Thank you so much for reading it!

I love that line, too. Memories, dark and fragrant and real, can transport us from our daily lives.

I hope you have a great day.

Thank you, thinking of you too!❤️

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hatred, only love can do that.

What contradiction this day is!

How I love this!! I had momentarily forgotten about the fun impact height has on relationships & perception. I was a gawky 5'7" kid in towering platforms next to my tiny best friend; her mom called us "Mutt & Jeff." We are still best friends today but we have evened out in height. Time alters everything.

Ha! My brother pictured with me here is Geoff, so we grew up with a lot of Mutt and Geoff comments.

You're the best! I was just thinking about you on this MLK Day.

Y'all, Tracy's daddy is the Civil Rights photographer, Spider Martin. He was in Selma on Bloody Sunday and he was with the March from Selma to Montgomery. Thanks to Spider and his camera, the world saw what was really going on in Alabama.
