lovely writing.

you’re very talented. I can relate to a lot of these stories…Alabama…not W VA.

Great dialogue.

Buff,

Lot going on here as usual. I like these two curmudgeons passing on news and making a distinction between their faith and that of a fundamentlist. And because they’re not fundamentalist having made their views clear they turn to drinking coffee and talking about the weather. Subtly put B, subtly put. Agree with Molly, lovely writing, full of flavour and depth.

Love it, as per usual. I can almost hear them, really, though I’m probably substituting the voices of my neighbors

Thanks Buffy. Another full hearted exchange.

Heyyy, I’ve been here before…a long time ago…maybe via Belle?

I read a previous post of yours – I spent Christmas on the Italian Riviera, it was lovely, so hopefully you can go soon.

that is awesome!!!

Hi Buffy! Seems talking over coffee is at least universal.

Btw, thanks for commenting on my blog.

Ultimately it always comes back to the weather

Naming characters is one of the hardest things. Your names are fantastic.

Buffy, you write wonderfully!

I love it… Love it love it love it. Thank you!

Dont you just love the conversations that come from a cup of coffee? But what I dont get is…what’s a publican?

A publican was a tax collector of sorts who worked for the Roman Empire during biblical days. Generally considered ‘unsavory’, horrible people.

I heard an old man say once that ‘publicans’ were what they use to call sinners. It wasn’t…not in the strictest sense..but I thought it had a nice ring to it.

Moods of yesteryear

like it!

You are inspiring. Love the layers.
