    Duh.

    Of course, I love cartoon #4. Adrienne gave me a t-shirt that says, “Born to read. Forced to socialize.” I’ve always said that I hope there’s a library in heaven, or I’m going to have to pack a helluva lot of books.📕

    I have always suspected that therapists and counselors sometimes catch themselves thinking some variation of the caption in cartoon #2.

    Yes, hands down #4 is has Sharon’s name written all over it.
    Oddly, there is something about #1 for me. You think it is going one way, but then it comes back to what was originally expected.

      Adrienne — I have NO idea why you would think #4 has my name written all over it. 😏

    We’re watching a lot of baseball. I love #1 for all the reasons!
    I remember our friend Gwen was buried with some of her favorite books in her coffin. Maybe I’ll be cremated with a favorite poetry book or poem.

      I had forgotten that our beloved Gwen was buried with some of her favorite books which no doubt included a Mary Oliver volume or other poetry. It was Gwen who fueled my passion for poetry. I’m forever grateful.🙏❤️

    Just to say…fun to have these back!

      It was fun combing through my cartoons to choose ones that had that peculiar sassy insouciance or inappropriateness that I just LOVE.❤️

    Wow Am I the only one to love #3. I laughed out loud.
    Maybe I am too preoccupied with the center holding.
    I’m with Carol. Soooo good to have cartoons back.

      Charlotte—I LOVED #3 which is why it made the cut for an “Ignite” cartoon. Details at eleven. ❤️
