In reply to Nancy. What a nice thing to say, Nancy. I can't imagine that Harvard would want any part of my ramblings, but you gave me a smile with your kindness. :) xoxo

If you ever consider donating your blog to a library. The Schlesinger library which is part of Harvard is collecting blogs of women. You have such a well written and interesting blog. https://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/schlesinger-library/collections/donate-materials

Julie, God has given you such gifts – you can express yourself in such a way that moves all of us to tears of joy and appreciation. You also can write some stories including your Christmas letters that use to have me laughing and crying. I always wanted your dad to write a book but he never did. Think I will ‘hound you’ to as it would be great and just think how much your children and grandchildren would love it. Love you.

I must confess, it brought me to tears too!! Such sappy women we are! Julie, thank you for sharing. And while I am sure you could make a decent list of what you wish Michael “would change about himself” or “what Michael wishes his wife wouldn’t do,” you chose to focus on the loving element. And that speaks volumes about you both!

In reply to Carey. You are so kind, Carey. Your words touched me and I know Michael will be humbled by them too. He loves you. I do too. :)

I have 2 more to add to your list:

#34: how he is always nice to my friends and makes them feel like his home is their home too.

#35: the way he puts together a sampling of smoked fish and venison sausage and serves it to a woman who he knows will appreciate the effort that went into making these delicacies.

I will never forget the day that #35 took place! It was the first time in my life that a man served me food…let alone food that he had prepared himself. I think what touched me most was his almost childlike enthusiasm. For one fleeting moment, I was a visiting dignitary and he was the humble servant, offering up the best he could offer! I was amazed and blessed beyond words!

In reply to Ember.

That is the kind of “little girl” I could be Ember! I loved this account. I’ll pass it on to Michael, then he’ll be prepared for, “Keep scratching my ankles or I’ll kick you!” 🙂 xxoo

I have a friend whose daughter (now a young woman) used as a child to love having her hair stroked and played with. In the school assembly one morning, when this lass was about 10 years old, the child behind her was playing with her hair. She (a formidable child) turned round and said; “Keep doing that or I’ll hit you.”
That’s my girl!
