Julia…

I wrote a comment on Cobble Court earlier today and made reference to the town I grew up in being similar to A Christmas Story. You replied in kind and mentioned that you liked that movie as well. Then I came back to read more of your (new to me) blog and wanted to read more about ” A Few Things To Say…”

Then I read Courtney’s comment where she mentions A Christmas Story and I about fell out of my seat. What a coincidence! I never really thought about my old hometown being like the homes in the movie until I took my kids back to see it this past summer and that’s what it reminded them of.

I guess that just goes to show what an impact that movie has made on people’s lives. I knew there was a reason I liked Hooked On Houses the minute I stumbled upon it…and now I know why.

When I saw that you’d read my blog and I’d said that it was a “good way to put the ‘ol thinker in neutral” I was actually mortified thinking that it could be taken as an insult Thankfully you took it as it was intended. Maybe what I shoud have said was that I get to think about stuff I *like* to think about instead of the 1000 things I *have* to think about.

Keep up the good work!

I mentioned your blog to a group of writers this week as a wonderful model for aspiring writers even though they are focusing on other matters. In order to write about anything the art of saying it well is the key.

Thanks for all the things I am learning from you.

Ps. Don’t let anyone start cleaning that major award lest it get dropped and broken.

Thanks for the blog mention. Emailing you those pictures are probably the one highlight of my blogging career and I’m glad everyone liked them.
I tried so hard not to smile at the Daisy Cottage, but it was too impossible.

I DO love that movie, Courtney! I wasn’t sure if anyone would catch the reference, but I’m glad you did. (I wanted to post a pic of a leg lamp but was afraid it might be too much for people who didn’t know what it was.)

Thanks again for giving me my “major award.” I’ll be looking for my leg lamp in the mail! -Julia

Julia, I laughed when I saw the phrase “Major Awards”. Do you love the movie “A Christmas Story”? If so, we may be kindred spirits. (In fact, this may be too much info, but my mom actually had a leg lamp made for my dad just like the one in the movie!) I do realize that if you haven’t seen the movie, or have, but don’t like it, I’m looking like an idiot right about now. Ah well. I guess it wouldn’t be the first time.
