What an absolutely beautiful and moving story. You describe so well what a single element—such as a backyard, simply consisting of a plot of dirt and grass, can immediately instill such a strong feeling of nostalgia...and instantly being flooded with those memories.

Your stories are films Debra. Each and every one you not only hear but experience the scenes so clearly. Which actually could lead me into a whole other idea of what could be.

Oh Gayle... thank you! I will write more! I love writing them. It's keeping up with the mechanics of a blog that I don't think I'm so good at... trying not to make a mess of things! xx
