It’s been rainy off and on around here (beautifully sunny today), but one never knew. #4 Daughter, the amazing Sara Marian, was speaking of popping over to help me with something and she used a phrase I had forgotten Mom used when somebody had to go out in the rain unprotected:
You’ll just have to run between the raindrops.
What a silly memory, to make me so happy.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Someone forgets — or loses by accident or theft — an umbrella.

April 14, 2021 at 11:30amSame. I can’t be bothered with umbrellas. My mom convinced me, at a young age, that they were lightning rods.

April 14, 2021 at 11:29amDon’t. That song is a major “trigger” for me, to this day. 🤣 I’ll explain privately.

April 14, 2021 at 3:30pmLOL! I’ve never had that system work for me. 🤣

April 15, 2021 at 9:21amI don’t think it would work for anybody but Maris Crane. “Frasier” fans know what I mean.

April 15, 2021 at 9:37amThere’s a very beautiful movie about a lost umbrella. The movie’s title is “HOWARDS END” it’s a special story. Try to watch it, it’a very romantic love story 🤗🤗🤗

April 15, 2021 at 9:45amI’ll be sure to look it up. I read it some years ago, and loved it. I see there was a TV mini-series of it starring one of my favorite actors, so I certainly want to see THAT version! 🙂

April 15, 2021 at 3:33pmE. M. Forster has written so many beautiful books 🙂 I’ve read them all and seen all the movies. Hiwards End is one of my favourite but I love “A ROOM WITH A VIEW” and ” MAURICE” too 😌

April 15, 2021 at 3:42pmOh, I DID love A ROOM WITH A VIEW! And A PASSAGE TO INDIA. It was so funny: I watched it with my husband and our oldest daughter; when it was over, they were discussing it and I said, “What movie did I watch?” I got a completely different reading of it than they did. I guess that’s what true art does. 🙂
