A million, trillion years ago...
...in a galaxy far away....
...I was a hippie.
See, I was a doggie gal even back then. Those dogs are named Bubba and Katie. And guess what? I still have that coat!!!!

I lived at the end of a long and bumpy dirt road, lined with blackberry bushes and wild day lilies...
In a ramshackle little house that I loved.
I worked three nights a week as a cocktail waitress way out in a country bar called Wayne and Jimmy's. I came home with $100 cash in my jeans each night and felt quite wealthy.
I had a '65 VW van with a rusted out bottom that was named "The Green Bean." That van took me to the Smoky Mountains many times.
This was written on the back of that photo:
And then I left the South where I had grown up and headed to California. I moved into the basement of a villa in the Hollywood Hills that used to be the home of Barbara Stanwyck but had been converted into apartments.
I took a class on writing for children at UCLA.
And a lot of other stuff happened and now I live in New England and write books for children.
The End
DUDE.
ReplyDeleteI can say no more than that.
LOVE THIS POST!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely adorable, Barb! But then I already knew that.
Your books snagged me.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you are a dog loving person hooked me.
Now this? I'm...speechless with envy.
Whoa. That house in the woods is EXACTLY how I imagined the place where Georgina hid the dog!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you said that, Mary Lee, because that IS the house I pictured during writing. It has a little screen porch on the back of it that is the one I pictured in my mind.
