I love this author and sister blogger and if you haven’t visited her site she is a humorist supreme. It’s a very rare gift to write humorously, especially in a very serious context and pull it off. Lorna does and does it brilliantly (from my humble opinion). Her memoir is something I will read and read again. It is poignant and heartbreaking but also made me laugh myself silly. Wishing everyone a belated Happy Easter. Wishing everyone a very Happy Every Day.
Holidays of any kind–religious or secular–are simply not my thing. Too much fuss for my Highly Sensitive Person self and enough disturbing memories to just want to stay home alone and do something productive like blog or watch reruns of Mr. Ed, who was a very wise horse, indeed.

Happy Easter Monday, Paulette. This reblog is just too funny and true to its form. Perpetua.
Happy Easter Monday to you, Perpetua. Lorna has an incredible gift. She takes on everything with taste, sensitivity, depth and amazing humor. I don’t believe in much but I firmly believe “we” all need to laugh more. 🙂
Paulette, where DO you find such wonderful blogs to share with us? 😉 Hey, thanks again for the shout-out! 🙂
Ha ha! 🙂
Very talented writer, she is.
🙂
Thanks for reblogging Paulette. That was a hoot. We both had a good laugh – thanks Lorna.
Oh that’s so cool. She’s hilarious and an extremely talented writer. I just finished reading her memoir which was impressive. It’s not easy to work humor into depression. I admire this gift in others immensely. The world needs more laughter.
Indeed it does.
This is sacrilegeously hilarious, written in a nice dry and innocent tone.
Nicely stated. I agree with you. 🙂
Enjoyed the humor. Have been looking at some new humor approaches for my blog. It really is infectious!

Excellent! Thanks giving me a break in my too busy present schedule.
Glad you took an entertaining break. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know. Hope you find lots of good moments to pause and enjoy in your busy life. 🙂
