Comments on: A Sunny Morning http://iwassaying.net/2008/08/15/a-sunny-morning/ Chatter, memories and rants. Don't stop me if you've heard this one before.

Clay and I had a great deal to communicate and stay in touch off and off now more than 40 years later. Texas and Maine are a LOT alike, although Texans and Mainers look and sound quite different. You have to have spent time in both places to appreciate the connection. Maybe it has to do with both states having taken novel routes to statehood! Pattie,
