That made me cry a little, it was so sweet.<br /><br />It is a lesson in so many ways.<br /><br />AND I love the way you can paint a character in just a few words. You're so good at it.<br /><br /><br /><br />neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-52133148755436817512017-03-08T23:21:27.945+00:002017-03-08T23:21:27.945+00:00Mage: thank you.

...Granny Annie: I'll try no to disappoint you.<br /><br />Parsnip: bless you for your patience.<br /><br />SDC: according to William - but it was a very 'Wiiiam' remark. In fact - like most young girls at a dance without a partner I was a bag of nerves - dreading being a wall flower and recent events had done little to restore self esteem.<br />The 'nastiness' emanated - in all three cases from women well past girlhood - old enough to know better.<br />The short answer is no - Maddie didn't stay in Africa but I don't want to jump ahead in the story. :-)<br /><br />Kim: thanks for the advice and will have a go when I've bolstered my courage.<br /><br />Scarlet: thanks honey.

Try switching over to the HTML version and pasting in there - it might work better. You'll lose any bold or italics, but then you very rarely use them so it should be OK :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-51095779088340821422017-03-07T02:53:37.335+00:002017-03-07T02:53:37.335+00:00So the conceited looking girl was you?
