  8. ah, Nancy, …firstly, such beautiful words you’ve written, .., ..& this song, Morning Has Broken, …makes my insides melt ,…& my eyes water, in response…(I sound quite a wreck don’t I…😉) … but I will recover my equilibrium, … clasp it to my bosom, … and depart, … hope your day has been a good one, … mine has been fantastic, …💙

    1. It’s definitely that type of song, Penn. Did I ever mention that I had the thrill of meeting Cat Stevens back in 1973? Bill & I were at a big house party in the Hamptons and Cat was there as well. At one point I wandered into the library of the house and a minute later, Cat Stevens came in, too. We were the only people in the room and we talked for about 10 minutes about life. I never once said anything about him being a big popular singer nor did I ask for his autograph. Doing that would have broken the spell, you know? (And the whole time I was thinking how utterly gorgeous this man was!) It was 10 minutes of my life I’ll never forget and every time I hear one of his songs, I think of that day; I wonder if he remembers that girl in the library. Probably not.

      1. You never know Nancy, he probably does, … I bet he was really grateful that you didn’t ask for his autograph, … or say you recognised him,… and thank you for sharing your wonderful moment,… I don’t think I’ve met anyone famous, … I’m wracking my brains here, (can you hear the noise, a creaking sound?)… but nope, come up with nothing, … so I’ll get a vicarious thrill, by knowing you, who met the lovely Cat Stevens,…💫🤗💙💫

        1. It’s so funny, Penn. I’ve met a lot of famous people totally by accident or in passing. Once a month for three years of my teenage life I would see Steven Tallarico (Steven Tyler of Aerosmith) at family gatherings …. my parents and his favorite aunt & uncle were good friends …. and I’ve tried several times to reconnect with him but I think I’d have better luck calling the pope! Life is so funny and strange, you know, and everything happens for a reason. ♡

  9. At this rate, it’ll soon be dawn. You’re my first ‘blog’ tonight … whoops, it’s midnight. From a terrible day with my computer troubles, to some positive outcomes, with the help of my “whiz-kid’ little brother, I think the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter … Hopefully the morning will be a good dawning of reinstalling and restoring … 💙🌏📘💻
