Some Wonderfully Perfect People

I am feeling blessed to know some wonderful people. Today isn't one of my better days health wise and when people find forgiveness for the way I can be abrupt, I am so thankful. My M.S. can cause a world of pain as the lesions affect the pain protection and when it's bad, I can bark loud, grow demanding,sharp, impatient, a host of qualities that I would prefer not to admitt to having. So what am I talking about with these good people? I will go in order of my contacts A.God first... B.My husband, Milan whose been gone for two weeks building on a glass heated and cooled porch for our cabin and also a walk in closet-who forgave me for whining about returning to a bit of a mess. He wanted it all clean and spiffy so I could see what he and he the carpenter had done in the burning sun...to make me happy and for a surprise. I would never have his degree of patience or warmth...And I mean it. He desrves a huge hug! and a lot more...He always fogives... C. Cody Lopez who is my I Universe consultant. Cody has sat through the three times when I was going to switch comapanies because of the fact that I bought a costly prodution package-Cody who listened to me threaten and gripe and insult! Cody a twenty-seven year old consultant whom I adore for all of his hopes and dreams for me.He has given me nothing but goodness and an example of how people should and could be... D. Counsel for Indie Authors...Richard and Diane...Editors of my book-Candle Light Dreams- Their traits-insightful; giving; two people who point out mistakes in a helpful way that makes one feel like being in a book club in order to think and express -Two creative, timely, enjoyable, bright, fantastic people who have made me glad I write... E. Carol Doyle-Living Better at 50+ A beautiful magazine and a a fantastic woman. The best words come from her. She is immediate in her appreciation and true to her word. I wish I had Carol's formula because she does so many things successfully and with uttterly amazing ease. I have had the opportunity to be published by her after she read some of my more poetic responses on Twitter. What would the world be like with more Carols? These are my August picks for perfect people. Blessings sent to them...

Ginny speaks out! Candle Light Dreams Nebraska

Once again, I'm the spokes person for Barb's book. My topic for today might shock you and her. It's about my brother romancing my best friend. when Celeste and I were third graders I made her join my "Hate Will Club." It began the day he put a bull snake in the outhouse. Celeste and I were looking at the pictures in the Monkey Ward Catalog when I looked down at something swirling about on the floor. There wasn't much light-just enough for me to figure out fast that a snake was at my feet.We screamed and scurried out half dressed. Celeste and I ran to the house crying. Will had to milk all the cows that week. It wasn't long after that when we were twelve that Celeste fell for Will who had no idea she was alive. I was so mad at her. My best friend thought my brother was CUTE. I would have made her pick him or me but it was then that her parents were killed. How could I blow up at her in the depth of her grief. It wasn't long before her abusive aunt came to take her away. I forgot all about Celeste's betraying our friendship over the likes of my scum brother. He was the star quarter back and stud of Brady high. Will could have his choice of dating anyone. But then I went to Brady a bit later and was just as popular. We matured and became friends. It was five years later when Will met the hatched and beautiful Celeste who was goggling over his pigs at the State Fair..That Thanksgiving Will flew her home to the ranch. When I first saw her-I about dropped dead. She was model beautiful. I was so glad to see her again.We ate dinner... the family teasing her the whole time. We knew how shy she was. We'd just finished when Will kissed her right there at the table She, "Miss Bashful," thought nothing of pressing her lips against his. I couldn't believe it. EvenI,one who is bold and provocative, wouldn't do that. I would not kiss the brother of my best friend in front of her or her family! Did she understand that it was Will's lips she was kissing?? Will is nice, he's handsome, he's a romeo with the girl's but for the life of me, I can't fathom any girl I know wanting to romance the boy I grew up with. It just gave me the creeps. If she had been a stranger it would have been all right. That day I knew that she was the one he'd fallen for and it wasn't going to end. In time I came to terms with the real problem. Will would come to know her better than me; she would share things i would never know about. He would love her more than me or anyone in our family and she would love him more than me. I can laugh now and know that Celeste and I will still be best friends. Better yet, who's she going to rely on during their fights? It's me. And who's going to come to know the real Will. It's her. Lots of laughter-Ginny

Ginny Temple of Candle Light Dreams

I'm Ginny Temple of Candle Light Dreams. At present I'm the teacher down at Union School where Celeste the star of the story went to school. Back when we were kids I was the one who led "shy" Celeste around. I made sure she had a best friend which was me. We met the day she moved in to my parents tenant house. Will, my cocky and mean brother, and I walked across the farmyard to meet the new family. To be honest Celeste was a bit messy and bedraggled. Through the years she always had the faded look of a girl whose parents were having to watch every penny. But me, I simply adored her. That first day I learned her doll was tucked away somewhere in a box and by the way she stared at the ground when I asked where her dolls were, I could tell she thought I wasn't going to like her. What I first loved was her hair, Celeste has always had the prettiest auburn hair just the way her mother did. Her sister Bonnie the outspoken brilliant one has the black hair.
Moving.ahead, I forbid Celeste to like Will, my brother. It didn't matter what we were doing, playing Union Aid or using the two seat outhouse, he was a ornery and conceited as they came. I was a third grader when I told Celeste she had one choice.We were walking to school and I said, "So Celeste are you in on my Hate Will club?" She got all shook up and flustered because I told her there was a pig hanger for hogs, a pot to boil them in, and an ice pick in the particular shed we were using for our club house. Well, guess what? She thought I was going to kill Will and hang him on the pig hanger. I told her that was a good idea! Mostly I  wanted to make the gizzard cry.
If I told you the rest of the story about what happened to Celeste and how the story ended, you'd be oh so surprised. But then, it wouldn't be a story would it? Presently,Will, and Celeste and I are in Hawaii; we are being readied by the Indie Counsel for our debut.  So much has happened over the years and now that we're entering WW11 there's so much more happening. Just don't let Celeste fool you. She may be tall and beautiful, but she's got more strength than most anyone I know. To survive her ordeal with her "psyco" Aunt Sylvie and that pedophile pastor she had to. See you in a couple of days for more.
