A woman who quietly made a big difference by helping with children's literacy (giving away millions of books) and offered music in the country way. Our lives have been bettered by having had her influence. Yes, I visited Dollywood with family once! I loved this woman and everything she did!
Starhawk is broadcasting a podcast, where she asks us to think more seriously about what we want from the revolution that's needed today...rather than what we don't want.

Hope you had a good birthday, and I wish you several more good years to come, in your new home!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Several years sounds good...and I am focused more on one day at a time now. I woke up to another beautiful dawn. Most of this old bod works...and I'm so grateful!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt was sad to hear that Dolly passed away, she will be missed. Your pottery is pretty. Take care, enjoy your day!
I kept just one piece of the little lady-bug pottery. Can't wait till I unpack it.
DeleteYou really did well with your pottery.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have a lot of pieces of pottery still. Slowly I'll unpack it.
DeletePerfect Pooh quote.
ReplyDeleteLove your ladybug pottery.
Sweet Dolly. What's your favorite song of hers? I keep hearing ones I hadn't heard before, because I don't listen to country music much.
Delete...a lot has happened this week, but keep rocking.
ReplyDeleteMe and Mick...not Mitch! There are a lot of my generation who survive!
DeleteSounds like everyone is a fan of your pottery; me too! Mick and Keith - two icons to bad living, .lol. Wishing you many more years.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Well, I sure haven't been an angel myself...surprised to have lived so long actually.
DeleteJagger and McConnell...the difference between pursuing pleasure or pursuing power.
ReplyDeleteWhat the US was demanding at the last minute was sovereignty over Canada.
The guys brag about their age, guess they always had a woman clean up for them.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday,!!!
I'd like to have that support, but have been the clean up crew more often than not!
DeleteHappy birthday (I may already have said that!) You are a good vintage. And, ah yes, I'm so sad about Dolly Parton. I loved her too, her music, her philanthropy and her kindness.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear that a Brit had awareness of Dolly's life and talents!
DeleteA couple of favorite memories: when she entered a Dolly Parton lookalike and came in second to a drag queen! When she financed a lot of the Moderna production and got the shot singing Vaccine!Vaccine!
ReplyDeleteWhat great memories! So glad she lived in our lifetimes.
