What a strong stylist you are, Mercedes. Vivid scenes come alive with sounds, aromas and precision.
Plus, elegant insights such as this grab hold and compel a second reading, s-l-o-w-e-r this time:
"Most memories are like a smooth stone from a riverbed. Nothing on their own, but cobbled together, they make a form and derive something close to meaning."
The next one is giving me fits, but that's how it goes. The pressure I feel is from my small town watching me write about their lives and memories. Thanks for the kind attention you gave this one.
Lovely, Mercedes. I love your writings. I have learned so much more about your dad than I knew before reading this. Still admire him lots! Especially for helping you to be who you are today.
Dale Raymond was at Homer High when I was there- his mom was Mary Raymond who just recently died. Long time Homer family. Keep on writing- your writing is engaging and thought provoking. Thanks. Sue Post

Thank you so much, Sue! I love knowing the details. For some reason, I didn't know you went to Homer High. I appreciate your encouragement.
