Tricia,
I loved it when you read it at our Saturday writer’s group and I love it now. “Down home” comes rushing back to me complete with Grandma’s feather bed and homemade biscuits in the morning. It is a state of mind, and your story puts me there. Thank you.

Tricia,

Loved this piece. Took me back to the days of running carefree through the fields at my Grandma’s farm. Great job!

I just spent three weeks “down home”, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and it felt just as good as you described it. Thank you for your reminder that I have the opportunity to make those “down home” memories for my children and their children, as well.

Beautiful.

Loved it! Made me cry and remember my “down home” and all those that have passed on. Life was truly simplier then. Thanks for the memories.

I’m sitting here with tears running down my cheeks. You have written this loving remembrance in such a way that you take your reader “down home” with you not only in their mind’s eye but in their hearts as well. While I must admit that I hope I stop crying soon………I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to have shared these loving, intimate memories of a slower, simpler, precious time in your life where you obviously learned so much, from seemingly very wise people, about how to be a positive force in the world and what it is that TRULY matters.

You took me back to a time when I too was able to spend so many happy times with my grandparents. To an easier time, a more carefree time. Lovely, Tricia, it made me cry.
