Sally, so clever and insightful, and sooo West Coast! I laughed out loud two or three times and really enjoyed the way you think! I had to chuckle when I wondered what my relatives in parts of the country would think about it. Maybe they wouldn’t even understand parts of it - which made it even more delightful! Then I thought that I am so blessed to be here in this West Coast to enjoy the uniqueness that could seem quirky to the non locals! I can’t tell you how many mothers I have heard having intelligent conversations with their children here in California!
Your writing is so good and enjoyable. I tried to find a flaw. There wasn’t one. However, I do have a question. What does YEAH mean? Does it mean yeah like yes or yay which was yea when I was growing up? I have seen that word spelled different ways with different meanings! Just need clarification😅👍 After all these years of wondering, I think I’ll look it up!
So grateful for your reflections Marilyn. YEAH indeed means yes or yay. Spoken perhaps with the same energy behind it that would be brought to the word "sick!" as defined by new generation slang. I mean, now they have to put "awesome" as a synonym for the word sick in the Thesaurus... Who knew!
Very enjoyable, Sally. You are a distinct personality in your writing. To say “you have a gift” would be an understatement.
What I related to most was your comments about reducing your shampoos. I learned from my grandmother & mother to only wash my hair once a week. I’ve grown up that way & every hairdresser I’ve gone to comments on how thick my hair is & what a pain in the butt it is to cut! I’ve been blessed that way. “Life chooses us!”
I love every bit of this, Sally!

This is all I will read for now. Want to make it last & be able to give my full attention.
