Lisa, thank you for this wonderful tour! How very special that you were able to spend this time with your mother, you caught me off guard with her illness and all the more special that you have these memories of her.

The tour bus trip is a funny one and you tell it perfectly! If it's Tueday, it must be Belgium??

I'm off to visit your site now, thank you Lisa H for the introduction!

Lisa M. B.;

Well, you've gone and done it.
You've made this cynical, sarcastic, snarky girl teary-eyed.

I loved reading this the first time. I'm sure I'll love reading it the second and third. Thank you for the photos. I didn't get a chance to travel with my mom, being so young and both of us poor, but after she died (on Mother's day '85) I saw so many places and things and wondered, what funny thing would mom have said to that? or, that? and especially to that?!

Thank you for this story.

Seth

Thanks for sharing such a one-of-a-kind and touching story. I am so happy that you and your mother were able to have such a wonderful adventure together.

Bwah-ahahaha... you are now under my spell. You will now add me to your respective blog readers.

Seriously, thank you guys so much for your genuinely sweet and affirming words. My mom would be thrilled to pieces to be semi-famous.

[blowing kisses] Mwah.

Lisa - I remember when you took this trip with your mom. I remember the first time you told me she was sick. I even remember the smell of chitlins cooking in her kitchen. Oh yes, it is etched in my nostrils forever. When I see a certain shade of yellow, I always think of her - and you. Thanks for the poignant story.

What a beautiful story and memory of your Mom. Enjoyed very much the warmth of this bonfire.

LMB, I'm cracking up at your statement of having graduated in the last century. I never thought of it that way. Born in the last century too. Back in the 1900's I took this European bus trip....Sounds like the memories will be treasured for a century. What a perfect time of year to be remembering your Mom.

What IS this place?

  • I’m a huge fan of stories, the kind of stories that people tell each other over coffee, on the phone, over dinner. I live to hear everything that my friends and family have to share. Card games? Charades? Bah. All of that stuff just gets in the way of the juicy part: The Stories. Come, sit here with me, and tell me what’s been going on. What have you been doing? Who have you seen? Where have you been?..... In that spirit, I’ve created The Gypsy Bonfire. I ask my authors to tell a story that you could share over a quick cup. Picture yourself sitting around a Bonfire with VERY close friends. It’s chilly, you’re cozy -maybe wrapped in a soft blanket, hands clutching a mug of steaming hot Mexican Cocoa, the creative energy is hovering just overhead. You could not be more relaxed and everyone’s sharing a story. You know… just kinda chatting……… There will be a new story on the 1st of the month or there abouts. I’ll be reminding you on my main blog. So. Join us around the Bonfire. No big deal, just a place to relax and invigorate your own stories. Get the movie going in your head. Pick out the Sound Bites from your own World. Thanks for coming by.
