You can’t go wrong. Alicia could write about the nightly news and I’d read it. ☺️

As the mother of this wonderful niece and the proud sister-in-law of the wonderful lyricist, I am so moved by this wonderful text that I can not put it into words! I thank the universe for bringing us, after a long search, together!

Alicia, you are the best bodyguard aunt we could ask for!

Mel !!! You're here on Substack! So grateful for the sister in law I never knew I was missing. I thank the universe too. Can't wait to celebrate Thanksgiving with you all again someday soon and express my gratitude over knödl. 💕

A beautiful story, and beautifully written, as always. Where I live I think whistling at women is now an offence, not that I ever have done, as is looking intently. Older women are more inclined to agree with Mae West, that it's better to be looked over than overlooked.Those men you think are looking at your niece might be cross-eyed, have you ever considered that?

It’s so interesting how things change with generations huh?

Definitely, Nicci. I suppose it's partly to do with a pining for past youth. 😁

Hahahaha cross-eyed. No, quite intently focused. I’ve had to become a body guard 😅
