in a few places in this list, i was left to imagine the backstory, and oh so curious about what moments in history were unfolding as you captured them in enumeration……
and, by the way, isn’t gloaming a beautiful word…..
thank you for this, always this….
leave it to you to read my mind…i felt more cryptic than usual this month, and unintentionally so. i much prefer to be forthright, but i suppose this form doesn’t always lend itself to the full story. perhaps short vignettes that shed more light will one day follow…
and yes, yes, yes re: gloaming. one of the most beautiful.
thank *you* always and always. xo
Debbie Gibson. Yep.
my first ever concert. she was everything.
Aww, Debbie Gibson was my favorite too. Lost in Your Eyes brings back so many memories.
