Like Nancy -- I too need to apologize!  I took too long to get back to you -- I just realized I have messages on here and friend requests. Oh dear. Time to get real about being a member of this place!

Hi Beverly, so sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. Thanks for the friendship. Glad to connect.

Thanks for finding my blog, Bev! Nice to meet you via She Writes. 

And love the barbie monologues. I used to play with Barbies, too, and make them go camping. I'd use my 70s-style tube socks as sleeping bags. 

Beautiful blog - I am now a follower. Thank you so much for following mine.

Hi Beverly. Thank you for the friendship and so sorry this is so late!!

Thanks, Beverly. No blog of my own, but I will check out yours!

Thanks for the friending invite Beverly!  I enjoyed reading your post about the peculiar.

I'm very happy to connect with you on She Writes.  Now I'll check out your blog.  Florence

Hello Beverly, I'm brand new to SheWrites so thank you very much for the welcome.

Bev, thank you for the invitation (I've accepted) and for visiting Writing Without Paper.

I had that exact Barbie (okay, not exact, she had brown hair) but circa 1968 or so!  And I won't say how the older girls in my neighborhood positioned her and Ken.

Thanks Bev, I have started reading your previous blog posts, they are so enjoyable. Yes, I am glad we are friends :-)

Hi Beverly,

I want to be friends with anyone who says, "i come from a place where people's crazy is just below the surface, not buried deep but visible to even the most untrained eye." because I so get it. Love your blog.

Thanks for the invite Bev.  I would’ve replied immediately but I got caught up in your blog!  Fantastic – and a bit daunting.  I’m at the querying stage for my first novel (a mystery) and know that I have to get myself setup online -- Blog, twitter, etc – starting from nothing it seems like a huge task.  Any advice from a blog award winner? 

Hi Bev. I hope I am posting this in the write place. Thank you for the recommendation. I'm kinda chuffed.  Do get in touch again if I'm in the wrong place. 

The best Val H. Sask.
