Crumbs,Tidbits, and Nuggets - oh, my!

As a young girl, it was "diaries." Then, in a futile attempt at grown-up sophistication, it was daily "journals." Now, in this electronic age, it's "blogging." I know - I'm dating myself, but writing things down has been a part of me since I could first hold a pencil. That old-school stuff used paper, killed trees. What the hell? I'm going green! Here's my Crumbs, Tidbits, and Nuggets offered in humble contribution to the greater digital universe.

Author Unknown

I've tried, honestly, but I can't find the author to credit with the following, which is nicely framed and beautifully illustrated in hand calligraphy, perched in a place of honor on my mantle, a gift a few years ago from a still best friend:

"I want to be an outrageous old woman who never gets called old lady. I want to get leaner and meaner, sharp-edged and earth-colored, till I fade away from pure joy." - Author Unknown

Yep. That about says it.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks to my good friend, Jody Miller, formerly of the swinging town of Feasterville, PA, the author is now known - L. Vaskuil Dutter.
