Mother taught me to see what so many miss : the world around them.<br /><br />Victor smiled from ear to ear with reading your "Victor rocks!"<br /><br />Alice pursed her lips like a fussy librarian and snorted, "What Laila meant was that you have rocks in your head!"<br /><br />"Victor rocks!" would make a great title to a review of his adventures. And maybe win you a great Christmas gift to boot!<br /><br />Alice just frowned disapprovingly at me. She is a very proper Victorian ghoul, you know. Just saying. <br /><br />MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I'm glad you're able to keep the vision alive.<br /><br />Have a Merry Christmas, Roland. I'll be gone till next year.<br /><br />I wanted to tell you, Victor rocks! I am totally loving your book. :)Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-78105435580487144912011-12-14T12:48:29.183-06:002011-12-14T12:48:29.183-06:00Nicki :

I have sent you a copy of Victor's & Alice's first adventure that you can read with the free download, KINDLE FOR PC. And yes, I did feel an incredible sense of my mother's presence while writing the adventures of Hibbs.<br /><br />Michael :<br />Good to see you here. And Mooderino is right. Perhaps you look just like Captain Sam McCord, who has a connection with Victor that neither of them suspect!<br /><br />If the tooth fairy could just take the pain, I would be happy -- or just look like Olivia Wilde and give me a peck on the cheek! LOL.<br /><br />It is very good to see you back after so long!<br /><br />Donna :<br />Hibbs, the cub with no clue, wants to give you a great big bear hug. But he has to grow up to do that! :-)<br /><br />Summer :<br />I've missed your visits and comments something fierce. I am so happy to see you back. Hibbs giggled, "And see your front, too!" Ah, forgive him. He's just a cub with no clue. :)<br /><br />Sarah :<br />Mother often told me how proud she was of me. Her love and support I wear even now like a ghost of a rose. Thanks for visiting and chatting!<br /><br />The Desert Rocks :<br />I found teaching especially gratifying when I could reach their hearts and minds -- which was all too seldom. Sigh.

The third grade readers I work with belong to migrant workers who don't speak English. Making connections makes my soul sing!

As always ...A lovely tribute to your mother Roland. As always I leave your blog with a lighter heart.<br /><br />I loved this description ... "Hair of living lightning became a shaking display of Northern Lights.<br /><br />It's nice to visit after such a long absence.<br /><br />I had to laugh at Mooderino's comment at my blog today. He looked at Victor's picture and then my blog pic.... He noticed a resemblance between us. I laughed and realized he was right. Victor looks very similar to what I HAD looked like at about sixteen. Funny.... I guess he could be my son now. LOL.<br /><br />I hope you are well....

I think Little One is very wise. <br /><br />What an amazing connection you must've felt to your mother while writing.<br /><br />I think...when I write, I'm mostly trying to figure things out for myself, connect with my own soul maybe? But then I get the odd sensation that I must share it - because maybe there's another soul out there that will also connect. <br /><br />Are your books going to be on the Nook? I'm hoping Santy Clause is going to drop one of those at this house. :)Nicki Elsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412032684225126973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-56335939385131551972011-12-13T16:25:49.929-06:002011-12-13T16:25:49.929-06:00Thanks for understanding, Hart :

I know the Turquoise Woman was.<br /><br />Robert Kennedy wrote : Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not? <br /><br />Kittie :<br />Like you, I believe the past is a rudder that steers us to our future.

And I like the way you think of writers SEEING differently. We do. Instead of seeing just what is there, we see the potential and are satisfied to make up for what we don't see--to give depth and meaning from our own minds, instead of thinking what is there is all there is.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.com
