L is for my two friends named Linda and they are the
greatest people in the world and I don’t know how I would live without them in
my lives to keep me in line. My first friend Linda lives in Missouri and is
from Mississippi and is a talented storyteller, gifted craftsperson and a
supermom raising three boys and dealing with all that testosterone. She helps
keep me grounded and is always there when I need a shoulder to cry on, have a
truckload of drywall ready when someone makes me mad and she is one of my many
serial cheerleaders. If I feel doubtful of my work she encourages me to go on
or says hey why not trying this instead and it makes sense. I am blessed to
have met her when I started going to writer’s group in Missouri and she is
still a close friend even though we are miles apart. Thanks for being in my
corner and keeping my butt in line and listening to my rants and raves and my
sometimes off the wall ideas and keeping me in line and on track with my
writing along with Valerie and Avery.
The other Linda in my life is my co-worker at Wal-Mart who
helps me stay calm when I get so mad I want to throw someone in the oven and
lock the door. She’s there when I want to tear my hair out from frustration and
she gives me honest criticism on my current stories and always wants to know
what will happen next. She helps me when she can and I try to do the same for
her. She will be one of the ones I miss the most when I leave Wal-Mart in the
next week to start my new adventure. I will miss the stories of her
granddaughter and her ability to make me laugh. Thanks for three great years
and I will keep in touch with all of you at the bakery.
