The Answer Ladya

Gomma has been sharing her memories of growing up and of her family and so on with us for years.  Just recently she was musing about how many things were so vastly different in years past.  She was moved to write about them but wasn't sure where to start.   I suggested to her that she offer to be "The Answer Lady" for family members who had questions about the 'old days'.   And that she could write her answers and post them here on the blog for people to read.   She liked that and asked me to put up this notice.  

This is not to say, of course, that we won't be treated to more of her verse and stories

January!

Where had this warm day been wandering?
Above, in a sky of blue resembling May or June
The sun moves past the chimney and
Shines through the leafless trees.
The deck chair beckons, and a small bird
Sings repeatedly in the pine.
My busy cat returns, inquiringlyg seeming to say
"Are you just going to sit there?"
What to answer?
There is no other way except by pen and paper
To save this day.
