We had lots of fun on different blog hops, not just the A to Z. <br /><br />We had our two languages, Swedish and English, as a given topic for discussion. I encouraged her to write in Swedish too. She inspired me. We became friends through writing.<br />Best wishes,<br />AnnaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-81071667522565955392014-09-03T06:43:47.767-07:002014-09-03T06:43:47.767-07:00Hi Lee.

I always enjoyed her humor and her no nonsense approach to things. <br /><br />I know it will take a long while to get over her absence, maybe the sense of loss will never go away.<br /><br />But how did I wind up #2 on the Linky? I'm never #2, 3 or 20.

I am #17 on the list...I think I entered the title wrong, but it's supposed to be Tahoma Beadworks I think, but the drafted post is called In Loving Memory of Tina Downey. <br /><br />Yesterday I was relaxing at home and all of a sudden I got the urge to go down to Onset. I couldn't shake it, so I drove down, parked, and walked around. I came upon a small garden of sunflowers and tears sprang to my eyes. Those pics will be featured in my 9/8 post.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-78921167699747901202014-08-27T06:15:14.741-07:002014-08-27T06:15:14.741-07:00I keep being reduced to tears with everything ever...I keep being reduced to tears with everything everyone says in memory of our beloved friend.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-28172043837609049672014-08-27T04:58:17.627-07:002014-08-27T04:58:17.627-07:00A beautiful tribute to Tina.
