We've been hearing a lot of her in the run up to the VE Day commemorations, and since. I enjoyed your tribute immensely.

(But she got ONE from Georgia with a bluebird on the front of it!) They don't really have bluebirds in England, which I know she knew but I told her that since I was American, I was sending her one! xxKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-9595820050351070692020-06-19T22:25:37.114-04:002020-06-19T22:25:37.114-04:00She really was quite a woman!She really was quite a woman!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-76169222472617606462020-06-19T22:22:55.302-04:002020-06-19T22:22:55.302-04:00I love how she wrote she was 78 and still in her p...I love how she wrote she was 78 and still in her prime; what a good spirit. I am reading about the Blitz now (The Splendid and the Vile), what a time of nightmare and struggle for the British people.
