Down Memory Lane
Writing is the forever 'project' I remember that some columns back I wrote there would be no more projects for me. That was after I volunteered to be an example of how to earn money for my Florida church the old fashioned way by having a cookie sale. I was swamped with cookies which Ray had to move seven times. That was when I swore off doing projects. I doubted if you thought I would, for you have read about so many of them. Writing must be my forever project. When Over 50 accepted a writing I sent to them, we began what next month will be a 15-year relationship. I must say I like being on the front page. My writing, humble as it might
be, keeps me tuned to life around me. It was back in 2007, I decided to put together all my Doris writings and narrate Butt each day as I was writing in a book, Where Hollyhocks Bloom. I have a few copies around, but the press has about stopped on that project. I have put together several booklets of people’s lives in our Florida community. Writing about Vivian, a very prominent townsperson, brought the most emotional experience of all my writing. I delivered her book on her 94th birthday. That afternoon, she fell and died several weeks later. I was told she had the open book
beside her recliner. Also, she mentioned the book on the way to the hospital. You all know hollyhocks were a continuous project all during my retirement years at the farmstead. I even set up a website and sold seed all over the United States and even sent some to England for a gentleman’s cottage. It was sad to leave them. About the same time, Mr. McGregor’s little garden along Hogan Hill Road came into existence. He first tended vegetables and then went strictly to flowers. Peter, Flopsy, Mopsy and Peter Cottontail moved on to another garden. Mr. McGregor, somewhat neglected, still looks about the farmstead. I wonder if he misses us. Doris Butt is a retired teacher, and can be reached at raydoris53@aol. com.
