Fictions mixed with real life experiences, so recognizable to folks like myself who can relate to those details of the era. He builds wonderful bridges between the past and the present.
You made me think of my grandmother, who chose to marry the son of a tenant farmer of her father's, who didn't die in a ditch because G-grandpa was held down by his wife and quite a few relatives, who gave birth to my mom, (who really didn't know how to raise teens), My Grandmother who was my champion and also taught me becoming a woman was not a sin.
Thank you. My gramma smoked in the pantry - and everyone knew. My grandad swore at the dinner table so my gramma could yell, 'SAMMY!' My grandparents had a few encyclopedias, A LOT of National Geographic mags, very old Disney cartoon books, and farm magazines from the forties. I learned not to plant what the government promoted to stop erosion, and is now considered a weed. My mom had tampon promotional booklets that helped me become okay with all the weirdness that happened after, but Gramma made it okay. But our outhouse under the willow tree never went BOOM.
That Garrison Keillor was treated so poorly shows the degradation of decency in our society! His wonderful stories have and still warm my heart! The music, charm and humor are forever needed in life . Thank You for providing these experiences!
Me, too! There is no better story teller with his very distinctive voice that sooths and the innocence that makes you laugh at everyday things found in any small town or the experiences of small town life.
Should we all be so fortunate to have someone who loves us.
I'd like to think so too. Thanks!
Yes. It's dreadful to think of all who don't.
I will never get tired of these stories.
Thank you for listening!

@@sealyonessthats a big lesson, and too rarely taught.
If only the world had an Aunt Naomi - imperfect but overflowing with love 🩵

You're welcome.
I’m still pretty upset how the me too movement destroyed Garrison Keillor
I wouldn't say "destroyed." Since then, GK has had numerous and successful public appearances. But I do understand and share your feelings.
Me, too! There is no better story teller with his very distinctive voice that sooths and the innocence that makes you laugh at everyday things found in any small town or the experiences of small town life.
Yes, so am I upset by that. The "me too" movement meant that an accusation was sufficient to ruin someone's career...so unfair.
Being a male, I had my own version: "Me neither."
