I live in the small town of Haddonfield, NJ. I am at an age in my life when I seem to spend time thinking and musing about life. These musings are usually stimulated by my walks through Haddonfield, my reading of books and fellow bloggers, and my interaction with my group of fabulous family and friends.
Oh I adore Shel Silverstein. He is one person who has certainly touched several generations now with his wit, wisdom, and creativity. Nicely done Bernadette. 🍁
I only know him through his songs for Dr Hook, but am going to explore his writing now! I love James Thurber and Shel seems a kindred spirit.

You will enjoy him. Did you know he wrote A Boy Named Sue?

Thanks, I’m sure I will. Yes I did, he also wrote one called Father of a Boy Named Sue too. Doesn’t get as much airplay though 😊
