I really do like that aspect of life in the city, with all the many different varieties of people to see and meet. Though the city could sure use more trees.<br /><br />Yeah, it would be tough to walk through a forest wearing high heels and a tutu.Melinda R.

Once I described him in his heels and very very short shorts to a couple of teenage kids. A few minutes later, the kids careened around the display of strawberries to tell me, "He's here! He's here!" Try putting him in a scene in your novel. (But maybe not in your raccoon novel.) I love life in the city, where nobody cares much if you want to dress up in Superman suits or tutus. Life briefly in the Twin Cities suburbs made me long for the long, flowing gowns of the Somali women and the trattoria and the Norte Americano restaurants.<br /><br />Thank you for replying, Melinda. And congratulations on your darling little boy.Jane Resh Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799347884676690054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-40759680354022572222012-08-30T00:04:07.344-05:002012-08-30T00:04:07.344-05:00Thanks so much for your reply, Ann.

Which I silently commended him on, since *I* can't even wear high heels. But you have some very interesting folks up in your neck of the woods. And I think it's lovely.Melinda R.

Frost's "No surprise..." mandate is tacked above my computer to try to write by, because I know that when I read something unexpected, on a micro or macro level (even if dark), I'm delighted in such a way that my brain opens up a little! An author who can do that is worth reading.Ann Jacobushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645471098671614323noreply@blogger.com
