That’s what you call a good writer. Your writing appears simple, direct, to the point…it’s fun, amusing, entertaining, interesting…and i keep reading! You’re a definite inspiration!

I’ve never heard anyone who waxed so beautifully poetic about ham hock and split pea soup.

I love this post from “A Perfect Cup of Coffee: The Best Part of Waking Up” at The Midlife Second Wife – The Real and True Adventures of Remarriage in Middle Age. Marci shared it with us on Zabar’s Facebook wall and it’s been a nice introduction to her blog.
This is actually one of my favorite images from her blog, mostly because of the beautiful light on her porch. It just feels warm and inviting.

I loved this article. Marci is a wonderful writer! I’ve been married for 25 years and haven’t had the experience of on-line dating but I hear a lot about it (I’m a therapist) and what Marci says is so “right on.” I love the line about the importance of knowing yourself when looking for a mate. Great words of wisdom!

Your blog [is] very interesting and informative.  The chicken recipe looks great as well.  Thanks for sharing it … maybe it will be on the menu here soon.

I have been enjoying your posts …. You are writing very personally, and instead of coming off egotistical (a danger with this kind of writing, I think), you come off as willing to make yourself vulnerable. That is so nice.
