I can’t help it, I’m excited…I’ve been waiting weeks? months? for this :).
Mon
ths ago, one of my favorite bloggers, Janice of 5 Minutes for Mom, asked me if I’d like to submit a post for The Sampler, a new weekly column they were going to debut. It had to be an original essay, not posted elsewhere, and I jumped at the chance. Slowly, but it was still a jump.
Janice and I connected early in my blogging (maybe on my Dr. Kevorkian post???), and I’ve had an affection and admiration for her (and Susan) ever since. I think they’re smart at-home moms, innovative in their blog and its offerings, and they promote women, bloggers and mom-businesses like no one else! They’re all about Girl Power but without the feminazi edge :).
So…if you have time, I’d love for you to read my post THERE today…you’ll never get to see it at PENSIEVE.
"A handful of pennies smells to me like idyllic
childhood days. When I happen onto that distinct
fragrance, I’m transported to one of the
happiestmemories of youth, one my own children will never know."

Thanks, to Janice and Susan for including me as a Guest Contributor, and to Shera, A Frog In My Soup for hosting The Sampler (and offering tons of encouragement and enthusiasm to me personally and for the column in general).
Cool – I’ll check it out!
I’ll be having surgery – details on my blog…
I so sincerely loved your post, I read it twice.
You brought me right back to Mary’s — our childhood corner candy store.
Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with us at 5 Minutes for Mom.
Congrats on being included in The Sampler. I read it on 5 Minutes For Mom and then followed the link back to your blog to see what else you had to say! 🙂

Great essay, Robin! I wouldn’t expect any less from you – well done!

Hey y’all, BIGBIGBIG THANKS for humoring me, reading, and offering a few kind words :). I had fun writing it, so knowing a few peeps who’ve read me before actually saw it was bonus….AND crossing paths with a few newbies, too :).
Found you through The Sampler. Glad I stopped by!
I read it! It was wonderful… poetic! Congrats.
Robin,
