Cretins At the Hop

Southern Rock

Owned

Hightstown NJ turntables in 1978.

I'd pop on the--

who?--"Ram Ons," hear Cretin Hop,

Not much Rockaway Beach, before

Getting lost,

Seeing Fort Dix signs

Dear Patti,

Am trying to channel your perseverance, fortitude, simplicity and humor.

A bad diagnosis is not the end or is it? Any suggested reading on mortality...non medical :-)

Thanks for all of your compelling work.

Hi Ms Patti, I am new here and catching up on your posts. I love the bungalow. My father lived in a bungalow in Rockaway during the late 60s, early 70s. Glad that some are still around.

My mother loved Girl of the Limberlost. I have not thought of it for decades. I'm thinking there is a special moth in this book.

Just catching up on your visits and thanks for sharing this little glimpse into you hideaway, getaway home away from home. I often think of a little escape to a little home somewhere near a lake. But for now it is me and my little Hotel home in Downtown L.A, rich in it's history but has seen better days. Certainly no Chelsea Hotel but in it's hey day may have given her a run for the money. I love the table with interchangeable treasures!

Patti, I love your table of interchangeable objects. You’ve inspired me to try something similar. I inherited a number of vases and tchotchkes from my mom who passed away last year. Some items go back 2 generations. I don’t want to keep everything, but perhaps I will have a seasonal rotation of objects instead of trying to find a place for everything all at once. Thank you as always for sharing.

Your Rockaway hideout has turned out fantastically... I especially love your table/altar thingy... I've been reading Ariel since 1990, so you've got some years on me.

It's my favorite of hers.
