I'm so glad you mentioned Elizabeth Goudge. I discovered her about 20 years ago at a time when I needed such wisdom, it was a Godsend. Isn't it funny how that works?

Please forgive my tardiness in reading and responding to your very generous words and good thoughts regarding my books (and the urge for another:) It has been a very busy several months I am now able to take a breath and catch up on all of my very, very, favorite blogs :)!! You are such a wonderful writer, and thinker, that I don't want to rush through your posts so I "save" them for more thorough reading and then time gets by me and I am suddenly months behind!! I have a short window where things are calm and I am totally enjoying all the lovely posts I've missed. I'm off now to do more catching up of your lovely, lovely blog (and not just because you write/wrote nice things about me, but I DO appreciate the good thoughts :). God bless you and your lovely family. <br /><br />Love from your friend,<br />Tracey xox.<br /><br />P.S. I too am VERY grateful for this inspiring list(s). I've seen and read many on the lists but there are a few I've missed.Tracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-79826353791887412032009-08-04T23:02:23.068-04:002009-08-04T23:02:23.068-04:00Hooray!

Yes I remember the coffee commercials too...good to the last drop! Coffee was a theme in the movie and tv series too. If your local pbs shows old tv shows watch out for the tv ones there. I remember an old show with a woman named Molly Goldberg I believe. Was it the Molly Goldberg show? The family was Jewish. Husband and wife with grown children. I can't remember the name of the show. Each show taught a life lesson and was marvelous. I REALLY wish you could get a tape of these shows too. Remember the Stew Erwin Show and The Life of Riley? Fun!! :) JodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-36838844968952251962009-05-20T14:00:35.112-04:002009-05-20T14:00:35.112-04:00I agree, Tracey needs to write a new book.

I am grateful for all the authors who have used their gifts to give us hours of comfort, inspiration, amusement! Thanks for compliling this.<br /><br />Someone mentioned the series I Remember Mama - the movie, based on the book was Mama's Bank Account. The tv series was all live so almost no film copies of these wonderful episodes remain.
