Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
~ Pat Benatar
Boji (Okoboji) is my hometown. I love the area and am blessed to have wonderful friends that still live here. This weekend I will spend time with my friends and my dad in "The Lakes Area". Although I don't remember much of my childhood, I do remember driving around the lakes all summer playing Pat Benatar. A neighbor boy introduced me to her in junior high. Sing it with me, "Hit me with your best shot." What made me think about Pat Benatar today? A high school classmate owns a wonderful bookstore. When I messaged her to find out if she had the sequel to The Sparrow, she asked if I had read Pat Benatar's memoir, Between a Heart and a Rock place. She remembered driving around in my car blasting Pat Benatar. Of course when I went to pick up Children of God (The Sparrow sequel), she was kind enough to give me a copy of the Benatar memoir. Life is good, and speaking of life being good, since my dad's internet is done, I'm sitting at Hey, Good Cookies using their internet, eating a monster cookie, and watching the baby birds who have nested outside. I wish they would pop up more often.
B is for 'Boji
