I could easily write paragraphs about you, Pat! You are such a wonderful, talented and creative woman who has blessed the Lowcountry with your giving spirit. Cooking, lecturing, offering help with creative writing and simply being so kind along the way. You have gifted me with your friendship although we live in Germany for half of the year (where we are until spring)❣️ Simply put, I cannot thank you enough for the joy you have gifted to me 🩷🩷🩷!!

Good Monday morning, Pat. Greetings to someone who was a sweet part of my former life.

I read your thoughts each time they pop up, and I can relate to so many of them. We share many similar feelings as women who have climbed many ladders on our way to where we are now: sitting back more and just thinking of endless parts of our blessed lives. Thank you for being so honest and telling of your realizations as a retired professional. Many never stop being fully consumed with what they have, who they hang out with, and how they look. We are not such women who can't find their happiness. You don't have to respond. You will, in your letters, to all of us who admire you and your love of beautiful things.
