A Review!

Ronni Bennett, author of As Time Goes By, invited her readers to review the blogs in her blogroll. A very nice person wrote the following review of mine. I've included the link, because I wouldn't want y'all to think I was just blowing my own horn here.

Thank you, Marion, for your very kind words!

Rants by Ronni
I chose this because I was curious to find out who the 'other' Ronni was and what sorts of things she wrote about. As soon as I began reading I was immediately drawn in to her world.
This Ronni,who calls herself 'The Scourge of the Internet' is just the sort of woman I enjoy knowing. Courageous, earthy, plain-speaking, calls a spade a spade. And funny, with it. So it didn't surprise me to discover that she's originally from the north of England, where folk are famous for their down-to-earth directness and wry humor.
Although her business is supplying costumes, Ronni wears no mask. Her blog is one of the most self-disclosing and fearless I have ever read.
Something truly awful happened in her life not long ago. And she kept blogging. She blogged her way through all the classic stages of grief – desolate one minute, furious the next. What an amazing chronicle of a crisis and the healing process that is now taking place. And what an amazing woman, to have shared it with the world, the way she has. Thank you – both Ronnis.

    She's one tough cookie with a heart so big and warm you'd have a hard time not liking her.

  7. That's our Ronni! Everything said by Marion is the absolute truth. Tough, sensitive, courageous, and as far from a "scourge" as one can get.

    ~hugs~ Ronni

    I feel a bit scourge-ish tonight, though!
