nosey neighbors

This collection is one of my favorites.  When asked where the inspiration came from, I like to tell a story about my Grandmother Lucille.  I was raised by her.  She knew everything that went on, both in my life and in the world, through her kitchen window.  I was also around some of her old lady friends from church from time to time.  I loved them as a group.  They were from all walks of life and their characters have continued to visit my consciousness as I've grown older.
