Remembering Noddy24, Always

Just read "Harry Potter" for the first time, was thinking of her throughout. I was dismissive of HP for a while, she brought me around. And reading it I could certainly see why she liked it.

all the books?

Nope, just the first one so far. Definitely want to read all of them now though. (Reading them with sozlet. At the same time as, not to.)

cool, i was a long time coming to the series too but really enjoyed them in the end, they do get darker (and longer) as the series progresses

absent friends...

and so it goes

Holding Dominion

I read the first 3 1/2 books. Loved the series, but did not want to invest the time to finish them all. I wish these books had been available to me as a kid.

from Frank Apisa's NYC gathering thread...

Thank you for popping the thread back up. At least half the time (maybe more) I think of Noddy when I'm on here.

yeah, me too Sturgis.

I miss her.

It's hard to believe it's been 3 years.

... and thanks to Region as well for posting that link (those pics remind my of a wonderful week, 'creative' talks and some 'adventures')

Dominion being held--more or less, give or take.

And that brings back memories that Penny joined us during that week as well, like here in the restaurant, you'd chosen, Roberta ...

That hamster travels almost as much as c.i.

Thanks for reminding me, Walter.

10 years on... and remembering Noddy always...

Never forgotten, she would be proud of us all who are holding our dominion.

Whenever we see the moon, our thoughts are for the wonderful and incredible lady that was Noddy. So missed xx

Thank you so much for reviving this topic. I went in and fixed any link I could in the opening post. Don't know what happened to that photo, though.

I'm FB friends with D__ and L___. <3 I think Jill would have liked that.

Every time I do my hair a very particular way I am reminded of Miss J. She was fun to adventurate with in NYC.

D is very much her boy. Sometimes he posts things on FB and I think J would have cracked up at that.

part of her life during that first marriage was lived in Manhattan.

During one of our adventures, we took the Staten Island Ferry with our friend the Empress Eugenie. J told us that her first husband didn't allow her to do any tourist things while they lived in New York. He didn't like that it would make them seem like hicks.

Well, damn, we hicked it right up on a couple of those trips. We did touristy things and J revelled in them. It was a joy to share those times with her.

One of the best New York trip moments happened at Lola and Bernie's apartment during a truly wonderful get-together.

A few arrangements were made ahead of time, I brought my phone card and made a call from the bedroom. Brought the phone out and handed it to J.



the moment Noddy realized it was dlowan on the line ... from Australia.

being a tourist gal with Frank Apisa, approaching The Frying Pan



Noddy had quite the dashiki wardrobe

Noddy's post describing our first afternoon together still makes me laugh

such vivid memories of all of that

Still remember her and her being so welcoming when I arrived at this site. She was a treasure and big part of this place.

She helped me a lot, and I'll always remember those days in NYC.
