Today Would Have Been…
Posted by mimi on Oct 2, 2005 in dish | 0 comments…my grandfather’s 97th birthday. He was a small town doctor in South Carolina, the kind of man you could call on the phone for a diagnosis. One time he told me he hoped I would write a great story. He said, “like Gone With the Wind, something people would enjoy.”
This is for sure: she won’t be in hoop skirts and it won’t be set in the Civil War and Lord knows it won’t be hearkening back to the dear old, misguided “Southland,” but maybe it’ll be a good story anyway.
I’m working on it, Granddaddy. I’m working on it.
