(The French are mad for Bessie.) I like to hear Bessie's voice when I'm cooking because it's so cheerful in my kitchen to have her there with me. She had so much pain in her life, but her voice has such positive energy.Joyce Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118325396178171635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23668207.post-88314772298386589372012-02-06T08:51:44.431-05:002012-02-06T08:51:44.431-05:00I love this story.
