Mom says "goodbye"

Thought: between 1968 & 1972 I was a hippie in L.A.. I hung out on sunset blvd. in Hollywood. Tourist would drive by & take pictures of us. Could I be in one of your mother or grandmothers photo albums? Just a thought.

I believe this is my last day posting for Phelan.

You know, I have been many things in my life. I have been a criminal & an upright citizen. A drug addict & clean. A Hippie, a biker. An atheist, a pastor. Married, divorced. A prisoner, a free person. The life of the party, a loner. A farmer, a city dweller. A counselor, a reporter. A deathly ill person, a healed person.

I have been many things. But, the thing that is most important to me, is that I am Phelan's mother. Out of my four children she is my favorite daughter.

I have had fun writing for her. I will miss you all. I have enjoyed your comments & wish you all the best.

You have been an awesome guest blogger... Stop by and say "hey" once in a while... :)

I always wanted to be a hippie... How cool is that...:)The only thing cooler than L.A.would have been San Francisco, Haight Ashbury and all that... ;)

Thanks for filling in. We really like your daughter and think she's awesome. I am sure the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Hey Anita,
I did live in San Francisco for about 6 moths in 1971. It was awesome.

Hey Mom, you've held the post in good stead. Welcome back, Phelan.

Thanks for filling in Mom. It's been great reading your stories. I hope you drop in again sometime.

No No my computer has been down and now you are leaving just as I catch up on your post. As far as guest bloggers go...well I think that Phelan is as multi faceted and unique as one person can be. It is obvious that she is a product of her upbringing. I hope that when my offspring grow up the reflection is just as glowing.

Hey Mom how about your own blog?

Heck, we may be in EACH OTHERS photo albums! I was a hippie in Goleta, CA., then moved to San Fran in '74. Never spent much time in L.A. though.
Enjoyed your posts! Looking forward to hearing from Phelan again! Take care!

I agree with the others-please post again sometime!

Your biography is almost a perfect match with mine except instead of being a hippie in California I hitch hiked around the country after the war. I get confused easy. Do you have your own blog?
