"Why I live at the P.O." is my all time favorite. Can not read it without bursting out laughing.

One of my very favorite authors since I was a teenager, a few decades ago. I hope to visit the Welty House and Garden sometime.

People don’t know she was a very cosmopolitan woman. I would love to be able to visit her home and garden!
