Musical tastes are very subjective, very personal. Your tastes aren't my tastes, but I recognise the differentness you experienced, and your joy at finding, first, a partner in crime then, ultimately, a soulmate. Your writing made me smile and gave me a warm empathic glow.

What sweet words. Thank you for them. It is such a special thing to bond with someone who shares an uncommon interest. Thanks for reading and for finding yourself in my words. This is exactly why I write!!

How lovely is this story, both for the writing and content. I’m a sucker for a thrift store, too, and my husband knows me well enough to allow the indulgence when opportunity presents.

I love this! You two are lucky to have found each other. This was such a good read, well told. I enjoy finding treasures in thrift stores too (and in the Pine Barrens - do you ever explore there?) Anyway, hello from North Jersey. If you ever come my way, let me know -- I'll tell you where the finds are.

Thank you so much! I actually have a list of places I want to check out for treasure hunting in North Jersey, but I would welcome any recommendations you can give me. I am close to the Pine Barrens but can’t say I have explored them for thrifting. Maybe soon!
