She was great. One day a couple of years ago, I went on EBAY and bought as many Erma Bombeck books that I could find. It's weird cause I am not sure why I relate so much to her humor, because I was just a child in the 50's and wasn't the housewife that she was speaking to, but if I am ever a little down or bored, I pick up one of her paperbacks and read a couple of chapters. It always makes me feel better. She was my Tina Fey, or maybe Joan Rivers Light. Maybe it is that she died way too young, even though she was prolific, I am sure she would have a lot to say about life today. So here's to Erma, my friendly spirit up in my studio that keeps me laughing and trying to use all my talent.
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “ I used everything you gave me.””
