Thanks
:-)
Just had to
think of when I was younger we had this series on tv, little house on the
prairie, you probably know it too, and there was this mean girl also called
Nellie, so back then I wasn't too happy with that name.
Good to hear
that my name brings back good memories to someone.
Just shows
that often it is just a little something that makes us happy.
Nellie

Nellie, I just wanted to let you know that it gives me
pleasure every time I see your name in an email. I know it seems silly
but my grandmother (father's side) died when I was about 6 and her Name was
Nellie. My only memory of her was visiting her at a nursing home &
seeing old people rock in rocking chairs in the front porch. I have a
few pictures & I do resemble her a little. My siblings & I have
always loved the name Nellie & have given it to many a doll & a few
cats. We can't go over a bumpy road or down a hilly road without a "whoa
Nellie" coming out of our mouths. Sometimes it turns into a "whoa
bellies" if it's a really good hill & you feel like you left your belly
somewhere behind. There aren't currently any Nellies residing in any of
our homes except maybe a toy or two so I thought I would let you know that I!
am borrowing you for a little "goofy" nostalgic pleasure. It's just like
when I am in the grocery store & I pass a display of Hyacinths & that
sweet smell jumps out & grabs me. I am instantly back to being a
little kid on Easter morning digging into my Easter basket. Someone
always gave my mother potted hyacinths, tulips & daffodils for Easter
& she would display them among the Easter baskets (5 kids-5
baskets). I can't smell that wonderful sweet aroma without envisioning a
chocolate bunny. My DH thinks I'm nuts & my younger DS said that if
I sniffed the flowers in the store any harder there wasn't going to be any
"sniff" left for the person that bought it. He was afraid the store
would charge me. LOL Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that
there was a goofy lady out there that was deriving pleasure just from seeing
your name in print.
Oinkingly yours,
Debbie in
Delaware
P.S. I told my sister about your name & she had a moment
of excitement also. Her sweet "Nellie" the kitty died a few years
ago.
