dimondites

Oh, Bonnie. Oh, Bonnie. Where would Dimondites.com be if you hadn’t mention this name in an email chain and that word caught my attention, while I was going crazy trying to find a name I liked for this idea I had of a neighborhood blog?

Is Dimondites the correct translation for a Dimond dweller? Dunno. I did think about it, and I even researched it (no results). I thought some more. Could it be Dimonese like in Chinese? Dimondish like in English?  Dimo?  Or even Di as in Thai? Personally, I think Dimondites is just great.

Even more enchanting was the subject of the email. I had asked people to name three words that best describes Dimond (I haven’t forgotten), and this was Bonnie’s email…

My three words:  People making progress.  

Dimond was always beautiful to me, and still is. Maybe Dimond is a diamond in the rough!  From old electric and telephone cables to new stores, it’s all part of the way Dimond has morphed during the past century.  I can’t wait to visit Farmer Joe’s.  I have old Dimondites (?) coming back to visit from Sweden in July, and they are anxious to revisit the “community” after 47 years.
