I'm sure it was a pain for the all the base personal though, but the point was made. Again, great post! MD Hello

I enjoyed reading this story again. As you can see from the comments above, I am not the only person to think you should have a blog. I wonder if yesterday would make you change your mind???

I am happy that you enjoyed reading it. I have many stories like that one. One of my sons (I have 4 children ) asked me a few years ago about an incident that happened in our family and as I related the story to him it occured to me that when I die all of our family stories will go with me. So, I decided to write them all down so my children and grandchildren(8) would have them. I have always thought that when an old person dies, it is like the library burnt down. Who else knows what Aunt Minnie's maiden name was? Or why Uncle Bob came to our house in the middle of the night once. There is a site called Elder Storytelling which is run by a wonderful and extremely intelligent woman named Ronni Bennett. She encourages people like myself to send her our stories and she publishes a different one daily. Visit her blog if you can and read the stories people like me send in. It's great fun.. Maybe you will end up sending Ronni a story yourself.. Magpie,

You know, with stories like that you should start some sort of blog if only to post stories.

You had the courage to start your own blog and it has been very successful with quite a few comments going back and forth. I especially admired the way you "Stuck with it" when photos or text failed to appear and there was no one to turn to for advice so you figured it out for yourself... That is very admirable ,and clever, I might add. Dear Darlene,

I have encouraged her to start her own blog because she is so funny, caring and just plain nice. Although I met Nancy through Ronni Bennett's blog, Time Goes By, I now receive e-mails from her and they are always goodies. Her sense of humor is the greatest. Nancy is wise and thoughtful. I felt such a special bond with her that I asked her for personal advice and she gave me good council. I have never met her in person, but I feel as close to her as I do my sister. Nancy is very "special people." I am surprised that you have known her for 40 years, Marie. What a blessing for both of you. I, too, consider Nancy a good friend.
