Glad you liked it-I use Free Republic as a vehicle to write personal anecdotes about my life that I suspect I am beginning to forget as I grow older! I have saved them all in a folder on my computer.

LOL, that hard drive will likely simply be reformatted when I am gone to store images of someone's cats...heck, mine are on there somewhere!

Nice kitties!

“I have saved them all in a folder on my computer. LOL, that hard drive will likely simply be reformatted when I am gone”

You raise a good point. My grandfather was a WW I POW — on the German side! He wrote 20 pages of memoirs late in his life about his experience being a Russian POW and how he escaped. Pretty amazing stuff. Most of our lives are rather humdrum compared to that, but we still have great stories our kids like hearing. I’m always telling my kids various stories they have not heard before.

You should think about taking the time to gather up all your stories and stitch them together into your own memoir. Your family would really appreciate that. Maybe even the cats if you read it to them!

You’re a good writer and could make a funny and engaging life story, I’m sure.
