Your words here and in later replies are kind. Actually, three years ago I wrote of some of the happenings and distributed them widely here.
This year I realized another chapter is needed, and then want to print and bind them and send them to my three children and some of the older grandchildren.

However, my printer has for some time had a digestive problem, very often scarfing up more than one sheet and jamming - - ah, the frustrations of life!
That problem is somewhere in the Priority Pike to solve 'another day'..:))

It surely is vital we record some of the things in our lives for our progeny -- in my case, I last saw my mother in 1961 when I was just 27. The boys (6 & 7) and I had been visiting my parents in Florida and flew to South Dakota to join my husband - had a baby girl there 9 months later and then went directly to Fairbanks, Alaska for 3 1/2 years.

In January 1964, Mom was stricken with an aneurysm that burst...in the hospital on a Saturday before the scheduled Monday surgery to prevent it...she was rendered blind, unable to speak and paralyzed except for faint movement of her left hand, and died in July of 1965. No opportunity for stories in that interval, of course, nor to even hear her voice, or to see her.

Nan and sleuth - be sure you give your children an overview of your lives!
It's Something Everyone Should Do..:))

Now -- while TC has so much down time, don't you think we should him to start on HIS stories??!!

[any resemblance of the figures in the graphic to LadyX,
Nan the Nag and sleuth is purely coincidental..:)]

I'll need those notes Sistah. Unless you're going to get serious about putting the whole story together. It would be a labor of love for me to compile all your stories into a book.

As for my writing my own story, I seem to have a problem recalling any of it. I can recall most things since I was born again, but my life before has been blocked with exception of a few memories of time spent with my grandparents. Besides my life was not as exciting as yours.
