Project of Love for my Sisters

Over the past few years I have been writing the story of my childhood. This was a project about growing up with my three sisters. While writing my story, so many memories came flooding into my head.

At one point, I met with my sisters to have them tell me the things that they remembered about the years we spent as children. My husband bought me a very small tape recorder, (the size and shape of a cigarette lighter). We all sat down to the table and I placed the tape recorder in the middle of the table. This tape recorder was later downloaded to my computer as a file and I was able to listen to it when I began writing my story.

December 2009, I had my book printed by our local printing company and mailed copies of our story to all my sisters for Christmas.

I started thinking the other day that other family members might enjoy reading our story as well. That is when I talked to my husband about setting up my blog.

The following entries, over time, will be not only reflections of our past, but also entries about the present.

  2. Thank you Dawn for your encouraging words. I am looking forward to doing this and will probably tell the story of the trip to Texas in 2006---it was a Hoot.
