I feel sad for those who do not read or can't due to learning problems or illiteracy, or who maybe can't afford to purchase books or magazines.<BR/><BR/>I ALWAYS tell people to utilize the LIBRARY more. I need to do the same...although I do go. I may go today even! HA!<BR/><BR/>I read so much as a small child and as a teenager it WAS a form of escape from being raised by the wolves if you know what I mean. Now I read for knowledge and research and pleasure.<BR/><BR/>I do agree with who ever said this in their comment......."you are a great story teller."<BR/>I say though....that you need to submit your writings somewhere.<BR/>See ya!<BR/>JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084633824923415576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-45530897440376531842009-02-21T10:27:00.000-06:002009-02-21T10:27:00.000-06:00An awesome post, Julie.An awesome post, Julie.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071236024242050143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-34085406860857992242009-02-20T21:10:00.000-06:002009-02-20T21:10:00.000-06:00Me again - thank YOU for also giving me a boost Ju...Me again - thank YOU for also giving me a boost Julie!<BR/>In answer to your questions -<BR/>Yes, sweet Mary Rose did make my new banner - she is such a talented lady. <BR/><BR/>No,never had anything published in a shelter mag. which is fine - just like to have a neat, pretty home and use some of that pent up creativity by decorating and photographing!<BR/><BR/>I sincerely do hope you will get some relief soon - I know that with cold weather and the long Winter, not feeling well or being able to get about easily must be depressing.

Please write a book of short stories - or a novel - so we can have your words bound in leather or linen (or whatever they use these days), to place upon a shelf and tell friends, "I know this wonderful author".<BR/><BR/>You were the best type of student - focused from a young, impressionable age......and determined enough to make something of yourself despite little encouragement from the adults in your life. <BR/>Brava, brava, great lady!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Hugs - Mary (ACROSS THE POND)<BR/><BR/>P.S.

We were not allowed books in our house when we were growing up - when we entered public school (at 4th grade) I was stunned by the library - couldn't wait to read all the books - but our family did not bring home library books. I had to do all my reading at school and I would rush through my work to get to my books - especially loved the hour a week we spent in the library. Finally when I was 7th grade I was allowed one book a summer - and you guessed it - War and Peace, because it was the biggest book I could find. Hard reading for a 7th grader - but I made lists and charts and got through it. <BR/><BR/>Now I read constantly - and our kids do too - they were taught to love and enjoy books, music and art. Thank you for the fabulous post.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-13261156985531816902009-02-17T14:24:00.000-06:002009-02-17T14:24:00.000-06:00I love his works of art.

And without knowing it I selected the master bedroom for part of the story of Ruth. I found it and saw the fact that it looked sad and empty. I hope it works in the story.<BR/>You and I have some things in common. Education was not honored in my bring up. It just didn't matter to my parents. So the three R's were not important to me until I was married. I have always loved history. I went to Jr. College for a short time. Took classes in design, because I loved making things that were ugly pretty. Making something from almost nothing, seeing art in junk seemed to be my thing. I think that is why we bought this house, it was old and needed our care.<BR/> Love what you do dear friend, MaryShopgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300376153887292794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-44488055122132898412009-02-17T06:57:00.000-06:002009-02-17T06:57:00.000-06:00Your story is amazing - it's sad that many people ...Your story is amazing - it's sad that many people would use the lack of educational programs as an excuse - you took them as a challenge and rose above them - good for you!
