MY STORY

4/5/2024

This book about my life took two years to finally get done - mainly dealing with the photos within. It begins with me growing up and ends with my gravestone sitting in Iowa. The book mentions treasured events and touches upon every stage I have lived through. There are only a few chapters devoted to life in Maine as it would take another two books to tell of all the experiences devoted to living on the east coast.

The book only has snippets of important things I experienced, thought about, had fun doing and my family. I ordered two black and white copies to see how they turned out and was pleased with the results.

The colored copies went to my sister and brother - and Leon's kids. I have enjoyed every step of my life - the positives and negatives. For they both have led me down paths that made me grow
into the person I am today.

This book was finally complete after proofreading 20 times and there are still errors in it. If you want to write your own book, look up StoryWorth and read about it. They have pages of questions and answers about your writing that will help you decide. These 357 pages were worth the cost to me.

Makes one think about the life you have led when doing such a book. Many photos and thoughts and remembrances went into writing it. Thanks so much for your kind your words.

Barb - I love that you wrote your story. And I'm thrilled that you will rest in Iowa, even though I know how much you have treasured your time in Maine.

A book is on the way to you, Linda. So have someone be checking your mailbox if you are in the hospital. Lots of those stories are what was written when you, Penny and I were busy putting together a chapter a week.
