Cool! Natasha Trethewey did a reading from her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Native Guard at the school last evening. It was very enjoyable. Natasha Trethewey. Native Guard. Make methinks I need to get started writing again. Been too busy lately. Maybe summer will prove to have enough time.

When I was a child I had a big book that had a really large number of stories in it, but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it. I just loved to read from that book. Since I learned to read at a very young age, Mother use to tell me that at times she would have to almost take the book away from me to get me to eat dinner. I still have a strong love of reading. The only reading of books or long articles that I do in which I do not have a hard copy is when I do the CEs for my nursing license renewals. Guess I am really old fashioned, but I love the feel and smell of books. I'll try to dig my toy box out of the closet in the spare bedroom and see if the book is in there. Most of my books were lost when our house burned in '60. If it's there, I let you know the name of it. Mary

It is my second year trying to grow nemesia poetry from seeds, nothing showed so far. Where can I get information on this subject?

Evening All! It was the same here, Tuesday, Margo, overcast and windy but the wind wasn't bitterly cold, which was a welcome change. My mini daffs are starting to bloom! The crocuses are still going strong. And I too am still tired. Bummer! I was reading back thro the posts on this thread and way back at the beginning of this swap, I promised to keep the Robin's flight plan posted. You may have noticed, I haven't done that! So here it is, a little late, and I'll try my best to keep it updated! I sent to Peggy in Washington; Peggy sent it on to Heidi in Nebraska; Heidi mailed it on to Annie in California; Annie mailed it to Ruth in Texas; Ruth sent it flying to Melinda in Arkansas; Melinda just sent it to Diane/Moonfire; Diane sends it to Jeanne/sandlapper_rose in South Carolina; Jeanne sends it to Alana/poisondartfrog in Kentucky; Alana sends it to Robin in Virginia; Robin sends it to Vina/flowergirl134 in New York; Vina sends it to Janine/Jaynine in Connecticut; Janine sends it to Suzanne/hibiscusfan in Ohio; Suzanne sends it to Margo/smitties in Ohio; and Margo will send it to Katie in Mississippi, who will send the completed poem back to me! Hope I didn't skip anyone! Have a great day tomorrow! Shirley!
