What detailed memories you have of childhood. You know the things that affected you directly, but also appear to remember what happened to others in your family, immediate, extended, and pets! The photos add a lot.

Thanks for the privilege of taking a look inside your memories!

    Thanks new friend, pretty sure. I promise to reciprocate and check your stuff out. This is a re-edit and re-edit again before I finally go to Self-Publishing. Might even have to add some new suggestions from this recent trip. I added a new chapter at the beginning if you have not seen that the "Introduction" but I have a feeling there are no rewards on it now.

You have a vivid memory of your childhood and it shows in your biographical account. The old photographs made your story factual and the facets of history in your biography made reading enjoyable and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, another new friend. This is another re-edit due to some mess ups with Grammarly whom is not to be trusted some of the time. I added a new chapter to this for an Introduction if you care to go back through. Sorry, the rewards may have run out by now. Will try to reciprocate and check your stuff out as we have time.

Sankey, loved the made up words that communicated quite well. Great touches of down home humor that is appreciated by many. Very enjoyable read. :0 GracieAnn

More of your lovely childhood. Memories are the sweetest things we own. I expect that writing all this down has brought up all kinds of memories you may have thought you had forgotten, I think everyone should do this for their children.

    Yeah you are right. I had written a lot of this down before I joined FS over a year ago now and even after getting it on here more still keeps coming back. Thanks for your review.

Sankey: All of us have our own memories but it is so delightful to read about another person's memories. It helps us to understand why a person is who he/she is when you know how he grew up. Good writing with gobs of your personality, warmth and humor sprinkled throughout. livelylinda

Great storytelling. Enjoyed this.

It has taken me almost -- Move back one spot.

the age of Sixty, to figure something out! ... -- A little awkward to use ellipsis and exclamation point together.

All these alterations and conversions were able to be let out for more income for our living expenses -- Move back one spot.

I stayed with Miss. Y., for 2 years. -- Delete comma.

medium sized -- medium-sized

teen-age -- One word.

Sadly, some tenants we had, also owned a funny looking long haired wolf kind of dog -- Delete second comma. Also, 'long-haired'

back.Anyway, poor Pinny, caught the disease off the dog. -- Need space after period.

I felt it's bite. -- its (possessive)

As the narrator said on the old 'Trains' Record ...... -- Keep it to three or four dots for an ellipsis.

    Hi friend. Not sure we met before. Appreciate the advice. The continual frustration of commas and its etc etc hehe! Nice of you to take the time. Trying to move some pictures around in later chapters they are in the wrong places a lot of changes have happened not sure you have been through here before. Will let you know when I have done the 'fixes.' Will try and check your stuff eventually. Thanks again.

I am currently going through a total reorganization of my autobiography we are up to chapter 7 with the new versions so far stick with us ok! We reset everything in a more sequential order as to when stuff was going on so if you came through a while ago you will notice a lot of change. Cheers and thanks again.

    I have been knee deep in the story Choctaw. My editor is wanting me to finish for publication. I will try and check your write out but be patient with me.
reply by the author on 18-Sep-2014
    OK thanks will see if I can find that story and look at it I may have missed it before if it is still on FS?

    My profile has the write. The feature page is showing the last post now, I have so many that wishes that I continue posting the write. so I suppose I will. Not sure what a publisher will say about it but if I see money and contract then I will stop. Appreciate you.

Once all the editing is done, it is time to check it over. Guess what? More editing. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words. Good job.

More on my early days The Little Dog That Wouldn't Let Go
The Ups and Downs Of My Puppy Days.' Childhood capers are always very interesting and the stronger things went wrong the better we liked it. Well done.
