I started writing in earnest about five years ago after my Mom---living with me then---and myself went to a family reunion. There I was inspired by a cousin who had created a family genealogy notebook, complete with family stories. The genealogy didn't attract me so much; it was the family stories. I decided then to write our stories down, the ones we laugh at together over Thanksgiving dinner, even some of the ones that make us cry.

I sat Mom down in a comfy chair and myself at the computer. I asked questions, she gave answers. I am so grateful now that I did that. Mom died in January 2007.

It would be fun to be published, but I don't think that's what I'm really after. I want my kids to have lots of family memories and stories, funny or not; stories that can be passed down through the years, both in memory of my ancestors, and in memory of the person I am.

If a publisher likes what I write that will be the whipped cream on the pumpkin pie.

Many thanks to all of you on FanStory who have reviewed and read my creations. Hope you enjoyed the experience!
