Been to all these towns you named in this chapter. Found no nits. Biographies are so interesting. Autobiographies even more so. This one holds interest throughout the entirity of the book.

    Thank you for reviewing this. I've gotten behind with my writing and I can't seem to catch up with the reviews. Sorry that one wasn't still active.

Another good and interesting story. Your details and story are so vivid. I am amazed at your memory that you are living in the moment. What I like most is that it is a real family everyday living, like not liking a boyfriend or finding themselves to be an answering service to the daughter's dates.
Thank you for the read.
Regards,
Mary

Another interesting installment on your life's story. Your kids never gave you guys a break as far as worrying about where they'd goof off next, did they? Had seven kids in 2 different generations and they were intensive mom/pop kids too.

    Thank you so much for a great review. This is the 140th one about my life starting with when I met my husband to be in high school. I've written a lot of other stories and poems.

You are doing a great job, Beth, chronicling your families' activities in these chapters. You give readers great details and personal reflections. You and your husband were attentive, forgiving, and always there for your kids. I commend you.
Respectfully, Jan

    Thank you, Jan. We loved our kids but we certainly weren't perfect parents. I wish we taught them more about how to be independant and become responsible adults. We did the best we could.

I don't know how you remember all the details and dates...Only the really dark moments are embedded in my brain... You do a wonderful job of pulling it all together.

Hugs, Carol

    Thank you so much Carol. My memory isn't perfect. I'm finding I someimes get things our of sequence. I'm relying on a faulty memory but you are creating from scratch, which has to be much harder.

You have one of those memories like a steal vault, once they get in, you never let them out. Good for you being about to keep all of these details to think back on and share with your family. I can't remember what happened yesterday, most of the time. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for the review and comments. I did keep journals off and on back then, so I sometimes find something to help back up my memory.

I am amazed at how you were able to deal with and keep track of your children's activities. I am laughing at the life sized dolls, yes it sounds a bit eery. Never a dull moment with all the relationships and the large amount of kids from camp at your house. Your interesting life continues well here.

This was, as usual, another good read. I think you have been gone a while? Well done, again. Only one area needs fixing, this time. Don was (a)strong(,) hard worker.

    Thank you for the review and comments. I guess it is as been 10 days since I put on a chapter but I put two poems on during the time with no chapter.

    Thank you so much for the review. I hope people realize no one is perfect and don't see use a more disfunctional than most. I am trying to keep it real, but some of it makes us look bad.
