A memoir

Lorie seems to think my recent blogging is going to lead to my writing a memoir.  Definition (loosely) of a memoir is it’s sort of like an autobiography.  Well, I think I agree with Will Rogers:  "Memoirs means when you put down the good things you ought to have done and leave out the bad ones you did do."  There’s a WHOLE LOT I wouldn’t put in writing.  I can just see it now.  Granddaughter Audrey sneaking up on a sleeping grandmother (me) with a glass of water in her hand to put my fingers into so she can find out all of my secrets.  At some point I would like to be able to print off the posts I have done, make a front and back cover with bright colored construction paper (like I did in third grade) and staple it to make it resemble a book. It’s a pain to scroll through the archives to try and find a post I did a couple of years ago.  I guess I could call it a memoir!

That's when you visit w/ family,(in person or over the phone) sit down w/a bottle (or two) and share your stories, good and bad... learning more of the loved ones in your life.
Keep blogging, your entries are enlightening & enjoyable. OOxo
