Dear Folks, I don't want to belabor you with my ongoing book project but this evening I continued to surprise me. Every time I doubted whether I had edited a story properly or put the stories in the right sequence, I was amazed at what a meticulous job I had done so far. It really shouldn't surprise me because I'm a perfectionist and even though I'm certain that there are errors in my stories, I'm not that much of a perfectionist to go back and re-edit everything once again. I'm still slogging away and I'm up to page 271in my overall manscript. However, I estimate that I'm more than half way through and my book that should fit comfortably in two volumes (printed out double sided). Forgive me for patting myself on the back tonight, but I become more pleased with envisioning the entire book and how it will interest my family and those of you who have shown an interest in it. Not only that, but I look forward to having a copy of the book for myself and reading it from front to back. I've never had that opportunity to learn so much about my life and my thoughts. I've had only scattered bits and pieces of it in my memory. I'm so glad I wrote the stories when I did and glad I decided to put them all together in a book to share with others. vee
