Dear Vee & Group: I know how it is sometimes, life just gets in the way! Vee, I do forgive you for not responding earlier, this time, anyway! <grin> I remember when I was transcribing Phoebe's diary of 1857, and you and the other listers helped me on some words I didn't understand, as well as where Coomer's Corners was. I was so grateful and still am because it gave me a sense of where Phoebe and her family lived. I do have all three diaries scanned and burned on a CD as well as hard copy. I don't have Phoebe's third and final diary typed out yet, but I can get that done this weekend. I would love to be able to post Phoebe's diaries on our list, but don't know what would be the best way to go about it. I probably would do it in chapters as Vee suggested. The diaries are fascinating reading, and sometimes they leave more questions than answers, but the diaries give us an idea of how our ancestors lived. Through Phoebe's 1857 diary, we found that Phoebe had a sister, Fanny, that was adopted, and I also have some family letters that Fanny wrote herself. These were given to me on a CD by a cousin who is descended from Phoebe's brother, William Fitzer Williams (the Captain.) Anyway, I would be honored to post Phoebe's diaries on our list! Kim P.S. Vee, I had my weekly checkup and the doc is 100% sure that he got everything, and that I'm healing well, is that a great prognosis or what?!

Oh Dear Kim, I'm so pleased that you're up to posting the "chapters" of Phoebe's diary of 1857. What I'd suggest is first to just copy the first four pages of the transcription off your word processing program and paste them into an email to our list. If it shows up a bit goofy on the list, I'll be able to help you fix whatever problem there is. And from there you're off and running! You added at the end of your message, "I had my weekly checkup and the doc is 100% sure that he got everything, and that I'm healing well, is that a great prognosis or what?!" Well let me tell you you're talking my language. The most AWFUL four words I've ever heard in my entire life were, "You've got breast cancer." But the most WONDERFUL four words I've ever heard in my life were, "You're free of cancer!" vee
