Every day a new image or story pops into my head, not many of them pure bliss, but there they are, lining up for putting into words. Mine are not for private consumption.<br />There's nobody left of that generation and I have no siblings; good, I can say what I want to say.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-77471732793876930542012-01-30T23:08:32.685-03:302012-01-30T23:08:32.685-03:30this is very good stuff. keep going. i'd lik...this is very good stuff. keep going. i'd like to do the same with my mother, but my mother is pathologically private. she doesn't even want me to tell anyone that i have a mother.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-22542499282710831302012-01-30T17:22:02.837-03:302012-01-30T17:22:02.837-03:30I seriously love that you are doing this. xoI seriously love that you are doing this. xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956614259563861254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-90635109499558020662012-01-30T14:40:01.110-03:302012-01-30T14:40:01.110-03:30i hope you do it. write the memoir.

Word would filter through when the 'Tans' were doing house searches - nasty creatures they were. Granny would remove all the sovereigns from the cash drawer, call mammy and hand her the coins and tell her to put them into her pocket and keep her hands on then so as not to make noise.Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-54845605172758284452012-01-29T15:01:18.788-03:302012-01-29T15:01:18.788-03:30Consder yourself blessed that you have such fond m...Consder yourself blessed that you have such fond memories of your mother and the interest to want to write down her life story.
