And really, I must thank you for the inspiration.<br /><br />I did have to call my mother, well I didn't but I decided to, which was good, because I had a few facts mixed up about the trolly conductor. Apparently there's also a great story about what she did to the man who tried to serve her divorce papers... :}Cathryn Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816869021658935999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357323246672613644.post-69802937813706467692012-03-15T17:11:28.838-04:002012-03-15T17:11:28.838-04:00This is great Cathryn!

I fixed that to anecdote. thank you for spotting it (and pointing out the what I had written, makes it easier to avoid in the future). :}<br /><br />I wish I'd gotten more stories out of my Grand mother and great-grand mother in the time I knew them. Most of the time when we went to my grate-mother's house I was out back checking out the horse and pigs and rabbits.

I didn't even mention Nana sam, whose wedding band I wear, or Nellie, the woman who funded the homestead.<br /><br />I highly recommend doing interviews with them when you can. Both the men and women. You never know what you might dredge up. I found a few I did with my Cathryn Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816869021658935999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357323246672613644.post-57863476331517758922012-03-15T09:47:00.320-04:002012-03-15T09:47:00.320-04:00I think you mean you can give us anecdotes, not an...I think you mean you can give us anecdotes, not antidotes - she doesn't sound like poison!<br /><br />They sound wonderful.

Hehe, I totally see where Haddie B came from - and a good thing too, it'd be a shame to have known such an incredible person and not given her some space in a book, eh?<br /><br />I don't know quite how adventurous mine were - my great-aunt and grandmother were evacuated to a castle during the Second WorldCharley Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542608515324640174noreply@blogger.com
