I have an almost 4th grade granddaughter who reads everything she can get her hands on, so I'll steer her toward this story. ;-)Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-2379028374911769342014-05-12T10:33:48.511-05:002014-05-12T10:33:48.511-05:00Doris, it's too bad you don't still have t...Doris, it's too bad you don't still have the short stories. I would love to read them.<br /><br />Mom was an amazing woman. In her late 60's she was helping build my brother's house, including climbing on the roof shingling. Amazing lady. <br /><br />Thank you for coming over and commenting.Livia J Washburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958199886826207363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-34134246493350274162014-05-12T10:25:40.765-05:002014-05-12T10:25:40.765-05:00Thank you Sarah.

The hardest part of the chap books was figuring out which pages had to be on the same page front and back so when it was stapled and folded, it was in order. Wasted a lot of ink some days. I did have a great day, Thank you.Livia J Washburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958199886826207363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-48106616604921420982014-05-12T10:17:31.150-05:002014-05-12T10:17:31.150-05:00Thank you Kathleen.

We are very proud of them both. I had a wonderful day with my family.

I wrote a book of short stories for the class and like you printed it on the schools copy machine. <br />I don't know where it went, but my mother before she passed away in 2011 told me the teacher used that book until she retired. I tell you this for the story brought back such memories. Thank you.

Without them, most of us who write never would have taken up the craft.<br /><br />Thank goodness you found a copy of MOCKINGBIRD AND BIG EARL. I'm going to send a copy to my stepdaughter-in-law.
