But I love your blog and it sounds like you have had great adventures in your life. Writing is not my best quality. I learned that while working on my masters degree and will continue to work on that with my PhD. I wish you well and will continue to visit your log.

I like creating things and those present cakes were in my head and had to come out - perfect or not. Your writing seems to be very open and really about your thoughts. My story is similar but different from yours. I am from Iowa, met a man in Europe who was from West Virginia, so we came here to live. It has been an experience. I love to travel and have seen most of the states, most of Europe, and am hoping to visit the rest of the world. I work with people who do not understand leaving their neighborhood and dwell on the local history as if it were important to the rest of the world. They ask why I want to travel. I ask why they don't. But then knowing enough about Rock and Iaeger and the places in between I expect you have had the same conversations. Good Luck out there! Thanks for the visit.

Loads of talent. Brings back the "Good Ole' Days". Of creeks trickling, robins singing, the smell of honeysuckle sweet, and on a quiet night you can almost hear the moon rise over the blueridge mountains. Thanks for the memories. Tell Debbie The woman in white is lost and wants to go go home, taken form this world too soon. She does not understand it it time to go on. And by the way some kids pee on you when you spend the night with them :) Great! Loads of talent. Brings back the “Good Ole’ Days”.

Where two little girls played, dreamed and grew, one brunette the other blonde like you. Where everyone feared the woman in white, where we whispered and peaked out our window on star lit nights, wanting to see her and scared with fright that we might. Others had seen her and lived to tell....of the lonely woman, in white who walks the trail. No one knows where she's going or where she's been. If she walked the hills searching or repenting from some mortal sin. We're grown today with families of our own, and yet on starry nights when we hear the song of the whipperwill, we wonder back down the dusty lanes of time and wonder.....Will we see her tonight, do you think we will?

Then I googled "where I'm from" and looked at what a few others have done with it. http://donna-justme.blogspot.com/2007/01/where-im-from.html This comment will probably get lost in the shuffle, since this is an older entry of yours.

Now I'm about to teach the idea to senior citizens in an assisted living community. I'm looking forward to that. http://writingfromthehip.blogspot.com/2006/02/adventures-where-im-from.html I enjoyed your poem. Thank you. I posted one, too, about a year ago. Link below.
