If nothing else, write them down for your kids and your grandkids. I love reading stories about peoples' lives. The truth, for me, is more interesting than fiction. Some people keep an emotional distance from the things that they have experienced and that kills the writing. You don't. I can see the scenes in my head. You share your emotions.Your human-ness is palpable.elizabeth vallarinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341205905546636329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468322635677076272.post-91667761352759065172010-08-27T12:39:46.654-04:002010-08-27T12:39:46.654-04:00When I was a kid we used to go camping and my step...When I was a kid we used to go camping and my step mom would have me and my sister stand in a big washtub and pour warm water over us.
