Between the dog tossing the old one around whenever she goes out that door, and the cats dragging it here and there, it was a travesty on how much I love youse to keep using it! The new one is pure melamine!!!! With speckles!!!

I want to do some Hillsborough exploring while I visit the kids so I might be able to schedule and extra day in.... We'll talk over the summer and see how it pans out! <br /><br /><b>Laurel...</b> I love that my books kind of just followed your life! That rocks! Of course you know that Men of Allegany County was in Allegany County, but Kirkwood Lake is a fictional version of Chautauqua Lake. I gave it more hills than the real version, but other than that, it's my own take on that amazingly beautiful section of Western New York!

For almost all my working days, I did bookkeeping and accounting. Two dream jobs in one lifetime. A stay-at-home mom, I ran parts and did hubby's books for his repair business. Looking back I have so much to be thankful for, but I try always to look forward to see what today will bring.

My favorite job I guess would be the one I'm doing now working for a college. They just don't close for snow days which makes it hard to build a snowman. I much prefer what I do in my spare time: a freelance editor and writer. Only God knows where all this is going. Love your books, Ruthy! Would love to read this one.

I loved my time at home with my kids, too... and then Ol' Dave lost his job, we had six kids and I started working two jobs. Full time days, part-time nights... but I kept remembering how hard the immigrants and pioneers worked and I kept telling myself that if God gave them strength, he'd do the same for me. And he did!!! And now my life-long dream of being an author is the daily reality....

Amazing kids, amazing staff and in the town I grew up in, where my family still lives. I even got to teach my brother! Second was a local candy store specializing in goat milk fudge. 'Nuff said. I also really liked working at the information center at my college. I've had lots of great jobs.

For the young girl who devoured books, this was the ultimate job! Best wishes for continued happiness and success!<br />I don't need to be entered into the drawing because I just received one I won't earlier this week.<br />Blessings,<br />Connie<br /><br /> <br />Connie Porter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234596850866029756noreply@blogger.com
