A Little Touch of History

Thu, 04/11/2024 - 12:00am

Recently, my granddaughter subscribed to an on-line book publisher. She gave the subscription to me for Christmas, and asked me to write my personal story this year. I am such an individualist that I really did not like the way the computer program was laid out. As I thought about it, I suggested that since I wrote my story in 2001 why not just make copies, and add my story from 2001 to present day? She was in agreement, specifying that she wanted 3 copies for her children.
