Love your poetry too, and encourage you to (nudge, nudge) to do something with your other writing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in reading it! Sherry thanks for bringing this to us.

I loved the poem you wrote about your Fourth of July experience. It reminded me of my own childhood and that universality is seen in all of your poetry. How exciting to be related to one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence!! I have never lived in Texas, but where you live sounds like a lot of fun! Definitely, you should get that memoir out of storage and send it out! Getting past the initial fear is difficult, but remember you want everyone to see your words. I think you have such a lyrical style you will be surprised how many will want to read it. Just dust it off and send it.:)Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-34449663534198562792012-03-30T10:08:21.189-04:002012-03-30T10:08:21.189-04:00Laurie and Sherry,

My daughter and her husband just flew to San Antonio (she's a financial advisor and qualified for a conference at a pretty swishy ranch there ...) but her big coup (imo) is, she won tickets in the draw for the final 4 in New Orleans (her husband went through university on basketball scholarships and has been a coach as well so this was an extra-special birthday gift) ... anyhow, they are touring your fair state, then driving to the Big Easy ... so cool<br />Sorry to go off on a tangent ... just seemed to big a coincidence not to mention ... but, am thrilled that Sherry did her usual wonderful interviewing job and I got to know you a little better and I, like others,am hoping to read your memoir!S.E.Ingrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135141369161538082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-63857767491769811552012-03-29T19:03:57.306-04:002012-03-29T19:03:57.306-04:00Wonderful interview Sherry ~ Laurie, you are so...Wonderful interview Sherry ~ Laurie, you are so talented.

In fact, I wish EVERYONE would write a memoir. We could read THOSE instead of the interviews. Hee hee. Abin, I love being considered a godmother or guardian angel.
