For a short time in her teens one of our
youngest daughters put together a family
newsletter of sorts. Replete with poetry,
funny stories, daily complaints, mishaps,
or whatever caught her fancy. We eagerly
awaited each publication. Many times she
would include a poll or a short questionnaire.
She even taped a pencil tied to a string onto the
wall. Of course she hung it in the bathroom so
everyone read it. Including house guests! We
have had them rolled up for years and they
are full of treasures. The written word is like
that–full of treasures. A secret stash of memories.
