Wonderful evocative memories of times past. ...Jill,<br />Wonderful evocative memories of times past. I remember Vim! It was so cruel to the hands but tough on that ring around the bath! I'm adding my voice to the many who urge you to get this published somehow. Your illustrations are of such quality they deserve to be seen. I hope you intend to sell prints of them in your Etsy shop?

This was a lovely post! As kids we used to stay with some relatives on a farm who had a bug sprayer like that and fly strips hanging everywhere (had a few dairy cows). Lots of linoleum everywhere and on the grimy side. They had an outhouse, pump, and lamps. I loved staying with Bill and Helen! They were the kindest, most loving people. But I remember as a teenager being embarrassed for Helen when she came to a wedding with black ladies mustache and nylons plastering her long black hair to her legs. But she wasn't. She was very comfortable with herself and that made a big impression on me. She was an angel! Thanks for my memories, too. :) This was great! You could make a book!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-4254060678366331142010-08-25T21:56:11.439+01:002010-08-25T21:56:11.439+01:00I just love your illustrations and memory drawings...I just love your illustrations and memory drawings!Kathryn Zbrzeznyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349204621261800313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-70001992349581834272010-08-25T21:30:44.958+01:002010-08-25T21:30:44.958+01:00Jill, I love reading these memories - its like a b...Jill, I love reading these memories - its like a book I want to keep turning the pages of!<br />Your drawings are amazing - you really need to consider trying to get this published!<br />x xSandra Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310328823168871260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-30425121569028680812010-08-25T21:17:35.677+01:002010-08-25T21:17:35.677+01:00Your writing and drawings are both treasures.

I have been writing about daily living cooking, washing, etc for my memoirs this afternoon and it is so like what you have written here! Tell me how to you get your pages onto blogger? I am still at the stage of being able to add a photo to text but that is all you seem to have got your pages full size so that we can read the text?
