I started out by finding a picture online and describing what I remember about it...but then had lots of memories surrounding it's purchase and the summer I really played with it a lot. More emotions attached to it than I remembered at first. Thank you for the jump-start today!Emmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706753766860172168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569321493854013836.post-84132984432195458012011-06-19T20:45:17.786-04:002011-06-19T20:45:17.786-04:00I taped images of the Francie doll I had at about ...I taped images of the Francie doll I had at about age 7 into my notebook.

And I came here and fell in love with this blog just now. I am so nostalgic about childhood. That what is real discourse is one of my favorites although I don't think I heard it until I was older.bkbsmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244943409892583102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569321493854013836.post-53904919344013416482011-06-17T09:02:55.307-04:002011-06-17T09:02:55.307-04:00I love it when things like this happen.

Yesterday my one goal was to write a query letter. I hadn’t even heard of a query letter until Tuesday. I sit down to write it and decided to Google it, but first I of course have to check out my favorite sites. And what do I find? Your post on query letters. I spent all day Wednesday at a state conference on the common core. Pam Allyn was the key note speaker. What do I find on the TWT site? Stacey’s post about Pam Allyn. Last night I was sitting on the patio thinking about writing, and jotted down “Big Bear.” He was a favorite stuffed animal that was half my size, and a favorite gift from Santa. I didn’t get rid of him until after I was married (and only then because he was depleted of all stuffing, eyes, one ear, and his button nose). Coincidence? Karma? Kismet? Happenstance? Great minds think alike? Or just great timing? Whatever the reason; I’m loving this blog and am very grateful for you willingness to share your knowledge and insight. BUT I am having trouble “grabbing” your button. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
