Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your stories.  It is the first thing I look for in the Community Voices. I am sure I missed your first ones because I don t know who Laura is.  My guess is that you were taken in as a child by her and husband. It sounds like it was the kinda of childhood that I  always wanted. Your stories are so down to earth and I use a lot of your  tips for the garden etc. Keep it up  and the next time I see you in the IGA in Sundridge I am going to speak to you and maybe get your autograph.  That way I will have it before your autobiography comes out.  Be well       Pamela
