Anita,
I check out your website regularly and enjoy all your posts. I forwarded web addewss to my daughter as she is an aspiring writer. I’m fascinated by the novel and really enjoy viewing the photos. I know you will be successful and getting this fabulous novel published and I am looking forward to having a copy of the book.

Anita,
Reading your posts and blogs from your website is so soothing and brings back many memories of home. I to grew up in Albany on the opposite sides of the river in Washington Homes. Every time that we would go across the old bridge with my great granny in the car she would proudly reminds us that our great grandaddy helped build this bridge, lol. Oh the sweet memories of growing up in Shiloh, selling the Southwest Georgian newspaper, and the lively traffic of downtown and the Trailways bus station are a part of me that I will always cherish. I’m living in SC now and there is no place like home.

You are making my day, Cousin Gina! I thin it’s great that you are taking to carving monkeys! Keep up the legacy left by your dad, Paul! Anita “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” —Aristotle
