Because you're right, I think, to note that the impulse to write daily life is strong and important.

You are right of course, documenting our lives is part of the fabric of being a woman it seems.<BR/><BR/>When my mother-in-law talks of making soap or cheese by hand...I try to stop my own pity party over how tired or stressed I am.<BR/><BR/>It is important though to record our lives because for one thing it matters to us. It matters to our family and to us, a lot.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-63960192970263142672007-07-15T19:06:00.000-05:002007-07-15T19:06:00.000-05:00What a beautiful post!

I wish we could have made more spontaneous stops on our road trip, but it was more of a "let's just get there as soon as we can" kind of trip!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-74470888744080825742007-07-15T11:45:00.000-05:002007-07-15T11:45:00.000-05:00Go East Midwest Beach Girl...Go EAST!!! :-)Go East Midwest Beach Girl...Go EAST!!! :-)Melanie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01542313652003967176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2845194771436706462.post-30674008155266832992007-07-15T11:21:00.000-05:002007-07-15T11:21:00.000-05:00I love it.

I have always thought about stopping there, too, but as we have all made note, it's not something to enjoy with small kids in tow. Maybe in September when we go to Kearney....
