Farm Girl is now on sale, for the first time since it was released in 2007! Anyone who wants to take advantage of this price go to the WiDo website and scroll down until you see the Farm Girl cover. The sale price of $5.95 is available through Paypal.
And while you are waiting for your copy to arrive in the mail, you can get the tone and feel of the book by watching the Farm Girl You Tube video, featuring the music of Johnny Cash and Fiona Apple. And if you like it, I do hope you will leave a comment on the You Tube site :)
Enjoy!

Saving Precious Memories
I started this blog as a means of encouraging people to save and record their personal and family histories, although I mostly just ramble on about my soup, my walks, my basement, my dogs....
My 93-year-old mom, the subject of Farm Girl, suffered a stroke two weeks ago, and I thank God every day that she and I were able to put this book together back when she was in full health. This was at age 90, mind you.
A lady who heard me speak at a library, said regretfully, "I thought I'd have more time." I am so grateful that I don't have those regrets, but if Mother hadn't lived such a long, active life, I might be saying the same thing: "I thought I'd have more time."
What's the best way to record our own, our parents or grandparents' stories? Just make it a priority and do it. There is no right or wrong method, no secret formula. However, it's one of those things that too easily gets procrastinated regardless of the best intentions. Don't put it off until it's too late-- record those precious memories that will be treasured by many.
