I enjoyed reading Mary Anne's short story. I'm an amatuer, but I recognize talent when I see it. Welcome to the forum Mary Anne.

Thank you, Hannelore! I have been writing (off and on) since I was 10 years old (and still wearing the chubby clothes!--OK. so maybe I still have to sometimes!) I am already feeling welcome here, and look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hi Meredith:

Cool jewelry! I just started making beaded jewelry early this summer, and just did my first craft show (I think my stuff did pretty well for a newbie). Are you a writer, too?

My Butterfly Year is strong, immediate, well-written and wonderfully heart warming. Kudos!

Beads can be addicting, aren't they? Glad your craft show went well.

Mary Anne is my favorite female name. If I had had a girl, I would've named her Mary Anne. I loved the story, Mary Anne. I wish I had loved school as much as you did. Glad you lost the weight! Glad you didn't join the "in" crowd.
In my high school the smart kids were good. The not so smart kids were the drinkers and smokers and gangbangers.
Again, loved the story!
