Introduction	Writing has become a passion for me, a way of sharing stories from everyday life as well as family memories and stories of ancestors who cared enough to record their thoughts and experiences. I have a strong interest in genealogy, and this is a way for me to be their voice and feel connected to them in another way. Having reached the age of 60+ I've learned to laugh at myself a lot more and appreciate the humor in everyday life, and most of the time I don't have to look very far. I hope to one day put together a book of these varied stories with added photos. That would be an immense source of pride for me, as well as something meaningful to leave behind for my family.
