Comment: Your story was great! It left me wanting to find out more, which is what great stories are all about, I guess! Thanks for the extra story starters too.
Comment: This is the longest and best writing you've sent me. I like it and feel like it's actually a whole short story. Do you feel there's more? Thanks for the many extra starter ideas also. Strangely my other partner also had a "police" scene though, of course, quite different.
Comment: Thanks so much for your package Marie! I know it's not that easy to shop for men but my boyfriend was thrilled to get something in the mail and he loves both movies and chocolate so..it was just perfect! Thanks!
Comment: Thank you for so many great beginnings. I really enjoyed reading them and was tempted to start writing immediately but mowed the lawn instead :-(
Comment: Thanks for the interesting summaries - 6 books by Paulo Coelho and only one with a 5 rating. I think I will read that one and see what the draw is! Thanks for swapping!
Comment: You know, we are a lot alike! One thing, I hang my laundry year-round; inside on racks and outside on lines. Haven't had a drier in 13 years! Thanks for the goodies in the back pocket! Had a great time reading your journal!
Comment: Thank you for the detailed list and the tea. Of the books you suggested, I plan to read Robinson Crusoe and The Innocent Man. I listened to the The Great Gatsby on audio tape about a year ago. I like reading the classics in this way.
Comment: Thank you for sharing your lovely poetry with me! I was pretty nervous when I signed up for this swap, just because poetry is such a personal thing and you never know how someone else will respond to your poetry (at least that's how I feel about my poetry). So I really appreciate you sharing yours. And I sincerely enjoyed reading them, especially "The Unicorn!"
Comment: Thank you for the wonderful postcard, you wouldn't catch me rafting either but it sounds refreshing! I've always wanted to go to North Carolina - thank you. Happy swapping!
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful postcard of the Carolina moon. What a neat place, I'd love to visit there sometime. Happy Swapping to You! : ) ~*~Brenda~*~
Comment: Marie, Thank you so much for sharing your life with me through your beautiful journal. I had so much fun reading all of your entries, and have gone back and reread the entire thing over again. My favorite was your love story entry. So sweet.
Comment: Thanks for the North Carolina postcard, with the great "...believe in the beauty of their dreams." quote from Eleanor Roosevelt. Love that one.
Comment: Received my package today--thank you for all the nice gifts. I love the stationery and candle holders and want to learn how to use the hair sticks. :)
Comment: I enjoyed the green tea while reading your list. I enjoyed your list - I can see you truly enjoy the little things in life, and that's nice to see! Thank you!
Comment: Thanks! I've only read a bit of the journal so far, but I look forward to reading the whole thing. Thanks for the little extras too. The Pooh stickers are cute :)
Comment: Thanks so much for the extra goodies! Sorry to hear about your sister, I think she will look back and regret not being more aggressive. It is so important for her to take charge and stand up for herself so she has some control over the custody arrangements for her kids. Hope you can get through to her :)
Comment: Marie, Your small community sounds charming and so does your home and family life. Thank you for the interesting letter and the tea.I also love crossword puzzles but never could get into Sudoku. Kindergarten does seem young to have homework. Doskie
Comment: Thank you for your 3 favorite poems. The first 2 where known to me but the third was unknown to me so now I will heve to find more from Robert Frost.
:-)))
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of your letters! Thank you so much for all the goodies you sent throughout this fun swap (especially the last package)! I'm so glad to have met you!
Comment: The letter was amazing and the rocks gave me a good feel for the environment where she found them. This was an extra special swap for me. :
:P
Comment: Phenomenal letter, so descriptive! You and I have similar tastes and interests! I had so much fun reading your letter, thanks so much. You made my day.
