I will be posting about them. Perhaps a paragraph each month, since we are writing about historical things. I can begin with how stories came from different places I've visited. How's that? And yes, I would have loved to have sat at Jesus' feet and felt His love first hand.

I was born in Northeast Arkansas and mother's people lived around the Star City area. Everything was rural and still paced at the early 1900's. It was like being in a time warp; like living the Foxfire Books. I can wring a chicken's neck, operate a wringer washing machine (which is not as easy as it looks), make hominy, and the list goes on. Maybe that's why I love history, I was part of it in a unique way. Lift a glass of fresh squeezed juice to CFHS as you go about your marvelous travels. We look forward to hearing about your adventures.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-32516471427240209102013-02-22T01:23:26.181-05:002013-02-22T01:23:26.181-05:00Dear Ms. Greene,
As I only discovered this lovely...Dear Ms. Greene,<br /><br />As I only discovered this lovely blog a few tickings past midnight, I am far too late for the bookaway this month, but I am most anxious to answer your question, nonetheless! I am happily reading through everyone's introductory posts, and I must confess, the 19th Century is one of my favourites to puruse in fiction!! :) :) Of the inventions you mentioned,... I could get by with these in my life: gas lights, typewriter, travel by steam locomotive, sewing lessons on a machine, a bicycle, roll film for a camera, and a washing machine! What bliss that would give the budding novelist back then!? Especially if she made her living off her typewriter, but for novels + as a career!? Perhaps as a typist/secretary!?<br /><br />Its hard to pick exactly which era I'd travel back too, as each different period of history presents both its wonderous joys and marvels to observe as much as its pains, sorrows, and troubling times to overcome! At least, focusing on the inventions + my passion for the 19th century in general is a far easier choice! :)<br /><br />See you in March!<br />Anything Scottish is alright by me!<br />Did you ever watch Monarch of the Glen?Jorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-21930246249470808092013-02-19T14:41:37.057-05:002013-02-19T14:41:37.057-05:00I know everyone is anxious to find out who won the...I know everyone is anxious to find out who won the first copy of MARRIAGE BY ARRANGEMENT, the second book in my Scottish HIstorical series.

I haven't read all of them, but did notice that Vickie McDonough is one of the "bloggers" and I have just finished "Long Trail Home." I really don't know which era I like the most......I guess it all depends on what I am reading. For a while, all I wanted to read were books about Scotland , and am really looking forward to "Marriage by Arrangement"--- then I can get caught up in early American stories, or England. I loved all stories about Alaska and Colleen Coble's stories about northern Michigan: as I said -- whatever I am reading at the moment. Right now, it is Texas history, the Morgan Family Series. <br /><br />Love Beth<br />Beth Klabundenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-64320830170418482692013-02-15T12:18:22.494-05:002013-02-15T12:18:22.494-05:00Patty, I so love your sense of humor!!!Patty, I so love your sense of humor!!!Anne Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033138385514434006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-34685951703848929142013-02-15T12:15:51.122-05:002013-02-15T12:15:51.122-05:00Merry, I so hope you win Marriage By Arrangment, s...Merry, I so hope you win Marriage By Arrangment, since you enjoyed Masquerade Marriage.

Those were good, simple times. We had enough modern conveniences to be comfortable and adequate time to enjoy each other. The days spent outside with cousins are precious memories. Another fond memory is all that delicious food my mom and grandmothers produced. I enjoyed church back in that day too. 1950 isn't as glamorous as earlier years, but it was a good decade.Gay N Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738509765741278866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-51243291655778002522013-02-15T06:29:47.299-05:002013-02-15T06:29:47.299-05:00Hello Anne.

I was living the first years of my marriage in the 50s, and we could only make one trip each year, so we went to Tx. and OK. on the state line, to visit both our folks! i would love to visit back in the big plantations time. I love the stories and pictures of that time. But, wouldn't want to stay. I would hate to have to wear those long skirted dresses no matter what you were doing. Also it would bee nice to get to visit in the 1800s and meet my grand and great grandparents that I never got to know. I was born in 1935 and from the time I was 6 and into the early 50s, I loved the ways things were quieter and more peaceful as far as kids being able to run around to their friends to play, and just be home before dark and in time for supper. The things we were allowed to do now they always say don''t let your kids do this, eat that, etc. And there's so much more trouble in the school, etc. And, tho I love being on FB, I like the way family was together more and talked. Now some even text each other from another room in their home, and hardly ever eat together. And, kids instead of being outside with friends, or reading, some are on the phones constantly.I wouldn't want to be Amish, but I like their quieter lifestyle. And, the way they help each other in all things. Of, course it was like that in yrs.. past. Now, they can't do much to help you because of all of the inspections, and having to have a license to do everything. But, I love my family and friends, and have had a happy life. And, most of all, my Savior to always see me through life's trials. I would love to win Anne's book.<br /> Maxie mac262(at)me(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
