Can I just say how much I love that this journal is here? whether it is actually read by anyone isn't even the important thing. (And to those of you who do read it, you rock, just by virtue of being you, not even just because you read it! :-D)

So I'm writing a story, about a girl from Dublin whose parents send her to live with her aunt in Minnesota

Wow. This was certainly a long post :> I enjoyed it still.

What I want to comment about is the grandfather's letter. I wish I had something similar of my own. Unfortunately, both my grandfathers passed away, one a year before I was born, and the other one, to whom I cared so much, two weeks before I turned 19. Besides of yearning to know them close to me, this aspect concerning our ancestors and all would have been very nice to share. As from my father's side, I've got Polish and Hungarian blood, and from my mother's, they say I've got some Tatarian :> Plus that one of my grandfathers was a hunter and a miner, and the other one, colonel of the local militia. So ... you see, I envy and congratulate you! And hope to see the letter rather soon, and also asking you to kindly friend me back if possible?

Omg, I'm so sorry! I though I added you way back once we started emailing. I'm such a space cadet!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfathers. Did either of them have any brothers or sisters that are still alive? I'm sure that they would love to hear from you and answer questions about their youth and family history.

What's Tatarian?

First of all, allow me to tell you that your Johnyy-avatar simply rocks :>

Then, well, one of my grandpas didn't have brothers, while the other had around 7 or 8, but I'm definetly not connected with them in any way. Yet, both my grandmothers are still among us, and perhaps could tell me a thing or another, if I knew how to take this in charge. They're both difficult women and usually don't have "time for my b#l#o#k#":D

Errr, Tatarian ... might be a word I simply invented to match the Romanian term. I'll hace a look on wiki and let you know. Here you are:

a trip to the mall may only be in your future if you call me back!!!!!

By "the mall" do you mean Westfarms? There's a Papyrus there -- they sell oodles of notecards, and I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have regular stationery too. Blue Tulip at the Shoppes in Canton has some stationery as well -- not inexpensive, but nice.

I'm so glad to find another stationery geek. ;-)

[knitcole22]

Yeah, we're going to Westfarms, I think. I had never noticed a Papyrus there...because I've never needed stationery before, but now I'm so into it haha. Thanks!!

[thidwick]

I'm pretty sure it's on the first floor, in the Nordstrom wing. :-)

Ok, first all I know about Minnesota is that I think that is where Brandon and Brenda Walsh lived before they moved to 90210. Also, is Prince from Minnesota? As to geography, google maps is very useful

I think it is much worse going to Catholic Schools and no, it apparently NEVER goes away!
