I know our lives are much richer by having contact with friends around the world. My Father's parents came to this country from Denmark when they were in their 20's so have always been around people with accents. I actually love accents and think they are charming. :)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-25502795598343113612014-09-02T17:03:51.448-05:002014-09-02T17:03:51.448-05:00I like the idea if quilts for book covers--very in...I like the idea if quilts for book covers--very inventive, Paisley. I'm sorry though that you lost your daughter to cancer. 32 is so young. We share the same historical beginning--post WWII babies.<br />I never took typing classes. It sure would have come in handy. <br />Congratulations on your extraordinary marriage. You have truly been blessed.<br />Your sunroom office sounds so dreamy.<br />How wonderful to have had all those marvelous pen pals and exchange students. It seems so exciting to visit friends in other countries...such adventures!<br />It was so good getting to know more about you.<br />Continued success to you in all you do.Sarah J.

We are already seeing some of the trees turning to the fall colors and they are gorgeous.<br /><br />I loved having my penpals and am so glad I have kept some of them. I also had one other penpal in Denmark. The interesting thing about him was his grandparents and my grandparents were friends. He became a doctor and stopped writing when he headed off to college.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by today and helping me with my post as well. :)Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-70441148654351627732014-09-02T13:39:08.190-05:002014-09-02T13:39:08.190-05:00Liette, so nice to meet you, too.

In all you do. Even turning the painful, heartbreaking tragedy of losing your daughter into a beautiful remembrance of her by making baby quilts is so beautiful. Congratulations on meeting your own hero and 45 years together. And best wishes to you both in your new home. Wisconsin is beautiful, and the view from your desk will be mighty inspiring. Cannot wait to read your Northwood series. :))Ashley Kath-Bilskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073164133698225798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-3781843315139863802014-09-02T11:23:31.052-05:002014-09-02T11:23:31.052-05:00Great post Paisley.

Of course, we sort of know each other, but certainly, only the tip of the iceberg of our lives.<br />You have led a fascinating international kind of life. <br />I can't imagine losing a daughter at a young age. 32 is not even getting started on life. I do sympathize with you on your loss.<br /><br />The most interesting part of your post is the number of pen pals you had, and how many you still have. That is amazing. As a teenager, I had one pen pal, a girl my age who lived in England. I wish I'd kept her letters. By the time we graduated, we just stopped writing.<br />Oh, I envy you your desk and view. How beautiful. While I wouldn't live in that part of the US on a bet--I would freeze to death--I do hold great respect for the fabulous beauty of the area. Picturesque.<br />Thanks for your post. I would say you have led a very exciting life!
