I'm glad you enjoyed A Wife for Big John.<br /><br />Thanks, Paisley.

How interesting the nuns were so ingenious to come up with such a unique way of paying for their hospitals and medical care. Very strong women there.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-31202434026153905792012-03-24T16:09:13.545-05:002012-03-24T16:09:13.545-05:00As I started reading your post, I was thinking I h...As I started reading your post, I was thinking I had seen this in a book, then I realized further into the post it was YOUR book, which I enjoyed.

I can almost see her doctorin' up Paul Bunyan.

I bet if she could help the administration out with our health care, we'd all be better off. Thankfully, she did not make it confusing and difficult--as it should be.<br />I liked that you used her in your story, A Wife for Big John.<br />Good choice for a Woman in History.<br />Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-36128724780354278772012-03-24T09:37:00.578-05:002012-03-24T09:37:00.578-05:00What an interesting woman.
