In 2012, I am planning to return to collecting personal histories from people who have an interesting story about themselves, their families, or their friends. If you read the introductory article and the three examples I provided, you will see what kind of diverse stories I am interested in. The short term plan is to collect them in a blog that will appear on this website. The long term plan is to eventually prepare them as print and e-books, possibly arranged around several specific topics. I would like to know if there are enough people interested in joining the project – please leave a comment to let me know.

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay interested in this. There are many interesting things going on in my life and from my past! I would be very proud to do so. I wonder if you would be interested in sharing a story or stories about your grandmother(s) for a nonfiction book I am writing about grandmothers. It's in honor of my own precious grandmother, but I would love to have input from others who love/loved and enjoy/miss theirs.
Thanks.
Vivian

Hi Ilil, sorry to post here but I could find anywhere to post on the home page. When I saw your gorgeous cat I was astounded because he/she looks so much like my Buffa! Buff is a bit more chocolate brown but the face and colouring are almost identical!

My beautiful cat is my beloved late Roger, rest his soul. He was the best cat ever... even my other cats miss him. So thank you for the kind words.

Yes, I saw Buffa's picture on your website. He is a real charmer! I also like his comments on Oscar's blog.

Maybe we should use e-mail. My regular e-mail is ililarbel@aol.com and anyway soon you will have to send me the book... can't wait.

Thanks for commenting on The Community Kitchen. I am commenting here from my main website. I love this project you are doing. I waiting too long to document my grandmother's and great-grandmother's story. My mother is ill and I am visiting her in a week. I think it is very serendipitous that I came upon you, or you came upon my blog (www.evanstoncommunitykitchen.wordpress.com)
I am so glad we connected. Are you on Twitter? Find me if you are @memomuse1 and @600DavisSt
Sincerely
Megan Oteri
