We had to use historical characters in the poem to the tune of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' and I aced and "A".<br /><br />I believe I was early twenties when I wrote 'Sweet Surrender'. It was about a Viet Nam war veteran who came back to claim his love he left behind.<br /><br />Many moons ago.

Mostly because I couldn't possibly choose. :) Love both too much.<br /><br />Also, I forgot to answer the e-book one. I will always love paper books as objects. Especially hardcovers or trade paperbacks with the really nice thick paper. I am a sucker for that kind of packaging.<br /><br />But I have to say, I am LOVING my kindle since I bought one a few weeks ago. I find reading on the kindle easier than a paper book. Easier to see, easier to hold, easier to flip pages. It fits easily in my purse and I don't have to worry about other junk in my bag wrecking my book. :)Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-23505126079823846312010-12-03T18:12:09.317-05:002010-12-03T18:12:09.317-05:00Hi everyone!

Stopping in late, as I'm on the road for a few days.<br /><br />Hawaii for me, I think (though I may have to jot off to the Virgin Islands to see what I'm missing). Pale as I am, I burn burn burn. I loved Hawaii because of all of the lush greenery, the rainy side of the Big Island was cooler and a place I could go to get out of the sun. Besides, 11 of the world's 13 climate zones are on that one little island...who wouldn't love that?<br /><br />Definitely not heels, so I'd have to say hiking boots, though truthfully, I'm more of a flip-flop or barefooter myself.<br /><br />M & M's. Yum. (though I do love a good Hershey Bar with almonds)<br /><br />Definitely paper books for me. I love the smell, the feel, etc. Plus, I read in the bathtub and at the lake a lot...not electronic friendly places!<br /><br />Wall calendar, too, though I do find I'm putting more and more in my iPhone calendars.<br /><br />Hmmm, my question?<br /><br />Truth or Dare?<br /><br />Um...just kidding.

Especially because they don't know who I am and have taken this poor confused girl by the hand and gotten her introduced to loops and invited her to blog. I'd have been lost without so much help.<br /><br />Hawaii vs the Virgin Islands. Since I have much experience with both, I will say the Virgin Islands. Hawaii is a place you go for romance. It's beautiful, lush, filled with history and amazing sights. The Virgin Islands is where you go to party. I'll do a blog about that in January. We like to sail the BVI's. Loads of fun.<br /><br />Hiking Boots. Definitely.<br /><br />I like a wall calendar at work where it's all green cubicle walls, but I love my electronic calendars to keep me on track. <br /><br />Marilyn, Hershey's kisses. I buy bags and bags of them at Christmas when they have all the seasonal flavors.<br /><br />Paper book or e-book?<br /><br />CatAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663703767093923242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-87293552307273601162010-12-03T12:07:39.929-05:002010-12-03T12:07:39.929-05:00OOHH -- White Chocolate or Cookies N Cream Hershey...OOHH -- White Chocolate or Cookies N Cream Hershey's .... or the new coconut M&Ms ??<br /><br />Marilyn...my fantasy is to have ANY and be guilt free with no caolories.

I have a critique partner who lives there and he's told me so much about both the American and British Virgin Islands and written them into his books, I feel like I've been there. <br /><br />My bridge partner was also swimming during a trip to the the British V.I.s, very contentedly doing so, when she heard a sail boat, coming much too near. A very strong male voice said, "Excuse me lady, I didn't see you."<br /><br />She looked up to see him standing on the bow, wearing nothing but his proverbial smile. Paddling furiously and ducking her head to avoid the :er: development, she swam toward shore and to her hysterical friends who were waiting on the beach to tease her mercilessly.<br /><br />The Virgin Islands sounds like a great places to visit and capture some future storytelling ideas.Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-37366907610608346412010-12-03T08:35:06.126-05:002010-12-03T08:35:06.126-05:00Welcome to our story...
