I sure find this to be true in many kids now days, also. Too much video/tv and not enough playing alone time. I have been putting my diaries into book form also. I use blurb.com and it is nice also. But I am sure there are many book places online and one is probably as good as another. Please do get it into a book. It will sell well, I am sure. I know I really enjoy reading about the lives of those who have gone before and wish that more of them had written down about their daily lives.
Some quilt magazines publish personal stories. That would be a place to consider.

The family ends with me. My husband and I were each only children, and we choose to have our military careers, rather than a family. We have hosted 18 exchange students since my retirement. The last one has boomeranged and is living with us again, attending collage. Now, as a 4-H advisor, I have several thousand "children" per year. I share with them what they are willing to absorb. Their ideals and values are different, and I find a lack of imagination on their part. I write so that everyone can retreat to some corner of their past - and remember.[/quote]

Not only is your memories a treasure it sounds like YOU are a treasure. I am sure that your 4-H students agree. I can't wait to read more. Do you still have the quilt? I would love to see a picture of it.
