Only got caught once, too. <BR/>How come all the moms seem to teach their daughters, but never their sons? Mom taught me and today I'm glad. Don't think I was earlier in my life, though.Catmoveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192091477404637971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057616764928118790.post-26272151831342503142007-10-30T11:56:00.000-06:002007-10-30T11:56:00.000-06:00Wow Debbie your fan base really seems to be growin...Wow Debbie your fan base really seems to be growing. You'll definitely need to include pictures with your book. I can see the Sidney water tower in my minds eye like a beacon of my childhood. We've never talked before about our running away stategies but I use to use the water tower as my guide as well through the Iowa farmlands. What I found most interesting was that mom called the police. I must have run away from home dozens of times (I'm so glad my own children don't give me so much grief)but I don't ever recall Mom calling the police. Ah this confirms my childhood complex- They liked you more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057616764928118790.post-20327488509243249412007-10-24T15:01:00.000-06:002007-10-24T15:01:00.000-06:00Hi, Deborah:Sorry - nothing to do with this post, ...Hi, Deborah:<BR/><BR/>Sorry - nothing to do with this post, but I thought you might be interested.

I can't explain how i found you, it was a convoluted road through many blogs, but I have enjoyed what I found here and it reminds me in a a way of one of my lbogs in which i write of my childhood...though our childhoods appear to have been very different indeed! I would buy this book too if you found a publisher. Maybe you should add a buyers list to your sidebar?DJ Kirkbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481107164497582398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057616764928118790.post-44364316217717096262007-10-16T04:26:00.000-06:002007-10-16T04:26:00.000-06:00I'd never run away with the cowsAs for running awa...I'd never run away with the cows<BR/>As for running away with the cowgirl, well it's all down to how good she is at milkingQUASAR9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00593390598251093182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057616764928118790.post-28589670969868562442007-10-16T01:04:00.001-06:002007-10-16T01:04:00.001-06:00Pope,You make me laugh!Pope,<BR/><BR/>You make me laugh!Deborah Gamblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950955046427526175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057616764928118790.post-64832484858020089532007-10-16T01:04:00.000-06:002007-10-16T01:04:00.000-06:00C-Dub,I have thought about self publishing.
