Debbie, that is brilliant! B2Y, you could this! You have such an talent for words and writing as well as grammar. (Sometimes I am embarrassed as I type so fast when posting I don't pay attention to grammar and I always think - "B2Y is going to see that and roll her eyes.) Back to what I was saying. You could write some wonderful books or short stories and capture these memories.

Last semester I took a writing class, as many as you know. I wrote a paper on Faulkner. I started the paper out by talking about being a painter and the tools I use as a painter. I then described how Faulkner uses words as his tool to "paint" a picture. Faulkner could use his words in such a way that you can see, feel, taste, smell, and hear whatever he described. As I did my research, I found a short story that he wrote about a painter and a writer. The writer spoke/described with his words and the painter painted what was described. (Even though I mess up grammatically, with spelling, etc. on here I did get an A+ on the paper. LOL)

You would be awesome at doing this. I do hope you consider this and when you publish, let me know as I would love, love to read it.
