can't believe it
I finished another book. I'm like a freaking reading machine! Okay, I realize that it's not odd for most to finish a book, but it is strange for me! And I have read a few now. Weird. Maybe my childhood love is back. I don't know what stopped it. My mom thinks it's the school's fault. Maybe it was tv. Maybe having a sister. Who knows, but I like to read! I just have to pick it. This is so awesome. I feel like a little kid.
So, this one was Ava's Man- on loan from kittycat22. It was such a homecoming. They mentioned near-about every town I've live in. Made me proud of my skanky ancestors. I want to recommend the book to anyone from the south. Not so the south will rise again or anything crazy, but so you might not feel ashamed of what was, what you had no control over, or what so many think is pathetic. And I'm not even talking about race issues. Hard to explain, but I saw a lot of my family in that book. Including myself- the outsider looking back. I miss my parents' hometown now. I long to hear stories of my grandmothers'. I think I will make a pie in memory.
As inspired, I starting searching for family trees on the internet. I found my paternal grandfather's maternal family line back to 1555! But the paternal line only to my great grandfather. I think I will email the person who put it all together and give them the updates for the family I know about. I'll need to get it together first.
