I just remembered that my record is slightly less atrocious, because I ALSO read Gone With The Wind.  Why?  Mostly because we saw it in the bookstore and Darrin recommended it (yes, he who owns the sewing machine and the BBC series of Pride and Prejudice

Civil War

[wurtmann]

My sister loved the book and movie so much that she named her second daughter Scarlett. That was an appropriate name too because she lived up to the self-centered, emotionally destructive young girl that the book portrayed. She ended up marrying a man twice her age when she was 18 and then was a widow just a couple of years later.

I have a Gone With The Wind quilt kit I am making for my sister. I have other Civil War quilt kits as this year is the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. I have two southern great grandfathers who were involved in the war and managed to survive and return home to their loving wives and numerous children. I have great admiration for their faith and endurance, and I am grateful to say they turned out to be champions for the Lord.
