Thanks, Bill. Poultry is PL OK, and I enjoyed the trip down memory lane (I used to raise chickens). I've bookmarked the whole book on Hobbies for a future project and wish I'd found it earlier for this one. Good read. Good find.
Lynne, I've adjusted the summary and the cover is ready to go, so the rest is up to you. Let me know if I need to do something more.
Thanks to all our readers for their enthusiastic participation!

If I believed in reincarnation, I would say that I lived life as a monastic monk who worked on illuminated manuscripts from dawn to dusk. In another life, I would have been one of those women who made tapestries.msfry wrote: ↑September 6th, 2020, 7:46 am Illustrative and Decorative Impulse is PL OK. I LOVE that word "superfluity". I used it in a poem I wrote 28 years ago about Modern Poetry,
"I sleep disturbed and dream I've drowned
In disconnected superfluity."
I gotta find another opportunity to use that word!
Maybe we'll meet up there! I'll be working alongside Cadfiel growing herbs and making potions. I'll bring you hot tea in one of my home thrown pottery mugs.RitaBoutros wrote: ↑September 11th, 2020, 5:32 am If I believed in reincarnation, I would say that I lived life as a monastic monk who worked on illuminated manuscripts from dawn to dusk.

I have no idea what this means. McQueen Part 1 and 2 are not in this collection (we disallowed them as too long). and I don't recognize the others. The MW is filled in with 20 selections, all accurate.

I did that yesterday and told you I had. Is there something wrong with it?

We don't usually tell listeners that the collection is closed... it is obvious if it is in the catalog. But if you're sure...msfry wrote: ↑September 11th, 2020, 9:39 amI did that yesterday and told you I had. Is there something wrong with it?

I changed it slightly again, to indicate our process, which I find interesting and hope our listeners will too. Maybe they will come across a story they want to include and will pick up their mike or join LV. So please use the very latest version.Lynnet wrote: ↑September 11th, 2020, 9:41 amWe don't usually tell listeners that the collection is closed... it is obvious if it is in the catalog.
