Every Day I Write My Book - 2004 diary

No hiding, no flinching and no compromise.

If you're here to look at good photos, please go away. The photos in this gallery are illustrations of my life only - they're not intended to be good photos, though obviously I try to make them as good as possible, they just have to be meaningful.

Why not drop me a comment if you'd like to share your views on something I've written or if you like something you've seen here.

Just click on the 'thumbnail' to see the photo and the day's commentary.

Jeanne Ricci has a fabulous Links page to all the PotD galleries

if you do like what you see, last year's diary is still loaded so do go back and take a look at that too.

It looks like you had a great time here in the US and I have enjoyed following your adventures on Pbase. A photo diary is a terrific idea and its very nice of you to allow the world to follow along. Come back to the states soon. There is so very much to see and do.

Bless your heart! You have been sick for days and now this. You seem to be in a rut. But, chin up things could alway be worse. Spring isn't far off and just the thought of it can at least make you plan for positive things. Hope tomorrow is better.

Anna Yu		03-Feb-2004 01:27
Hi LInda, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and daily life. I think this must be one of the best PAD galleries I've seen. I really like the descriptive text accompanying each picture, it really gives a meaning to each image. Most if I am impressed by your energy and dedication (being a lazy person myself). Regards/Anna

Guest		02-Feb-2004 20:07
nice gallery.

Teresa		30-Jan-2004 20:44
I happened upon pbase and your gallery a couple of weeks ago and just loved your pictures and I have been trying to find it again and did today. I am a slow speaking southern girl from Alabama, but I can say that your pictures are good. I also like the fact that you really like animals, seeing that I also have a rabbit, dog and cat. I also love cookbooks, now that is not to say that I am a good cook. I am not! I do however love to read and look at cookbooks. I would like very much if you would email me sometime. Sincerely, Teresa tdsjones@hotmail.com

Guest		30-Jan-2004 07:39
