She took hundreds of photos, but later found out the camera was not working and no pictures came from that trip. We were at the Great Wall, up in Mongolia in a yurt, in Beijing on a bicycle, but all we have is our memories of this trip. It was hard, but somehow I've decided that perhaps memories are the best pictures.

I was cleaning up a closet the other day and came across two copies of the manuscript for my first book (never published). One copy had been typed out and the other was a photocopy! It's about three inches thick, though it was double-spaced, as those things used to be! Yikes!<br />Should I burn them - or at least one?<br />LoriLori Gosselinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438402657014025086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-66783608491777380382013-03-04T18:31:03.564-08:002013-03-04T18:31:03.564-08:00I suspect I would have had a good laugh at my yout...I suspect I would have had a good laugh at my youthful self!
