  1. I was wondering...Are you done posting Abba Owens diary?

  2. Hi Joe; I left off since the consensus seemed to be that folks didn't seem so interested...not as much as Allie McCullough's, for sure. But I'm always open to suggestion. :)

  3. I agree, it is kind of flat. Is there maybe another diary we could explore?

  4. Joe: Sure. How does Superior township farmer William Lambie sound? He's pretty darn laconic BUT he was a faithful diarist. What are some topics of themes you're interested in? More of an urban diary/experience, young/old, other things that would be interesting to you? I can check out the diary range today.

  5. I really enjoyed Allie's and Carrie's diaries. I do like the urban theme best. Whatever you decide will fine with me. Thank You!
