“happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear…”            I don’t know about you, but some of my best childhood memories are those of my birthdays. I recently happened upon what I consider to be a wonderful product. The dirtroad gem of a find is THE BIRTHDAY INTERVIEW. You can check their site at http://www.thebirthdayinterview.com .

I am sad to admit that as I think back over the past five years with my son, there are things that I have already forgotten about those special moments. That is going to stop this year!

Dirtroad Sisters is happy to announce…we will be offering this fanciful find to our customers! If you are interested in purchasing one for yourself or to share as a gift with someone else please let us know.

Smiles!                                                                                                                                                :) Caroline

I have just started reading A Writer’s Notebook by Ralph Fletcher. Fletcher states that the most important tool he uses is his writer’s notebook. He believes that this book is one of the best ways to live a writing kind of life.My question was…”What IS a writer’s notebook?” Ralph Fletcher starts by talking about what it is not. A writer’s notebook is not a diary. A writer’s notebook is not a reading journal. According to Fletcher, a writer’s notebook is different from any journal you’ve ever kept.A writer’s notebook is a place to record our reactions!  It gives you a place to write down what makes you angry or sad or amazed, or to write down what you noticed and don’t want to forget, to record exactly what your grandmother whispered in your ear before she said good-bye for the last time.I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Smiles!

 Hand-written gestures have always served as a source of encouragement to my spirit. It  is those simple, quiet, and humble, behind the scenes, little deeds, and words of kindness that make a POWERFUL impact! In the Bible, Paul was constantly writing  letters to the congregations that they might gain a sense of  encouragement. His letters, like the ones we all love to receive, are the ones that carry so much of the writer’s personality  that he seems to be sitting beside us and chatting with us.  

I hope you gain as much enjoyment from using my personalized stationery as I do creating and hand-finishing each piece. I hope you will visit me at www.dirtroadsisters.com

I am afraid that letter-writing is becoming a lost art. In fact, the practice of writing personal letters is diminishing to such an extent that they threaten to become extinct! While e-mail has certainly made keeping in touch more convenient, it will never replace the thought and time put into a penned note. A hand-written note means that someone has put time and effort into crafting a personal message to you.

Maybe you will take time today to remind someone they are special by writing them a quick note in your own hand. And, you can depend on www.dirtroadsisters.comto have the perfect personalized stationery unique for your individual personality!

MEMORIAL DAY.
We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here ‘neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you’ve given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore

~By C W Johnson- May 1975~

As long as I can remember, I have enjoyed going to the mailbox to retrieve the day’s post. I recall my letter writing beginning in the fourth grade with a pen-pal from New York. Notes in class and love-letters were always fun throughout school. While away at college, I frequently wrote letters back home to family and friends. Now, I especially enjoy writing those loved one who are in different parts of the country.
