NO ONE TOLD ME by Lois M Valentin
This was written by me sometime during the 1980's-1990's.
No one told me that my heart could cry so loud yet no one hears.
No one told me that victims are sometimes punished and scarred for life and the violent criminals are often free of worry and pain.
No one told me that my voice sounds so much different to me when I hear it on a tape recorder.
No one told me that life was a political game.
No one told me that I would want to fly through outer space yet I am afraid of heights and elevators.
No one told me that now I don't have to take my children anywhere that I would have no place to go myself.
No one told me that I could write this, play with Tiger, my cat and listen to the walkman at the same time , but I did and it's 11:30 at night.

SPOOKY & THE DOLLEY MADISON DRESS
SPOOKY & THE DOLLEY MADISON DRESS by Lois M Valentin
During the past few weeks I have been alternating between sewing and sorting old personal papers plus bags of research notes- sometimes in triplicate. It seems that every time I moved, I made new notes to enter into my computer which always went into storage at some point.
Now all my notes and my computer are here. I've entered the info and ripped up the notes. Some notes written by me were unable to be read so out they went. My daughter got me 2 more photo albums so I can put the old pics from the bins into the albums. Decades ago I was the camera happy person taking pics . Not much has changed . :)
Spooky has been supervising my paper work and my sewing. He also has made sure I get exercise. He runs across the floor and jumps on the stack of papers, knocking them down. . Thus I have to get up and fix the stack again. Or he would grab some part of the fabric or embellishment and give it an unwanted tug.
The Dolley Madison dress is a costume for my granddaughter for her school project. A report about Dolley Madison. She also elected to bring a costume. Tomorrow it goes to school. Wonder what the teacher will say.
Now that the dress is finished I can go back to research or playing word games until the next sewing project
Until next time,
Lois.
