My Aunt Liz

I finally put summer away and have started my latest book project. My Great Aunt Elizabeth was one of those pioneer teachers who was often smaller and probably younger than some of her students.

She told one of her sons that she had to resort to carrying a quirt to school to keep order in one of her soddy school houses. How I loved her; and how I pray I can write her biography with the honor she deserves.

I have a box of her letters, papers and photos beside the computer and I plan to begin the task of compiling them into a lovely little book.
