Just wanted to touch base with the girls completing the questionnaire--I know how busy you all are but if you would take a minute or two and if you get the chance I am so looking forward to receiving the completed questionnaires!!
------



***
Well...we have had some questionnaires coming in and OH MY----they are so interesting! I am really looking forward to more coming in!!

New blogspot!

http://farmgirlhistory.blogspot.com/

I am still accepting farmgirl histories for the collection--Please e-mail me for more information and the questionnaire!


The response has been extrordinary! Please let me know if you would like to add to our Farmgirl Collection of Histories....

******************************************
Any oral history buffs out there?

I am a member of the Michigan Oral History Association and would love to take some farmgirl histories!

It wouldn't be an oral history per se, because I would be forwarding a list of of questions I have compiled that I normally use in my interviews. And, once completed you can forward it back to me.

Eventually, I would love to be able to write a book about our dear farmgirl sisters, their history and how we have so much in common with each other-our love of the land, nature, and animals---our common thread....

Doesn't that sound like fun??

Any takers? Please e-mail me for more information!

melody,
I received the questionnaire but I need to know if we are supposed to keep it short and within the space provided or can we expand on a question if we need to?

Oh...EXPAND please!!

I felt constrained listing the questions like I did and I do have kind of a basic format going, but I did want you all to write as much or as little as you wished. Elaborating is what I do best!!

Do just that Michele. Write as much as you like No holds barred!

Okay?

Talk to you soon and I really appreciate your contribution to the collection Michele!!

It was fun!
And it made me think.
Would be some thoughts to go into one's journal if out of things to write.
