And, something she and I have discussed...the stereotyping of Africa as a continent....Janet Thanks, JJ....I enjoy both parts of Damaria's post, but I really like

This one brought back memories of stories my own parents and grandparents shared. What really sticks is the memory of the songs my mother's mother sang while sewing clothes for our dolls. That, of course leads to a whole series of memories. I have faith that Damaria's daughter will remember the stories and pass them along to future generations with all the love and blessings that go with them.
