Quote Books

If you know me well, you know that I carry a little “quote book” around in my purse.  Above, are 3 editions dating back to 2002.  The fourth is currently in my purse, but that volume is almost finished as well and eventually some of it will find its way onto this page.

These are cherished items and I thought I would share some material from the first 3 as most people who are quoted in them don’t get to see these everyday as they aren’t in my purse or a public library (YET!). 

Most every quote is written down by me unless I’m being quoted and someone was kind enough to note that down for me   Everything typed below appears how it is in the book, with clarifiers, disclaimers, dates, etc…
