Stop by my website (it's free to post your comments) at belindahowardsmith(dot)com and read stories about "Growing up in Plain View." Please post some of your own stories on the site.

It goes to show there are some things that never change! Names have been changed in some of my stories - see if you can guess who I've written about.
