Still, imagine his kids sitting around reminiscing about Atticus and the stories they could tell.Wenda Dottridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086728367896516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-25033655030709693552010-08-04T15:12:40.450-04:002010-08-04T15:12:40.450-04:00@Wenda, Yeah lol he claimed that there was hills i...@Wenda, Yeah lol he claimed that there was hills in Florida back in those days lol.

My late father-in-law and grandmother, though, spring to mind. I think it was because they were so self-accepting and comfortable in their own skin. <br /><br />In terms of fictional characters, who could forget Anne of Green Gables for exuberance and passion; Atticus Finch for steadfastness and Jan O'Hara (Tartitude)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04930129153455367820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-76179508645372882962010-08-04T15:08:29.236-04:002010-08-04T15:08:29.236-04:00LOL Anita,

Off the top of my head, Anne of Green Gables and Scarlett O'Hara come to mind. Although other characters stick with me because I've come to love them and feel as if they are my friends over the course of many stories--like Mma Ramatswe of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency.Anne Mateerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330467138236037032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-67697207958600650652010-08-04T05:50:36.542-04:002010-08-04T05:50:36.542-04:00Oh my. what a fun story.
