Lori Thank you for the friendship!


Jeannie Faulkner Barber Thanks Jim for adding me as a friend. Your website is very impressive. I notice you live in Berea. One of my son's went to the college there several years ago. Kentucky is a beautiful place.
I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with a friend of over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well.
Blessings,
Jeannie
