Welty's stories were purchased at the Borders closing sale (Margaret bought Plath that day). I read Why I l Live at the P.O. last year and loved it. Will check around for the recording of Welty reading it... would love to hear her voice.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-86589430285233940742011-04-17T07:42:09.608-04:002011-04-17T07:42:09.608-04:00Ha!

I love that picture you posted from Girl Scouts! <br /><br />I really enjoy Welty's short stories (enjoyed them so much in a course that I bought a collection...huh, guess I do that a lot). In one class we listened to her reading Why I Live at the P.O. Cute story when read but very entertaining hearing her read the story. Not sure where you could find it, but if you can...Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-70646137090398650062011-04-15T23:20:51.704-04:002011-04-15T23:20:51.704-04:00thanks so much for this post and the link to the s...thanks so much for this post and the link to the story-and for reminding us it was Ms Welty's birthday!Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-70009334598271178702011-04-15T07:32:23.957-04:002011-04-15T07:32:23.957-04:00Vintage Reading - Thank you for reminding me about...Vintage Reading - Thank you for reminding me about Welty's Jane Austen Essay.

I recently purchased her collected short stories at our Borders closing sale and hope to read another of her novels in the near future, too.<br /><br />Staci - That's great that you got to visit your grandmother daily! Don't know of many high school kids today that would arrive at your solution. What a great experience!<br /><br />Margaret - I thought the coincidence of Welty's birthday, the quote, and that particular story was very serendipitous! Glad you got a chance to read the story. My favorite so far has been "Why I Love at the P.O."JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-68200905645834529032011-04-14T02:13:20.175-04:002011-04-14T02:13:20.175-04:00Well, I've just read the story - thanks for th...Well, I've just read the story - thanks for the link - and agree that the quote from Eudora Welty is so relevant to this story!
