About the Book

“I think that laughter is the best medicine that we have,

especially with all the problems that we have to endure

these days!  That should include being able to laugh at

yourself comfortably!  We all do things that at the time

they are happening,  may not seem real funny,  but why

be embarrassed about it?  We are human and make human

mistakes!  Nobody is perfect,  so why not laugh about it? 

That is why I wrote this book,  so that the people who

read it might have a good laugh about some of the funny

things that have happened in my life! 

 Plus, as far as

the poems go, I have always enjoyed inspirational poems,

 especially my very favorite writer in the whole world,

Helen Steiner Rice, she is great!   She always makes you feel as though she is writing

her poems especially for you!  Some make you happy, some

make you cry, but they always seem to hit a personal note,

and that is an awesome talent to have!”

About the Author

I was born in Franklin, PA  on February 28, 1950.  Graduated

from Franklin Junior Senior High School in the class of 1968.

 I lived in Alabama for a year and then moved overseas to

Fischbach, Germany for 26 months at Uncle Sam’s expense,

as my husband was in the army from 1970 –1973.   Jim and I

 have been married since April 26, 1968.  I came home

5 months pregnant with our son Tim, as the army hospital was

 over an hour away over mountains roads, so I came home to be

 safe.  I went back to school to be trained in computers and

 business.  Graduating as a word and data processor.  I have

always been interested in writing poems and short stories.

I received my best  book report grades from stories that I made

 up, because I procrastinated too long to read a book J so,

 I made up my own!  What can I say, I liked writing much

better than reading in those days!

Lately I have also been enjoying my research work that I have

been doing on the Blackfoot  Indians, especially the Siksika

Tribe, (which means Blackfoot) and my bloodlines o
