About the Book
Ever been In The Dog House? A perfect gift for any occasion: family, friend or comedian.
Staying out of the doghouse is everyone’s desire and countless times have we heard people mention how they either got in or were able to get out.
The book is a compilation of funny anecdotes, tips, advice, and words of encouragement for staying “out of the doghouse”. Advice comes from both male and female and is sure to bring a smile or laugh. Several blank pages are provided at the end, so you can document your own ideas or those of others that might have been missed.
When hosting our son’s rehearsal dinner, the theme for the evening revolved around this idea. We requested those attending to write down a few suggestions on how Ross could “stay out of the doghouse”. I held on to those remarks and added to them over the years. Inspired to produce a book, I talked with people from all walks of life to determine consensus on the answer.
Author’s royalties are donated to Autism Research. Not too familiar with the disease, my family became more knowledgeable with the diagnosis of our cousin’s son. The number of children diagnosed, on a daily basis is staggering and to date there is no known cure.
Just remember there is no “do over” in life ~ so live, love and laugh”!
About the Author
Becky Van Burkleo is officially a senior citizen with a passion for life. Although her middle name is Ann, it should have been “go”.
Born in California but raised in Texas, she exudes “southern hospitality” never meeting a stranger. This served her well when her first dream came true of becoming an airline stewardess. She flew for TWA in Chicago. On a trip back to Texas, she met the love of her life, Roger. They have been married for over 40 years and raised two children: Ross and Rachel. Becky was privileged to be a stay at home wife and mother. As her nest emptied, she became very active in civic projects, as well as owning and operating a travel agency. She finally retired in 2006 after working in public relations and business development for several financial institutions.
Becky and Roger retired to Kerrville, Texas, in 2007. Continuing to travel is a goal because of her new title: “Nana”. Grandson Austin lives in Texas, while granddaughter Storey Ann lives in California.
