Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic caused many of us to have time to clean out closets and drawers and files. I came across the autobiography of my mother-in-law. Her story was something that I wanted her daughter and granddaughters to know. It would give more understanding to how women coped with life and the "rules" of the day. She was an educated woman and loved music and her family and literature. She could write well and wrote articles and stories for magazines and the local newspaper. I have found many unpublished stories and some poems and book reviews. They are a delight to read. She was a teacher for middle school English classes and brought literature to them in a way that was interesting and fun. Her four children all completed college and two of them went on for doctorate degrees and became university professors. There are several more teachers among the spouses and grandchildren (there were nine grandchildren).Those of us whose parents grew up in the twentieth century need to understand the immense changes to life and mores, to work and technology, to travel and world awareness. These folks coped with alterations to life that came extremely quick, and they did it well. We need to read their stories and thank them for the lifestyle we are experiencing now.

Young mateys will find plenty of holiday joy in this humorous, colorful, and thoroughly piratical version of the beloved Clement C. Moore classic. On this ship of mischievous brigands—who have visions of treasure chests, not sugarplums, dancing in their heads—you wouldn’t expect a visit from nice St. Nick. Instead, here comes Sir Peggedy, with his peg leg and hook arm, cracking his whip and driving eight giant seahorses: Salty, Scurvy, Sinbad, Mollie, Cutthroat, Cross-Eyes, Roger, and Jolly. Philip Yates’ rollicking rhymes and Sebastià Serra’s sprightly, fun-filled pictures—featuring whimsically multicolored seahorses, stockings hung on the ship’s bowsprit with tar, child-friendly pirates, and a complete treasure map—turn this Christmas perennial into a jubilant celebration!

"I couldn't wait to see what was coming next in Belle's life." - Sara Powers, elementary teacher "I loved the way she describes life on a small farm in the early 1900's." - Gwen Rice, librarian "What a woman!" - David Martin, Editor of Fine Lines Sitting at the table was a rail thin woman I'd never seen before. She had raven black hair, shapely black eyebrows, bright red lipstick, and thick pancake makeup. She was wearing red silk lounging pajamas with white polka dots. Her nails were long and also red. A large diamond adorned one finger, and numerous rings were scattered on her other fingers. The final touch was the cigarette in a long black holder.
