A Life Remembered

During my youth, I had the loving guidance of my whole family, especially my mother. My children married and were blessed with their children and my great-grandchildren. One of my hobbies was crocheting Afghans for my family.

After my career years, my loving husband and I retired to Florida, where I became involved with the Senior Citizen’s Club of Dania, Florida, and the Lioness Club of Dania, Florida, earning the Golden Chain Award. Since then I have enjoyed many hours writing children’s stories as a hobby. Two of the books published are titled Grandmother’s Bedtime Stories, in addition to this family-oriented novel.

Cherished Memories

The author embellishes peasant times of childhood, especially the times spent helping to prepare those Blueberry or Peach deserts. Teenage friendships that grew during summer vacations and the happy fun times spent at the local amusement Park are fondly remembered. Shared experiences with close friends and members of the Lucky 7 Boat Club were full of fun, laughter, and of course hard work as each new boating season began. The past will always remain as Cherished Memories
