When I cleaned out our attic as a way to redeem the time early in the pandemic, I found much more than objects.
I found lessons learned, advice given and taken, failures and follies, successes and silly memories.
While THERE'S A CLYDESDALE IN THE ATTIC: RFELECTIONS ON KEEPING AND LETTING GO is a "memoir of sorts," it's also loaded with topics that include faith, family, farm, school days, parenting, and so much more.
My finds beg the question: What's in YOUR attic? It will be a theme I explore during this next season of sharing experiences and swapping stories at social and service clubs, book clubs, and banquets.
The book is different from my two novels, SWEETLAND OF LIBERTY BED & BREAKFAST, and the sequel, THAT SWEET PLACE: AT HOME IN THE HEARTLAND.
Check them all out and let me know what you think.
I grew up on my family's farm in tiny Union County, Indiana. Early memories include pretending that I had my own talk show where I interviewed famous guests, and pretending to "cover" a political convention.
That little girl could never have imagined that she would cover a presidential inauguration, but it happened.
Early on in life, my grandmother shared exciting stories of what our community was like around 1900 -- and way before that. Her mother had seen the Lincoln Funeral Train.
I loved the stories and at 16, while watching the dog show at the 4-H fair, I knew in a sudden "ah-ha" moment that I wanted to be a newspaper reporter, one like the intern I saw walking around with a notepad and camera.
I've never wanted to be anything else.
A career journalist, my days are now spent writing columns for several newspapers, marketing the CLYDESDALE book, and finding the silver linings around every corner. I also aim to show gratitude to the Good Lord for his provision.
It's a fun ride and if anyone asks me to speak or attend a book club or otherwise take the show on the road, my answer, if possible, is YES!
I'm active in my church, an international Bible study, a volunteer service group, and am co-founder of the writers' support group, the Writer Chicks Society.
Brian and I have been married for a long time, and pray for many more years and days of life and laughter together!
