Introduction

For some time, I had been planning to write my memoirs to share with my four grandchildren, Rebecca, Allison, Baker, and Emery. I wanted them to have a glimpse into what my life was like as I went through the ages they are now.

Family and Values

Though our family was not blessed with monetary wealth, it was blessed with an abundance of love, fun, and adventures shared in a large family, long-time friendships, and life in a small town in Tennessee.

Life Experiences

Many unexpected and unique opportunities have touched my life through the years and I have shared some of them in the pages of this book.

Closing Reflection

To sum it up, The Good Lord has smiled on me all of my life and overlooked my foolishness. He has been and still is particularly kind to me.
