Rocking Chair Recollections

The stories of this book are true. They are vignettes of my remembrances of my life during the years 1920-2011.

The stories of this book are true. They are vignettes of my remembrances of my life during the years 1920-2011. My children and grandchildren really have no idea of the many changes that have taken place in this period of time and it is my desire to give them glimpses of "life back then".There is no order of time as the stories are written as they came to my mind to write so sequence is of no concern here. That is why I have named it a patchwork as that is what it is-simply a recollection of past times and events.Some of the stories are funny, some are sad. I have tried to write them as honestly and accurately as I remembered each one. Some of them were a very important part of my life and helped to shape me to the person I am today. It was not my intention to portray myself as perfect in any way because I am not. My perception of other people in my stories is mine alone. Others may see it differently but since it is my story I have tried to be very honest and truthful in each story.It is my hope that you can picture each story as you read it. This book is my legacy for my descendants and my desire for them to know me as I lived. I ask God's blessing on this book and everyone who reads it.
