Memories warm my heart!

Logo 10 Image 


My Father passed away when I was only two.. so I clung to my Mother who worked very hard to raise myself and three sisters.  She is my Hero.. She passed away at 92.  One of the great memories I have with her In the ("60's ) is going for a "coke" everynight at 6:00 p.m. ... she would pick up her best friend Mary from her job at the old Exchange Grocery Strore in Heber.  Mary would come out with three cold coke's and some peanuts.  I was very excited to set in the back seat of the old Chevy and listen to my Mom & Mary talk about their day and the town gossip. Mom would dirve up to the cementary and drive around as her and Mary continued to chatter.. the purpose of the cementary was the sprinklers came on every evening and they provided a great car wash.  ( being in ahh with my Mom and her friend each night.. I assumed that this is what everyone did in the evening... little did I know it was just me, Mom & Mary )

Now the tradition continues..... Meet Cache.... my two year old grandson...
Waiting for my Grandma to take me for a "Tote" ( Coke )

Saying Goodbye...continued

Welcome friends!
 I'm not really saying Goodbye ...
Here on my blog I'm actually saying
HELLO!

Below are the last two questions that
Annie (rubyslipperz) asked me in her interview about
 my book..."Saying Goodbye"

click on the link above
 to read the first part of the interview

After the questions below...you'll find something..
Yep...it's a SPECIAL something!
It's a
GIVEAWAY!


me: How did you find a publisher?...editor, illustrations…cover artwork?
Billie Jo - The cover was created by a neighbor Mr. Murray who listened to my thoughts and then showed me the results. I was thrilled! I love that hunk on the cover… who wouldn’t ? I believe that having a great editor was the thread that bound my words into a book. We laughed and cried and complained and then at the end of the day we would say good job to each other

Me: What is the thing that you like most about writing this book and having it in the marketplace?
Billie Jo - Writing this book has ended a chapter in life that needed to be closed and shared.  I have so many women who have read the book commenting that it should be a movie.. Hey.. Another dream !  The reviews I have received have touched my heart  and brought tears to my eyes.  So many ladies have a story and I so badly wanted to share mine.



The Giveaway...



It's a free autographed copy of my book!
