This volume, highlighting posts from March 2011 to April 2012, is a tenth-anniversary tribute to the friendships, memories, and overall silliness that has become the backbone of Breakfast with Dave.
I begin writing at 85 year, old when my grandchildren wanted me to write what I did in the war in WWII. I have never written or told anyone about what I did before, but I try to put it a book. The story was alright by the grammar was trouble. After that book, I went to night school of two years and joined a writing class. I begin to like writing and today, I have four books on Amazon and in book stores. I have just turn 94, and don't planned anymore writing, so I'm sending the short stories that I have written in the book for last nine years. I hope you may like some of them. The Author
About this book, Deborah writes, "Children's responses to rhythm, rhyme, and repetition are as natural as breathing! Toss in imitation of animal sounds and the combination is a winner. Toddlers as well as young readers will love this interactive journey to find the source of music."
Paul was born in Tarsus about 4B.C.E. His father was a faithful Jew, a Roman, and a successful tent manufacturer. This book emphasizes three families and their relationship with birth, love, travel, religion, and death. The first family is that of Omar and his wife Ruth. They have four children, Aaron; their oldest son, his brother, Hezekiah, Yona the only daughter, and Paul, the youngest child. The second family is Zacharias, his wife Elizabeth, and son, John. The third family is that of Joseph and his wife Mary. They have a large family; Jesus was their first born, James, twins Salome and Thomas, Simon, and finally Judah. My story reveals how these three families were involved in the formation and dissemination of the Christian religion. It is a story loosely based on the stories of the Bible. My intent is to entertain you and hopefully stimulate your thought process, about Bible stories, by providing the human interactions concerning these three families.
For Barry Hansen, looking back in time shows him that success in life is the continuous collection of memories that make you smile. Anecdotes to Dote On is an anecdotal biography that begins with Barry's recognition that he is only here because of a double dribble-a memory that makes him smile, which he shares now.Anecdotes to Dote On offers you a window into Barry's memories from boyhood through adulthood. His boyhood during World War II was highlighted by sitting for many hours in the copilot's seat of a B-17, with occasional breaks to pretend as a bombardier, trying to focus on a Norden bombsight. Interspersed was his introduction to the making of Hollywood movies and a fascination with being in the audience of the biggest national radio shows-like watching TV before there was TV. Barry also shares his good times at college (often at the expense of his GPA) and the unexpected career path that propelled him to a fifty-year-or-so career in international cargo transport, mostly by air. Barry's anecdotes relate to events that he encountered, traveling to all of the world's continents-except to the one where penguins outnumber people.
A historical fiction transcending about 5 generations that started close to the end of the Spanish regime in the Philippines.
The Song of Our Father (cf. The Song of Hiawatha) is the story of a patriarch of the Niger Delta in West Africa, told in poetry like its homophonic cousin, and rhymed in 29 of 30 chapters. The Prologue flashes back to 1834 when the British explorer Richard Lander made his second expedition to the area and was killed while passing through the protagonist''s home town, Angiama. Interestingly, the forebears of John Lander, Richard''s brother and co-explorer - Megan and Emily - made an anniversary trip in 2004 to mark the 200th birthday of Richard Lander''s birth. The Frank-Opigo family made contact with them through the British High Commission in Nigeria to encourage them to come down the River Niger as far as Angiama, the point where Richard died. That "event" is captured in the Epilogue.Between the Prologue and the Epilogue is a microscopic story of Nigeria and the Niger Delta, told through the life of Nicholas Abo Frank-Opigo, 1926 - 2010. Snapshots of Nigeria''s pre-independence, independence, the Biafra civil war and its aftermath, are all retold in a new perspective and with fresh details. The culture of the people of the Niger Delta underline sections of the narrative. Certain previously untold details of the Biafran warlord, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, come to light, as the protagonist was one of his provincial Administrators. Above all, it is the poignant story of a man, told by his son, who grew up in challenging circumstances and rose through sheer gumption from grass to grace - to gasp.
In reality, John Quinton Amos Johnson was just an eleven-year-old in the sixth grade at Alexis D. Human Junior High School who enjoyed sports, friends, and reading mystery novels. This is a story about a boy with a vivid imagination who lets onomatopoeia, or specific sounds, trigger his imagination, helping him create a wondrous world of fantasy in which he is the hero who captures the villain and saves the day.
The story is set in rural Louisiana in the 1950s and describes the antics of young boys growing up in the South where family, hard work and a belief in God are important. It is comical by nature as it describes their attempts at relieving the drudgery and boredoms that come with living. The story follows the life of the Britton family in Catahoula Parish and their interactions with neighbors and friends. The main characters of the story are Snooks Britton and his brother Lil'Ray. Trouble seems to always follow Lil'Ray but generally lands on anyone with him. There is a bear hunt disguised as a bear hunt that turns into an encounter with a wild hog. Snooks, Lil'Ray and their friends manage to burn down an illegal whiskey operation that is tied to the Louisiana Mafia. The area is rural and poor so not only do the people work to make a living; they work hard to entertain themselves. Some of these attempts backfire creating laughable situations that make for years of good yarns at social gatherings.
Christ My Healer and Deliverer is the testimony of a woman's journey from sin to redemption. God restored her, and now she is doing what he desires for her life. "I felt as though I was having a nightmare, but that was impossible. My eyes were wide open. All the things I did were against everything I once stood for. How did I allow myself to get to this place? I loved God and had served him from my youth, but I fell right into the devil's trap. How could I be so foolish and allow a man to separate me from my God? It was so strange being where I was and not being able to hear from him. God was still there; it was me who had moved. When I finally came to my senses and called on God to help me, he lifted me out of the pit I was in. God cleansed me and got me back on track. I am now headed in the right direction and fulfilling the purpose God has for my life. I can once again walk with my head held high, because he healed me from my shame. I have purposed in my heart to never allow anyone or anything to ever come between me and God."
Following in the footsteps of Edward Gorey's Ghastly Crumb Tinies, Danny Cordova and Jacinda Jacoby's Little Darling Dreadfuls is a macabre and hilarious book of poems about extraordinary misfortunes of children. From being carried away by balloons to being taken to sea by a whale, the children in this collection all succumb to dreadful - but humorous - ends.
This book is about my encounters with famous people you all know and enjoy.
The book includes a description of the life and suffering of one ordinary human being and family during World War II and the immediate post-war years of occupation in Germany. It continues with life and work in Canada, United States of America, and other nations.
