Blessings

BLESSINGS is a journey that takes the reader from a great-grandfather who fought three years in the Civil War; from a 100 year old farm house during the Great Depression; to travels all over the world; and finally, to a glimpse of the future with the author's two great grandchildren. It takes you through the fun times like trying to cross into Canada in a car with the engine number filed off and only United States gasoline stamps. It tells of times when they were so lost that Bob gets out of the car and argues with the sign post. And there are the thirteen moves in the first sixteen years of marriage. It's a personal account of the bumps and joys along the road - the lasting friendships made in different towns - 89 basketball games in a single year - the year without a victory. You will relate with the author as she shares the many "blessings" that have come her way.
