Se vuelven viejos en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

These stories were written to tell my grandkids and great-grandkids about their grandmother's childhood but became much more a teaching tool of some of the values that are being lost in our day. They provoke questions parents should answer and often don't. But mostly they show a happy childhood with a little adventure thrown and a bit of the wry sense of humor I inherited from my dad. I hope parents will read them to their children and be with them at bedtime. The stories are mostly true, but my memory is unsure of conversations and who did what, so they aren't exact. I was born just before World War II, and for the most part, these stories are just after it ended. The settings are Andrews, Texas, and Carlsbad, New Mexico. There were no TVs and cell phones back then.

¿¿Now in my eighties, I met scores of famous people within the motorcycle and car racing world and became lifelong friends with many of them. I'd work and professionally road race for the Honda, Yamaha, and Bridgestone factory teams, win national championships for two of them, and be associated with Bombardier, maker of Ski-Doo snowmobiles and Sea-Doo watercraft when they undertook the development and manufacture of the Can-Am, a North American off-road motorcycle to challenge the Japanese. I'd also spend forty-years importing Bombardier-Rotax racing engines from Austria. I'd do motorcycle development projects for several other manufacturers and even a motorcycle project for General Motors, then the largest corporation the world had ever known. I'd win the Baja 500 off-road car race for another automobile manufacturer, American Motors, on a team sponsored by film star James Garner, with teammate Bob Bondurant, a former Formula 1 race car driver. But all that was yet to come and in no way could I have portended what excitement, success, and personal notoriety lay ahead in my then-young life.I'd become living proof that the United States was truly the land of opportunity. If one was prepared to be dedicated and work hard, almost any dream could come true.

He named the puppy Fortune.William and Fortune enjoyed a mutually satisfying life together until Carolyn James, a battered and abused wife on the run from her husband, literally crashed into their lives.

Unicorn Dreams is an amusing family saga about the Andros family as seen through the eyes of Edward, its youngest member. He begins his reminiscences in the year 1980 when the sight of so many unicorns on department store shelves causes him to recall his sister-in-law, Alissa, who had a special connection with that heraldic beast. It is the impact of Alissa on various family members which is the backbone of the novel. Whether seen as saint or sinner, no one remains indifferent to Alissa.Among the various family members who are affected by Alissa is Eleanor Andros, matriarch of the clan. She often compares herself to Eleanor of Aquitaine whom, despite what the historians say, she refers to as "that dear saintly queen." There's Arthur, Alissa's husband, eldest son and heir to the family business who deserted the clan with nary a backward glance. Next comes Richard, recluse and malcontent, who especially despises Alissa whom he blames for Arthur's alienation and the subsequent destruction of his dreams of a promising music career. John is the black sheep of the family whose selfish behavior is the biggest thorn in Eleanor's side. Lastly, there's Edward himself, struggling against family opposition and resentment to become a doctor during the difficult Depression years.Besides the immediate family, members of the extended family are also drawn into Alissa's web. There's lovable obese Uncle Theo whose ideas are as outrageous as his thickly Greek-accented English. Eleanor's half brother, Teddy Busby, bon vivant and ladies' man, is attracted by Alissa's lure. While his daughter, Melinda, shares his infatuation, his son, Roderick, is determined to play Mordred in Alissa's Camelot.These are a few of the characters who are woven into the tangled tapestry of the Andros family's life as they struggle together, and sometimes against each other, to survive bootlegging, prohibition, the Depression, World War II, and all the crises which affect everyone throughout a lifetime. Whether laughing together at a family dinner, attending a lavish Elizabethan costume party, or suffering together through the losses of death and divorce, Alissa's influence, for good or bad, is profoundly felt by everyone.

El libro de Apocalipsis o la revelacion del Senor Jesucristo, no es solamente un libro de malas noticias, de juicios, epidemias, de grandes cataclismos cosmicos y de un futuro gobierno mundialmente tenebroso. Tambien es el mensaje del mas grande amor que pueda existir, el amor de Dios para salvar a la humanidad del terrible final que tendran que enfrentar todos aquellos que no quisieron creer en el Senor Jesucristo y prefirieron alejarse de el. Es un libro que vale la pena estudiar por la ubicacion que tiene justo al final de los evangelios y de las epistolas. Ademas, porque representa el ultimo acto para poder completar el evangelio del Senor Jesucristo y porque es el unico libro de la Biblia que habla del principio y del final de todos los tiempos.

But recently, their village has sustained damage brought on by the infidelity of one of its most important members. Because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, the bond that held the family together begins to unravel, bringing changes both good and bad.As some of the changes begin to threaten the well-being of the village, a distressful event results in a cry for help that brings a mysterious group of family elders into the situation.

The Harbingers of Spring is fiction and is a tale of hope set in the surroundings of the author's grandfather's farm in Brown County, Indiana, of memories from the first decades of his life, born of childhood loneliness, amid things he would do if he had the choice to get people to come and visit. This book follows decades of the development of a festival in the Sweetwater Creek valley. It is a presentation of equality and diversity that follows a girl and boy in their pursuit of forbidden love. It presents a global input into a microcosm while the harbingers of spring, from the constellations to the flowers to the wildlife, to annual happenings, mark the growth and education of the two main characters.This education is punctuated by the genetic development of a grand champion bull and a bloodline of prized cattle and the production of mules. A world court is depicted that hears cases of the lovelorn, annually, and gives opinions up to and including the provision of weddings. The book depicts the conversations of all introduced characters from wherever to the constants of the rural setting: the rules of bathing on the porch in a washtub and spitting on one's finger to entice the butterflies and making a bed of two pairs of pants for lovemaking. The story expands out of harsh fundamentalism, the ugliness of the gangs of Great Britain, the old assertion that behind every great fortune lies a crime (Balzac 1834), the drug cartels, and the systematic destruction in the prisoner of war camps. Love does triumph. The driving force of the girl protagonist is the belief that if you have been denied of your own dreams, you should do whatever you can to help others not be denied their dreams.The Harbingers of Spring is a retelling of stories made up by the author to maintain interest by his wife in fighting leukemia, born of desperation--an effort to entice her to want to hang on, just to hear one more story, and a plea for her to continue to live.
Have you ever been trapped or confined in the beliefs and fear of others?She was a little girl who was trapped in a cocoon, knowing her capabilities but scared to evolve. She grew comfortable in discomfort; she shrank herself to fit that space that she no longer belonged until that discomfort could no longer be contained. Her walls became her enemy until she broke the casing from within. Her wings she must spread. A beautiful butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. She questioned her existence, until her purpose she found. Her thoughts and expressions were all gloomy, but also, it was her reality. Emotions, though not felt in a physical way, manifested in a physical way. She explored, and even with a broken wing, she soared. She began her hero's journey to become her own real-life hero.
