A Book for Those in Need of Outdoor Enlightenment...or a Laugh. I'm always asked to tell this story or that one. Usually I'm found fireside, flames casting shadows and me 'deep voicing' a tale with gesturing hands and rich embellishments. I love nothing more than seeing a nephew, niece or one of my children sitting wide-eyed in anticipation of my next account. Laughter and stares of bemused wonder are priceless to me, whether they be from child or adult. It was suggested that I should write some of this stuff down before I forget the many episodes that have enriched my life. I'll admit, Father Time makes all memories fade and the stories grow vague in my mind. So, here are a few of my favorites mixed in with memories from a childhood spent outdoors that were just too precious not to be included. Thanks for reading and God bless.
