Book Synopsis
I have been a preacher's wife for the past 43 years. I am also a retired elementary school teacher. Over the years, I have met so many interesting people. The folks I have written about are no longer with us but they left a lasting impression upon me.
Years ago, I was invited to dinner at a friend's home. It had always been a custom of mine to take a gift to show appreciation to the hostess. However, I let time slip by, and before I knew, it was the day of the dinner, and I still had no gift. What was I to do? I had always loved to write poetry, so I decided to write a quick poem. My friend loved it!
Ever since that time, when I meet someone who inspires or impresses me, I write about them in my journal. These stories are a collection of some of those thoughts from my journal.
I hope you enjoy their stories. I included some of their favorite recipes and the poems that each inspired.
