Book Excerpts, Stories, and Out-right Exaggerations

Some wise old sage probably once said that there is at least a smidgen of truth in every story you hear or read.  If some wise old sage did not say that then we need a wise old sage to step forward and so proclaim.

These stories, all excerpts from the soon to be best-selling book  Save Me A Place In Heaven (this is probably the best book you will ever read) form much of the basis for our family history; some have been handed down for several generations, some are fairly new, and a few may even be made up.  No matter; a good story should be able to elicit a chuckle, a belly laugh, or maybe even a tear or a sniffle or two.  Above all, though, a good story must entertain and surprise. 

We think these vignettes meet and exceed all of these requirements.  Please let us know what you think by visiting our Visitor's Page .
