new friends, keeping the blessing of friends flourishing. 

The Wyandotte Nation lost a great leader, Chief Leaford Bearskin, an American war hero, and a great man. 

But along with sadness comes happiness, this is the year I finished A FADED COTTAGE. 

As a writer, I think of the past more than I should. Each year that we live, we take away memories, some good and some bad from the past year, and those memories becomes pages in our book of life, pages that make us who we are, shaping our lives. 

This I leave for you, hoping your pages of memories will grow enormous in your book of life and will be full of peace, love, and hope. Thank you – tizameh (tiz a may) for being a part of my life and joining me on my new journey.
Wishing you all a wonderful and Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas


May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.

Wishing you & your family peace & joy
throughout the holidays and never forget
wishes & dreams do come true,
especially in books.

Everyone has special memories and of course, I have one memory of a Christmas in a time so long ago.
It was late on Christmas Eve, not for sure of my age, but I believe I was around five or six years old, because I remember our Christmas tree was real. My granddad Holt, every Christmas, took my brother and me to an old farm in Buck Range and we would return with a perfectly fat, fresh Christmas tree. We added the old fashion multicolored lights, as I called them swirly ice cream cone lights, and glass ornaments with scenes hidden inside and of course a lot of silvery tinsel covering the tree. 

I was tucked in bed one Christmas Eve, supposed to be asleep, but I heard voices talking in the living room. Slipping quietly out of bed I made my way to the hallway door. Slowly I peeped into the living room, my heart stopped beating, 

Hey, everyone, taking a poll, Please help!
What is your family’s traditional breakfast on Christmas morning and who makes it? 

I love traditions so I have asked around and this is some of the responsives.
