WOOF! by Robert Freeman

Posted on

Once in a while a book comes along that leaves a lasting impression on readers. Robert Freeman’s Woof! A Love Story of Dogs, Music, and Life is that book. Freeman was a music school director when he fell in love with his assistant, Carol, and spent 42 happy years with her and 17 wonderful dogs. This beautifully-illustrated book reflects on a loving marriage and the special bond that exists between people and their pets. Now a retired professor, having once led three of the nation’s leading music schools, the collective memories in Woof! help sustain Robert ─ who sadly lost his beloved wife in 2018.

Some people are born to pet all the dogs.

Carolina Dream by Connie Squiers

Posted on

Carolina Dream by Connie Squiers: The story includes much prayer, joy, and tragedy, including the burning of their stable by the disgruntled former employer. The thread throughout this book is this family’s trust in God and their faith that all things work together for the good.

Julie lived on a very exclusive Thoroughbred horse farm in Camden, South Carolina, where her father was the manager. When her mother died, it set an unusual set of events in motion. Her dad received a letter of condolence and apology from his father, who lived in Granada, Spain. He had banished his son from his life 15 years earlier. His apology for having no contact with his son was accompanied by a gift, a beautiful Andalusian mare. Surprisingly, having the new horse resulted in his firing.

Posted on

On the day you were born the angels clapped their hands and the moon danced with the stars. Welcome Miss Scarlett. It’s been a while since we held a new baby in our arms, such a fabulous feeling. Look at that face, so adorable. What a beautiful evening it was to get together and welcome this little darling.

Everyone was excited to meet those tiny little feet. Lots of laughter, joy and love filled the world.

Proud great grand parents, proud grandma, proud big sister, proud Uncle each taking a turn holding Miss Scarlett and she was happy and so alert watching us all, crying only when she wanted something to drink. Precious more than jewels.

What started as a ladies night turned into a gathering, could not keep the guys away. They wanted to meet the Miss too. Truth is the more the merrier.

a baby girl arrives and everything changes just like that. The world gets bigger, hearts grow fuller and life means more because she is in it. Because that’s what babies do.

Welcome Miss Scarlett, you have filled a space in our hearts, that we never knew was empty.
