Just Between You and Me

About the Book

This book is the fi rst of a collection of four books of columns titled Just Between You and Me, Volume I, II, III, and IV. Since I wrote these columns in the eighties, many of them concern the joys and problems of raising a family. For instance, Marion could never keep a fl ashlight, and both he and the children kept destroying my spatulas. Just beginning my writing career, I had to search desperately for a “corner” for myself. Also, I share my thoughts on a wide variety of subjects, including inspirational thoughts, some of my favorite recipes, and my experience of going to college as a non-traditional student.

About the Author

In addition to writing freelance, I have worked as a bookkeeper, a journalist, a librarian, a church secretary, a sales clerk and payroll clerk, and as Lifestyle Editor of The Easley Progress. Because I chose to stay home with my children, my entire full-time working career lasted only twelve years; my other jobs were part-time. However, writing has always been my passion. My hobbies are growing plants, both inside and out, cooking, trying new recipes, reading, traveling, exercising and spending time with family and friends. My husband Marion and I have three married children and eight grandchildren, ranging in age from twenty-four to one year. Being with them is my greatest joy.
