The satirist is at war with what ails the society. Holding the errant ways of a society or that of a person or a particular cadre of the society to ridicule is the essence of satire. The art is to lay the absurdity of the subject matter bare for all to see. The vehicle with which to do this is satire. But what makes it all gel for the reader is humor. Yet this is not humor for the sake of humor, for that will denigrate the art to the stuff of joke-books. Satire is decorated humor. It is the window through which one beholds the absurd. Satire combines anger with irony and this is what suffuses through each line of the satirist's prose. This is what others have called 'militant irony'... ...If these stories seem to conjure up reality it is probably because they all have some basis in truth! How much truth? Well, you will have to read on...

An eight-year-old child in a rural community in the fifties found herself without a Mom, having to become a mom herself to her little brother and sister, with help from her two heroes. Can you imagine yourself or your child having this much responsibility at eight? This book is packed with wisdom, funny sayings, courage, faith, surrender, and a country lifestyle on a Virginia farm that will make you think about your own self and how blessed you really were.

Pisgah community and worked beside me as a veterinarian's wife. While caring for our family and home, she dedicated 27 years to education in Louisiana and Texas. Upon my retirement in March, 2007, I had completed 49 years in the practice of veterinary medicine. Even though, I am enjoying retirement, I wish that I were still practicing.

Our time has been dedicated to our families, our church, researching our family genealogies, and visiting with lifelong friends and friends who have been a part of our lives during the last 20 years in Texas.
