In the Good Ol’ Days and The Simple Life my sister Lin and I fondly look back at being raised on a farm in the 1950”s.

Hopefully you all had a favorite aunt or uncle that enriched your life as much as mine did for me.

I pay tribute to Uncle Paul in an often humorous look back at some of the things I learned when neither he nor I knew I was paying attention.

Plus, after being a confirmed bachelor for 78 years Paul surprised us all by getting married. Enjoy the day with them as I have some fun with some of the pictures taken at Paul’s Wedding.

I also Included an A-Z Guide to a happy life which covers just about everything - well, from A-Z


During an amazing stretch during 1994 Lin and I discovered that we had 2 sisters and a brother that we hadn’t known about.

This is the story of how Family+3
