Isolation during the Pandemic vastly increased RV travel, but also created anxiety and depression. The best release for emotional distress is humor. This book presents the gift of laughter and escape, so needed at this troubled time in the world! This is the perfect read for your favorite chair or on any trip. Whether you are campers or those who prefer staying at home, it will keep all ages laughing aloud or gasping in amazement. Real Ventures: "e;Did We Really Do That?"e; describes our almost unbelievable but true RV experiences and hilarious tales from 1975 to the present. Our RV travel mileage is equal to three trips to the moon, or around the circumference of the earth's equator twenty-five times! Our nine different RVs ranged in size from a cramped seventeen 17 feet for a family of six, to thirty-six feet of luxury for two. Our adventures sometimes included a pet, friends, in-laws, a newborn baby, children, teens, the elderly, or the handicapped. We camped in every state in the continental USA, every province in Canada, all over Mexico, El Salvador, Belize, Guatemala, and some of France, Italy, and Switzerland. My husband did not like to be limited to campgrounds reserved in advance, so some of our RV overnights were quite unique (or scary). Since he was a college professor wanting to see as much as possible during school holidays, he preferred to "e;wing it"e; and exit to anywhere that looked interesting: our serendipities! These travels began when we were barely thirty years of age and continue till now, at almost age eighty. We Have Tales to Tell!!
The journey through childhood to adulthood on Manhattan's West Side is told here through the eyes of an essayist. Short stories about a life lived with the comfortable and the poor, Jews and Gentiles, people of color and White people, private and public school stories next to those about the pool hall and the bowling alley.Eighty-Third Street was in a neighborhood rich with color translated here into words providing a sometimes fun and sometimes serious view of life in the '50s and '60's. These essays are about that life and its components, the friendly and the not-so-friendly, and the growing pains.

I'm writing this book based upon how I dealt with my own childhood trauma and how it affected every aspect of my life growing up. I allowed evil to dominate and control my entire childhood, never experiencing normalcy or a healthy lifestyle. My entire childhood was robbed from me. I always prayed and begged God to save me or take me home with him. I expressed myself very aggressively in certain parts of my book. I experienced physical, sexual, and emotional abuse that impacted my life negatively for many years. This is how I coped using vulgar and inappropriate language toward the beast, never vocalizing or expressed my hurt, pain, and fear. I always internalized my inner deepest thoughts. I felt like when I called him all kind of filthy names helped me cope some. My mouth was getting out of hand if he only knew how I really felt, only asking God deep inside myself, "e;Why, God, do I speak this way?"e; I knew it was wrong. However, it gave me great relief to call him the worst names, knowing I was dealing with a crazed animal.My first book talks about a toddler learning survival skills at an early age of three and wondering if I would live another day. The abuse continued into my mid-teenage years. But the sexual, physical, and emotional abuse stopped because he was gone. The years of abuse affected me deep into my early twenties. I am writing this book to inform you that I am a survivor of a horrific case of child abuse. These tragedies I want to share with others of how I survived! My story is to be shared with any reader who wants to read about a child that endured years of torment and torture. My message is to empower any victim that suffered from abuse in their lives and help them move forward. I'm writing to help inform others of how abuse affects a child or anyone. Never allow evil to over triumph God and love!

DARE TO DISCOVER!ForewordTo best describe my reasons for writing this book and why I hope many will read it, I chose the journalists' old standbys, 'Who, What, When, Where and Why:WHO -- YOU, of course! And, yes, ME. Because of my amazing success, which I owe, first of all, to my Grandmother Alda for keeping obituaries, which included Keziah Antrim's that you'll read more about in this Opening segment. YOU because I want more people to study their ancestry and become aware of their own unique history, of which 'story' is an important ingredient--one it takes dedication and persistence to discover as many individual stories as possible.WHAT -- 'What' can refer to your goal, i.e., how much do you want to include? 'What' may mean 'What do I do to get started,' or "e;What can I expect to learn? --both initially and as time goes by. Of course, the main reason to study genealogy is to document data concerning your ancestors. However, I am amazed at how much I am learning about history, and along with local and world history, the discovery of interesting and scenic places is an added blessing. Something I didn't expect is awareness of connections among surnames and residents, many even moving long distances together is both fascinating and helpful to the story you are able to create.WHEN -- Once you have established your first family tree, the question of when ancestors came to our great country, when descendants were born and died, etc. will become your concern; and as you add earlier ancestors, you will discover how many people of a certain surname share similar names. The comparison of birth and death dates then becomes critical.WHERE -- You might ask where a certain surname was first recorded; or where you can find profiles of particular family units--My Heritage helped greatly by sending matches of other clients' profiles that help us learn something one of us has discovered that is news to the other!WHY -- The most common answer to 'why?' is probably so you can pass family history on to your children or other family members. Since I've accumulated more than I ever thought possible, a thought came to me just this week. I'll share it with you, hoping if you are blessed with a great deal to share, you'll remember this advice--WRITE WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO TELL! However, many more answers are equally important. One I wouldn't have expected to be so important to me is how much I'm learning about history! A simple one is that you may plan to travel somewhere in the world, and now you know which areas could mean most to you. A deeper result is being inspired by what your ancestors were able to accomplish even though life was much harder in earlier times than ours are today. HOW --Like most people, I would imagine, I started my family tree on paper only. Just by asking family members for their input, I was able to create a Family Tree with around 75 individuals. When my Grandma Alda died, however, I discovered she had obituaries of not only her own ancestors but those of my Grandpa Walter. You'll read more about his ancestors in the vignette entitled "e;About Those Antrims,"e;after the "e;How-To "e;section. It will give you a preview of what's in store for you in the vignettes that follow this "e;Opening"e; to "e;Dare to Discover"e;. I do hope you'll be inspired to leave a legacy to your descendants that they can leave for future generations. Judy Dimmick
As we learn to grow, some stay boys, some grow to be men. I wrote this book to introduce myself to the world and to show people that no matter what you go through, you can always change.In Death of a Boy, Birth of a Man: Blue Sky, Heavy Rain, not every day is going to be perfect. But every day you wake up is a new challenge, a chance for new opportunities, a chance to forget about yesterday's dramas and focus on newer and better things. We are human. We fear. We fall. But the one thing that makes us different is that we never give up.Honestly, we've all been there. Hopefully, my writing this and sharing it with everyone can make a change in someone's life and help them refocus. As I said earlier, the book was made not only to introduce myself but also to remind both men and women that life is about growth. I hope everyone loves it, and I thank you for giving me this opportunity.Look for my next book, White Roses, Red Wine--another book of poetry for the grown and the love seekers.
Despite all the division in the United States to racism, hatred, politics, and religion an interracial couple finds love. Blunt conversations of thought within this book would be labeled by most as a raunchy comedy. No hold barred this romance comedy pushed the limits of powerful nonstop laughter between every page guaranteed.
This cookbook isn't only about a food allergy that is more common than you may think OR just omitting onions from recipes. All recipes have been tried and tested on all ethnicities. There is something for everyone! And yes, there are recipes that people did not want to try because they were similar to ones they knew and didn't like until they tried the one I made.Having a food allergy doesn't always mean you know you have it till later on when it's more severe. Writing this has been a labor of love for food and cooking while working around a terrible allergy. There are also a few family recipes handed down from generations. I love coming up with new ideas for new recipes. Sharing my love of food with friends and family is simply pure joy. Cooking yourself can be a healthier way of living by knowing what you put in your body and making that choice.* There are dressings, rubs, and marinades--you have choices.* These recipes are spelled out for novice to expert cook/chef.* Tips and tricks to help with your cooking enjoyment/knowledge.* Family recipes: Grammy's Gravy aka Marinara Sauce, Suzie's Meatballs.* No Wussies Allowed: Spicy dishes not for the faint of heart.* We not only drink our alcohol...we eat it!A wide variety of different cuisines to choose from and try!
