Our book Rockin Chair Cowboys and Other Short Stories will be coming out in the fall of 2010. The collection of true stories, recipes, poetry and photographs will warm your heart with special memories of childhood, love and marriage, Grandparents, inspirational, family, everyday life, parents, animal lovers, care giving, and holiday.
We are writing partners who graduated together, lost track of each other, and were reunited after fifty years. Since becoming writing partners in Oct 2008, we have had two poetry books published--Reflections, Memories Past and Ribbons and Roses. We were able to do this with 1,100 miles between them.
Rockin’ Chair Cowboys (Excerpt)
There they sit, two old men side by side,
Talking about memories and achievements with pride.
They are known as the Rockin’ Chair Cowboys!
As they rock back ‘n forth in their nursing home toys,
These two old fellers who’ve seen better days,
you know they’ve experienced life’s different ways.
Every morning when they get up and meet in the hallway,
Biggy R. and Mickey M. wish each other a happy day.
After breakfast, together again, they return to their rockin’ chairs and once again resume their conversation man to man.
