Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Just When U Think U Know What You're Talking About . . . Along Comes Grandpa" is one of the first books to address caregiver needs and issues in one concise story. It is the story of a relationship between two very different generations, separated by almost sixty years, which at times is funny, heartfelt, sad, and moving. At all times, it is honest-sometimes painfully honest. It is about how difficult it is to be the caregiver, the family member, the cheerleader, the doctor, the nurse, and the care coordinator. We are all those things and more when we assume the role of caregiver for a loved one. Unfortunately, the relationship changes and we no longer get to be the granddaughter, wife, mother, father, or husband when we assume the caregiver role. Sue Salach's endearing story makes the reader feel that it is OK to laugh, be angry, or feel guilty, to be frustrated, tired, sad, hopeless, and to feel all of these things at the same time, or go through the stages a little at a time. However, the most important message from this story is that we all get through it and we need to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we made along the journey.

Download or read book Okanagan Grouse Woman written by Lottie Lindley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation In this book of Native American language research and oral traditions, linguist John Lyon collects Salish stories as told by culture-bearer Lottie Lindley, one of the last Okanagan elders whose formative years of language learning were unbroken by the colonizing influence of English. Speaking in the Upper Nicola dialect of Okanagan, a Southern Interior Salish language, Lindley tells the stories that recount and reflect Salish culture, history, and historical consciousness (including names of locales won in battle with other interior peoples), coming-of-age rituals and marriage rites, and tales that attest to the self-understanding of the Salish people within their own history. For each Okanagan Salish story, Lyon and Lindley offer a continuous transcription followed by a collaborative English translation of the story and an interlinear rendition with morphological analysis. The presentation allows students of the dialect, linguists, and those interested in Pacific Northwest and Interior Plateau indigenous oral traditions unencumbered access to the culture, history, and language of the Salish peoples. With few native speakers left in the community, Okanagan Grouse Woman contributes to the preservation, presentation, and—with hope—maintenance and cultivation of a vital indigenous language and the cultural traditions of the Interior Salish peoples.

Download or read book Say it Haint So written by Maureen Hardegree and published by Bell Bridge Books. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK 3 of The Ghost Handler Series Heather's got a hunky new guy and a grumpy old ghost. First it was Jack, the hot teenage ghost. Now it's Zac, an all-too-alive bad boy. Not to mention trouble with Drew, Audrey and the usual BFF dramas. The last thing Heather needs is a new haint on the scene, especially not the ghost of her cantankerous grandfather. * Four weeks were all that was left of summer vacation, if you counted Thursday registration the first week of August, and I did. I had made some progress on the summer goal front. 1) My older sister Audrey tolerated my existence more than at the beginning of summer, as long as her friends weren't around and my geeky friend Xavier kept his distance. 2) Drew and I chatted. So at least I was on his radar. But he had a clingy girlfriend I wanted to unwrap from his frame. Then trouble arrived in a muscle car--our neighbors' bad boy grandson Zac. Audrey called dibs on him, which was fine with me. Drew made no bones about disliking him, also fine with me. But for some reason I may never understand, Zac liked freaky me. So you know what that meant--my progress with my sister and the lifeguard of my dreams reached yet another stumbling block. My problems multiplied exponentially at the arrival of another visitor and his sweet pipe tobacco scent--my ghostly grandfather. Just what I needed--a crabby octogenarian haint to complicate everything. Biography Although Georgia author Maureen Hardegree concedes to having all the usual baggage of a middle child, she is NOT a ghost handler. She does, however, believe in connecting with her inner teenager and in feeding her active imagination--it likes Italian food and chocolate. When she's not writing, she's working on costumes for the Northeast Atlanta Ballet . . . or doing the bidding of her husband, daughter, and cats Pixie and Turnip Ann.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ...when all roads come to an end, the magical road begins... This tale follows a young Indian girl who believes in the idea of a soul mate. Guided by certain dreams, she takes on the voyage of her heart, magically navigating Asia, Europe, Africa, South-North-Central America... Through synchronous events, Boi meets a mysterious man she believes is her soul mate. But then the love she’s just found is lost because of her own fears. She must battle the dark nights of her soul, or remain discontent the rest of her life. Thus begins the inner journey. Her heart nudges, and like a fallen leaf, she flies in the direction of her dreams blindly, with only signs wrapped in the sheets of desire guiding her. The day Boi decides to listen to her heart, it compels her to bare her soul naked to this man, for he is her magicNine! Over the next three years, she writes to him the story of her heart, sometimes trying to impress him with her knowledge of the universe, at other times desperate to revive her lost love, yet never giving up until the writing takes on a life of its own, and the saga of her life unfolds in the pages of this book through myriad musings mailed to him over millions of moments of madness, melody, and magic. Words flow to her from all corners of the universe, pushing her story in a collage of expressions, a piece from here, a text from there, a poem from nowhere, all of which fit the jigsaw of her life story, one she is reluctant to write... In search of her soul mate, she met with her own soul!

If the wife hasn't conceived in the first year of marriage, the marriage is annulled. During this time, no child was born, but Romke's love for Anneke overrules his mother's insistence that Anneke leave. During Anneke's parents' visit to the Veenhuizen farm, her younger sister Kea becomes close friends with Romke's brother Anton who is crippled and confined to a wheelchair. Kea wanted to impress Anton with how she could ride a pig she called Percy. Things go well until Percy decides to run though Mrs. Veenhuizen's rose garden, uprooting the bushes. That ended Kea's stay at the Veenhuizens. As Kea leaves, she and Anton promise to write each other. When Anton discovered his talent for drawing, Anneke encourages Anton to sell his drawings at the weekly market in town. There he meets Dr. Wagenaar who commissions Anton to do a series of family portraits. While working on the portraits, Dr. Wagenaar suggested that surgery could correct Anton's crippled legs. This encourages Anton to save his money until the day has arrived for his surgery, only to find the money is stolen. This is a story how Romke's faith in God's goodness helps Anton to overcome his disabilities and Anneke's Godly faith helps her until the day she becomes a mother.
