they celebrated in an old-fashioned way!

Yes, we're CELEBRATING! Stay tuned! Within the quotations are references to some words which pertain to our book (and this image, in a way):

 

Old-Fashioned:

in that we're talking about a real book that one can hold between two hands!

Full Acceptance:

in that the characters in the book accept one another in an unusual, untraditional way!

Grandpa:

a "lost" character in the book.

Writing from the HEART:

every word was written from my heart.

 

"Will you love me in the good old-fashioned way?

When my hair has all turned gray,

Will you kiss me then and say,

That you love me in December as you do in May?”

~ James Walker ~

 

“Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.” ~ anon ~

 

“Whatever happened to that old-fashioned Grandpa? If he still survives, he must be hiding in the small towns. You sure don't see him very often in the big city. The big-city Grandpa has gone big time. . . . He is the life of every party . . .” ~ Hal Boyle ~

 

“The most important thing is story-telling. It's as singular and old-fashioned as that.”

~ David Soul ~

 

“My writing, like everything I do, comes profoundly from my heart. I believe that if you follow your heart you will be successful in one way or another. Old-fashioned as that might sound, the philosophy is true.”

~ Kim Elizabeth ~
