Dinosaur Murt
There is a place in between remembering and pretend, a place called Memory Valley. Sometimes when you’re there, what really is gets mixed-up with what was, and becomes what could be. And sometimes things that are lost or forgotten here get rediscovered there. You might meet a Do-Do bird! Or drive a model-T car!
Once something appears in Memory Valley it is there forever. Things can always be made new again, even if they are used up or destroyed. All that is needed is for someone to remember them.

Momma had a Purple Nose!
My children are my inspiration, and my motivation. I wrote this book (Momma had a purple nose!) to help them deal with the effects of Cerebral Palsy in my life.

When I fell short of what they needed, as parents often do, I had to learn to trust God and to feed on His faithfulness. My hope is that now that they too are parents, I can inspire them to do the same.
