Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Oh my goodness - my life would be empty without my Gramma. She is one of my best friends!! We go out to eat together and just "hang". She's 84 years old and comes and weeds my yard and takes care of my flowers!! It's great to have a gardener and come home to a gorgeous lawn after a hard day's work. She has been a great influence on my life ... she is so precious... I totally relate to your post about your Grandmother!! (only mine was big on getting me to eat healthy - hence my aversion to carrots!)
My grandmas were beautiful, wonderful ladies--but very different. I'm a Chex-Mex. One grandma was a Czech with hands made for farming (my mom always says that :-). She baked bread and I don't think I ever saw her without an apron. My other grandma was a Mexican dancer--can I have an ole? She rarely cooked but when she did, it was an event. Comprende?
Ahhh...thanks for sending me down Memory Lane.
By the way, is that really Dr. Feelgood in the background? Hahaha--too funny!
I couldn't wait to get home from school every day and sit with Grandma on her front porch (she lived across the street from us). A snippet of her sassy character almost always hobbles into my books. Though she died when I was in seventh grade, I'll never forget her. I loved her fiercely!
I sit out in our courtyard on a bench with my grandchildren, trying to build memories with them like Grandma made for me.
Great picture of Dave and his Grandma!
Only my maternal grandparents were a part of my life. My parents both had to leave for work at 5am, so my grandparents got us ready for school every morning. At 5am, we would have both our grandparents up with us watching the Disney Channel (they subscribed to it for us, BEFORE it was included with basic cable). I still have fond memories of my grandfather watching the original Mickey Mouse Club with us, and nothing beats a grandma and grandpa doing Mousercise.
Every morning we had grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, and home fries for breakfast. At the tender age of 8, my grandpa turned myself and my little brother on to our present addiction to coffee.
But most importantly, more than our own parents, my grandma and grandpa taught us that the sky was the limit and there was nothing in this world that we couldn't achieve.
Grandpa is no longer with us, but somehow Grammy is still hanging on at 75. She doesn't Mousercise anymore, but her presence still lets me know that I can do anything.
I think grandparents are special gifts that God blesses us all with, so we have something to fall back on when parents forget how awesome their grandparents were.
My Grammy and I have a special bond. My mom worked part-time when I was a baby, and after trying to take me to work with her (I cried constantly-demanding to be held. No sticking me in some kiddie coop alone, i wanted attention!) it was decided that Grammy would take care of me. Because of that wonderful decision, my Grammy and I are so close! My earliest memories include her, and I know I would be a completely different person without her influence in my life. Now that I'm away at college, she sends me comics and wonderful letters, and I call her often for a good 30+ minute chat.
I had a grand grandmother and now understand why she doted on me. I have a FIRST grandchild now. wow. He can get me to run races, that's for sure.
If you need Trevor pictures, just let me know!! lol
