Kate Smith introduces God Bless America
The song that swept the country during the second world war. It was such a popular song that Woody Guthrie wrote a song to combat it, he was so sick of hearing it. From my new book, out in about two months," Enchantment" , how and why my generation became some of the greatest patriots ....we had the tears in our hearts and souls for the boys who went to war, and can never forget that time.

Vacationing for about 10 days
Took a trip along the St Lawrence Seaway, it was a nice trip, not alot of traffic, beautiful scenery, especially when we got down to Rt 20 alternate and headed west through farm country to Derby, New York. I started reading again, finally, writing is taking up so much time, that my reading had slackened off, I finished Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert easy reading, and now The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson, (complicated by unfamiliar names), but a plot that is so intricate you can't wait to turn the page and find out what the 'heck' is going on. Love it and looking forward to finishing it this week.
Then, I will publish my second book called, Enchanted, A memoire of growing up in the 1940's and 1950's . How in the world did our parents keep us in a state of childhood enchantment while a war raged around us for 4 plus years til most of the world was on fire! I am scared and excited, because I think, who am I to write ? But on the other hand why not, I have a story to tell, and maybe some of you will like my story telling.
