Life, I Think, Is Like A Watermelon?

Eventually a mother/columnist must put away her spyglass, tape recorder, and hidden cameras and rely on her own inventiveness. Why? Because all of her victims, I mean her children, have grown up and left home. All those years of recording details of toddler acrobats, grade school mayhem, teenagers' angst, Halloween plans gone awry when the youngsters fell asleep at the supper table, and Easter egg hunts where more time was spent hunting children than eggs, have faded into the past. Tales of her own early days as a Kansas farm kid followed. Next came stories about the 23 years spent as a military family moving hither and yon, mostly yon. Publishing details of those adventures and misadventures got everyone's attention. They tried hard to believe that the tale was about anyone in the family but themselves. Only the author knows for sure.Stumpf, LeNore is the author of 'Life, I Think, Is Like A Watermelon? ', published 2003 under ISBN 9781413704341 and ISBN 1413704344.
