For most people giving up the day job and moving to a beautiful area of France and living off the vines is an impossible but delicious dream. In 1990, Patricia Atkinson and her husband decided to sell up in Britain and emigrate to the Dordogne. Their idea was to buy a house with a few vines attached and employ someone to tend to the wine while they earned their living with some financial consultancy work. There followed a series of disasters: the stock market crashed leaving their small holding as their sole source of income; the first red wine harvest turned to vinegar; and Patricia's husband returned to Britain, unable to cope with the stress. He never returned. Patricia Atkinson, whose only knowledge of wine up to that moment was 'that it came from a bottle' and who had not a word of French, was left to salvage their life savings form the vineyards. What follows is a remarkable story of struggle and transformation whereby her tiny 4 hectare plot has become a major estate of 21 hectares, where her Clos d'Yvigne wines have won awards and been adopted by wine merchants throughout the world and where she has been hailed as a superstar by UK wine writers.
Written by the author of "The Ripening Sun", this book is her eulogy to the way of life in France. This is a testament to the timelessness of the beautiful French countryside, the bounty of the land, and the generous-hearted French neighbours who showed her that a simple life has many rewards.
Because of its many colours, the bridge connecting Heaven and Earth has come to be known as the Rainbow Bridge.Just this side of the bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills and lush green valleys. When a Beloved pet dies, this wonderful place serves as their home. There is always an abundance of food and water and warm sunshine. Old and frail animals are young again, and those who have been maimed are made whole. They make new friends and play all day.There is one thing missing from these carefree surroundings though, the companionship of their loving masters. Time passes and soon another day comes when one of them is distracted by a familiar scent. With nose twitching, ears at attention and eyes staring in delight, this one runs from the group...You have been seen.As you embrace, your face is kissed again and again and again, and once more you look into the eyes of your loyal companion.You cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.We Can Only Hope...The Rainbow Bridge was the inspiration for this book.
This is my instruction book for you. It is a "life" instruction book, THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO LIVE BUT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL. I can't tell you the last time I used the Pythagorean Theorem, but I can tell you that yesterday I bought a roll of stamps, mailed two envelopes, and called two doctors offices. Things They Don't Teach You In High School teaches you how to perform many life skills, what you need to know to do it and include links to websites. Who Should I Give My Social Security Number To? How Do I fill Out A W-4? What do I do if I get pulled over? How do I survive if I get lost in the woods? Often, education does not include life skills such as recognizing a Toxic Relationship or What Are A Landlords Responsibility.When my own children didn't know how to fill out a thank you envelope, I started asking the youth athletes that I worked with the same questions that I asked them. "What do you do if you get in a car accident?", "What Is A Credit Score?", "How Do You Open A Checking Account?" and they didn't know the answers. That set me on a mission to write a book to help emerging young adults learn the skills they need to succeed at LIFE

South Carolina Dances with Isabel Whaley Sloan

Rachel Haynie dreamed of writing this book about Isabel Whaley Sloan but died in July 2018 before it was finished so her friends joined together to finish the book. Born in Columbia, South Carolina in 1897, Isabel started teaching ballroom dancing and social etiquette when she was 17 years old in 1914. Generations of children, which included Governor Henry McMaster, flocked to her classes all over the state, and she organized dances and social events for thousands of servicemen who were stationed at Fort Jackson during World War II. Her students remember her as a tall, elegant, graciously tough teacher with a silver whistle that she blew vigorously to tame the sometimes-unruly boys and to encourage the girls to sit with their ankles crossed. After teaching dancing and manners in Columbia and around the state for almost three-fourths of a century, she died in 1991 at the age of 93. Her long-time dancing partner Simpson Zimmerman said she never retired.

A short story in the tradition of the Victorian Gothic - Christmas Ghost Story /Winter Tale... An eerie silence filled the air as she stood there motionless, frozen in a dark time, staring blankly into the foggy abyss. Tears stained her pale face with sadness, revenge frozen on her icy lips. Unfettered by the curse of time, she stands a silent sentinel over the grave of her beloved...
