Adventures at Granddad’s House

admin — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 00:38:18 +0000

This book is loosely based on actual life stories of my childhood spending summers in Canyon, TX at my grandparent’s house. I took some liberties in the story telling to make it a little more entertaining but the events that took place are fairly actual. The two main characters are L.D. (myself) and Jaime (my cousin and best friend in life). It takes place during the early 1960’s when kids could roam around a small town on their own without fear of any wrong doing by anyone else. It was a wonderful time to be a kid. We both got into our own mischief and predicaments but all usually ended in a life lesson learned.

This is about a time gone by, when kids did not have computers or cell phones and played outside all day and went fishing and such for entertainment. I truly enjoyed writing these little short stories and reliving those wonderful memories. I hope the readers can immerse themselves into the stories and experience the memories as I did.
