I never wanted Mary Poppins to be my nanny. I wanted to be her when I grew up.

If you want to understand any woman, you must first ask about her mother and then listen carefully.

It was one of those perfect fall days when the air is cool enough to wake you up but the sun is also kissing your face.

When a shy person smiles, it’s like the sun coming out.

Of all life's pleasures, only love owes no debt to death.

The more I do bookstores, the more people come up to me from church groups. I spoke at Pittsburg State College and had 2 or 3 ministers and book groups from a couple of churches.

I pray I die before they day comes when I do not know if my sons are infants or grandfathers.
