Why do people not listen when you say no? Why do they think you are too stupid or too young to understand? Why do they think you are too shy to reply? Why do they keep badgering you until you will say yes?

As readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors.

I don't remember titles of books or authors from when I was young. I remember the title of only one book, which was 'The Timber Toes.' I remember it was a family of little wooden people who lived in the woods, and for some reason that stayed with me.

I started thinking about life insurance and how nice it would be if you could get insurance that your life would be happy, and that everyone you knew could be happy, and they could all do what they really wanted to do, and they could all find the people they wanted to find.

What exactly did people do when they had all the time in the world and could do whatever they liked?

It can't be dead. It was alive just a minute ago.

Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone, but you have to go away before your head can figure it out.
