My granddaughter was fun to be with and I told her these stories when she was a child. I loved making up stories for her & also for my niece, Amanda.
It was fun to teach her and entertain her with stories I decided to start recording some in case they would be helpful to other children. Nicole is now in her thirties and they are now published.I think children are sometimes lonely and they love stories. It is a good way to communicate with them and make them feel
I think children are sometimes lonely and they love stories. It is a good way to communicate with them and make them feel special. My dad would read to us and that is where I got
My dad would read to us (my book is dedicated to my dad) and that is where I got the idea to make up stories for my granddaughter. On my book cover, there is a picture of my dad reading to my son, Lonnie.
There are a variety of stories in the book, and what is surprising to me, is everyone picks a different story for their favorite.
Also, another surprise, people of all ages seem to like the book. That is very pleasing to me.
I hope you like it too! Let me know your thoughts!

April 26, 2017 at 7:39 pmI recently purchased your book. My daughter, 6 years old, loves your stories. The stories are short and an easy read for her age. I like the imagination it brings to her, and the morals that gives her to think about. Thank you for sharing your stories and imagination with us! You show your caring heart for children in your words. Great author!

May 2, 2017 at 2:29 amSuch warm, wonderful stories! Dee and I have similar backgrounds, so many of her stories trigger the many pleasant experiences I had as a child. So proud of Dee for being a success in the financial business… and now… as a writer!

May 5, 2017 at 6:27 pmI love Grandma Dee Dee’s stories. They are witty, fun and full of life long lessons that both children and adults can learn from. I can’t wait until my own granddaughter is old enough to understand the valuable life lessons these wonderful stories teach us!

THIS WEEKEND WE WENT TO THE APPLE ORCHARD.
I USED TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER THERE EVERY YEAR- FOR OVER 30 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS. NOW THAT I HAVE A GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER, MY GRANDDAUGHTER, NICOLE, WANTS TO CONTINUE THE TRADITION.
NICOLE ARRANGED FOR HER HUSBAND, JOE, HER DAUGHTER, FARRAH, HER DAD, LONNIE AND SHERRI, HER MOM, MAUREEN, AND MYSELF, GRANDMA DEEDEE , TO VISIT PINE TREE ORCHARD IN DELLWOOD, MN.
THE ORCHARD IS JUST BEFORE YOU GET TO WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN. THE ORCHARD HAS QUITE A HISTORY IN ITSELF. IT WAS GROWN MUCH LARGER THAN WHEN NICOLE AND I USED TO GO THERE. WE HAD A GREAT AFTERNOON THERE.
WE VISITED THE LARGE PUMPKIN PATCH. FARRAH LOVED IT AND TRIED SIT ON THE PUMPKINS. SHE SURPRISED ME WITH ALL HER ENERGY (WISH SHE COULD GIVE ME SOME). SHE KEPT HAVING FUN THE WHOLE TIME AND AMAZINGLY WAS HAPPY THE WHOLE TIME. SHE IS A VERY HAPPY LITTLE GIRL.
WE HAD TREATS AS YOU CAN EAT THERE AND THEY HAVE A PLACE TO SIT AND ENJOY THE SNACKS. THEIR PIES ARE WONDERFUL. THE CRUST IS SOME OF THE BEST IN OUR AREA –NICE AND FLAKY.
WE ALSO WENT ON THE WAGON RIDE THROUGH THE ORCHARD AND GOT UP TO DATE ON ITS HISTORY. THEY HAVE OVET 27 DIFFERENT KINDS OF APPLES– MOSTLY DEVELOPED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA THE CHILDREN HAVE TAKEN OVER AND ALL 6 OF THE CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED IN RUNNING THE ORCHARD. I MUST SAY THEY DO A GREAT JOB.
BEFORE WE LEFT, WE PURCHASE OUR FAVORITE APPLES, DOUGHNUTS, APPLE BREAD, APPLE TURNOVERS, ETC. WHAT A TREAT.
WE PLAN TO GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
