Life was slower, people were friendlier, more polite, and the world as a whole was a lot more naïve. This is a tale of one family and their adventures and even though Lila is the narrator she figures as only a small part of the whole.
After the chaos of raising five children she thought life would be quiet and serene but such has not proven to be the case. Having lived in nine different states she and her husband now operate a business in Garland, Texas, where they reside along with two really big, really dumb Great Danes. (Lila privately suspects they are actually members of the Blue Collar Comedy team dressed in dog suits.)
Although she has had several articles published in national magazines and in the Dallas Morning News she had never harbored secret yearnings to write a book. Even now she is amazed to realize she has done just that. Lila has an avid interest in history and is something of a trivia buff so it comes as no surprise to discover this book is packed with historical trivia.
Being a real wacko when it comes to Christmas Lila spends a good portion of each year gathering materials and setting up holiday displays. Then she and her long-suffering husband invite the neighbors in to enjoy the festivities. Her pet charity is the Ronald McDonald House in Dallas, where each December she is fortunate enough to be able to help set up the Christmas decorations for the families who stay there.ver menos
