Nettie's Fountain Pen
Homespun Philosophy

Nettie’s Fountain Pen is a collection of over 200 poems written, by my Great Grandma, over a period of approximately 50 years.

The collection reflects much about family life and raising her children, happenings of the world, and her personal devotion and great appreciation to God, her Saviour, for the goodness in her life.

Even though it was written years ago, much of her thoughts can be applied to our daily living.

Chapters include:

Family
Hodge Podge
Landscape
Nature
Philosophy
Seasons
Spiritual
Travel

Spiral notebooks, once packed away in a closet, have now been compiled into this beautiful 346 page, soft-covered, perfect bound book for your reading pleasure.

Pre-orders are now being accepted. To order... print out the order form at Nettie's Fountain Pen, complete and mail back to me.

Heritage, What's It All About?

“Storybooking captures and preserves the images and stories of the events, heroes and heritage, that is lost when all that is left are the pictures.” Heritage is the weaving of our stories. It is the powerful principles and processes with which we stabilize the present. It is the basis from which we live our lives, and it is the framework upon which we build our confidence in a better future. When heritage fades, individuals, families and society lose stability and the future becomes uncertain. In our modern, fast-paced, highly diverse society, even the most fundamental family values are being challenged, and many of our most treasured family traditions are fading. In the midst of conflicting voices that challenge and threaten these basic values and family traditions, Heritage Makers calls out with a clarion message of hope to help children and adults know who they are and where they came from and to help them determine where they will go.
