The Story: Grab your hat; you are on your way to adventure. At sixty-nine, the heroine in this story decides life is too short not to get on with living after her husband dies from Lou Gehrig's disease. Her imagination leads her to a campground full of people who own recreational vehicles. Her family dismays as she boards her new thirty-two foot motor home to hit the road, -alone. This six thousand mile roller coaster ride will leave readers scratching their heads and laughing at the same time with this neophyte in charge of the wheel. With an overly confident attitude, she learns to manage the motor home (mostly by error), maintain the various systems (in a unique way), and discover that everything comes apart on a camper but not always at the right time. As she turns this escapade into a comedy, she offers us all an uplifting message with a book that faces life's challenges squarely with courage, knowing that every minute is truly worth living.

Autorenporträt
Stepping out of her safety zone, Carolee went to college at age thirty-six to obtain a baccalaureate degree in nursing, graduating magna cum laude. Mentored by a college professor and his wife, she set her sights to obtain her degree in four years while she raised her five children. Her mentors' favorite distraction during that period sounded something like this, "keep your eyes on the end of the tunnel." The light slowly got brighter as Carolee approached graduation and she grew in understanding and self-worth. Her nursing career awarded her many opportunities to broaden her horizons as she worked on a surgical floor, lectured for the hospital's Wellness Program, became a Director of Nursing, Director of In-service and an Infection Control Practitioner. However, the inherited entrepreneurial blood ran deep in her heart and she left nursing and opened Carolee Realty Group to continue to serve the needs of others. After nine years of success, her husband was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). Unable to meet the demands of her career and be a full-time caregiver, she closed her brokerage and began to paint her watercolor illustrations and handcrafted her works. After her husband passed, she decided to travel at age sixty- eight. She purchased a thirty-two foot motor home and towed her car thirty-five thousand miles cross-country to promote her work. Her grown children gasped, "You're going to do what?" The voyage turned into the comedy of a lifetime, meeting only one turkey and thousands of eagles. Other interests are family happenings, singing (when no one is listening), playing piano, reading, computer games, and walking. Her strength of character and her belief in God are evident throughout all of her manuscripts. Carolee has five children's and eight other books on a variety topics, including a devotional. She has handcrafted her children's books to offer the unique concept of Adult Fairy Tales. Whether read to a child or by an adult, the illustrations will bring delight with a smile and the opportunity to share simple values that have been forgotten with the passage of time.
