Don't Forget the Coffee Pot (Hardcover)

Don't Forget the Coffee Pot is a recounting of the years away from family and friends for the first time. Getting accepted by a town of complete strangers who become like our family away from home. My husband finishes his training to be a machinist and we start a family. Three years into our life in Pennsylvania finds us with two chubby little boys and then disaster strikes as our oldest son is stricken with infantile paralysis. We face corrective operations to get him on his feet plus raising his younger brother. We experience blizzards and humid summers, purchase our first home and after sixteen years we are faced with a second tragedy that brings us back to Medford, Oregon. And to an unexpected, but positive change in our lives.
