Is it always with brothers and sisters that there are those days when you just don't see eye-to-eye on much of anything?
It is on those days that we wonder.was I adopted or what? How in the hell did I get a sister like that or a brother like that? Questions asked with no answers found.
Then you hear someone say, "Well..you can pick your friends, however, you can't pick your family." And you laugh and say to yourself..at times I can't even pick good friends." Family members are onboard through it all..the good and the bad.
Judy Light has lived in Northern California since she was twenty-eight years old. However, she grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, attending schools and doing all the normal things a young southern girl does..and then she moved away.
This story is about the interaction over a long period of time between Judy and her brother Lonnie. The journey will take you first to their childhood days and then quickly to adulthood.
You will see how two people who didn't get along as children are more or less the same two people as adults. How circumstances and love bring these two people together and how life teaches, the human compassion of loving someone and letting them go.
The story is humorous and will tickle your funny bone.yet, at times, it will make you sad and reflective about life and how life can throw you a curve ball.
The writer writes from her heart, allowing you to see as she paints the pictures of her happiness, her sadness and the wonderful people that she calls family and friends. Read and enjoy.

Light hearted, whimsical water colors with stories and poems for each. While each stands alone, they are all connected to Twigshire, a magical village inhabited by wonderful, offbeat characters that will delight both children and adults. My purpose is to uplift your spirits, bring some smiles and, perhaps, lighten your day. Its reminiscent of "Dr. Seuss" and "Winnie the Poo."

..".fun-how often do we get to recommend poetry with that?...reckless rapture...works...Some quicker, wilder efforts are nearly inimitable...adventurous metaphors."-Fred Chappell, author, Professor UNC

..".unforced and authentic, pretty rare today...It's all in Ayyildiz's diction-style, lyric sounds...taut lines, details, images, no false word choices...incisive...real..."-William Packard, NY Quarterly

..".Joseph Heller told No Laughing Matter. Ayyildiz equals-in ways surpasses-his account in Nothing but Time."-Walter James Miller, author, NYU Professor Emeritus
