Dancing With Butterflies

In this collection of 101 stories, Jim Bates touches on the simple moments of life, sometimes memorable, sometimes nearly forgotten, but always meaningful. Memories abound:  building model airplanes, learning to bake oatmeal cookies, walking in the woods, summers spent at an aunt and uncle’s cabin, graduating from college, raising a family, and dealing with the death of a loved one. All these stories are lovingly written. They bring to mind the importance of taking the time to consider what is truly meaningful in one's life; what is truly important. Ultimately, though, they deal with love and relationships and what it means to be human in this day and age.  The journey through life can be quite the ride. Join Jim on this one.
