Did you know that the founder of McDonald's Ray Kroc was a former piano player and salesman of paper cups and milkshake? At the age of 52, Kroc started his first McDonald's in Chicago in 1955. He built a hamburger empire by purveying small beef patties that changed American eating habits. When he died at 81 in 1984, his personal fortune was estimated at more than $500,000 million and the McDonald's chain reported $8 billion at the time of his death.

It's never too late to become famous!
Think of an idea, execute it, work hard on improving it, promote it, and persevere.
Is producing bestselling books more difficult than cooking hamburgers!
Help me promote my latest book with a good review.
NEIGHBORS AND MORE is a romantic suspense, and the first book of the High Rise Series.
High Rises are like large families where members face love, hate, meddling, and gossiping. When the neighbor who was harassing her is found dead in the Jacuzzi, Alexa is a prime suspect. Can she count on her dear neighbors, including the delectable Italian, Dante, for help? With too many skeletons in their own closets, would they save her or incriminate her?

Mona,
It sounds like you had an enjoyable morning reading and remembering the pleasure it gave your father - not productive! but very nice, just the same. lol.
Your book sounds interesting - I'll get over there and give it a review.
Thanks Patrice, I can really use a review. Reading Dad's book was so much fun. I was surprised as how some major event happened the same day in different parts of the world. The book must be at least fifteen pounds heavy.
The book you gave your father sounds like it has great life lessons. Actually, your story sounds like it does, too. Go, Mona!
I usually have blog block, too. Right now I'm reading a huge book about fairies of all kinds. It's full of interesting material. :)
To me you are already famous!!!
Hi Mary, it's the world news day by day. Amazing.
Hi Barbara, so you'll find interesting stories to share from your fairies book.
Oh Mary, you are so sweet.
i love reading tidbits like this. I heard Col, Sanders was about the same age when he started KFC. It's only too late if there are prayers being said over you.
Great post and congrats on the new release.
Hi Autumn, it just proves that dreams come true eventually.
Mona,
What an interesting blog. I love learning something new, and your McDonald's story fit the bill perfectly. I guess we're never too old to become famous. :)
