Weis Crackers is a collection of stories that the authors family told and retold to each other every time the family gathered for any occasion. The stories were memorized by their frequent retelling, and became a part of the folklore of generation after generation. In order that future generations wouldnt miss out on the stories, Rosemary wrote them down, and now wishes to share them publicly. From her grandfathers memories of having balls of lightning bounce around the posts of his brass bed without injuring him, to her personal accounts of incidents throughout her life across her college years, marriage, and move to Florida, her stories capture life in America for an average middle class family living in a small town before the turn of the century. It is her wish that you will share the warm feelings of security and love that she acquired from these moments of her life, and catch her vision for sharing your own personal stories.
