YESTERDAY,
TODAY, TOMORROW—ALWAYS A ROSE is the title of the just published
book by local Haigler author, LaNeta L. Carlock. The collection of
poetry and writings is about happiness and sorrow, celebrations and
remembrances, dreams and realities, travels and home, life and death.
Those who have read the book say the author shares her deepest
feelings and thoughts with the reader. Each line comes from the
heart. The book is a true love story and kaleidoscope of life.
The
book cover is of a rose, and the reader will often read of the
symbolic meaning of a rose and discover many a rose in the lovely
colored pictures that accompany the writings. LaNeta says, “Whether
a single rose stem, a bouquet of roses, or the roses in my gardens;
the rose has always been special to me. Tomorrow is never promised
to any of us; we should live every day as if it were our last.”
LaNeta
has been writing for more than 50 years. She is a published author
with McGraw-Hill Book Company, The International Society of Poets,
professional magazines, and numerous other publications. She
received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University
of Nebraska, and had over 30 years of experience in education and
business before her retirement. LaNeta and her husband Stan now live
in their hometown of Haigler, Nebraska. Both were born and raised in
southwest Nebraska, left after high school graduation, and returned
38 years later—in 1996. The last 16 years have been spent ‘giving
back to their community’—especially the preservation and
restoration of the One-Room Country Schoolhouse Museum and the
development of the Cornerstone Museum in Haigler.
