We want to share with everyone that a valued colleague, retired occupational therapist, and former professor at the University of Findlay, Dr. Rosalie King, has authored two great reads. We have Rosalie's books, The Great Pirate Adventure!: with Ruffles, Rosie, and Taco (2023) and The Creepy House Adventure: with Ruffles, Rosie, and Taco (2024) on display in the COHP Conference room (see picture below).

Rosalie's mother facilitated her creative pursuits. A favorite activity was to create and compare drawings with her sister, who later became a scenic artist. Her father refused to purchase a television until she was 12 year's old, wanting his children to value reading. Weekly trips to the library fostered Rosalie’s ongoing love of books. That interest engendered a love for writing as well. Inspiration for her books comes from pretend play with grandchildren, her imagination, childhood experiences and an active dream life.

The Great Pirate Adventure!: with Ruffles, Rosie, and Taco

Read about how an ordinary day can turn out very differently. Rosie and her younger cousins, Ruffles and Taco, went on a hike that led to a beautiful ocean beach where they delighted in collecting rocks. But when figures emerged from the fog yelling “AARGH” they were terrified! What happened then was scary, as they were captured and held prisoner on a pirate ship. They were feeling hopeless when dolphins came to their rescue.

The Creepy House Adventure: with Ruffles, Rosie, and Taco

Read about how Ruffles, Taco and their older cousin Rosie came upon an old, abandoned house and were curious about who had lived there and what it was like inside. In the evening, they set out to explore it, knowing their parents wouldn’t approve and that they’d need to tell them about it eventually. It was a VERY scary experience! There were cobwebs, trash and dark shadows everywhere. Things got worse when Taco’s flashlight battery died with only moonlight to guide them. What occurred upstairs was horribly frightening! Despite what had happened Taco convinces the girls to return in daylight to get the water bottles they’d left behind when they’d bolted out of the house. To their surprise they discover that what had scared them wasn’t real. Find out what happened in this creepy house adventure!

We want to share with everyone that a valued friend of The Nuclear Medicine Institute at the University of Findlay Alumni Page, Mr. Tony Marini, has authored two great reads. We have Tony's books, Pennie, the Christmas Pickle (2012) and Trotter the Thankful Turkey (2024) on display in the COHP Conference room (see picture below).

Read about Pennie Pickle and her journey to become the famous Christmas Pickle. The book is beautifully illustrated and includes a page to make your own Pennie Pickle ornament. The book also has kid-friendly recipes and a song-sheet to Pennie's hit Pennie, the Christmas Pickle.

Read about an ungrateful Trotter Turkey as he learns a valuable lesson in life. Trotter is as selfish and ungrateful as it gets. On one Thanksgiving Day, a huge storm comes through town and humbles Trotter Turkey. Soon, the farm animals come together and help Trotter realize that he needs to be thankful. It's a charming book filled with wonderful characters and a delightful Thanksgiving lesson.

Through vibrant characters and captivating storytelling, Tony Marini weaves a heartwarming tale that resonates with readers of all ages. Trotter the Thankful Turkey celebrates the joy of giving thanks and highlights the power of positivity in the face of adversity. With its charming characters and uplifting message, this colorful book is sure to capture the the hearts of both children and adults alike. It will leave a lasting impression about the importance of kindness, friendship and the spirit of Thanksgiving. The book also has a place to make your very own "Thankful Feather," along with a coloring sheet of Trotter Turkey to take with you on your Thanksgiving travels. There are also kid-friendly recipes! The entire family can have fun reading the book and doing the activities--it is a great way to bring the family together!

We want to share with everyone that a valued friend of UF and the nursing program, Mr. Tony Hixon, authored a great read in 2021. We have Tony's book, Retirement Stepping Stones: Find Meaning, Live with Purpose, and Leave a Legacy on display in the COHP Conference room (see picture below).

Tony’s mother retired from her job as the director of a hospice agency, and she quickly fell into a deep depression as she lost her purpose and fulfillment derived from a lifelong career she had been passionate about. On March 22, 2011, Tony’s mother tragically took her own life. After this life-changing tragedy, Tony made it his goal to help pre-retirees not repeat the mistakes his mom made as she transitioned from her career into retirement. You need a plan for both your finances and your lifestyle.

Retirement Stepping Stones will help ensure that your retirement brings you pleasure, serenity of mind, and the enjoyment of a life well-lived. That your transition is from success to significance. That you find a newfound hope and a newfound purpose. That retirement brings you your best years.
