Frozen in time, we are transported to the 1950's, a simpler time, when imagination was unobscured by reality to explore dreams and visions. The extraordinary Easter Egg Museum of Schoharie, NY is presented photographically by award-winning photographer and NASA retired rocket scientist, Dr. Joseph Heyman. This is a unique study of the creative folk-art legacy of Mildred Vrooman. In addition, her remarkable life is captured in historical research and preserved documents. Her talent is similar to Grandma Moses - simple depictions of themes - wonderfully brought to the faces of eggs. The eggs are sometimes part of a tableau, dressed elegantly as fashion stars, or as clowns in a circus, or disciples at the Last Supper. This is a unique world treasure
The Easter Egg Museum was the life-long work and passion of Miss Mildred Vrooman who died in 2012 at age 103. She along with her friend Elizabeth Warner, were inspired to create an Easter Egg tree by the 1951 Caldecott Award children's book, The Egg Tree, by Katherine Milhouse. The exhibit began with painted and dyed eggs displayed on a few trees outdoors and it continued to expand until it moved indoors to the Mary Beatrice Cushing Memorial Library in 1964.
By 2001, Mildred Vrooman, already a nonagenarian, decided to build a museum on her property for the egg exhibit. She spent a lifetime creating this unique and wondrous collection. While the display began with a few painted eggs it evolved into a wonderland of fanciful vignettes made of eggs. She depicts the Old Stone Fort along with Revolutionary War hero Timothy Murphy. The U.S. presidents up to George W. Bush are each displayed - with heads made of eggs but characteristics that enable easy identification. There is a whole circus with painted eggs including clowns, ticket takers, elephants, and seals. The old lady in the shoe is depicted, along with quite a handful of her children. The scenes include fairy tales, holidays from Easter to Christmas, religious themes including an amazing display of the Last Supper.
Miss Vrooman used small eggs and large eggs, from peahens to ostriches. Each egg was painted and then decorated or clothed. She used lace, beads, shells, fur, yarn, and sequins, anything to embellish her creations. Miss Vrooman was, indeed, a folk artist of egg artery.
The Museum has over 3,000 unique eggs. The eggs are worthy of very careful attention. Each face is distinctive and has wonderful details. No two eggs look exactly alike. In 1995 Miss Vrooman said, "You can't make 'em alike. That wouldn't be right. Each one has to be a separate character."
Miss Vrooman was creative and she had an artistic eye. Some of the eggs look like Faberge jewel boxes. Others have figures illustrating whole stories within carved eggshells. She also made egg paintings created from colored, crushed eggshells. They are mosaics made entirely of eggshells. A large tree created from wooden dowels holds 600 decorated eggs. Some are painted with Indian heads, others with birds, many have Pennsylvania Dutch decorations, and still others look like pysanka.
Since its inception, thousands of people from all over have visited the Schoharie Easter Egg Exhibit. It is a unique treasure and this legacy book provides an opportunity to share the collection with the world community and new generations.

Mildred Smith wrote this devotional guide. In 1976, she received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. A few months later, the Holy Spirit began dictating letters for her to write. As thoughts would form in her mind, with paper and pen, she would write those words down, word by word as they came to her. She did not form these thoughts by herself; they were topics about which she had little or no information. They were scripturally based, although she did not know it at the time. Some of the ideas seemed strange to her. They certainly were not her ideas.
In 1776, the United States became a nation. Two hundred years later, in 1976 after she received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Mildred started writing. She wrote these specific letters in 1999. Today, reading them is like hearing the daily news as viewed by God. Prophetic? Yes. A miracle? Indeed
The love of Jesus is evident in these letters. As people read them, they are aware of the depth of love that Jesus has for all mankind Jesus does not condemn anyone He calls and draws them into a daily walk with Him.
One of the most significant things about these letters was the loving way in which they were written. If the letter dealt with sin, it was presented in a manner that gave anyone reading the letter an insight regarding why sin offends God. The letter leads the reader to seek change away from that sin, drawing that person closer to Jesus.
Whether a person reads only one letter a day or reads the book in its entirety all at once, his or her life will be changed. It is a labor of love sent to the people of Earth. Mildred wrote daily, except Sundays or during the times when earthly matters took precedence in Mildred's life. She was never in a trance. She could answer anyone who spoke to her and then she could continue with the letter. She could write at any time that she chose. The Holy Spirit was there whenever she asked Him to talk to her.
These letters are just a small sample of the way that the Holy Spirit communicated with her. The letters are on many diverse subjects; all are related to God and the way that man relates to God. They bring wisdom and understanding about God to a world that has shut God out of daily life.
Early when Mildred began writing, Sharon Smith, Ph.D., her oldest child and only daughter, was assigned to be the Script Bearer. Sharon's assignment has now started. She and her husband, Joel M. Kestenbaum, Ph.D. are the compilers and editors. They, as did many others including Mildred's husband, Burl C. Smith, their three sons, Steve, Jeff and Phil, their spouses and their children, watched as Mildred would sit and write without any preparation or hesitation. The words were always amazing, often prophetic and always from God.
The letters are like a spiritual bath of goodness. They clean our souls as we read the thoughts that have been sent to purify us. God would speak face to face with people. He is love, see Him as such

According to national statistics, there are at least fifty active serial killers in the U.S. at any period. These murderers live among us appearing to be normal citizens until arrested, they go undetected for years, experiencing their addictive highs while causing mortal fear, pain, and death to their intended victims and creating untold peripheral damage to friends and family of their prey.
This book discloses an account of one of these monsters caught applying his hideous avocation in Huntsville, Al. in the 1980s. Excerpts from the actual trial transcript are included, the entire transcript is much too long to disclose in full
Interwoven with the murderer's exploits are the lives of four little girls who escaped the cruelty of their abusive father, only to end up in one terrible situation after another. One just disappeared, two died tragic deaths while one survived to become the unwitting teenage bride of the serial killer, living with him for years in utter fear. Hers is a story of survival. James. M. Holmes, J.D.
Are you looking for some old school scary stories? Do the newer scary stories being published today just not do the trick for you? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then Short Horror Stories: Supernatural Stories That Are Scarier Than the Dead is the right book for you. Within this book, you will find some of the works of some of the greatest horror fiction writers that history has to offer, including Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, W.W. Jacob's The Monkey's Paw, Poe's Ligeia, Ray Bradbury's The Lake, and finally, Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. These works may be old, but they have a staying power that transcends any of the literary trends of our age or any others. Horror fiction is, and likely will always be, one of the most popular forms of fiction in the world. This genre has its roots in the early Greco-Roman people and has stood the test of time for thousands of years now, hardly ever wavering throughout all of history's many vicissitudes. Fear is the most powerful emotion that we face as humans. Of all of the things that we get afraid of, there is one thing that affects us most profoundly across all of these areas: the fear of the unknown. In reading horror fiction, we are putting ourselves up against all of the things that we are unaware of, which may not only put us in a state of unease in the short term but also makes us analyze what is going on around us more closely and leads to long-term enlightenment. The plots and characters throughout this collection of short stories vary widely, from haunted houses and cursed knick knacks, to dead brides coming back to life and headless horsemen. These are, again, some of the best horror authors that history has to offer, so be ready for anything when reading their works. Start Screaming Today By Click On The "BUY NOW" Button
