Character Interview: Uncle Bruce Blake
Name: "Uncle" Bruce Blake
Significant Other: None, since my Margie passed.
What is your strongest belief? God uses everything.
How do you like to spend your time? With my nieces and nephews...real or 'adopted'.
If you could go anywhere, where would you go? I'd want to go to a place where everyone I love, those living now and those who've gone ahead, would be together. That's heaven, isn't it?
What is your favorite food? Hamburgers, of course.
Describe yourself in one word: Open.
What type of music could you listen to for hours? I don't think I have a preference. Not that rocky stuff kids are listening to these days, though. They're going to bust their ears with that.
Your Diner, what's the best food there? How do I answer this without sounding egotistical? I'm partial to the milkshakes.
Are you worried about anyone? Ella, sometimes. Eric, always.
Was Joe a good worker? The best.
What gave you the inspiration for the name of your diner? "The Diner"? Haha, that's just what people started calling it. I figured it fit.

What type of music could you listen to for hours? Whatever's on in the background...doesn't really matter to me.

Have you ever broken a bone? Nope!
What's your wildest dream? I don't know what you consider wild...I'm gonna be a singer/basketball star someday. I'll sing the anthem before every game!

If someone came up to you and told you there was a dragon standing behind you...what would you do? I'd laugh...then when they left I'd look behind, just to be sure.

Spiritual Invented Creation
Rivershore Books is pleased to announce the publication of Spiritual Invented Creation, an autobiography by Don Richardson. The author is refreshingly honest about the struggles he's gone through, which include cancer, drinking, and the loss of a dear friend. The book also contains much of his poetry, written during these difficulties.
Because of the content it is an emotional read, but worth it.
You can purchase this short but powerful book on CreateSpace and Amazon, for only $10:
