‘Memorable Musings’ an endearing tale BY TOM VAUGHT SUN CONTRIBUTOR
Billed as a compilation of tales of the every-day critters who deliver joy and insight, the 30-page book tells about its author, former Anna Maria Island Sun newspaper contributing photographer. Edna Jane Tiemann. You might remember her as the lady who handed out food samples at the Island Publix a few years ago. For the residents who are staying home during this pandemic, watching television can get old so one might want to get outside and pay attention to the wildlife. You might find a feral cat that needs a meal or a litter of puppies that would make loving pets. Tiemann moved off the Island years ago and lives in a mobile home park in west Bradenton, where she met a whole array of critters and she named a few. She

describes them in her own witty style. She has names for most of her brood: Jay Jay and Blue Jay; Gail and Gary Goose; Elmer Egret, Daisy and Dudley Duck and more.
She has a heart for animals of prey such as Rob the Rat and Hunter Hawk. She did use rattraps when things got unbalanced and when an animal became a meal for a hawk, it was nature’s way. “I wanted to share with the readers the joy and insight every day critters deliver if we remain open and receptive to learning, from them “she said Tiemann was asked who was responsible for convincing her to write her book. “My daughter, Vicki Hill, thought it was the perfect time for me to write the book I often declared I would and a close friend Reid, Thornton in Colorado, who refers to my writing as being heart-toheart,� she said. “Each encouraged me to write the book while I was recovering from a heart attack.� To order a copy of “Memorable Musings,� email GabbyET727@ gmail.com.
