Just a little postscript - Why BELLY ACRES? Not that we were Belly Achers or owners of acres, it was just a fun idea! When Gilman and I and our three small children traveled in our first car, “The Little Engine That Could”, looking for a house, we encountered names like “Stony Acres”, “Meadow Acres”, etc. Gilman said, “We will name our place ‘Belly Acres’.” There was much amusement after we had bought the House on Chase Road, and a friend surprised us with a beautifully lettered and decorated “Belly Acres” sign which we put outside our back door. I remember the laugh of our family physician, Dr. Philip Fortin, when he came once to see one of our children. (Yes, doctors did that at that time!) There are situations I recorded in my poems, which understandably were not exactly enjoyable for me, but I won’t bellyache about them because I hope for you, dear reader, they will be entertaining and amusing.
