L'Rose Spry has been laughing her way through life, always enjoying life in rural Kansas with her extended family. This great-grandmother has been a government employee, a caterer, a musician and band leader and a writer. She's always had a great time and knows how to savor every moment, squeezing the laughter out of every pore. In fact, her favorite activity is laughing so hard she ends up in happy tears. She lives with her husband, Wayne, a retired pilot, on their small Kansas farm. In her spare time, she makes jelly and lots of cakes.
