Billie won first place in the Nebraska Press Women's Contest for Non-Fiction Books this year with her memoir, Bertie and Me. Her new book details home remedies, clothing of the early 1900s and the excitement of owning a "talking machine." Plenty of pictures add to the explanation of early roundups (now rodeos) and Model T’s. Billie tells how to get our tongue unstuck if you lick the "frosting" from a cold iron bolt in the middle of winter. The book also has an entertaining chapter on privies.
