Nokie and Rupert's Stories and Poems

Below are some of the stories and poems written by my grandmother, Norah Boehme, known as Nokie. Nokie died on Christmas day, 1995, although she did live to see this web page. She was a most loving and wonderful grandmother, and I miss her very much. I hope you get some sense of who she was from these writings.
