Some nice things people said about me. (Thanks, everybody.)
Rebecca brings smiles, laughter and just a comfortable down home feeling to all the many guests that have joined us in our Inn for more than a decade.

Rebecca Rule has travelled the width and breadth of New Hampshire for decades listening to people's rich stories about their families and communities. In the telling of these hilariously funny and other times subtle "Yankee" humor stories the audience feels a sense of recognition, a sense of place and a connection to each other whether from away or afar.
Rebecca Courser
Warner Historical Society
Rebecca's unique gift for storytelling draws audiences in with her perfect blend of humor and heartfelt insight. Her personal stories resonate deeply, leaving listeners wiping away tears of laughter.

Rebecca Rule captures the reality of conversations and actions of the regular folks who reside here in New Hampshire. Yankees are not well known for being long winded so their comments may be short and to the point. I grew up on a very rural farm that was owned by five generations of New Hampshirites and can attest to the kinds of stories that Rebecca shares with her audience. Very entertaining.

The day of her visit to the Meeting House was a hot (very hot) summer’s day in July. . . . The Meeting House was packed. . . . She stood up front with perspiration dripping from her face, a smile on her lips telling her funny but wholesome stories. While the audience fanned themselves with the only item available, paper plates, they roared with laughter. Becky tells the simple stories of life in New Hampshire in a way that brings forth laughter and delight. . . . Her stories bring laughter to you soul.

Rebecca Rule is a favorite at the Vic Geary Senior Center. She keeps the audience engaged and laughing. . . . It’s
like having a friend stop by for a visit on a Sunday afternoon.
