Shining with optimism & humor, the author shares with us her wise & funny observations on life. While other people collect stamps & decorative plates, she has amassed a wealth of memories & stories which she has compiled in this delightful collection of essays drawn from her experiences in home decorating, family life & the daily challenges of running a busy gourmet shop. She finds joy in observing baby birds in a nest & amusement in being mistaken for a bag lady. These are well-written thoughtful pieces that eloquently express her droll view of the world. Often compared to Erma Bombeck & Robert Fulghum, Betty focuses on the commonality of human frailty as this pleasurable collection of essays soars into the hands & hearts & homes of those who wish to playfully escape to a quieter place if only for a few moments. This book is fast reading; a book that can be put down & picked up again & again. It is an uplifting anecdote to soften life's foibles.
