In 1986 the author began writing a weekly column for the Jonesborough Herald and Tribune. Since then the Erwin Record and the Mountain City Tomahawk have also picked up her column of sometimes sad, often humorous, regularly nostalgic, and always enjoyable stories. This volume is a collection of one hundred and three of her best works, covering everything from friends and family to health, laundry, growing old, and tapioca pudding. The writing, friendly and witty, is warm like a grandmother’s kitchen, comfortable like a good porch swing, and as easy to read as a love letter. It is writing that you will enjoy again and again.
