If your children or
grandchildren have ever asked you to write down what it was like in the
"Olden Days" and you are taken aback because you associate the Olden
Days with your grandparents and you are way too busy to sit and write
anyway, you might just want to buy some of these books and give them to
your family members. Simply say, "It was like this." You can then
get on with your life, and please them at the same time.So,
place your order and head out to the golf course or even go hot air
ballooning...whatever trips your trigger. Who knows? Maybe your kids
will quit stopping in every time they want to borrow your chain saw or
have a hot meal without paying. Happy Surfing! (Take it either way.)
My Best Advice
is: Don't Go Home by Steve Lang
A two-month career as a
clarinetist in elementary school, being "hitless at 29 at-bats," roller
skating straight into a wall, and being a member of the only Swedish
family in a town of Norwegians are just a few of the experiences that
Lang (a lost Swedish-American transplanted in southern Texas where his
roots are at risk and his quest for Elvis-sightings are suffering from
drought conditions) writes about in this always funny yet frequently
touching book about growing up in Erdahl (population 50), a very small
town in Western Minnesota.
