Over 100 Humorous, Heart Warming Stories of Middle Age Plus
published by Skyward Publishing
Book Introduction - "I was one of those people who was never going to get old. I am the youngest of a large family, married to the youngest of a rather large family, so we have always been considered the young ones. Blessed with good health, I have sailed through all the pitfalls of the aging process such as menopause, empty nest syndrome, and the realization that I am a grandparent."
"But a funny thing happened on the road to senility. I became a great-grandparent and discovered one day that I couldn't get out of a rocking chair with this new baby on my shoulder because there was nothing I could use to push myself out of the seat. I had seen others have this predicament and knew that it would never affect me that way. Obviously it did, and at the same time, I finally accepted the fact that if I wasn't old, I was at least past middle age......"
This humorous look at the aging process is a compilation of Carolyn Gray Thornton's award winning syndicated column, MIDDLE AGE PLUS, which ran in the Vernon County Record for five years and in the Nevada Daily Mail in Nevada Missouri for four more years.
