Three tales feature guns, two concern breasts! Cat antics, ants, spiders, a neurotic mother of sons, and parents of neurotic mothers! Joys of raising children later bestowed upon grandchildren. The narrative shows the humor and sadness of ordinary people in ordinary situations, sometimes behaving in quite extraordinary ways. Embarrassing moments are shared as are more intimate accounts. These true stories span fifty-three years in the life of a widowed mother of sons and grandmother of girls and take a gigantic leap from fifties England to modern-day life. The joy of life threads throughout with special memories, fun, a little naughtiness, and complete lack of sophistication!
