About the Author

As an adult child of  parents who are in their late 80s and early 90s, I wanted to locate and read about situations dealing with elderly parents.  In my attempt to find books that gave humorous stories related to situations from everyday life, I found very few that met my needs.   In order to fill the void, it was necessary to put my thoughts on paper and compile a list of stories that I hope others can relate to in their individual situations.
