Love, Laughter and Losing my Keys: A Boomer's Guide to Survival [SIGNED]

By Emily Braddock Jones

Love is difficult enough at any age, and Emily Braddock Jones knows just how to temper the most difficult of circumstances we find ourselves in -- with dashes of humor she has regaled us with for years in her newspaper columns, which have run in nearly 40 newspapers across the country. But even Emily isn't so sure what to do when her car keys disappear!"Love, Laughter, and Losing My Keys" is a humorous, touching and absorbing collection of her published columns that do what legends like Erma Bombeck did so effortlessly: RELATE to the reader. From tips on "straightening the house" to see a college roommate for the first time in a quarter century to whether to serve a dish that should have been refrigerated but was accidentally left in a cabinet, well, you've been there - and so has Emily. You'll laugh when you find out why her flower bed caught fire in the middle of the night, and you'll shed a tear as she describes losing her beloved dog, Cajun.Illustrated with breathtaking artwork from artist Nel Slaughter, "Love, Laughter, and Losing My Keys" will take you on a year-long odyssey of themed essays (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall) before delving into Emily's current state of affairs - a baby boomer dealing almost gleefully with issues of aging. Emily pulls no punches while knocking back her daily dose of Ensure, and you'll be chuckling long after you've finished turning the pages -- as well as feeling like you've caught up with an old friend.
