O knihe

Step into the ever-changing life of a busy southern woman as she recounts day-to-day living with humor and vivid detail. As a former guidance counselor turned writer, Lisa Batten Kunkleman's book Just Because I Used to Could…Life Stories and Beyond features wise, witty, and heart-felt stories that are reminiscent of Erma Bombeck's personal essays.
Included in the collection are award winning essays Rest In Peace, a story about a toad funeral with a surprise ending, and, I Cry at Everything, which is not only accurate, but also humorous and self explanatory. Among the forty-eight tales, additional topics include: •Large families: Parenting triplets plus one more •Chewing ugly smoothies, growing muffin tops, and making the most of mammograms •Motherhood, empty nest, and pet overload •Hot flashes, turkey necks, and midlife living •Hurricanes, gators, and mayflies, oh my •The good old days of tanning and carefree living •Mom's wisdom, memory hacks, and senior moments •Realization that just because I used to could, doesn't mean I should.
Lisa has been a contributor to NPR and has oodles of untold narratives inside her head. Come up on the front porch, park in a rocking chair, and enjoy some story-swapping. Want to talk about gluten allergies, aching knees, or raising invincible kids? Need to commiserate with someone who's been there or need a shoulder to cry on? Just Because I Used To Could…Life Stories and Beyond will make you smile and maybe even start writing down some Life Stories of your own.
