reviewed Grow Old Along With Me - The Best is Yet to Be on January 15, 2013 Grow Old Along With Me - The Best is Yet to Be
Fascinating fabric art on the cover (by Deidre Scherer)
One poem, "Pebbles and Crumbs", made me cry. But I think we CAN be remembered by passing on our cooking techniques. Already my 6 and 9 year old granddaughters can make pumpkin pie filling from Libby's canned pumpkin all on their own. Surely I will come back to them when they make that. But will I reach their children's children? My grandma comes back to me, but does she come to them? Only through the oral history, and grandma's utensils. I guess the author is right.
"Dance" gave me an answer to a question. Author Lynne Burgess says, through the character of the old woman, "It didn't get better until she stopped thinking it was her job as a mother to make Nan's life right."
I liked reading this in bits so I could give thought to what was written before reading on. There is plenty of wisdom here.
