Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Walking Beans" is a fun read and took me back to my days growing up in rural Iowa.
"Small Town Ghosts" brought back memories of going into town on Saturday night, attending a movie and having a soda at the drug store. And, whatever happened to orange push ups?
"How Our Dog Got His New Name" had me laughing out loud. "Watching Bonanza on Color Television" reminded me of the days before we had our own TV set and I would go to the neighbors to watch baseball on Saturday afternoons.
Every story brought back memories. This book is a very enjoyable read
