A laugh for women of a certain age!, 2005-08-03
When I picked up Bolton's Growing Your Own Turtleneck...and other benefits of aging, I expected what I know. What I mean is the chapters in most humor books published by Christian houses begin or end with scripture, and the story is told and ends with what I call a wraparound-a way to bring it back in some way to faith.

Bolton's book did none of these. The chapters have quotes by famous people and the stories are just that: humorous stories that could have been published by any secular publisher. Now that's not a bad thing; it's just something I noticed. What I missed is the "moral to the story."

That said, I enjoyed the way Bolton thinks about everyday things that we all experience. And I embrace that someone will write a humor book about me-a woman of a certain age.

A few of my favorite chapters: Life in Reality (forget surviving the Australian outback, let's put a trailer in the desert, without air-conditioning and fill it with ten menopausal women!), Mind Games (physical exercise-nothing else needs to be said), and That Settles It (diets-now nothing else really needs saying here either).

The final chapters are really thought provoking and worth the read. I loved On Purpose (you have to read it, I'm not telling) and Without You (think Clarence from It's A Wonderful Life and then read the chapter, ponder and live it).

Bolton give us things to think and laugh about, and who doesn't need that!
