Let's Go, Grandma and Other Stories

Más información sobre el libro

Just like the first volume, Come With Me, Grandma, this collection is based on Binder's local newspaper column. It wants to encourage the retirement set to stay active. If you stop, you rust. In the book's first part Binder tells about the many adventures she had with her grandson, 'Chuck,' who is becoming a teenager. With subtle humor, Binder shows that their relationship is based on laughter, kidding and mutual respect. If they can try snow boarding, ride in a hot air balloon or go fishing in the rain, so can you. You have to be crazy to keep on going.In the second part the author lets us see America through the eyes of visitors from abroad, discusses how to forestall sexual harassment, ponders a life span of 200 years and portrays people playing Frisbee at the Washington Monument as symbols of our freedom.'Long Ago,' the third part, shows the low and high points when her kids were little, and how often events with the grandson are a dj vu, a repetition from a generation ago.It's a fun book, showing that age is an adventure, and many a senior can go and do the same.
