Not used to non-fiction by this author. Another book with a turtle.Summer Reading Program at the library.Costumes as Christmas gifts - I remember this from the mid-70s."She can't fit into her cheerleader uniform anymore, but she certainly hasn't been sidelined yet.""Indeed, I think my grandmother disliked those mules as much as she did Republicans and shiftless people."

This book was originally published in 1975, then updated a bit and brought back in 1992. I enjoy reading Anne Rivers Siddons so I picked up this series of essays which had previously appeared in Atlanta Magazine, House Beautiful, and Georgia. I began flipping through and randomly choosing some that looked interesting. Then I realized that they were grouped by season so I went back to the beginning and read through to the end. These portray Anne's life on a private level. We learn about her husband, home, vacations, job, stepsons and parties - just to name a few of the topics she covers. Each episode is presented in her original and humorous style. I was looking for something a bit different than my usual mysteries and romances - this was the perfect choice for me.

I loved these essays! As a Southerner, I could relate to much of what Mrs. Siddons describes.
