Laugh out loud funny, but with so much heart.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Active Senior Living (Kindle Edition)
Who thought that reading about life in an independent living center would make me laugh so much. I swear I was the one needing Depends (and I'm only 42!). The characters are just that...characters! But underneath all the quirks, you can see the progression of friendship and love and support. I will be sharing this with family and friends for years to come and will use this as my training guide if I ever move to an Inn.

This is NOT "Just for Seniors"!,
This review is from: Active Senior Living (Kindle Edition)
Whether you are a Senior, the loved one of a Senior or are just looking for a "good read", this story will "warm the cockles of your heart" as well as "provide food for thought".I agree with the reviewer who campares Jan C urran's writing to Jan Koran's. Both authors understand the meaning and importance of true friendship, have the ability to deal with potentially scary life-issues with compassion and humor, and leave me hoping for sequels.

a great must read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Active Senior Living (Kindle Edition)
My name is Stan but I am NOT the Stan described in this riotous and wise book. I'm not as old as him, but after laughing myself silly and wiping a few heartfelt tears as I read Ms. Curran's book on my Kindle, I look forward to that age with a grateful smile. I had no idea that being his age(90's)could be such a rewarding and joyous adventure. Ms. Curran has the perfect formula: abundant humor, a keen and mature emotional balance and a readiness to enjoy and share with others. I hope I have learned some of these traits with this great read. Surely, if humor was gold and thoughfulness was beauty Ms. Curran's grand book would make her richer than Fort Knox and more lovely than the Mona Lisa. I hope she is there when I start my own senior living.
