Product Description

Martha Bolton's observations about life and growing older nail what everyone feels but can’t express. "Who Put All This Sand in My Hourglass Figure," "When I Am Old I Shall Be Purple," and "Allow Me to Repeat Myself…Again" are just a few of the topics her fans--both new and old--will be laughing at as they nod in agreement. To complete her memorable recipe, Martha mixes in an ample sampling of poignant, touching stories, reminding readers what life is about and what is truly important.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Clean Humor, May 14, 2005

By	Lynne Chapman "lynnechapman.com" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Martha Bolton is one of those people who seems to see the humorous side of just about everything.

This book is for all of us who are over 40 and especially for women entering or experiencing menopause. All the physical and mental changes that come with aging can be depressing, but Ms Bolton shows how we can choose to look at the humorous side of it. She encourages the reader to accept and even chuckle at every new wrinkle and sagging body part.

This book is full of holsum, good-natured fun, and clean enough to give to your grandmother. Reading even one chapter a day is sure to help you out of the doldrums and remind you that God meant life to be enjoyed.

I enjoyed this book and hope to find more like it because I never want to outgrow a good laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of laughs for aging boomers, October 16, 2004

By	Janet H. McHenry "Author/Speaker" (Loyalton, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great followup to Martha's earlier book on laughing your way through middle age, "Didn't My Skin Used to Fit?" I laughed until I cried...and when I went to get a tissue, I couldn't remember why I was crying. If you suffer from memory loss or flappy arms, you'll love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hoot of a book, September 5, 2004

By	Carmen Leal (Kailua, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I stopped at the post office on my way to a book signing two hours away. Instead of the expected bills I found Martha Bolton's new book. All the way to Sarasota I entertained my husband with selections from Cooking With Hot Flashes. What a fun book. As someone who received my official AARP membership this year I enjoyed learning how profitable middle age can be.

Martha is a master storyteller who sees humor in every situation. I loved the short chapters, hysterical lists, great quotes, and everything else about this book. It seems that life is more stressful now that I have reached my middle years. Martha's book is a welcome stress break and an opportunity to laugh. Do yourself a favor and pick up Cooking With Hot Flashes. If nothing else you'll learn to laugh at the inevitable that comes with aging.
