My overall
opinion: A book that will have you laughing from the first page! It’s
packed with 41 chapters on a huge variety of topics that you will identify
with, from “Christmas Sweaters” and “Mint Juleps” to “Robert Redford” and “Hair.”
It’s hilarious, as the above excerpts show! A book that’ll make you lean back
to laugh, then exclaim “That’s SO TRUE! But I never thought of it before!” You’ll
want all your friends to read it. It’s a great cheer-me-up if you’ve had a long
day – just pick it up, flip to any chapter, and find yourself laughing in
seconds! I highly recommend it.
Excerpt
from Miss Hildreth Wore Brown #1: I really am totally dysfunctional when
it comes to technology. The first time I tried to type a manuscript on the
computer my son walked in while I was measuring the screen with a ruler. He
totally fell out. Between gales of laughter he howled, “Why didn’t Microsoft
think of that? They could have included a ruler in every software package.”
Seems I was trying to center the title and all you had to do was click one
little icon. Who knows these things anyway?
Excerpt from Miss Hildreth Wore Brown #2: I was having trouble with dollar weeds in my grass so I went to [a
master gardener neighbor’s] plant stand. She gave me advice which I followed to
a tee. It worked beautifully. It killed every single dollar weed, as well as
every blade of grass. As we stood gazing at my brown lawn, I said to my
neighbor’s husband, “I have a great way for y’all to make your first million.
You can get your wife to give advice on killing dollar weeds and then sell sod
in her plant stand.” Like I said, they have a wonderful sense of humor if you
find brown grass funny.
