Can you remember the first time you ever smelled bacon sizzling from
the kitchen? Or asked your mother about the "olden days" and been
relieved that she didn't actually have to eat her porridge from a
wooden bowl? Through Constance Daley's unique insights into life, we
find ourselves reflecting on our own lives and wondering how it all happened so
quickly.
But don't for one moment imagine that her columns are just works of
sentimentality. In one you will find a contrast between why Bob Hope
was wearing a girdle and the abdication of the King of England. And
in another you can read about bootleg booze and bathtub gin. There
are even columns on special effects and the cold cases of the century.
Even those daily events that we find mundane, or don't even notice at
all, make Constance Daley's pen fly into a flurry of witty and
humorous observations, unexpected parallels with childhood events, and
pithy comments on current affairs. You'll read casual observations on
intense topics.
Her articles cover anecdotes and happenings as seen and lived by
someone who is a native New Yorker transplanted to the Golden Isles of
Georgia. Delve into her stories when dealing with everyday life is
just more than you can handle. You'll be lifted by a big bunch of
bright and beautiful balloons.
