Too many older adults look upon their lives as a shrinking island to which they retire surrounded by their aches and pains, regrets, disappointments, and fears.�But not Jean and Edna.�They are two gutsy septuagenarians with a hearty outlook on life.�Like ancient seers, they have found the answers to the perplexities of daily living and they are eager to share our insight.�� In these thirty-some, laugh-out-loud essays, Jean and her friend Edna are opinionated and vociferous.�They react to everything from malls, manners, and makeup to birthdays, beauty secrets, and bras.�They take on underwear, handbags, clutter, airport security, grandkids, napping, habits, pets, health, saleswomen, travel, coffee shops, and weddings.� It took Jean and Edna 77 years a piece to figure out life, but they've done it with great aplomb.
