This autobiographical collection of short stories revolves around young Laura and her outlook of daily life, a lifestyle much different than today's circumstances. Sick days from school, the huge impact of the first color TV, Christmas tree lights, and the constant heartbreaking transfers of just-made military friends. Life was different in the sixties. Multigenerational living, one-car families, and well-planned summer vacations, all are great memories that are enjoyable and easy to read.
