Description: Another in the Chicken Soup series. This one focuses on stories about and for those over 60. Another in the Chicken Soup series. This one focuses on stories about and for those over 60. Full of touching and humorous stories. I enjoy the quotes at the beginning of each story and found one I especially appreciated at the beginning of "Grandma's Garden".

Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, "Grow! Grow!" -The Talmud


I also enjoyed the story and advice contained in "Minimaxims for My Godson".

If you can't change facts, try bending your attitudes.

Don't come up to the net behind nothing.

When the ball is over, take off your dancing shoes.

Shine up your neighbor's halo.

Keep one eye on the law of the echo.

Don't wear your raincoat in the shower.
