Take a break from the fast pace of modern life to remember how things used to be in this book of nostalgic poetry. Humorous observations and wistful recollections take us from the author?s childhood home?where her father stokes the morning fire and her mother sews clothes from flour sacks?to her easy chair, where she delights in the pleasures and privileges of aging, from naps to ice-cream lunches with pals. Tin Cans and Toothpicks and Other Treasures reminds us that while times have changed, we always can slow down and savor the beauty of friends, family, and simple joys.
