MONDAYS, MAY 31, JUNE 7, 14, 21 & 28, JULY 5, 12, 19 & 26 & AUGUST 9, 16, 23 & 30 - 1:30 - 2:30 PM
Presenter: Madeline Kirc, SCWW Participant and Volunteer Note: No session on August 2 Brother and sister Dallas and Florida are the “trouble twins.” In their short thirteen years, they’ve passed through countless foster homes, only to return to their dreary orphanage, Boxton Creek Home. Run by the Trepids, a greedy and strict couple, Boxton Creek seems impossible to escape. When Mr. Trepid informs the twins that they’ll be helping old Tiller and Sairy Morey go on separate adventures, Dallas and Florida are suspicious. As the twins adjust to the natural beauty of the outdoors, help the Tillers prepare for their adventures, and foil a robbery, their ultimate search for freedom leads them home to Ruby Holler. AFTERNOON BOOK CLUB #2: FEEDING MY MOTHER BY JANN ARDEN “Feeding My Mother” is a frank, funny, inspirational and piercingly honest account of the transformation in Jann Arden's life that has turned her into the primary parent to her mom, who is in the grip of Alzheimer's. Jann Arden moved into a house just across the way from her parents in rural Alberta to be close to them but also so they could be her refuge from the demands of the music business and a performing career. Funny how time works. Since her dad died in 2015, Jann cooks for her mom five or six times a week. Her mom finds comfort in her daughter's kitchen, not just in the delicious food but also just sitting with her as she cooks. And Jann finds some peace in caring for her mom, even as her mom slowly becomes a stranger. The many people who are dealing with a loved one who is losing it will find inspiration and strength in Jann's wholehearted, loving response and her totally Jann take on the upside-down world of a daughter mothering her mother. “Feeding My Mother” is one heck of an affirmation that life just keeps on keeping on, and a wonderful example of how you have to roll with it. 13 WOW (WITHOUT WALLS) PROGRAM PLANNING FEATURES MEETING FRIDAY, JUNE 4 - 1:30 - 2:30 PM JOKES, ETC.
