In the vein of Ogden Nash, Dorothy Parker, and Edward Lear,
Susan Taylor Block takes readers to the lighter side of e-mail,
beach houses, gardening, gossip, Manhattan taxis, and thinking
young in this witty, entertaining collection. Readers of all
ages will get a smile from this gift-sized volume, featuring
custom illustrations by artist Deborah Cavenaugh to accompany
each poem.
“This little volume deserves a Southern lady's three
top-tier adjectives of praise: precious, lovely, and darlin’!
Bless her heart, Susan Taylor Block has given me another reason
to take one of her books to the porch, sip sweet tea, and
be delighted by her way with words!” —CECILIA BUDD
GRIMES, author of What It Means to Be Southern and
What It Means to Have a Southern Wedding
Susan Taylor Block is author or researcher of a dozen

Deborah Cavenaugh, a self-taught artist, began painting
on Mother's Day in 1992 after her children presented her with
a box of watercolors bought in a toy store. Today her work
is widely shown in galleries and exhibitions as well as on
her website: visit www.deborahcavenaugh.com.
