Effie Wilder encouraged by her family and friends to write books of her personal jottings and notes, has done a wonderful job of sharing the feelings and lives of some elderly people in America.
This is the fourth (and as far as I know the last) book that she wrote, well into her nineties. She has a great sense of humor and is able to put a positive note into most happenings. I have enjoyed all four books very much.

Very cute book. Much needed after a heavy read.

If someone had told me I would enjoy reading a series of books about life in a retirement community...I wouldn't have believed them! Eye-opening and funny...an enjoyable series to read.

As a caregiver I thoroughly enjoyed this book of antidotes. And now that I myself am 61 years old appreciate my clients with their lust for life. Yes it is going to get hard but her light hearted poems and attitude has helped me. I will keep this book forever and remember to read it in the later years of my life, it will put a big smile on my face.

Another fun book of memories from “The Hone.” Quick easy light reading. Lighthearted. Good for many laughs.

From the Author's Note: "There is nary a plotline in this volume." Happenings from the pages of her diary.
It's simply light reading. Senior authoress has a lovely sense of humor.

Nice “light” read

[Nancy Snow · Rating 3 out of 5]

The stories in this book remind me of the senior living community where I used to work. The stories are told with humor and kindness, and a rueful look at aging.

A cozy book for a cozy winters day

This sequel to "Older But Wilder" continues the sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious happenings at 'the home', fictional Fairacres. Written by a nonagenarian, these vignettes are true-to-life, and great to read. I loved it.

Book number four and just as entertaining as the first three. A lot of funny things happened with the folks at Fairacres. Hattie even with her health problems is still up and at it. Really enjoyed the books.

Further "adventures" of life in the FairAcres Retirement Home with Hattie and her companions.

One More Time is as enjoyable as Wilder's previous books. Even if there is not an obvious plot, the stories made me laugh more than the stories in the first three.

[Martha Savage · Rating 4 out of 5]

Last in series of 6, they are good books a little different than most but good written by lady in her 80s,

[Mary Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

For anyone in the 'sandwich generation' or older, this is a book of laughter and reflection. I highly recommend this for insight and appreciation of the art of aging.

Another fun, humorous read. It was short enough that I finished it in a single night.
