Synopsis
Move over Sweet Potato Queens and Ya-Ya's-this book shows how the SWAGs (Southern Women Aging Gracefully) have taken over the front porch. With a large dose of Southern humor, timely wisdom is offered about such topics as things never to say to a new mother ("Did you plan this baby?"), things not to say to workmen ("Just take my credit card"), Thanksgiving ("Remember that JELL-O is not a recognized food group on the FDA's food pyramid"), and rules for burying a SWAG ("Do not use plastic flowers. For anything. Under any circumstances. No matter what"). Translations are provided for SWAG-speak, such as, "She is really unusual" means "She's a nutcase" and "I am going to kill that man" translates to "He may never have sex again."
Author Biography: Melinda Rainey Thompson is the founder of the SWAG (Southern Women Aging Gracefully) newsletter. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.
