Acerca de esta escucha
For more than 10 years, Becky Corwin-Adams has been a freelance writer and columnist for The Farmland News in Archbold, Ohio. Her columns have appeared under the title "The Empty Nest". These columns address topics such as humorous takes on life, heartfelt dog rescue pieces, and stories about major storms.
The author reminisces about dealing with door-to-door salesmen and collection agencies. Becky's adventures included flying in a small plane to have breakfast in her hometown, and arriving at a minor league baseball game in a limousine.
Readers have praised Becky's writing. "I have enjoyed reading your columns in the Farmland News", one reader wrote. "They brought back so many good memories for me. Thank you for taking me back to a happy time of life." Another reader wrote, "It is always great to see your column in the Farmland News. I have told so many people about your writing talents".
This audiobook includes some of the best columns from the early years of "The Empty Nest". These are some of the author's favorite columns, and she hopes you will enjoy them, too.

Historia
If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And it's as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation - and dark humor - toward middle age and mortality.

Historia
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle - and people in general - has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands.

As she was digging deep into the lives of community members, Heather Lende, the obituary writer for her tiny hometown newspaper in Haines, Alaska, began to notice something. Even the crustiest old Alaskan sourpuss who died in a one-room cabin always had Halloween candy for the neighborhood kids, and the eccentric owner of the seafood store who regularly warned her about government conspiracies knew how to be a true friend - his memorial service was packed.

David and Veronica James chose to look at this next phase of life as a beginning instead of an ending. Rather than staying put and facing the constant reminders of empty bedrooms and backseats, a plan began to develop to sell the nest and hit the highway.

When best-selling mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

Historia
Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year, he was stuffed into the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director, Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next 19 years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer....

When Cara felt her teenaged children slipping away and saw an empty nest on the horizon, she decided the best way to fill that void was with dogs - lots of them - and so her foster journey began. In 2015, her Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes. There were the nine puppies at once, which arrived with less than a day's notice; a heart-worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep.

At last, together in one collection, are Lisa Scottoline's wildly popular Philadelphia Inquirer columns. In her column, Lisa lets her hair down, roots and all, to show the humorous side of life from a woman's perspective. The Sunday column debuted in 2007 and on the day it started, Lisa wrote, "I write novels, so I usually have 100,000 words to tell a story. In a column there's only 700 words. I can barely say hello in 700 words. I'm Italian."

A WaAr audio book review!
Hands down the best book that I have read by the author and I have had the pleasure to read most of them!
This is a collection of columns that has been previously published and takes us through normal everyday life of a woman, mom, wife and mother and rescuer of Cocker Spaniels!
From snow to a determined to escape her cage, we get to glimpse what life is like for this autjor with highs and lows such as saving three out of the four Spaniels she and her husband needed to go save.
From Limo rides to a game and flying to a breakfast. From thirty hour of non stopsnow to taking her mom to her mom's old highschool to building a teddybear or....well I lost count but they built a lot of teddy bears.
This is a fun short read and I had the pleasure to listen to the book on audio and this narrator really nailed the intent of the author.
I loved it. Can you tell?
