A Seasoned Life Lived in Small Towns: Memories, Musings, and Observations Paperback - 2013

by Janet B. Sheridan


From the publisher

Surrounded by Strong Mountains, Determined Seasons, and Endearing Folks... Janet Sheridan's wry, often tender, observations on life draw the reader into the poignancy and fun of a long life spent in the rural west. In this delightful compilation, you'll meet a variety of mostly good people, each with their own quirks: six siblings who matured in unpredictable patterns, Aunt Beulah of girth and grace, a ninth-grade student filled with forgiveness, and the author's husband, who leaves tools and clothes in full view-so he won't forget he has them-but hides his potato chips. A Seasoned Life Lived in Small Towns is a collection of unpublished material and human-interest columns written for the Denver Post and the Craig Daily Press-all drawn from the 70 years Janet Sheridan lived as a child in Utah, an adult in Nevada, and a woman facing the reality of her advancing years in Colorado. Her work was awarded first place in Category IV humorous column writing in the Colorado Press Association's 2010 competition and first place in both humorous and serious column writing in 2011. "Janet Sheridan is a treasure. She's a skilled craftsman whose sharp intellect, creativity, and precise writing-not one word is wasted-leaves a reader wanting more. Her oh-so-lovely, mellifluous prose should be savored, like this paragraph from a 2010 Colorado Voices column: My musings about children of the world and fairness ended with the shocking sight of Ruthie Miller eating toothpaste. I corrected her in a fierce whisper, smoothed my plaid dress over my knees, and wondered if the cafeteria ladies had baked cinnamon rolls for lunch..." -Barbara Ellis, Editorial Page news editor and coordinator of the Colorado Voices program, The Denver Post. "Janet has a unique voice that meshes folksy narrative with creative storytelling. An educator by trade, her readers are fortunate she found her true calling later in life. I'm proud to be one of her biggest fans. She's a true
