'I guess what it all boils down to'even for us old couples'is that being loved after fifty is still important.' Every week, seven retired women?Melva, the analyzing newcomer; big-hearted Judy; alcohol-loving Doris; sweet homemaker Mary Jane; pious Alice; good-time girl Lola; and Vicky, the man hater'meet for the Old Broads Breakfast Club at their retirement community in Arizona. But on this particular day, Melva has had enough. She doesn't want to talk about what life used to be like. Instead, she yearns to find the excitement that has been missing since her retirement. And she's not the only one. Six of the women agree that they don't have enough romance in their lives; to remedy this, they decide to each buy a romance novel to ?spice things up.' To further their venture, they start watching ?chick flicks? and even attend a Chippendales all-male strip show. Through it all, the seven women learn the true meaning of friendship and discover that retirement doesn't have to be life's final chapter. Geezettes is folksy, funny, and thought provoking'a tale full of laughter and tears that is guaranteed to capture your heart.Erickson Ph D, Mary Ellen is the author of 'Geezettes The Adventures of Seven Retired Women', published 2006 under ISBN 9780595385201 and ISBN 0595385206.
