Sandra Butler will discuss two of her books, "The Kitchen is Closed: And Other Benefits of Being Old ” and "Leaving Hone at 83," in which she chronicles her experience moving from aging all the way to old, remembering and forgetting all the wrong things, and her frustration with technology.  In Leaving Home at 83, Butler's irreverent account of pulling up roots and attempting to replant them in unfamiliar soil illuminates some of the inevitable truths of our old and getting older lives. 

Join us as Sandra discusses her books and uses her wit and humor to bring a necessary perspective to the inevitable moment when we end one chapter of our lives and begin whatever comes next!
