Download or read book My Ruby Slippers written by Tracy Seeley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sure, there's no place like home--but what if you can't really pinpoint where home is? By the time she was nine, Tracy Seeley had lived in seven towns and thirteen different houses. Her father's dreams of movie stardom, stoked by a series of affairs, kept the family on edge, and on the move, until he up and left. Thirty years later, settled in what seems like a charmed life in San Francisco, a diagnosis of cancer and the betrayal of a lover shake Seeley to her roots--roots she is suddenly determined to search out.My Ruby Slipperstells the story of that search, the tale of a woman with an impassioned if vague sense of mission: to find the meaning of home. Seeley finds herself in a Kansas that defies memory, a place far more complex and elusive than the sum of its cultural myths. On back roads and in her many back years, Seeley also finds unexpected forgiveness for her errant father, and, in the face of mortality, a sense of what it means to be rooted in place, to dwell deeply in the only life we have.

Download or read book Adventures with Ruby Slippers written by McManus and published by . This book was released on 2022-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside of each RV fifth wheel, travel trailer, and Class A, B, or C bus, sits a variety of items that don't vary all that much. A BBQ grill, fire pit, two collapsible chairs, and a small whimsical flag are standard equipment. But, the optional equipment sets us apart from the animals. Awnings are blanketed with wind chimes and wind spinners and are accented with every conceivable playful light strand. A large carpet and portable cabana expand the living area while, at the same time, marking territory. They're edged with privacy screens, potted plants, bird feeders, solar lighting, tiki torches, and seasonal décor. Pink Flamingos, bless their hearts, are still all the rage. Tacky signs that shouldn't make you laugh but still do, give some idea of how much alcohol will be consumed at that particular RV site. Hammocks, Mexican blankets, and weather-resistant pillows turn outdoor areas into something, perhaps, a little too informal as mid-late-aged owners strut their stuff. But, it's all a good dose of unapologetic flair indicating how long said glamper intends on staying and how much effort they're willing to put into making their home away from home seem like, home. Honestly, it's enough to make the grinch look on, tap his furry fingers and say, "I must stop RVers from coming, but how?"Not unlike Dorothy donning her pair of Ruby Slippers, we entered a strange and quirky world. We would see retirees happily walking cats and pigs on leashes in Florida, and then slide into another parallel universe of eccentricity in Colorado. We even stumbled upon a rude Canadian up North, a rare phenomenon, just short of flying monkeys. And our RV and her oh-so-fragile pieces and parts? I'll just say this; it's a lot easier to load a suitcase onto an airplane and go, free and easy. But where's the fun in that? -C.L. McManus
