                                                              How do you like the cover?

 

I want this book to bless your socks off.  I want you to go away after reading it with an attitude of just who YOU are in God. The days are gone when the enemy continues to push us around, cause us to cry and live in fear.  It’s time we now rise up and understand just whose kids we are………..if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior….YOU ARE I AM’S CHILD…..think about it…really think about it.  If your dad is Almighty God how can you be a loser?  Yes, we all have trials, but don’t your own kids have trials? BUT we can achieve so much more once we understand who is our dad……..and become personal with HIM….and that is exactly what He wants us to do…..I’m so excited about this book and helping you to understand.  Pray for me to have time to finish it..God Bless you.

It would seem that Fos and the guys go a little wild during their night out with their wives in sunny Florida.  When they do the Bunny Hop with some sweet young Florida gals the ladies are NOT amused.

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY ABOUT THESE BOOKS:

What the Heck Happened?

by Shirley P. Johnson

 

I remember my 91-year old grandmother saying to me, "When did I get so old?  Inside my mind I still feel 18."  Shirley P. Johnson's book echoes that sentiment from the viewpoint of three generations.  Although written from a fictional perspective, What the Heck Happened? hits the nail right on the head as far as aging is concerned.  The author uses humor and realistic dialogue to their best advantage as the heroine investigates her way through the aging process.  The relationship between Prissy and her patient husband, Fos, is particularly rich with detail.  The characters seem like real people.  Every reader will find at least one character that seems familiar.

 

When Prissy and her husband Fos reach "a certain age", she decides to research aging and its effect on those around her.  Her method is unscientific, perhaps, but the results are interesting to say the least.  With input from the slyly humorous Fos, Prissy gathers all her friends together for in depth discussions on aging. 

 

Ms. Johnson tells her tale with humor and a deep compassion for those who find themselves no longer blessed with nubile youth.  Aging is one of life's inevitabilities.  Her message is that we might as well accept things as they are and have a laugh or two along the way.  Thanks for the grins and giggles, Ms. Johnson,  and for answering the age-old question, What the Heck Happened?

 What's That Smell?

Second in the Fos and Prissy Series

By Shirley P. Johnson

 

This second in the Fos and Prissy series is a worthy follow up to What the Heck Happened?  This one is an outrageously funny adventure in the same vein as the Chevy Chase Vacation movies.  Anything that CAN happen, DOES happen to comic effect.

 In What's That Smell, Fos and Prissy's fortunes are expanded when they unexpectedly win the New Jersey Lottery.  To celebrate, Prissy decides they should take their odd assorted mix of friends and relatives on a Florida vacation.  Those who aren't afraid to fly book a flight - about half the happy group - while the hapless Fos drives the other half south in his van.  As always with everything Prissy plans, eventful and not necessarily fun-filled times are had by all.

 Among those packed into Fos's van are Poopsie the aptly named dog and Machine Gun Marge, the 85 year old with hearing, digestive, and continence problems.  Add into this traveling madhouse poison ivy in unmentionable places; botched motel reservations; demented red neck peach farmers; rampaging gators, bees, and fire ants; fine dining adventures; and.....Well, you get the picture.  Long before they reach Florida, Fos is taking Valium, praying for God to strike him dead, and Prissy has discovered that Florida is far from Paradise.

 

Meanwhile, the group that opted to fly from New York to Florida are not faring any better.  Those with large behinds are battling teensy seats in Coach Class.  One with claustrophobia already running amuck gets locked in an airplane bathroom.  The pretty one amongst them - the one with a Barbie Doll figure and hair that is her crowning glory - gets barfed on by the kid behind her and makes the trip with vomit in her glorious blonde hair.  Another group member has an allergic reaction.   And all this is mostly ignored by inattentive or hysterical flight attendants.  True life, right?

 

Fos and Prissy's group arrive at the airport - looking like war refugees -just in time to collect their fellow travelers, who look equally bad.  Exhausted, disheveled in their unwashed states, sporting injuries of every kind, all they have the strength left to do is sniff each other and wonder "What's That Smell?".

 

Listen, I laughed out loud while I was reading this!  Anyone who's ever taken a group vacation will relate.  Those who haven't been so cursed can use it as a "how to" manual to avoid ending up like Fos and Prissy.  The cover art is a gem, colorfully created by Susan Brown to reflect the van interior as Fos and Prissy travel with their friends.  All in all, cover art and hilarious contents, I thought it was a quite delightful package.  OK, Ms. Johnson.  I'm ready for the next adventure simmering in your devious mind.

                    OINK OINK OINK!

 

In this third installment of the Fos and Prissy series, our brave couple and their motley group of friends continue their Florida vacation.  Fos is beginning to wonder if he will ever be "normal" again.  But his foul mood is soon lightened by visions of tanned young waitresses and nubile sun worshippers on the beach.

 

Yes, even the sensible Fos - knowing full well the consequences with Prissy - gapes open mouthed at the half naked beauty around him.  He flirts.  He sucks his stomach in and thrusts his chest out, and shows more life than Prissy's seen in him for a very long time.  The oldest and wisest woman in the group shares her wisdom with Prissy.

 

There are the usual hilarious mishaps of course.  80-something Marge loses her bikini top in a shark attack.  From that point on the group is stalked by an enraged shark sporting a polka dot bikini top on his head.

Attacks by pecking birds heighten the pleasures of Florida's blistering sun and burning sand beaches.  Part of the gang get trapped in a sink hole, and even courageous firemen or State Troopers find the rescue more than they can safely bear.

 

For the married ladies, thoughts of romance and blissful interludes with their beloved husbands quickly fade.  The men-folk show themselves , ogling waitresses and drooling over tanned goddesses.  Their fates are sealed in a  bunny hopping finale with a chorus line of showgirls.  Any attempt at making up in hopes of late night romance or forgiveness is lost.

 

Darn!  I eagerly anticipated whatever paybacks Prissy and her lady friends might foist upon their groveling men.  But no!  Wouldn't you just know it.  The author saved that enjoyment for Part Four.  I can hardly wait to read what these slapstick characters get into next time around.

REVIEW WRITTEN BY: Laural Johnson, Senior Reviewer, MidWest Book Review

In this rousing finale of the Fos and Prissy saga, Fos is tired and just wants to go home.  He tries to behave himself on their Florida vacation, but can't seem to stay out of trouble.

 When Fos and his male chums go a little crazy over beach bunnies in bikinis., and are caught doing the Bunny Hop by their wives, the battle lines are drawn.  Such behavior cannot go unpunished and Prissy knows just where and when to strike.

 The ladies'  visit to the white sands of Florida goes awry.  How could Prissy know it was a nude beach?  And something simple like having their nails done and a relaxing massage  turns into bedlam when the "special attractions" are revealed.  By early afternoon, Prissy is ready to go back to their hotel and forget all about revenge, but the ladies have their pride to consider.  In preparation for their night out on the town, the 80 year old Marge decks out in hot pants and a tummy baring shirt.   Separately and together the Fos and Prissy gang meets old friends.:  a stalking shark wearing a bikini top; the beleaguered Florida State Trooper who always seems to happen onto the New Jersey tourists at the worst time; the tanned blonde haired waitress with an eye for Fos..

 While the wives go out to dinner, dressed to the nines, the men revisit their youth and "go cruising."      One shock follows another, with hilarious results. 

 I'll leave it to the readers to decide if revenge is as sweet as Prissy hoped it would be.   And guess what follows the gang back to New Jersey?  Here's a hint.  It has a dorsal fin and is stalking the New Jersey coast in a bikini top. 

 If you like to laugh, read this series.  The author has taken everyday life and transformed it into comedy
