Unpaginated. Circa 1988. Includes black and white illustrations. "As you read these stories you will join Eunice in the celebration of a special family occasion, the appreciation of places and happenings in the Orillia area, the spirit of adventure as she hunts rocks in the rain or goes whale watching on the St. Lawrence River, and the all-too-familiar agony of choosing a new car. You will experience with her the changing glories of the seasons, the joys - and one sudden heartbreak - of grandparenting, the morning eagerness of setting forth on new ventures and the quiet pleasure of arriving home at the end of the day. Woven into this tapestry of one person's life are threads and patterns that are common to us all... perhaps you will find their colours glowing just a little brighter as you look at them through Eunice Streeter's eyes." - Dorothy Stripp. Moderate wear.
