Jan Eliot's funny and irreverent Stone Soup follows the saga of an extended, blended family, starring two working-mom sisters living just across the fence from each other. Val and Joan share life with their opinionated mother, a middle-school diva and 10-year-old tomboy, a reclusive teenage boy, a wild preschooler and his new baby sister...and of course Wally, the ultimate nice guy who steps into his stepdad shoes with grace amid the chaos. Working-parent hassles, pre-school tantrums, middle-school angst, love and the single mom... it's all here in Stone Soup.

Weren’t they in financial straits? Ah, the american way; buy your way into happiness, even when you can’t afford it.

Mickjam: Theoretically, in the long run buying stuff should help them. The reason they’re in financial straits is that they’re customers are in financial straits and scared of spending money (as shown in previous customers). If they don’t buy anything, then they’re causing the stores the same financial straits. Hopefully, them buying things encourages others to buy things and this eventually circles back to them.

Sarge - I’m not sure if you meant that warning tongue in cheek or not, but thanks. it’s a good warning.

yes , sparklers are perfectly safe for children.
Nothing like a thousand degrees of searing heat to twirl around , poke at each other and throw up in the air . that just spell safety!

I’m glad that stuff isn’t legal here. My grandfather lost an arm when he was in his 20’s due to a Catherine wheel.

Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow. It’s like the time my dad brought us up to grandma’s (in ND) and we shot off a ton of fireworks! :)

My kind of family! Sigh…….I wish the city where I live would get rid of that (BLEEP) “NO FIREWORK LAW” & LET ME CELEBRATE!!!!!! It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNFAIR LIVING ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THE CITY ACROSS THE WAY ALLOWS & THE TOWN I LIVE IN BANS THEM!!! Life can be so unfair sometimes!!!!
