Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

Midlife crisis or Sam’s ready to leave to pursue his dream of winning the Paris to Dakar rally.

Definitely midlife crisis, sparked by wife’s new hairstyle. Doesn’t take much to set us soon-to-be geezers off.

He had it bubbling in him for some time, the new hairstyle of his wife just set it off.

Actually, I’m glad the hair style changed (back) because I was not fan of the new (now old) haircut when she got it more than a year ago.

Personally, I think this style is MUCH better than her last hair style (the super short one).

She should grow it out long. (And bring back the high hair days of the 80’s) Yeah! ROCK ON! oops…

She looks good either way.
