But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Norma--newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage--rose to her full height of five feet and told her doctor, 'I'm ninety years old. I'm hitting the road.' Packing what she needed, Norma took off on an unforgettable cross-country journey with three professional nomads--her retired son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their standard poodle Ringo--in a thirty-six-foot RV. Driving Miss Norma is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle of their experiences on the road--a transformative journey of living life on your own terms that shows us that it is never too late to begin an adventure, inspire hope, or become a trailblazer. As this once timid woman says 'yes' to living in the face of death, she tries regional foods for the first time, zip-lines through a former stranger's yard, and reaches for the clouds in a hot air balloon. With each passing mile (and one educational visit to a cannabis dispensary), Miss Norma's health improves and conversations that had once been taboo begin to unfold. Norma, Tim, and Ramie bond in ways they had never done before, and their definitions of home, family, and friendship expand. Stop by stop, state by state, they meet countless people from all walks of life--strangers who become fast friends and welcome them with kindness and open hearts. Infused with this irrepressible nonagenarian's wisdom, courage, and generous spirit, and filled with sixteen pages of color photographs, Driving Miss Norma reminds us that life is beautiful and precious, and that family, fun, and self-discovery can happen at any age"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Prologue: Home : Baja California Sur, Mexico -- Priorities : Presque Isle, Michigan -- Exploration : Northern Michigan -- Discovery : The Heartland -- Trust : Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming -- Perspective : Boulder, Colorado -- Dreams : Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico -- Healing : Fort Myers Beach, Florida -- Flight : Orlando, Florida -- Impact : Saint Augustine, Florida -- Kindness : Hilton Head Island and Charleston, South Carolina -- Celebration : Marietta and Atlanta, Georgia -- Integrity : Newport News, Virginia -- Flavor : Winthrop, Massachusetts to Bar Harbor, Maine -- Balance : Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming -- Change : Friday Harbor, Washington -- Rest : Baja California Sur, Mexico. 600 10 $a Bauerschmidt, Norma, $d 1925-2016 $x Travel $z United States. 600 10 $a Bauerschmidt, Tim $x Travel $z United States 600 10 $a Liddle, Ramie $x Travel $z United States 650 0 $a Families $x Travel $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Description and travel. 650 0 $a Recreational vehicles $z United States. 650 0 $a Older women $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cancer $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Quality of life $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Travel $x Psychological aspects. 650 1 $a Travel $x Psychological aspects 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS $x Eldercare. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SELF-HELP $x Motivational & Inspirational. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Bauerschmidt, Norma, $d 1925-2016. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986733 600 17 $a Bauerschmidt, Tim. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986734 600 17 $a Liddle, Ramie. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986753 650 7 $a Families $x Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983765 650 7 $a Cancer $x Patients. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845411 650 7 $a Older women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199159 650 7 $a Quality of life $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085021 650 7 $a Recreational vehicles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091919 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 650 7 $a Travel $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155584 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 $a Staff pick. $5 IP 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Liddle, Ramie, $e author. 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l GVPC501 $d 20210614153553.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=28B045B0AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
