Waste not

Another tale of Yankee frugality. True story. 

Auntie flew to New York for her operation, but it didn’t go well and she passed away. The family got word. What arrangements did the family want to make for her? And how would they get her home?

“Well,” said Uncle Nub, “she has a return ticket.”

About Becky

  • Becky has lived all her life (so far) in New Hampshire. She has written several other popular books set in her home state, including "The Best Revenge," a collection of short stories that was named one of the five Essential New Hampshire Books by New Hampshire Magazine, and "Could Have Been Worse: True Stories, Embellishments and Outright Lies." However, she is probably best known for her live storytelling events, many sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
