No “Retire” in Her Retirement: Watch Where You Step Published by Outskirts Press
In this rich, humorous, well crafted memoir, Jenepher Field takes up her husband’s mantra “You have to retire to something, not retire from something” as the two of them learn to expect the unexpected when, retiring, they open a pet boarding kennel.
Pasco, WA, October 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Jenepher Field announced today the release of Watch Where You Step, Going to the Dogs, published by Outskirts Press. In this vibrant memoir Jenepher tells of her and her husband’s struggles and successes, and the new frictions and the new appreciation between them, as they come to realize they now have, in their retirement, a full fledged business that is both full of heart and full of mayhem.
As he had many times in the course of their marriage, Jenepher’s husband Louis charms her into a brand new adventure in life, this time one neither knew anything about: building a new house and opening a pet boarding kennel in the beautiful countryside of Washington State. Swept along in a mutual enthusiasm, their new venture, and their relationship, starts to evolve in ways neither of them had imagined.
Suddenly they find themselves taking crash courses in septic system logistics, flash floods, unreliable employees, irrational pet owners and pets who could teach Harry Houdini a thing or two about the art of escape.
Watch Where You Step is not just about retirement, however. It’s not just about building and running a small business. It’s not just about all the pets who became their boarding guests. All of these things are in it, of course, but Jenepher’s story is the portrait of a marriage, decades strong, and the give and take, reach and withdraw, knowledge of when to love and when to let alone that accumulates between two souls as they carry out their original promise of “I do.”
Jenepher’s tale is a caring, but candid peek behind the daily scenes of a marriage into how a couple faces challenges and overcomes changes and how they learn to know exactly where to step to successfully navigate each new episode in their lives.
