When the Saints Go Marchin' in — Catherine Ritch Guess

When Mabel, Miz Eudora's “blamed ole sister-in-law” for whom she has little use, announces she's taking over as Director of Music at First Church, Smackass, Miz Eudora stops at nearly nothing―including “jukin', jivin', movin', groovin', shakin', rattlin', rollin', reelin' and jiggin'” and being a centerfold―to stop Mabel. In the popular spirit of “goin' green,” Miz Eudora heads to Savannah to call on the spirit of Saint Patrick, John Wesley and anyone else she can find, notwithstanding a host of the city's most colorful characters and two busloads of those red-and-purple clad ladies from seven states, in her quest to “dispose of Mabel,” who is “nothin' but a snake in the grass.” As if that isn't enough, the pair treks to St. Olaf College in Minnesota to get the Lutherans to teach Mabel to sing. From “rollin' in the aisles” to finding themselves “in a pickle,” there's no lack for laughter where these two are concerned.

And beware: there's nothing “in” about Miz Eudora's “tongue-in-cheek” comments. She lays them out there for everyone to enjoy. Sit back, read, relax and enjoy―with a glass of “green” tea, of course―as you join Miz Eudora on this latest journey in “The Winsome Ways of Miz Eudora Rumph.” Oh, and for added enjoyment, you may want to have a fan handy.
