About this listen

Peggy Rowe is at it again—this time giving a hilarious inside look at her writing career.

Peggy Rowe has been writing all of her adult life. In fact, she doesn’t know how not to write—even through those years of constant rejection from publishing houses. But between her tenacity and the encouragement of her family, Peggy’s breakthrough finally came—at the age of eighty!

Vacuuming in the Nude is most likely her funniest prose to date, as she shares her journey of attending myriad writers’ conferences and honing her ability to see humor in everyday situations.

From the family’s beloved dog Shim, who thrived on piles of fresh, warm manure from the horse pasture—to vacationing on the sweltering beach with mosquitos the size of dune buggies—to the challenges of aging, Peggy Rowe delivers a hilarious array of stories that reflect her addiction to making people laugh. Even in her cancer support group, she manages to use her humor to affect others for the good.

If Peggy isn’t putting her publisher on hold to finish a game of Mahjongg, she’s at her kitchen table window-on-the-world taking notes for the next story for fans old and new to enjoy.

Warm, Funny, a Must Listen Book

You gotta admire an authoress who has such incredible gift with the written word. And written with such humor and love. And at age 84 no less.
I want to grow up and be like Peggy Rowe.

The author's voice and diction make the book so much fun!

Loved all the stories, but most of all the story about her husbands' hernia surgery had me and my nurse cracking up!

Hilarious! That's all you need to know...

I'm glad Mrs. Rowe read it herself - I can't imagine anyone else would give it just the right inflections at just the right times. She makes the listener feel like a neighbor on the sofa witnessing the action. I laughed, cried and laughed again. What a wonderful family. No wonder Mike Rowe is a national treasure!

Delightful!

Peggy is a gifted write. It’s hard to believe that she wasn’t published until so late in life. You will be thoroughly entertained with this book.

Definitely INSPIRED

I’m a fan of anyone who does ANYTHING remarkable after the age of 60! I started pursuing my dreams at 64…still working on them but I’m closer than ever before

Loved it

I am an avid reader and loved this book. The publishers from years ago didn't know what they were talking about. Very refreshing.
