Peggy
Rowe is at it again—this time giving a hilarious inside look at growing up
Rowe, both before and after Mike’s rise to fame.
Since the day they said, “I
do,” Peggy’s previous “doting” lifestyle met with her husband John’s minimalist
ways and became the backdrop for years of adventure and a quirky sense of humor
because of their differences. From thoughts of wearing headlamps in the house
to save energy, to squeezing out the last drop of toothpaste with a workbench
vise, Peggy learned to pick her battles and celebrate the hilarity in each
situation.
Once their boys were born,
woodstove mishaps and garbage dumping tales were the seed for Mike’s obsession
with doing dirty jobs and the comical presence he is known for today.
As Mike rose to fame, Peggy was
his biggest fan—who gave motherly advice and constructive criticism, of course.
She baked cookies for Mike to take to Joan Rivers for a Christmas party hostess
gift, and even wrote fan letters under faux names and mailed them from
different cities to Mike’s producer.
By the time Mike hits it big,
Peggy and John retire to face more adventures, with a lightning strike in their
condo, an elderly friend who ate marijuana leaves, and entering into celebrity
status by making Viva paper towel and Lee jeans commercials, plus so much more.
Peggy’s stories relive the
details that intrigue and entertain old and new fans alike. So if you want a
bigger, even funnier take on the Rowe family, About Your Father and Other
Celebrities I Have Known delivers.
