The book, produced annually by the NSW Department of Communities to recognise and value the experiences of NSW seniors, is now in its seventh edition.
Writing the story as a way to celebrate her 64th wedding anniversary with husband Ian in March, Shirley – who is a member of the Revesby Writers Group – said she was thrilled it was chosen for publishing and is now feeling inspired to put more pen to paper.
Minister for Seniors Natalie Ward said the book showcases a selection of stories every year from authors aged in their sixties to nineties.
