Moving In: Asking for Trouble

By Gene Clements

After leaving the small town where she grew up, and later raised her daughter, Betty had enjoyed twenty years of naughty adventures while living in Chicago with a man who was as offbeat, fun loving, and as full of sensuous shenanigans, as she. Now, with her soul mate no longer living, she and her daughter have decided it’s time for mom to move back to the small Illinois town of Valley Ridge, and back into her old house, now owned and occupied by her churchgoing, strait-laced, man-hating, middle-aged daughter, Katherine, who is embarrassed by her mom’s fun loving and uninhibited lifestyle. Katherine’s plan is to teach her mom the proper moral and niminy-piminy attitudes and behavior that will insure she is accepted back into her old town and settle down into a routine that will avoid bringing scandal to the family!
Each looked forward to this arrangement with a bit of hesitation. As you’ll see, this hesitation was justified.

Gene Clements

Gene Clements is an artist, architect, and educator. He began the Tilly and Elmer series by writing a couple of paragraphs about a frisky older couple. His friends thought they were funny and wanted to find out what was going to happen if he finished the story. Now they know, for better or worse.Gene grew up in a small town in the Midwest although he now lives in California. He thinks he’s eighteen, but he’s really the same age as Tilly and Elmer. These stories aren’t necessarily autobiographical. Gene knows a lot of interesting people and has a prolific imagination; a dangerous combination.
