After a diagnosis of terminal cancer, ninety-year-old Norma Bauerschmidt said 'Yes' to life, even in the face of death, and embarked on an extraordinary year-long road trip with her son, daughter-in-law and outsize poodle Ringo. This is her uplifting story.
Tim Bauerschmidt (Author)
Like most people who find themselves caring for one or both of
their elderly parents, Tim and Ramie were not experts in the field.
Ramie was a high school counselor with a background in parks and
recreation; Tim tabled his journalism degree to remodel homes.
Later, they chose to embrace a nomadic lifestyle with Ringo, their
Poodle.
In 2011, the couple began sharing photos and stories about 'life on
the road' on their blog www.poodleinapod.blogspot.com. Ramie
started the wildly-popular Facebook page, 'Driving Miss Norma', in
late August 2015. A few months later, the page went viral and now
has over 500,000 followers from around the globe. Miss Norma's
story has been covered by nearly every major world news-media
outlet, and the book about her year-long journey is published in at
least eight languages.
