Merry Christmas
I wish you all a very joyful and healthy holiday season. Enjoy each minute, make lots of memories, take lots of photos, and sit still for a bit and let it all sink into your soul. Even if you are alone, do something that makes you happy. Make your own memory by doing something special […]
Heading South
Hubby and I are late getting here, but we finally made the journey to the warm southern climes. We got out of South Dakota right before the snow and single digit temps hit. It was in the mid-60s when we got to our winter home. That’s the reason we do it. I have my ultra […]
Boomer Struggles
I admit I’m addicted to scrolling through social media and commenting occasionally. You’ll never know how many comments I’ve deleted before posting, but it felt good to release what I wanted to say. I’ve never regretted deleting them either. Recently I was very surprised by an online comment to me about how Boomers could never […]
The Weekend in Pierre
Hubby and I were invited to a 80th birthday party in Pierre this weekend. Because Hubby has so many friends there from high school, he always looks for an excuse to visit his old hometown. Even though Pierre (pronounced ‘peer’) is the state capitol, the population is about 15,000 people. It’s set on the banks […]

Our son walked again with another bachelor’s degree, then walked with a master’s degree. A few years later, our daughter walked to get her master’s degree and this month, she […]
Can’t Take It With You
A meme has circulated on social media that says something like: You’re born with nothing, you spend your life chasing things, and you die with nothing. Make sure to fill your heart with good things. Hubby and I have downsized some in recent years, and we haven’t missed anything we donated or sold or trashed…except […]
Cooking Difficulties
One of the hardest things of adult life is deciding what to cook for meals, especially for just two. When we was younger, I had cookbooks and a recipe box full of options to choose from. All changed with our aging bodies and food challenges. We live in a dairy-free house now, so those books […]
