In deference to those who observe Good Friday, we decided to give you our Easter humor a day early. Here’s five to make you smile! 1. Starting out mild 2. What’s ‘humor’ without a little Maxine? 3. An oldie but goodie. 4. It makes sense. 5. Now here’s one we can relate…
Yes, I’m a procrastinator. I’m not proud of this, it just is what it is. My subconscious motto is “Put off today what can be done tomorrow even if tomorrow is cutting it way too close.” My conscious self is very aware that is a stress-inducing, high anxiety-causing, unhealthy way to live. I have felt…
Marg and I were talking about how getting fierce means embracing where we are in life. Which led to us talking about the benefits of being over 50. Which led to us making a list. To our pleasant surprise, it’s a pretty long list. We decided to share our list five at a time. And…
We’re finally getting some warmer weather here and as I search in vain for something lighter weight to wear, I am continually dismayed by the lack of clothing that I can wear that works with my upper arms!!! I have to confess, I have fat, old lady arms that are nowhere near being ready for spring and…
I’m embarrassed to tell you how old I was the first time I didn’t cry when I saw the results of a haircut. Let’s just say I wasn’t a teenager anymore. No matter how emphatically I said “just a trim,” yards of curly hair lay scattered around my feet at the end. Okay – maybe…

M and I thought we’d freshen things up as we head into spring. Which made us think of spring cleaning. Which made us think of the 365-Day Challenge we saw issued at (community member) Natine’s blog last year. Perfect to get spring started out right! Natine was gracious enough to guest post here today to…
Monday Confessional I handed my husband the newly arrived AARP magazine with a smirk on my face. He handed it back to me and his smirk was bigger. It had my name on it. What? One wasn’t suppose to get AARP literature until they were at least fifty. I had just barely turned forty-nine….
Friday Five is a random assortment of tips, thoughts or ideas. They may be connected, they may not. But they will be brief and leave you either informed, entertained, or with a smile on your face. On a good day we’ll hit all three! I completely enjoy the first blooms in my garden but I…
OK, so I have already ‘fessed’ up to breaking the toilet seat in our “About” page. We, in the family, had a good laugh about it but it is still embarrassing. So much so that I now confess to not having replaced it. The toilet seat sits in the bathroom, repaired by black duct tape…
