ARE WE THERE YET, OR KATHY’S MELTDOWN
We rose early the next morning, packed our belongings and said our goodbyes. It’s always hard to say goodbye to those whom you only get to see once or twice a year, but each year it becomes harder, because you … Continue reading
DELIBERATE OBFUSCATION

THE DAY AFTER …

AGING STUBBORNLY
Maggie Kuhn became a woman to be reckoned with when she was forced to leave her job at the age of 65. Because of that and the deplorable conditions of nursing homes at the time, she formed the Gray Panthers … Continue reading
SKIPPING THROUGH LIFE
This is not a picture of my husband and me, skipping along the beach, but I wish it was. We still have the ability to do so, but I’m afraid we’d have to stretch out for a few days before … Continue reading
KEEP ON!
Did you know the Energizer Bunny was arrested? He was charged with battery! LOL. Sorry, but I came across that joke when I was looking for an image for my Monday post. My sister and I used to refer to … Continue reading
MY YEAR IN REVIEW
