IS AGING REALLY LIKE FINE WINE & CHEESE?

Posted on July 26, 2023 by atimetoshare.me

The idea of growing old never occurred to me until I became part of the silver haired generation.  It still doesn’t hold much interest.  In fact I’m trying to avoid it completely.  Age isn’t particularly where anyone in our society wants to … Continue reading →

A BRIDGE TO SOMEWHERE

Posted on April 11, 2021 by atimetoshare.me

A tattered bridge seemingly leads to nowhere, It swings precariously over a raging river of trouble, An ominous, green cast shrouds the waters, In the haze of life’s existence, We could despair, We could fall, We could hang on for dear life, Or … Continue reading →

We arrived safely in Nashville, TN last evening after two days of pretty intensive driving.  I guess we now qualify as road warriors.  Each day seemed to be filled with clouds, which made it easier to travel, but those clouds … Continue reading →
