MODERN DAY PIONEERS
My ancestors were what I would call, true pioneers. They trudged across country with horses and covered wagons to begin a new life. The women gathered buffalo chips to start campfires – did their laundry in a muddy river or … Continue reading
DOWNSIZING, PURGING OR SPRING CLEANING?

THEATRICALIZING THURSDAY
My word for the day is “Theatricalizing.” This is what I do. I am a theatricalizer – or a Thespian – a playwright -a performer – an actor – and old to boot. This has been my chosen profession for … Continue reading

THIS OLD FRAME IS FALLING DOWN
Have you ever felt this way? You feel completely alone. Your life is close to its end. You seem to have lost your way. Even though you know that God is right beside you, you think He isn’t really listening … Continue reading
AGING WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR
As you know, I turned eighty a couple months ago. I really feel this is a great accomplishment for me, but my genetic background shows that my DNA contains genes which qualify me to be a long liver. I’m not … Continue reading

ANOTHER DAY OLDER AND STILL KICKING
When I wrote my memoir several years ago, I was in my 60s and thoughts of retirement were not yet in the picture. They still aren’t. I have survived eight decades and am eagerly moving into the next one. Yesterday … Continue reading
TRAVELING WHEN RETIRED
Retire, they said. It will be fun, they said. You are free to go anywhere, do anything and scratch things off your bucket list, they say. Who are “they” and I’ll bet they’re not retired? Traveling today isn’t easy, no … Continue reading

FAITH IS BELIEVING THE IMPOSSIBLE
Those of you in my age group probably remember when Saturday Night Live was busy producing new talent on a daily basis. So many of the great comics got their start on that show – Gilda Radner and her plethora … Continue reading
