As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

THE STAYCATION
I’m retired. Woo hoo!! Most of my friends have good retirement funds – financial plans that paid off – money in the mattress – stocks and bonds – all sorts of resources including Social Security benefits which have become our … Continue reading
TECHNOLOGY 101
This week, I’m tackling the subject of technology. In just another month I’ll be celebrating my 81st birthday and let me tell you about all the changes of seen in my lifetime. That might take another 80 years to do. … Continue reading
IT’S ONLY WEDNESDAY?
It’s Wednesday, again! When you get older, time seems to fly even faster than it did when you were going through puberty. There are days that simply are non-existent. Most of our days are filled with doctor appointments of one … Continue reading
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?
Some folks call it Spring cleaning while others call it de-cluttering, downsizing or purging. I call it hard work. When we go through the memories of the past, or struggle over what to hang on to and what to get … Continue reading
MEDICAL MISHAPS
We’ve all experienced some pretty weird things when it comes to medical issues. My acting troupe, “The Jewels of deNial,” has recently combined their talents to create this next episode of our radio show called, “Medical Mishaps.” The collaboration of … Continue reading
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
WELLNESS CHECK
I am at the age where a “wellness check” is filed with questions like, “do you feel safe at home?” or “look at these three words and I’ll ask you to remember them at the end of the exam.” I … Continue reading
SHINING JEWELS OF DE NIAL
Last night we hit the stage at Northern Starz Performing Arts Center in Ramsey, MN. As you may know, I’ve been involved in this little theatre troupe for about three years now. It stemmed out of a class I was … 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
RETIREMENT FALLACIES
I actually didn’t retire until I was 68 – that is, I didn’t apply for Social Security until that time. I continued to work until I turned 74. We decided it was time to downsize and moved into a house … Continue reading
ONE OF A KIND
One thing I’ve learned since I semi-retired a few years ago, is that I wasted a whole lot of time worrying about the small stuff. When you’re in the process of beginning adulthood and being responsible for others, you sometimes … Continue reading
RETIRED TIRED
I’m beyond the age of retirement. I tried it once, but the lure of theatre drew me out of it. I am one of those elderly women who drives a car from 2002, with a little over 100,000 miles on … Continue reading
KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING
My husband and I are still part of the work force, although we officially retired over ten years ago. Now we have the luxury of living on the entitlements so graciously given us by our government. I’m not being sarcastic … Continue reading
WHEN IS TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH?
When we lived in the heart of Minneapolis, I had a membership at Costco. I’d drive a long way, spent more than I should’ve on things I normally wouldn’t buy, bought my prescriptions, had photos developed, got ink for my … Continue reading
