No one cares about anyone over 40

My daughter used to ask me to read books that she liked.  She never disappointed me with her recommendations.  Eventually I talked her into reading one of my favorite books, Outlander, which just happens to be a series.  She had finished the first book in time for the television series’ debut.  (It is always a mistake to watch a TV […]

Empty Nest

So it’s time for the next chapter in my life.  I’ll be honest – I don’t like change.  But life is about change.  And this is a change I spent the last 21 years working towards.  I’m about to be an empty nester! From the time I was a little girl I had one true dream in life – to […]

Inca Trail Day 2, Peru

Day two was here.  After a precarious night’s sleep we were up by 5 AM.  We were awakened each morning with a choice of coca tea or coffee (Nescafe instant) delivered to our tent and hot water to wash our hands.  It was then time to pack up, fairly quickly.  In a matter of about thirty minutes we were dressed, […]

Musings about 50

Fifty.  There are fifty states in our great nation. Fifty cents is half a dollar. Fifty years of marriage is considered the “golden anniversary.”   Apparently I am turning 50 this year, in August.  Or as my husband likes to say, “I will be starting my 51st year.”  He has finally learned not to say this to me.  For some reason […]
