Dear 100-Year-Old – Me! It has been a long road. One of many lessons. I am pleased that you have made it thus far. Well Done. Even though I know you have had many experiences and lived through so many different phases of life. Only one really important thing is in question – did you …
The Tile of my Biography…
This will take some consideration. I am a complex person after all. Seriously, this question is thought provoking to say the least. I don’t think I have ever tried to sum my life up into one title. I have worn so many different hats (so to say) in my lifetime each depicting a different phase …
My parents at the age I am now – Humm let me think.
I guess I need to begin by saying that I am “63” years old at this point in the year. I feel like I’ve lived a full life. I’ve been married nearly “45” years. I’ve raised four boys and now have grandchildren. Honestly, it is just so difficult for me to believe I’m old enough …

Need A Break – What?
I like this question. Let’s be honest, we all need a break from something. The problem comes when deciding which thing we need a break from in the first place. Am I right? There is a plethora of things to choose from, but in reality, we can’t actually get a full break from any of …
Best Invention!
The most important invention in my lifetime – that is rather difficult. We have been given so many things that are supposed to improve the quality of our lives, but it seems sometimes that it has just made things more frustrating and expensive. I suppose that since I grew up on a farm and had …
My most ideal day -Hummm!
That will be difficult to articulate since I have so many different scenarios playing through my mind. I’ll just list a few and then maybe one day I can experience one or more of them. I’d love a day where I could put on my music and have the energy to clean my house completely. …
Do I Need Time??
If I could request more time, it would be for so many areas of my life. So, the answer would be a resounding YES! It seems that there is never enough time to do anything. It doesn't matter how organized I try to be, time just slips away. If I could, will my own way, …
Three Years – from Today – Good Question.
Seriously, that is a good question. Tomorrow is never promised, especially when you are growing old. In three years, I will almost be at retirement age. That was very painful to type - just so you know. Apparently, I am growing old kicking and screaming. I'm not ready. I'm just figuring things out and I …

A Kid at Heart!
I truly like the thought of a kid at heart. As we have grown, we have lost the whole idea of being a kid at heart. We have allowed all the adult worries and stresses to drown that little voice of a child to near silence. What a sad state to live in where there's …
A Good Neighbor…Humm!
A good neighbor is something people rarely speak about these days. People are so wrapped up in their busy lives that they forget that there are people living right next to them. Times have changed so much. I'm not totally sure it is for the good. Yes, technology is great! We all use it on …
