Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
The hum of our generator growls reassuringly, tucked in a corner just outside our back door. It’s been on since just after midnight. How do I know this? Because I was up until just shy of midnight finishing a book. The review for it was due today. (Yes it was worth the lack of sleep.)... Continue Reading →
Winter is finally here in coastal New Hampshire. The branches of the trees in our backyard droop slightly from the weight of the heavy, wet snow. Our vegetable garden is covered in the blanket I’ve come to expect this time of year. It’s beautiful outside. I am thankful it’s warm and cozy inside, with my... Continue Reading →
I just came across this and had to share! Even though most of us aren't 65 yet, I'm sure we know folks who are! I've used the Downeaster for a trip to Portland and it was comfortable and easy! As for Boston, I don't know about you, but I think driving there is nuts! (once... Continue Reading →
I’m cold! Now that may not seem like much to you when you first read this, considering that it’s winter and all. However, I’ve been warm, overly warm, or hot-flashed for over fifteen years. So to find myself grabbing a sweatshirt or a sweater is really a treat! Is this the end of the thermostat... Continue Reading →
January 6th You know that feeling in the morning when you wake up and your soft snuggly blankets are now much too warm and you need to fling them off and join the human race? No? I do. It’s the same feeling I get at the tail end of a brain-fog “spell.” You know that... Continue Reading →

I don’t believe in resolutions. Neither, I discovered, does my husband. I mean, why wait for one day out of 365 to decide to improve life when you have 365 whole days that would serve just as well if not better? Every morning is an opportunity. For that matter, any time you have a great... Continue Reading →
Well, here it is Christmas morning and I have an uninvited migraine. My left eye decided it doesn’t want to participate in this holiday’s festivities. My left brain propelled foggy me to the medicine cabinet to retrieve two magical ibuprofen that should be kicking in any time now. Thank goodness for software that checks for... Continue Reading →
Where’ve I been? Why I was navigating through another bout of brain fog and fatigue. Seriously, I’m starting to believe I need an internal lighthouse on those days, just to see my own thoughts. But I’m back, fog-free for as long as it lasts, and ready to put pen to paper. (No pens or paper... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my last blog (Star Cruising, Part 1), we went on a “voyage” on Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser recently. Without giving away any spoilers, I’d like to share what it was like being one of the “seniors” on the cruise. It didn’t matter. The age range was from approximately 7 to someone that...
