Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
I'm running away. Well, only for a week, but I'm off to spend time with that mouse in Florida. As much as I'm looking forward to it, I'm astounded at how much I need to pack for a week's stay away. I take that back, it's not how much I need to pack, but what... Continue Reading →
I pride myself on being a geek. I may not be as brain-spry as I used to be, but I'm still pretty good at things like my computer or phone. Indeed, I've learned my lesson when it comes to laptops, specifically 2-in-1s. Never again. My latest one, the third in a line of identity-challenged laptops... Continue Reading →
I will get at least one of these done in the next 24 hours. Or so I keep telling myself. I am my biggest cheerleader, after all. My eyes disagree with me. My fatigue is in league with my eyes. My heart wants to play with yarn and this thing is seriously cute – or... Continue Reading →
At a young age, I knew in my heart I was a writer. There’s just something magical about putting pen to paper and watching the words flow into a story. Yes, I know, I’m typing right now.

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 just learned of another friend who has chosen to retire this year. This is a wonderful process to watch as she mulls over what she wants to do next. It reminds me of when we were all in high school trying to decide on careers and other life choices. A doctor, a lawyer, a... Continue Reading →
