Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
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...

I’ve got a really good excuse for the break in my blogging. It’s a really, really good one, and I definitely was not slacking. I mean, as excuses go, I’d say this was a pretty cool one. I helped save Chewbacca! No, I don’t have any pictures to prove that last statement because someone was... Continue Reading →
Once upon a time, there was a princess. She wasn’t me and I have no idea how she would fit into this blog post, but there she is. Did she also have purple hair? Is it relevant to the fact that I do? No, not really. I have an event coming up and I’ve never... Continue Reading →
Growing older shouldn’t be littered with “I can't,” but it’s so easy to slip into living with limitations instead of finding ways to adapt. How we find those ways comes from many sources. I look to my friends of all ages for inspiration. I see an older friend living on her own on the top... Continue Reading →
You know that feeling when you meet someone, and it feels like you’ve known them forever. That was me today. We sat at a table at the café in Barnes and Noble chatting over coffee and cocoa. She spoke of her kids, her husband, her mom. We talked about crochet and work and more. As... Continue Reading →
I tried something new today. I’ve been crocheting for more years than I care to admit. Let’s just say I’ve made miles (and miles) of loops and knots. I’ve even taught a few people how to make hooks and yarn work together to make anything from spa cloths to blankets. But there was always one... Continue Reading →
Whatever shall I do? My best friend has been on a trip to Italy for a week now and won’t be back for another week. Another dear friend is about to board a plane for Paris and a third just got over a virus and is heading off to Florida in a day or two.... Continue Reading →
