Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
I had it all plotted out. Everything was on a spreadsheet with things to do each day leading up to the day of the feast. For the first time ever, my parents turned the holiday over to my husband and me. Well, mostly. I should explain. Thanksgiving is my mother's favorite holiday. Her cooking skills...

Him: I caught what's making you cough. Me: Aw, you're snuffy! I'm sorry. Maybe you need to be reprogrammed? Him: What? Me: You caught a bug and now you have a head code! Him: And this was us, folks. Side by side, we worked on our websites. He really was debugging while I figured out... Continue Reading →
Let's hear it for stepping out of our comfort zone! Okay, my comfort zone. When a dear (and dare I say "old") friend asked if I'd like to join him at Fire & Ice today, I jumped at the opportunity without a thought. Fire & Ice is an interactive restaurant. In the center lies a... Continue Reading →
It dawned on me this evening that I haven’t written a regular blog post in a while. Once we came back from Alaska, I honestly wasn’t feeling very creative. Snuffy and sneezy, yes…creative, not so much. But I’ve been reading a lot and posted a bit about our trip to Alaska. That counts, right? Whenever... Continue Reading →
One of our kids recently asked me: “When does one feel like they have achieved adult status?” My response? I’ll let you know when I get there! For me, even at sixty, growing older does not mean totally growing up. I still love to play on the floor with my grandchildren, even if it’s harder... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite authors liked a response I wrote on another favorite author’s Reader page. OMG One of my favorite authors liked my response! And responded thanking me! Me! OMG (takes a deep breath) I haven’t written here in weeks. I could blame long covid fatigue or brain fog, or a truly beastly cold,... Continue Reading →
Okay, I get it. That last post about staying on or off Disney property was a cliffhanger. I can fix that. This post is about what I prefer. (The last one was trying to show some pros and cons, knowing everyone has different budgets, etc.) As someone over 60, who is also living with post-covid... 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 →
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 →
