Growing Bolder Community

For the past few years here on Growing Bolder my friend "Bernie" has been posting on her Blog little ditty's that I thought were hilarious and amazing. I would keep telling her...you have got to write a book every time I would read one of her stories.Well....guess what? Her first book has just been published and released this week. It is titled...The Nun and the Gardener. I can't wait to read...

Being of the older generation, most people are surprised that I know how to do websites. I enjoy it so much I could do it all day. I am self taught. I even have my own website design business. The internet has been a wonderful thing in my life. I am just simply fascinated with it.

I want to call attention to the Red Hat Society. It is great for the over 50 woman that enjoys socializing and having fun. I didn't realize that a lot of women had never heard of the Red Hat Society until I joined our local Mayberry Madhatters. When I would mention I was a member and how much fun it was, I discovered that some had never heard of it. The Red Hat Society began as a result of a...

My hubby Bill and I have been turned on to Flax seed and flax seed oil. There are all kinds of great cereals, chips and trail mix bars out there. After my husband's bout with cancer last year we changed our eating habits 160 degrees. I know our eating habits probably didn't cause his cancer, but we needed a change. And change we did. I quit drinking sodas, eating chocolate, pizza, sweets and...

Well, I almost got to see a President, make that former President. The small town of Mount Airy, NC, aka Mayberry, about 30 minutes from me, had former President Bill Clinton stop by to tell why his wife, Hillary, should be our next President. I did not attend because he was scheduled to speak at 8:30 p.m, and was running late from an earlier engagement and had another stop in between and I...

I love the growingbolder.com website. It has lots of fun things. But I have one thing I just don't understand. Why do people sign-up to be a member and then never do anything? I might click on a member to check out their interests, and what do I find? Absolutly nothing on their page. Seems to me that takes up space that others could be using. I love joining in on a lot of what is happening...

Can you believe at my age I love watching the reality shows? Mostly the ones with music and dance. I started watching American Idol in it's second season. Then I found Nashville Star which is more my style since I love country music. So when this seasons first show aired last night, I was right there in front of the TV. And then to my surprise and delight I actually knew one of the...

To begin with, I was writing this blog right after Friday the 13th. I thought I posted it, but apparently I didn't hit the submit button or was interrupted. Anyway, on Friday the 13th I was washing dishes and was rinsing my last pot when the handle on the faucet broke off. I just couldn't believe it. Since my husband has been unable to do anything since he has been having muscle spasms in his...

What a great surprise when I logged on today and saw all the new Red Hat ladies that have joined growing bolder. I got busy right away inviting them to be my friend I am going to group them all together if they accept me as a friend. I hope to scan through all the members to see how many there might be. Guess I better get my red hat picture on my profile. :-)@import...

I must say I'm so excited to see all the Red Hat Ladies that have joined my new group, Red Hat Ladies on GB. Ladies from all over, even from Australia. What beautiful photos each of you have with your stunning Red Hats. Glamor has finally come back. I'll be looking forward to getting to know each one of you in the coming months. If there are any ladies on GB that do not belong to a Red Hat...
