We had the pleasure of having the Growing Bolder crew come to visit us in our award winning model after I literally bugged them for about 1 year about letting me advertise with them.  I love the whole concept of their site and thought what a...

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...

Today I became the parent of a high school graduate.  Of course I knew this day would always come but now that it's actually here, it's almost surreal. Just like most parents, I always want the best for my daughter.  I want her to be...

It's official, HD-DVD is dead.  I'm so relieved I went with Blu-Ray six months ago.  It was not a decision I took lightly, since my mother still has about a hundred beta tapes at home.  HD-DVD fans will likely get a good deal on existing...

Today I am basking in the nice, cold air!  But that hasn't been the case for the past few weeks.  What's a poor boomer girl to do when she has a hot flash and NO air conditioning?  About two weeks ago, the air conditioner went on...

The other day I came across an interesting article about parenting and college students. Since I am now the baby boomer mom of a college freshman, I took note of what it had to say.The Professor from Emory University offered some tips on Parenting Your...

I was asked to write about my early years involving Baseball on Catalina Island and after. All I can say is, it was a great life for any one that grew up there. Once a year, during spring training, the Chicago Cubs would come to the Island for spring...

BikeWeek 2008 disappointing to some but not those who made it ;-)Well, what can I say - the usual ballyhoo about the weak turnout for BikeWeek 2008 started yesterday as local pundits, broadcasters, business owners & the like cried about lost...

So off I went to Austria and Italy, and had a fabulous time. While in Austria we attended lectures at the University of Innsbruck and I found I loved being back in the classroom. That combined with all the workshops and programs I had been taking back...

As you may have noticed in my status from time to time, I have been renovating my house for the past several months. I have advice for everyone who is looking to renovate...if you are doing more than one room, DO NOT live in the house during the process!...

Actually, truth be told, we’re all up in there with being tacky...but tackiness is as tacky does, as The Ancient One is want to say.  I’m still not sure what that means, but I think she was trying to tell us that there actually ARE...

Over the past three months my son Daniel and I have been trying to get him funding for school in Phoenix. Without mentioning names we ran into a lot of problems. My son had gone online and submitted his application for federal loans through FAFSA and that...

I go to prove that you are never too old to keep trying.   Although I have been writing songs and making music for over 50 years, it has only been in the last year that I have been able to have my dream come true - to record a CD and share my...

I love my animals. I have two dogs, Faegan and Junior, and two cats, Travers and Laila. No children at this point (human children, I mean) so the furry friends get most of the attention in my house. My dogs *know how to manipulate my love. When I...

The phone rings the day before Thanksgiving, and the voice on the other end asked me what I was doing on Monday. Next thing I know, I'm on a plane to California going to a tasting of 15 or so really delicious wines from Spain. Some of our group had...

Ten years ago, as a result of attending a personal development course in New Orleans, John Morris made a life changing decision to bring the joy of singing to as many people as possible. The concept of Sing Live was born. John and his partner Linda...

If you ever are diagnosed with the big "C' .  You need to not be  funneled into a  sea of other breast cancer patients and be treated exactly like them.  No. You shake off the initial sting and you start doing your own...

Just a quick note to all the team and new members at Growing Bolder...and special thanks to Jackie, Marc and Bill for letting me a part of the team... At our Food and Wine Insider website and blog, get ready for some great info on new wines, healthy...

This is the time of year when many of us take a few moments to slow down and give thanks for what we have. It's something that personally, I wish I did more often. I don't think it should take a date on a calendar to force me to take stock of my life,...

As young people prepare for high school graduations around the country (my own daughter included) I thought it would be cool (do they say that word anymore?) to come up with a Top Ten List of Baby Boomer Graduation Songs.  These are the songs my...
