Once again we found ourselves at the fantastic Life@50+ Expo – this time in Boston!
And this time we landed on the cover of AARP Magazine! Well, sort of.
Becoming cover models is just one of the myriads of fun activities we participated in while visiting Beantown.

Walking into the theater at the Movies for Grownups Film Festival, I expected
Cyber-Seniors to be a dry, informative info-nugget on how the Internet could enhance the lives of the older set. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Honestly, I’ve never been to a theater where the crowd was howling with this level of laughter…. CONTINUE READING >>

“A mother is only as happy as her saddest child,” a close friend’s grandmother used to say.
When I first heard her say this, all three of my children were young and safely in the nest so I could totally relate. Somehow I thought once they were grown up this would change.
It didn’t.
Trouble finds its way into everyone‘s lives – and as much as we hate it – trouble finds our adult children. Whether it rears its ugly head in a… CONTINUE READING >>

One of our readers sent me an email that really touched me:
I am not completely an empty nester unfortunately. My 20 year old son was not able to return to college this fall because of the lack of loans and grants available to him. So now he is doing nothing except for playing the computer game WoW (World of Warcraft) most of his waking hours. He did just purchase a small business that will make him a small living, but I pray he goes back to college. He is very bright and it would be such a waste if he didn’t. –Hannah

Men bounce back home at a rate of 40 percent, compared to just 32 percent for women. As our offspring have grown older and more secure in their adult lives the idea of them returning to the nest as boomerang kids has become much less of an issue for us.
But a recent article in The Tribune, “How to deal with adult children who move back home,” reminded us that for many would be, no should be, empty nesters it is still an ongoing fact of life.

It was my first fear conquering – as kids today say – “epic fail.” Not pretty at all.
Maybe I was too jet lagged. Maybe it was too early in the morning. Maybe it was the ten extra pounds of delicious-food Europe weight.
