Don’t get me wrong – I love being with David. We’re pretty much together 24/7 and it’s seldom a problem with us.
We work hard on keeping our relationship fresh (to varying degrees, of course!) and continue to try new things together.

Yup, it’s time for another women “of a certain age” post from me. So far I’ve overshared about stray hairs, arm flaps, botox, and mammograms – so why stop now, right?
This time it’s about my feet and cankles – yuck, I know, but it’s life and if I don’t overshare, who’s going to?

The Boy has just embarked on a new journey.
He has accepted one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.He is now an Alaskan bush pilot (I suppose we should now call him “Captain The Boy”).
This is something he has wanted to do for a long time, and though I’m beyond-words proud of him for realizing a dream (and working extremely hard for it), I am not thrilled by… CONTINUE READING >>

Becoming cover models is just one of the myriads of fun activities we participated in while visiting Beantown.

“A mother is only as happy as her saddest child,” a close friend’s grandmother used to say.
