Here in western North Carolina we’ve recently been dealing with a bit of winter weather. Looking out my window, snow still covers the ground from last weekend’s storm, even as the rain attempts to wash it away. One of the reasons I moved to North Carolina was to enjoy milder winters, and so far [...]

Are you a Techno-Boomer?
Yesterday’s announcement of Apple’s new iPad has the techno geeks a flutter all over the Internet this morning. As I scanned Twitter tweets and techno blogs about the ‘latest, greatest’ Apple offering, I wondered how many other Boomers might be doing the same thing.
I know I’m not alone in my techno-boomer status, because I’ve seen [...]
Booming Boomer Businesses
Current Labor statistics show that baby boomers are experiencing the highest rate of unemployment since 1948. I read this in a great article at Enterpreneur.com. As doom and gloom as that sounds, that’s not the point of the article. It’s all about Boomerpreneurs. Baby boomers that are taking the plunge and starting their own businesses.

Welcome 2010!
Can you believe it? Is it just me, or does each year seem to go by faster than the one before? When I was waiting for my 16th birthday it certainly didn’t feel that way. And then there are the New Year Resolutions.
I don’t know about you, but the older I get, the less enthusiasm [...]
Holiday Favorites
In my last post I mentioned that part of my holiday tradition includes watching the movie, “The Santa Clause” every year. Can I share something else with you? It’s not the only holiday movie I make it a point to watch yearly. What others share that designation?

Holiday thoughts
I completely identify with the Thanksgiving memories in today’s blog entry – my own are not unlike those described. There is a wonderful innocence to childhood holiday activities. As we grow up, we realize that adults and in-laws and partners and friends don’t always feel such warm and fuzzy feelings at this time [...]
Over the River & Through the Woods…
I took the turkey out of my freezer this morning so it could thaw in time for Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving? When did that happen?
Of course that started my thoughts on a trip down memory lane.
Thanksgiving was a pretty important holiday when I was a child. I remember my grandmother baking pies for what seemed like [...]
