I just read an article on the net about a woman who had twins at 60. No, she wasn’t a surrogate for someone else. She had twins for herself at the age of 60. She had two children that were in their 30’s, another child that she’d had at the age of 53, and then twins at 60. When she wrote the article her twins … Continue reading Twins at 60
Easter Sunday in Metro Atlanta is supposed to 72 degrees and mostly sunny. I hope so. I love having the girls over for their annual egg hunt. We’ve been doing it since the older granddaughter was three. This will be our eighth year. We have plastic eggs with coins, Haribo gummy worms, Sixlets, Skittles, and Starbursts in them. Every now and then a special egg … Continue reading A Special Easter Egg Hunt
March is probably the craziest month of the year. There are many reasons why. 1. It came in like a lion. 2. American soldier and politician Sam Houston (1793-1863) was born on the 2nd in Virginia. He later served as Congressman and Governor of Tennessee. In 1832, he became commander of the Texas army in the War for Texas Independence, defeating the larger Mexican army … Continue reading March Madness
Well we said what happens in car six stays in car six. And that has been almost wholly true…until now. It happened to me, so I’m telling it. After you read about it, you will wonder why I decided to reveal this particular event. And even as I sit here at 2:34 a.m. deciding whether to push the ‘publish’ button, I wonder whether I should, … Continue reading Car Six
I had been out of town for a week. On my way back in town from the airport I met my family at a restaurant for dinner. It was Friday night and 5-year-old Breezy was coming home with us for the weekend. We’d had a cookout the previous weekend and I remembered there were still four “Nimanim” ice cream cones (waffle cones with vanilla ice … Continue reading Out of the mouths of babes
It was the last leg of my journey, Houston to Atlanta, and I was exhausted. After a five-day business trip spent mostly with people I’d never met before, my introversion was wearing thin. I wanted to get on the plane and just melt in to my seat. I walked down the very roomy aisle. Only two seats on each side. Nice, I thought. There was … Continue reading Looks can be deceiving
About a year ago my back started hurting. “No pain, no gain,” right? So I pushed through it. I’m a 57-year-old trying to be a 37-year-old so I was doing cross-fit taught to me by my 30-year-old trainer. By October when I stood up from my very expensive all-leather ergonomically-designed desk chair at work, my back would cramp up and send me toward the roof … Continue reading Cross-Fit Nit-Wit
If you do not live in the state, you may not have known that Georgia is owned by the Cathy family. You may have mistakenly thought it was owned by Ted Turner, Arthur Blank & Bernie Marcus, or some silent stakeholders of Coca Cola stock. No. The Cathy family. As such, there is a Cathy family restaurant on every corner. There is Chick-fil-A (about a … Continue reading Eat mor chikin
We all arrived at the W in Buckhead about the same time. After we got checked in we changed clothes and went to the pool. The W has a great rooftop infinity pool. We were enjoying just chilling on a Friday afternoon. Em, Lynn and I became acquainted with two sisters at the pool. We were enjoying chatting up with them. They were loud and … Continue reading The Spark Package
