OLD TIME FIDDLING!
We all need a hobby! Old time fiddling is considered kind of a genre, and the old tunes were derived from jigs and reels, breakdowns, Schottische, Waltz, Two-Step and Polka. These are the descendants of the original American styles, Appalachian, Bluegrass, Cajun. Anyway, I’ll bet some of you can dance Schottische, Two-Step and Polka. We […]
SURVIVAL SECRETS, ANYONE?
Okay, I admit it. I was a woman 58 years old and going nowhere. Going nowhere fast, in my estimation, because I’d already lived over half my life. I’d lived long enough for a number of things to go awry. Survival secrets, anyone? One panicky morning I sat up in bed, shoved the cat over […]

PICK UP THE PACE
How Fast You Walk Determines How Long You will live! Did you know that, as soon as you walk into the doctor’s office, she can assess your potential for long life? That’s without even checking your vitals! Oh, come on! I know I’m overweight, but this is ridiculous! Nope. That’s without even asking you to […]
DID YOU EVER SEE A NIGHT SO LONG?
This is a little off my track, but it’s Friday, after all! I got to thinking about a bar we visited once; I think it was in Texas or Oklahoma somewhere.This place was kind of a gritty, beat-up bar, where they smoked wherever they pleased and some people had holstered pistols, open carry. Must have […]
SHOPPING FOR SHORTS
I’m from Wisconsin, and I oughta know! We don’t wear shorts! Come on! Capris are daring enough. We have plenty of mosquitoes in Wisconsin. Then, there’s that cottage cheese thigh cellulite, Cheese Head’s country cousin. Honestly, what was there to do last winter in Wisconsin besides sit on our butts at Bunny’s Tap and drink? […]
The Diet Dilemma
Don’t most Americans think that they need to lose weight……..someday? Then we get older, and someday passes. I mean, some of us have been fat for years! Why change now? But, we do complain about it, rather often. We would like to have good cardiac health and live forever, for starters! But here’s a profound […]
The Dating Game at 58!
I never dreamed I’d be dating at the age of 58! Quite a few of us find ourselves out the other end of the marital tunnel after age 55, whether by divorce or widowhood. I found the Suddenly Single Scene pretty intimidating, and the thought of navigating the dating world as well made me want […]
The Great Outdoors is Good For You!
“Get on outside and play!” How many times did we hear that one as children? I always assumed the command was generated by my skipping wildly in the kitchen, screaming at my brother in the living room, or using a bed for a trampoline. It could even have been for this unthinkable reason: Mom was […]
Let’s Talk About Soap!
CARROLL RYGH SUMPTUOUS SOAPS! The very name sounds opulent and rich! These beautiful bars are infused with delicate fragrances, touched with a swirl of natural oils and glycerins, deepened with textured marigold and lavender petals, alive with botanicals, milks and earth clays. It is absolutely wonderful to lather up and bathe with one of these […]
