It’s summer and it’s Monday and it’s time for our weekly roundup known as the Blogging Boomers Carnival.  A bunch of pretty interesting bloggers, who happen to be boomers, share their fave posts from the prior week…that’s the carnival.  This week I’m host, so here for your early reading pleasure, in no particular [...]

Wonder where your food comes from?

Here’s a great little video sent to me from Canada.   Note:  I just had a pear at lunch…What’s on your table?

Becoming human again

I’ve radically changed the way I eat over the past 3 weeks.  I’m definitely NOT on a diet.  The food that is popping into my mouth and down into my stomach includes cakes and cookies.  The difference is that I took ALL pre-prepared foods out of my diet.  The reason for doing this [...]

Everyone’s talking healthcare!

I’m so proud that the healthcare bill has passed.  In our family (my mom, me and my 10-year old daughter) we pay almost $2,000/month for coverage and prescription medications.  That’s stunning.  My mother cannot shop for different providers because she has Type 2 diabetes and pays to be covered in a more expensive [...]
