My high school buddies, Susan, Phyllis, and Judy, came to visit this past weekend. These are the ten things I learned from their visit: 10. Guests who arrive carrying their own two-litre bottles of Cherry Diet Coke may not be emotionally prepared to eat wholesome, organic food for the weekend 9. Anthony’s Pizza in Falls […]
A Trip to the Farmers Market
September 19, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
I have three high school friends (Susan, Judy, Phyllis) driving down from Philly to visit me this weekend. In honor of the occasion, I decided to make a trip to the local farmers market, to bask in the whole touchy-feeliness of all that fresh, organic produce and homemade baked goods.

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who is two years older than me. At some point in the conversation, she said “I know that technically I’m not a Boomer, having been born one year before the era of Boomerdom began. But I still consider myself one.” I understand this. […]

LBL’s Now Husband is in Greece and Turkey for a month. Family in Turkey, good friends on Rhodes in Greece. Since NH is, among other things, LBL’s Go To Guy for technology, LBL was a bit apprehensive at the thought of his being gone for so long. LBL knows her track record, and it isn’t pretty. LBL fully prepared […]

September 1, 2010 by Life in the Boomer Lane
There was a short segment on NPR the other day, in which people were asked, “What’s in your trunk?” Of course, some of the answers were very funny. But as Life in the Boomer Lane was listening, she realized that she had no idea what was in her trunk. LBL only knew that being married […]
