Triby
January 15, 2016
Last month, Life in the Boomer Lane’s grandchildren gathered up all the toys they were given over the holiday and went home.

December 10, 2015
When Life in the Boomer Lane’s Only Daughter moved to London, LBL was crushed. Then, OD got pregnant, and LBL imagined that her grandchild would grow up never knowing her.

Stalking and Being Stalked
November 10, 2014
It’s taken awhile for Life in the Boomer Lane to notice that she is being stalked by products she has searched for online.

When GPSs Collide
July 14, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane has noticed very lately that her two GPS systems (car and phone) have decided to join both the Middle East and Congress in their inability to cooperate in any way whatsoever. At exactly the same moment, they (the phone and the car) chose to enter a state of reality so […]
