My "2010 Year in Blogging"
January 5, 2011
by Life in the Boomer Lane
I created my blog in April 2010 and wrote my first post in May. For awhile, I didn’t get much of a response, and when I did, I usually didn’t comment (I think I thought writers shouldn’t fraternize with readers.). In June, I started to get a couple comments. I responded. Walker (delicacies.wordpress.com) and […]

by Life in the Boomer Lane
One of the great ah-ha moments of LBL’s life began with the sight of small pieces of a photo in the trash can in the driveway of her marital residence. At first, what LBL was looking at made no sense to her. LBL recognized the photo, one taken by Now Husband, of her on a […]

When my ex and I split almost 20 years ago, the only items of real value to me that I wanted to take were the photos, the children’s memorabilia, my own memorabilia, and my artwork. Along the way, some of these items disappeared. Others were forgotten. A couple months ago, my ex and his wife […]
My 2011 Letter of Commitment
December 29, 2010
by Life in the Boomer Lane
About 15 years ago, I attended a workshop that allowed me to see what was working in my life and what wasn’t. Part of the program was that we got to create Letters of Commitment, contracts between us and ourselves, based on several areas of life. These LOCs weren’t resolutions.

by Life in the Boomer Lane
For those of you who live someplace other than the bottom of my clothes-to-be-ironed basket, you are aware that the world is always changing. And pregnancy, childbirth and young motherhood have changed along with it. I am aware of this because I have an 18 month old grandson, Jonah. Although he looks remarkably like the […]

Ooooh, provocative blog title. Life in the Boomer Lane can hear the heavy breathing of people lining up on either side of this debate that is so incendiary it will make you forget about bedbugs and J-Woww’s nude photo scandal. So here goes: LBL has an ongoing disagreement with her friend Jean. She insists that all […]
