Life in the Boomer Lane has been, for the last couple years, obsessed with a TV series that, to her, is unique. The series is Schitt’s Creek, on POP TV (shoutout to all Canandians) and now streaming on Netflix. She has a ticket to see the cast live this month and so she has been […]

Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from Seattle.  She spent a large portion of her time there playing “Nail Salon” with her two granddaughters, aged five and two. The nail salon products were provided by LBL as part of their Valentine’s Day gift. These products were a big hit. LBL, however, did not […]

In this age of rapid-fire communication, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the bad news that keeps popping up everywhere: Horrific weather events keep gently nudging us that we are on a collision course with the environment, and that far worse is in store. Democracies around the world are failing, replaced by dictators, […]

Life in the Boomer Lane must agree with our esteemed POTUS: climate change (i.e.: global warming) has a positive impact on the planet. In POTUS’ case, global warming is his own personal national thermostat.  Just turn the dial.  A little bit of global warming here and there can immediately raise the temps in the currently  […]

Contrary to what some Loyal Readers may be thinking at this moment, this post is not about Life in the Boomer Lane’s experiences (or anyone’s else’s), canoodling with POTUS.  Neither is LBL extending a magnanimous offer to POTUS, should he be tossed out of office and have n place to stay.  It is, however, about […]

The planet has been plagued with a never-ending supply of events that are disturbing, horrifying, maddening and downright annoying (although not necessarily in that order). But, if one has the stomach for it, one can find little known items that make the more well-known ones seem tame in comparison.  Life in the Boomer Lane has […]

Life in the Boomer Lane, like anyone else except someone in the witness protection program, loves receiving packages.  Jut the sight of a box on the front porch lifts her spirits for the entire day.

Like the rest of the country, Life in the Boomer Lane has been thinking a lot about The Wall.  In her case, it is the brick wall surrounding her living room fireplace. This wall has had a tragic history, ever since she covered the ugly brick with beautiful white paneling.  She has now had to rebuild […]

Life in the Boomer Lane must start with an apology.  One or two loyal Readers may have noticed a long hiatus between posts. This was due to LBL being with Youngest Offspring and his family, in order to greet their newest member.  This newest member is now LBL’s seventh grandchild. LBL stayed to help with […]
