Triby
Last month, Life in the Boomer Lane’s grandchildren gathered up all the toys they were given over the holiday and went home. LBL spent days cleaning up, putting things away, and stepping on tiny Lego pieces with her bare feet. After everyone was gone, the house cleaned up, and her feet bandaged, she rewarded herself […]

My Body Parts Keep Forgetting How to Do Stuff
October 17, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
It started when something rolled under Life in the Boomer Lane’s bureau. LBL’s brain immediately started to bend down to retrieve the errant object. Her body did not follow.

Life in the Boomer Lane has just finished The Storied Life of AJ Fikry, by Gabrielle Zevin. Unless you are, at this moment, being wheeled into open heart surgery, please stop anything you are doing and read this book. The best books tell us less about the characters and stories they portray than they do […]
This Ain’t Your Mama’s Grandparents Day
September 12, 2015 by Life in the Boomer Lane
With all due respect to generations of grandparents who came before, boomers are slowly making inroads on yet another sacred, Hallmark-bedazzled day. Both of Life in the Boomer Lane’s grandmothers were long gone before LBL was born. But she had a step-grandmother. Goldie. Goldie was one of the gentlest, softest spoken people on earth. There […]
