The Year Everyone’s Hair Fell Out
Life in the Boomer Lane has been getting used to her hair not only falling out, but flying across rooms and nestling in surprising places.

Life in the Boomer Lane Meets Her Waterloo
November 9, 2021
Life in the Boomer Lane and Now Husband have just returned from a week in Brussels. They stayed with close friends who live there part time, and they had a great week. One of the highlights of the week was to visit the Museum of Waterloo, the Belgian town in which Napoleon met the end […]
Catch Up
August 30, 2021
LBL hasn’t posted anything in quite some time.
