A Shopping Trip
Life in the Boomer Lane has a close friend who is a brilliant, highly accomplished visionary. Listening to her is both mesmerizing and inspiring. This weekend, she took a break from her international and political work in order to accompany LBL on a trip to a popular antiques/home accessories store. The shopping trip went something […]
The Hospital Stay
January 18, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane has a close friend who picks atypical places for her normal life events. She fell in love with someone who was living in her basement, then married him in the winner’s circle at Monmouth racetrack. Not to be outdone by these diversions from the norm, she has just […]
Friendship Friday: Laughing Through the Worst to get to the Best
December 2, 2016
Back in the fall of 1973, Life in the Boomer Lane met Miki, a fellow special ed teacher. Miki was tall. Her legs started at her ankles and ended at LBL’s neck. Her life experiences were as different from LBL’s as could possibly be. There were a lot of reasons why they connected. But the […]
Friendship Friday: Shopping Mayhem
November 18, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane has been thinking a lot about friendship, lately. She has written about friendship and friends in many blog posts.

A friend of Life in the Boomer Lane brought up a very serious issue at their breakfast out, the other day.

For the last couple days, Life in the Boomer Lane’s carton-infested attic has been occupied not with a contractor, but with a house guest.

Guerrilla Aging: Nourishment Comes in Many Forms
January 16, 2015
I’ve just returned from five days in Florida, visiting two dear friends, Joyce and Jean. These women were also my co-authors for the two books we wrote about life after 50. For that reason, our journey of friendship has been life-altering. I brought with me another friend, Judy, who came with me to visit several […]
Guerrilla Aging: Friendship
October 3, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane was just visited for a couple days from two long time friends. Judy, since 9th grade. Susan, since 5th. The years of our lives have been filled with whatever fills years. We marvel each time we are together that we pick up exactly where we left off. We […]
