Pre-Thanksgiving: Joyful Mayhem Involving Large Appliances
Life in the Boomer Lane has just hosted her children and grandchildren in a pre-Thanksgiving research project to test the theory that a house can hold 5.5 times the number of people it was designed to hold, as long as they are all related to each other.

The Boomer and the Law

This year, Life in the Boomer Lane submitted her taxes and subsequently had a call from her tax guru. “I was looking at your personal property statement for your car, and there was an inspection sticker attached to it,” she said.

LBL Attends A Political Presentation
January 6, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane attended a presentation yesterday evening, given by a candidate running for county board.

Latest Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Throw Pillow
April 28, 2013
Having had such a swell time with my recent trip to the ER, I decided to arrange for another life threatening adventure. Since I had been caring for my one-and-a-half year old and three-and-a-half year old grandsons, all scary and deadly items had been safely stored away. So I had to get creative. Calling upon […]
