    Adopting… A Pet That Is!

    So, I’ve been asking my Prince for a dog for a couple of months. First, the answer was, “No, if you get a dog, I’m moving out”. I knew he wasn’t serious, but I waited. Finally, I said I was absolutely serious and he said, “Ok, but please don’t get one we will trip over…

Did you know that there were other things that can be considered medical issues? For instance, the fact that I dream so vividly that sometimes when I wake up,…

    A New Day of Growing Old

    So, I turned 56. Now what? Well you fall in the bathtub and create an enormous amount of pain for your already aching back. I hit my tailbone hard on the bathtub and hit my head on the faucet. I know all these little things equate to “growing old” but I don’t know how they…

    Embarking on New-ness

    The old becomes the new all the time. And today I return to a job I left in March of this year. Life was really tumultuous then and my health wasn’t great, something I’m sure to talk a lot about as you learn here at Growing Old with Jerri Ann. But, tonight I’m going back…

    Losing My Dad – August 22, 1988

    I am recovering from an anniversary of the worst kind. I would like to tell you that the whole thing gets better with time but that is the biggest lie anyone has ever old. Death, the anniversary of a death, losing someone you love that meant the world to you never gets any easier than…
