About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

My Grandmother would have been watching her favorite soap (As The World Turns) on a 17 inch TV in the 1950’s, so almost 60 years later how did her granddaughter spend her afternoon? Watching her favorite show (Bones) on a 17 inch computer screen. The fact I am using a computer and my grandmother a black and white TV is irrelevant. We both would have spent a little of our day following the lives and fortunes of our favorite TV characters. She on CBS, me on Hulu.com. The more thing change, the more they are the same.

What was your grandma’s favorite TV show and what is your?

My dear mama's favorite thing to watch was Jeopardy. I think she watched it every evening that she possibly could. Even when she'd be in the hospital, she'd turn the tv on when it was time for Jeopardy. I enjoy the show too, and we used to watch it together sometimes.

Isn't that interesting. My Grandma rarely watched tv. She liked Wheel of Fortune and Billy Graham crusades.

I don't think either of my grandmom's had TVs. But they used to listen to the radio.
