Play Nintendo DS to keep your mind sharp
Buy a Wii and get fit in the comfort of your home. I do not do gyms, so this would be a great alternative. You can do what you want, when you want and […]

Remember your first car? If you can remember the first car you drove/owned, you’re probably a guy. (I think it’s a genetic thing.) My husband can remember every car he’s ever owned, and he loves going to look at “classic cars” (those old cars from the 20s on up through the 70s). […]

One interesting article I saw on Not Just the Kitchen was about how you can pump gas and save money. Apparently, people are pumping gas, as I do, by putting the nozzle up to max, and standing back and letting the tank fill. I always figured it didn’t matter, and it beats […]

Go fishing, hiking, golfing, boating, hot air ballooning?
Learn some history, literature, religion, photography?
See a festival, play, or musical event?
Enjoy a dude ranch, a cruise, […]

Over the weekend, I heard someone refer to people who are 60 as “elderly.” I was extremely offended. After all, “60 is the new 40.” So how can 60 be elderly?!

If you are looking for an unusual vacation, to a different place this summer, you might want to consider. The Home Exchange, for example, allows you to list your home and exchange for another home. The cost is $99.95 a year. They say most exchanges are direct (one-to-one), and you should clean at the end of […]

Our U.S. flag. It’s been around a long time, and it has seen a lot of war and destruction, a lot of happiness and grief. It’s not Flag Day, but the flag is what I think of on the 4th of July.
Here is a great […]
