Covid-19 and being mandated to wear a mask is the least of our worries. Cities such as Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington are finding the downtown cores of their cities being destroyed by rioting.

April 14, 2009, the lives of many were changed because of the tragedy that claimed the lives of Katie Blacklaw and Eddie Denson.

Off to Wyoming we head to stay with a long-time railroad friend of Steve’s. Great weather, great time. First stop was Little Bighorn Battlefield. The history and scenery was amazing. Our Crow Indian tour guide talked to fast and lost me so I took pictures of grasshoppers. Then it was across the way to the […]

February 11, 2018. Married just 6 months, I was diagnosed with needing a quadruple bypass. Shocking. I felt fine. Then just 3 days later, Valentine’s Day, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The heart surgeon didn’t want to touch me until she knew about the cancer. Unfortunately my breast cancer appointment was scheduled one month […]
Funny, the statement “Starting Over” has a lot of meanings. I originally meant I am starting over from the beginning with my 60 Plus Livin & Lovin blog. Now that I think about it, in the past 2 years I have had a lot of starting over. Choosing to fall in love and remarry at […]
