Boy, am I one lucky duck! I’m not sure how it happened, but my children gave me four grandchildren (I know how thathappened) who are the smartest, most athletic, best looking, most personable,...

2020 had a lot of challenges for everyone, and I was afraid I would become a shopaholic or wine-aholic or wear the soles of my shoes out while on my five walks a day and I searched for something...

At the grocery store this morning, I noticed a brightly colored, metal kiosk offering bit coins. It was right next to the lottery ticket kiosk. I buy a lottery ticket once in a while but have never...

Good news today! The dentist saved my tooth! I am one happy camper because I was not looking forward to living out the rest of my life with a tooth gap the size of Delaware, which, coincidently,...

Besides my daily brishing and flossing ritual, I don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about teeth. That is, until one goes astray and makes itself known beyond its purpose. I had a wayward...

I graduated from high school over fifty years ago, and now somehow, I have been elected to the job of KTMC also known as Keeping Track of My Classmates. It’s not a bad job and I enjoy knowing where...

I don’t think my head has been in a paper bag, but yesterday I went to the bigger-than-life hardware store, looking for a screw that would fit one of the plug-in plates that had been removed while...

I’m officially home, looking at my neighbors’ yards and a beautiful moon that’s hanging in the sky. It’s only 7:30, but I ventured out, down to the corner and yes, it’s officially cold. Somewhere in...

I’ve made friends with the local beach turtle who has been entertaining me, zigzagging across the beach, never really going anywhere or doing anything, just crawling along like he has all the time...

My friend Trish and I had not seen each other for a several years and have been trying to make up for lost time so this week we had a new adventure. It started out as a simple quest. I was hungry...

These days I lose a lot of things. Mostly my glasses, keys, and my purse, but this morning was a new low. I am losing track of time. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, easy enough to remember, but when...

  My adventure continued this week as my friend Trish and I took a good look at St. Augustine via a Hop-On-Hop-Off trolley. We did more sitting than hopping on or off due to a little cold front that...

  With all my copious extra free time, I’ve been on another thinking spree and I spent this weekend thinking about my health and eating habits. I seem to think about eating a lot.   Since Covid...

My phone has been ringing off the wall, rather my wrist. It’s one thing after another, everyone wanting to help me. Today alone, I’ve had eight calls, and although I didn’t answer them and they...

This weekend I was watching television and somehow ran across one of my old favorite movies Auntie Mame and dove into it like an old friend. It is a delightful story about how life rolls around with...

I live in Idaho, which is in one of the “flyover states” (and just for the record, I hate that term), with no coastal beaches, but since I arrived in Florida, I have gone to the beach nearly every...

  Good morning! I’m sitting at my desk savoring a cup of coffee wondering what in the world am I going to write my Wrinkly Bits blog about this morning. It’ll come to me, it always does, but I’m not...

My Wrinkly Bits books are about people of a certain age falling in love despite their aches and pains and maladies, but more critical for me and many of us over seventy is the fear of actually...

When I retired, I thought my life would be limp and loose, nothing to do, no emergency meetings, no planning, and no deadlines. Boy, was I wrong. I have so many things to do that a single piece of...
