These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

That was fun
Had a terrific time at Toys R Us. Cesar, honey, you are set!
I discovered Hot Wheels Truckin' Transporters … Trucks that can carry Hot Wheels cars from hither to yon. I got him three of the trucks and five individual cars. I also got him a race car tin filled with crunchy chocolates and a set of 8 little green army men. $28, including tax. That's close enough to the $25 limit.
I also got some sort of Buzz Lightyear vehicle to leave in the Toys for Tots bin on the way out.
Now I've got to put together my box of toys for Hephzibah Home, the children's organization right here in my home town. They provide affordable day care, family counseling, and a home for traumatized and abandoned children.
I heartily encourage you to join in the fun:

If you don't have time to shop this busy holiday season, feel free to send a check. Not as much fun as a trip to Toys R Us, but still important.
