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.

Give Me 5 Monday -- #2
This week's theme: GIVE ME FIVE FAVORITE AMUSEMENT PARK RIDES
1. Roller coaster. I especially like the old-fashioned wooden ones because the clacky sound as you ascend toward the top is louder and scarier.
2. Disney Monorail. Yes, I know it's not as exciting as the other rides, but it gives you a chance to look out onto the entire Magic Kingdom.
3. The Scrambler. I love how thrillingly helpless I feel as I'm flung from one side of the car to the other.
4. The Tilt-a-Whirl. Just the opposite of the Scrambler. I enjoy coordinating with my ridemates in an attempt to achieve the perfect tilt and whirl.
5. The Log Ride. Where you splash down into the water. These are great for cooling off on a hot day.

This is great! I love the log ride we have here too. It's not a very long ride, but it is nice and cool...ours goes around and up and down under the shade of trees and finishes with that nice splash at the end!
