Sunday Stealing A to Z
A
• Are you available? Depends on who is asking.

B

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.
You gotta lot of great lines, but my fav was "the animals or the sports teams?" Every always spells baby bears as Cubbies. Right?

ReplyDeleteI wish I remembered riding on the elephant at the San Diego Zoo. I was only five. The only reason I know it happened is I'd put the "I rode an elephant" sticker on the cigar box I kept my little girl treasures in, and, of course, stories from my mom
