I think this stage of life is a wonderful time to pursue creative outlets. I know I sure am. I took up knitting a few years ago. Such fun. I've written for years, but have more time for it now. I blog now. A fun stage of life.

Oh, and who asked about the actress in Love Story. It was bugging me so I Googled it. Ali MacGraw.

Diane, you know of course that Vicki, Anne Marie and I are not ganging up on you, right? We're supporting you!

(Right, ladies? Shhh. Don't tell her we're actually an easy audience. We have to hang tough and together on this.)

[whistling nonchalantly]

Er, so...Diane. You got that? We're, uh, holding you to this next year thing. Okay?

Deb

"being wise and nurturing" and "love seeing dreams come true" Ditto and ditto on that, Anne Marie! I love how we can be cheerleaders, supporters, and celebrators of each others' dreams and journeys.

I think that the making of dreams for ourselves and others is a very creative process. And holding on to our dreams for as long as we need or want them can be a creative journey, too. Dreams come true....ahhh, now there's creative bliss!

Yes indeedy, Deb! We are not ganging up on Diane - we Boomer women are just going to be excellent encouraging cheerleaders and provide all the support she wants from us, right? :) After all, being wise and nurturing is a benefit of our stage of life. Besides, I love seeing dreams come true.

One of my best friends wanted to sing for years. First it was church choir, then it was kareoke, now she sings Blues with a pinao-playing partner in local venues. They were just invited to kick off our local Blues Festival next year - each year a local band is chosen to be the opening act. She's thrilled. And tonight I'll be going to watch her perform at a local pub. I still get a thrill watching her do what she always dreamed of doing - and so yes, I know it can happen for Diane and all who have time now to follow those dormant dreams.

You gals are making me tear up....with all your love and support! What a great group of ladies to be friends with. And we haven't known each other very long! Boomers are the BEST!

Any one remember "Eddie's Father"? dont know if that was the name of the show, but the song comes into my mind lately. It was a single dad and his son Eddie. the theme song was something like:"People let me you "bout my beeeest friend, ...... who love me "til the end".
My kids are 19, 22,23,27 and do like watching old re-runs of "golden girls". But dont know this show.
Does any one know what I am talking about?
