Baby Boomer Divas


April 18, 19 and 20th, I will be on a plane to Daytona Beach, Florida to experience a Baby Boomer retreat. This will be the second time I've traveled long distance by myself. Several meetings are planned for women over 40. The whole idea came from Beverly Mahone, a radio talk show host and blogger who unbeknownst to her has raised awareness that women over 40 are alive and well on planet earth. More can be said by looking at her link http://www.enjoyyourmenopause.com/ .

I thought it would be something I would enjoy and as the weeks and months have passed I have met many women who I consider my friends now. There are business women, artists, musicians, teachers, mothers, grandmothers, herbalists, aerobic instructors, celebrities, talk show hosts, ministers, bloggers and just great women from around the nation and abroad. Daily we email each other on several topics and interests and since we all share a common bond, our age, we have many things in common and many interests to discuss.

So if there are any women over 40 interested in finding out more...go to that website mentioned above. Find out for yourself what terrific women are on the list from many states and even Australia.

At the retreat we will have photographers from different medias on hand and a number of activities scheduled for Fri and all day Saturday. There will be a time of Praise and Worship on Sunday morning. I'm sure we'll do a lot of networking and it will be a time of gathering information about businesses available for women, nutrition, exercise, improving our image and topics related to the baby boomer generation.

THE 1982 DENVER BLIZZARD

This story is about the trip we took to see my mom at Christmas, 1982. She lived in Evans, Colorado and we lived in Page, Arizona. We had decided to take our four sons in our Dodge van not knowing what the weather had in store. We packed several bags, blankets, water and our cosmetic case for what we though was a two or three day vacation. We were supposed to be at my mom’s house Christmas Eve. We left Page and drove toward Kayenta, Arizona and onto New Mexico. We started toward Raton and hit a huge snow storm. Just outside of Raton, the winds were severe. Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s...

The war had begun and it was given the operation name “Desert Storm”. My son Steven was in the marines and already had traveled to the Philippines, Germany and then he was sent to Saudi Arabia where he and several other marines would push through to Kuwait. His responsibility was to defuse land mines placed in the desert floor by the enemy. My husband Richard and I and children all nestled snug in our beds in Mesa, Arizona while all of this was going on. We fervently prayed each night for his and his fellow soldiers safety and protection. I believed in my heart that he would return but it was very difficult to think of him in harms way. He is my eldest son and I spent years preparing him for his future as a leader. Many months passed with no word from him. Steven was stationed there from August to the month of March the following hear. During Christmas I put up a special tree, a small pine with lights which would be called “Steven’s tree”. Since he was not there we were to remember him...
