HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOOMERS!!

BABY BOOMER DIVA BIRTHDAY! HOORAY!!!!

Yes, it’s true. Beverly Mahone’s Yahoo group was started a year ago July 22, 2007th. Beverly, is a well known radio internet talk show hostess. Her show can be heard at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/whateverlive . She also has written several books. She’s an exciting person to listen to so go to her link.

I can’t quite remember when I joined the group but there hasn’t been a moment since that I regretted the decision. I also made a decision in October, 2007, to go to the first Baby Boomer Spring Retreat to be held in Daytona Beach, Fl. It was a great weekend and my second long distance trip since my husband died. I think of myself as an active, divinely, inspired, vivacious and anointed woman thus the name D.I.V.A. Being a baby boomer has had its pitfalls, mainly, not having a career. But several of the DIVA women are in business and have a great deal to share about internet businesses, management, financial decisions and communicating by internet helps to convey information, thoughts, counsel and various tidbits. We cover health issues, aging parents, eating right, exercising, getting the counseling we need as older, mature women.

I believe by joining Baby Boomer DIVA’s I’ve acquired so many wonderful, informative friends that will be “forever” friends and we’ll continue our relationships until we leave this earth. Many of the women are writers and have books to sell and others own businesses. I myself would like to work from home an I’m currently reading a book that one of the DIVA’s wrote, entitled “How To Become a Virtual Assistant” written by Kathie Thomas from Australia.

Next year we are planning the second Spring Baby Boomer Retreat to be held in California, I believe in Huntington Beach. That should be great fun. Maybe we can all go to Knott’s Berry Farm or Disneyland for a day. We don’t have a schedule yet but I know we’ll have more women there than before. Whatever Beverly does it turns out great.

Two of the links you would want to visit is the Baby Boomer DIVAs:
http://babyboomerdivas.com where you can see all the DIVA blogs and http://boomerdivanation.org ,where you can read about what the DIVAs are doing and several other links regarding them. Also you will find many of us listed in the Business Directory at the top of the page.

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...
