I used to be fairly quick at adapting to change. After all, I am a Gemini, and we’re known for being adaptable, curious, and social. Out of those three, I think I’m only curious these days! My ability to be adaptable was recently put to the test in Mexico of all places. My husband andContinue reading “Tacos? Sure, I can adapt”

Dealing with Aging Parents. Oh right, that’s me!
A few weeks ago, my daughter told me she had listened to an interesting interview on CBC Radio. The interview was with an author who had recently published a book. I was somewhat surprised by the title of that book: Let’s Talk About Aging Parents. What? Was she referring to me? After she told meContinue reading “Dealing with Aging Parents. Oh right, that’s me!”
