ABOUT | A Merry Old Woman

Welcome to “A Merry Old Woman”. I’m so glad that you are here. As I began to write this blog, I realized that there are thousands of “Mommy” blogs – and even some “Daddy” blogs – about family life and raising children, from infants to teens. But I am past those years and those topics.

But, I had a hard time finding blogs that focused on what comes next – retirement, grandkids, and senior lifestyle issues. I want to explore the world and see the sites that I never had time to see when I was a busy mother with a full time career. So I decided to write about those issues.

On “A Merry Old Woman”, a reader will find articles about:

  • senior issues such a filing for Social Security and Medicare
  • travel and adventure stories
  • places to go
  • & vintage recipes

So come help me explore our world. Let’s do this “retirement” thing together. I’d love to know you dropped by so leave a comment below. And please join the newsletter so you will know when something new is published.

When retirement finally finds me, I look forward to more time with my husband of 45 years, more time with family and friends, and more time to simply celebrate a long and happy life. But no need to wait to celebrate, let's start now. Read More…
