A NOTE FROM THE “BOOMER IN CHIEF:” Recently, one of my collegiate girlfriends posted photos on on Facebook, sharing that her newly retired husband had just beautifully completed an advanced yard project, and noting that if any friends thought it looked like something their yard would appreciate, she’d send him over, noting that he “has a lot of extra time between yoga and long road bike rides.

By  Anne L. Holmes, APR NABBW’s “Boomer in Chief” Recently, Rick Montgomery, a reporter for the Kansas City Star called me, in my role as the Boomer in Chief of the National Association of Baby Boomer Women, for an interview.

There has been a gradual increase in interfaith marriages over the past two decades and more than... Read More

Recently, a close friend (73, widow of three years) confided that she\’s been eyeing a good-looking gent at the city council meeting. After she related a story of chatting briefly with a ‘man my age\’ at Good Will, and bumped into him again ‘that very same day\’, I suggested that she may be ready to begin dating. “Oh gracious no”, she replied. “I\’m too old, too busy. I\’d have to get laser treatments for these age spots and lose some weight.” “And you\’re scared,” I responded. “But believe me, you\’re ready.” I advised her to give herself... Read More
