Buying flowers for myself on a weekly basis, has now become something my husband looks forward to. Go figure. I’m crazy about flowers and a friend sent me a link to this video and I can’t help but share it with you. I’m sending it on to my granddaughters because I’m pretty sure one of them for sure has inherited my flower “bug.” Maybe you’ll want to do the same after you watch: La Vida de las Flores.

When I got into the

Aggravated is often the emotion I feel when I hear the younger generation messing with a classic Boomer song. Attentive is how I feel about the younger generation improving upon our beloved Boomer Hula Hoops. I bought one (it wasn’t “weighted”) and let me tell you, it’s NOT like getting back on a bike. My hooping skills are hiding. It seems the hooping of the 50″s has nothing to do with the hooping of today, where you’ll find Hoop Dance,
