Posted on 07. Dec, 2011 by Pat in Living
No one ever said raising kids is easy, particularly for single moms. And today, with jobs more demanding for those who have one, harder to find for those who don’t, and extended family scattered, it’s becoming even more difficult and lonely for the single parent.

Posted on 05. Dec, 2011 by Pat in Living
Is your mom living alone? Is she worried about finances? Or perhaps looking for more community? You may want to tell her about a new housing concept for single baby boomer women.
If she freaks out because she thinks you’re suggesting assisted living, a home for the aged or some type of elder care, don’t worry, it’s far from that. Rather, it’s a way to live better on less, with community and friendship. If you’ve seen the television show Golden Girls, you immediately get it.

Friday Is Veterans’ Day – Thank a Soldier

This Friday is Veteran’s Day. Let’s remember to thank a soldier.
“It’s the soldier, not the reporter, that gives you freedom of the press. It’s the soldier, not the poet, that gives you freedom of speech. It’s the soldier, not the campus organizer, that allows you to demonstrate. It’s the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag, that allows the protester to burn the flag.
