An Ordinary Life
Maybe it’s just me – I readily admit that I’m nosy – but I find it interesting to hear how other people spend their days, particularly women at home. People often ask what I *do* and my best answer is that I’m not sure but it takes all day. I decided to think back on…
Memory Lane Monday…Jack LaLanne
Last night I read that Jack LaLanne had passed away at the age of 96. He lived a very long and extraordinarily healthy life and was an inspiration to many. I can well remember watching his show when I was a little girl. Here is a video of his very first show in 1951. No,…
