Thanks to the Rotary Club for your hospitality! Great group! Great purpose! Shine on Rotarians!

Those who attended Tuesday's meeting were treated to some great stories and some laughs courtesy of Bobbe White - Speaker - Try Laughter! Inc.. Bobbe shared with us some of her favorite stories from her new book "Wait! What? We're the parents now?" Bobbe told us stories of what it is like to deal with aging parents and how to make the tough decisions. We appreciate her taking the time to visit us.

Wrapping up my book on the ups, downs & role reversals of aging parents or other loved ones in decline. Taking a poll on a chapter on traditions.

What food or item did your parent(s) take and, now, do you ALWAYS take to the mourners home?

Let me know if you want to be listed as first name, last initial, or anonymous.

I'll go first:
If Mom prepared "One Dish Dinner," (ground beef/noodle casserole) I knew someone had died.

Thanks so much!

Practicing Help Thanks Wow Bobbe White - 8/02/2020 I asked a friend to recommend a book that had been helpful to her during a tough time as I needed an idea for a struggling friend. She sited Anne Lamott’s bestseller, “Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers.” The ironic thing is that I had given it to her in 2012! [ 630 more words ]

Good Friday Morning! I didn’t mean Good Friday, exactly, or is it? In psychology circles, we call this, “Reality Orientation” and some of us a really struggling with simple things, like, “What day is it?” SHORT BUT SWEET post today readers. My pinky is impaired. Yesterday I joined a sorority called “Phi Slamma Jamma.” (See photo.) If you revise the song title, “I Fought the Vault and the Vault Won,” and you know I am a banker, then do the math.

(Not now, any time). It’s not cost, space or lack of serving pieces and dishes. Now, that I’ve inherited Mom’s pieces, we are more than equipped. It’s because we have a noise problem. Her name is Lily White, a black Lab with a persistent personality. She’s a beggar. It’s Jeff’s fault, not mine. He claims Lily saved his life while hunting. [ 368 more words ]

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Jeff, the other side of Bobbe. She asked me to write a guest blog. I assume this first time request was in disguise of her saying, “You’re bored. Leave me alone!” The Times Are A-Changin’. In so many small ways, this damn virus is changing lives. For myself, I see so many changes that are positive in the environment, which is otherwise filled with so much negativity. [ 487 more words ]

The OG of eternal optimists, Dad had a great outlook on life. Sometimes too much so! Sometimes, I’d want to say, “Mediocre down, Dad, mediocre down!” He had oodles of life experiences – some life threatening, but his attitude carried him through most of them. Irvie didn’t do well without answers. He’d really be struggling with the current pandemic. Eventually, he’d come around and resort to a saying, which I’ve said or thought of frequently.

Unusual times call for connecting with your bunch! (ElleGee Design: illustrator) Feeling a bit on edge and a little (lot) scared? Are you claustrophobic at home already with nowhere to go? Even Lily White, the black Lab, is confused, “I need my space!” She growled. For now, it’s our new normal. And we are the pioneers. Will we – or a loved one - get sick? [ 629 more words ]
