Biscuit’s NBF
Note: NBF is short for New Best Friend...or is it New Boy Friend? Biscuit is a very sociable canine. She makes friends easily and not long ago she was introduced to Sir Quachi, a Maltese mix from Mexico. There was immediate chemistry (could this possibly be a romantic situation?)

As The World Spins
Due to the nature of my husband's job we've moved often- thirteen times to be exact. This meant we did not spend a lot of time living in any one house. Fast forward to retirement and the house we have now lived in for thirteen years. A record for us by far. And while staying in a house this long has brought us comfort and ease, there have also been a few surprises of the maintenance variety.

Biscuit the Influencer
Biscuit here. Becoming a member of the Sisterhood of The Travelling Shoes has changed my life. Never in my wildest puppy dreams did I think I would ever become a “thing.” At best I thought I would be just a happy dog living out my days laying in the sunshine, chasing my tail, and getting treats for being a good girl! But boy was I wrong – it has turned out to be quite a ride! So, I’d like to give you a glimpse into my journey in becoming a social media influencer. Members Only I was honored when I was asked to join the Sisterhood, but quite frankly I…

What Color Is Your Binder?
What do three sisters, one in her fifties, one in her sixties and one in her seventies talk about when they get together? All the usual stuff - what new medications we're on, the price of hearing aid batteries, the silly things millennials do, and recently, organizing our "affairs." And after recognizing that we aren't getting any younger, our thoughts naturally turned to what we affectionately refer to as "the green binder", which is where our father had his estate organized right down to the last detail. Its been several years since the green binder has been opened, but its legacy lives on for each sister in a different way.

Saturdays With the Sisterhood
Once upon a time, there were three sisters affectionately known as.........."The Sisterhood." Theirs is a long standing relationship, having been acquainted with each other since the birth of Little Sis in 1965. It is a connection that is unbreakable and as you can see, on occasion they even dress alike. More importantly, they are united in a dedication to honor their late mother, Betty. Hence the creation of this blog and their Instagram account titled "Betty Would Love That," because they sincerely hope that Betty would in fact, love what they are doing.

The Eyes Have It
For a person my age, I think I’ve been pretty lucky in the health department. Low thyroid, high blood pressure, the odd memory lapse and an arthritic hip, but that’s about it. For the last few years though, my Optometrist has been telling me I’m going to need cataract surgery soon. Well, it seems soon has arrived. Easy Peasy? I was not really worried about having cataract surgery. I’d heard from friends and family that it was a quick, relatively painless, straight forward procedure and really nothing to lose sleep over. And the fact that I may not have to wear glasses afterwards was a huge bonus. I was excited…

Unsolicited Retirement Advice For Little Sis
Big and Middle Sis have both been retired for a number of years now and both have adjusted remarkably well to this dramatic, life changing event. In contrast, Little Sis appears destined to continue her employment for the immediate future. That hasn't stopped Big and Middle, however, from offering words of retirement wisdom on a regular basis, but it is our belief that to date, it has mostly gone unheeded. Convinced that Little is in need of a comprehensive and informed plan, well in advance of retirement, we offer the following invaluable advice, born of real life experience. Listen up Little.....we're talking to you.🤔

A New Perspective
So here we are in 2023. A year of possibilities stretched out in front of us. Naturally talk among the Sisterhood turned to what we thought the new year would bring and not surprisingly Big, Middle and Little Sis all had different ideas about how the year would shape up and what they plan to focus on.

What’s In Your Closet?
The other day I saw a piece about how "granny chic" style is all the rage right now. The article said it is defined as "donning vintage-style pieces like crochet sweaters and eyeglass chains." I suppose I should be happy that I am finally going to be on the cutting edge of style, being as how I am an actual grandma.
