Editor’s Note: Julia is out of town this week. Enjoy this oldie from 2016. It was a day like any other…I got up, made coffee and went to brush my teeth. We were spending the weekend at the lake, but this was Friday morning and Marty, my husband, was at his office working. We often go up on Thursdays to... READ MORE >
I’ve just been to London and Paris on the trip of a lifetime with one of my very best friends, and I am just overwhelmed with gratitude we were able to have this time together in such amazing and beautiful places. We landed in London first, and it was a week to remember for sure. Then, partially because it was... READ MORE >
Editor’s Note: Julia is still out of town this week… enjoy an oldie but a goodie. “Oh for crying out loud, Julia…NOW what?” This was from my husband, Marty, the other day as I was opening yet another box mailed from afar. He was remarking on my latest “medical miracle,” some foot pads from Japan that claim they draw all... READ MORE >
Editor’s Note: Julia is vacationing this week. Please enjoy an oldie but a goodie from a few years ago. I know I’ve complained about this before but our world is becoming unpeopled and humanless. Technology is taking over every single person-to-person encounter we’ll ever have! And I hate it! I hate it when I need to talk to a utility... READ MORE >
I don’t know about this aging business. It’s really beginning to get on my nerves. Everywhere I go, it seems like the cashiers, bank tellers, doctors, all the clerks, and pretty much EVERYONE EVERYWHERE look like they’re 12-years-old! The other day as I was driving downtown near the USC campus, those students look like they belong in Sunday School instead... READ MORE >
If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s that aging is absolutely NOT for sissies! The older I get, the more this lesson repeats itself. People in their 20s and 30s are oblivious to aging and all the little aches and pains that start to appear. If they get a headache, it’s just a headache. They pop a couple of... READ MORE >
When I was a young girl, I always worried about getting sick after marriage. In my childlike mind, I knew I wasn’t looking my best with a cold. I get a big red nose, blotchy skin, and weak and watery eyes. I wondered how married ladies hid their maladies from their husbands because I didn’t think it was a good... READ MORE >
“Julia…I think you double ordered the pet food by mistake. There’s another box out here from Chewy. We just got one a couple of days ago.” When I heard this from my husband, Marty, I knew I was busted. We started ordering online during the whole COVID insanity. It was so convenient not to have to drag home kitty litter... READ MORE >
Happy New Year everyone! I hope this year brings all good things to us all. It’s the time when many of us want to refresh ourselves, and as always there’s that “new year, new me” attitude, which always fills the gyms and churches for a few weeks. We decide to lose weight, get fit, eat healthier, become more active, or... READ MORE >
Another Christmas is almost here—another year passing and a new one on the horizon. It’s that time of the year when we all start thinking about the New Year and all the changes we can make to be the “new me.” When that happens most people want to quit bad habits and of course, start building new good ones. The... READ MORE >
