Life in a frying pan

by Pam Sievers 21 Comments

My friend, Karen, gets up at 5:00 a.m. to drive her dog to a patch of grass two miles away. He does his business, then runs around like crazy for a few minutes. The rocks and sidewalk around her house are already too hot for his feet. At 5:30 a.m., Kathy leaves the house in the golf cart for a 6:07 tee time. Her cooler is stocked with sports drinks. I hear the neighbor’s outdoor workmen who begin 6:00 a.m.. By 7:00 a.m., I’m grocery shopping. I smooth out the reflective screen across Continue Reading

Yoga in the Key of D

by Pam Sievers 4 Comments

For much of the time I’ve lived in Arizona (minus the COVID era), I’ve taken yoga from Peaches, a 72 year old tall, thin woman who is the very definition of lithesome. Saturday mornings, I envision myself the same until I try and assume positions that remind me I am not lithesome. Oh well. "Let’s set an intention of flexibility today." Peaches recently introduced us to her new Abyssinian bowl that comes in its own carrying case. I couldn’t help but think of my mother’s old hat boxes when I Continue Reading

From Steel Bands to Bidets – My Salute to 2022

by Pam Sievers 37 Comments

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is always a time of reflection for me. The good, the bad and the funny of the outgoing year as well as looking forward. I started 2022 in Los Angeles where I attended the Rose Parade with a friend who waved at every. single. unit. that marched down or along the route; even the Hare Krishnas who were the warm-up for the actual parade. For the first time, I realized how great it is to surround yourself with people filled with joy.  During the Continue Reading

The charm of a charm bracelet

Raise your hand if you had a charm bracelet. Can’t you just hear the jingle jangle of family vacations, school activities, hobbies, and religious celebrations? Chances are, if you were a woman raised in the 50-70’s, you may have had a charm bracelet. According to my research, they surged post-World War II, and peaked in the early 1960’s, yet I recall their popularity in the late 60’s-early 70’s. “The charm bracelet has evolved over the decades, but still retains its basic concept…a bracelet Continue Reading

Welcome to my website!


Welcome to my website where my goal was to fill the pages with writing that induces gut wrenching laughs. Since I have no spouse, in-laws, children, grandchildren or pets, I have to work a whole lot harder than most humor writers. Hence, instead you’ll find a blog that features travel, contemplative reflections, and of course some humor – you can’t embrace middle age without it. When not writing, I enjoy quilting, learning about other cultures, and living in the Arizona desert.
