Two Old Broads Flee the North for Mexico

by Pam Sievers 14 Comments

It was the end of February, and two old broads from Michigan were sluggish and worn from the sub-zero windchills and the constant forecasts of snow. So, they boarded a nonstop flight from Detroit and five hours later, landed in Mexico. Not the sandy beaches, warm water, fruity drinks México. Instead, they traveled to the colonial city of San Miguel de Allende (SMA) in the highlands (6300 feet) where the days are sunny and warm and the evenings are cool and comfortable. In SMA, the OBs joined Continue Reading

Sleepless in San Miguel

by Pam Sievers 2 Comments

I’m enjoying several days discovering the joys of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and it will be covered in a post next week. And like all other trips I’ve taken, I continue to learn things about myself. This lesson? I’m a sheet snob. If I wrote for HGTV, I’d call our room “authentic, rustic Mexico.” We are staying in a small inn that has five rooms on three levels, and it is easy to imagine it as a beautiful colonial house. If I were to return to San Miguel, I’d probably stay here. The Continue Reading

Bed Skirts: truly a first world problem

by Pam Sievers 14 Comments

It’s been a tough couple of weeks as a Michigan State University supporter, there’s no question about that. But I can’t write about that… yet. Instead, I’ve finally made a decision that’s been weighing on my mind, every single week. My bed skirt has got to go.

Truly a first world problem. Actually, I Continue Reading

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

It took a colder turn in our temperature to get me moving, but I finally hauled out the Christmas decorations last week. Every flat surface and window sill is covered with holiday frivolity. Art work has been removed from the walls and replaced with Christmas scenes in needlepoint and wood. Christmas quilts have come out of hiding. Even door knobs got in the act. The tree anchors one corner of the living area and when the lights are on, the whole room glistens. What do your decorations say Continue Reading

Welcome to my website!


Welcome to my website where my goal is 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. 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 so check out my quilting page. I hope you enjoy!
