The Netherlands and Belgium

by Pam Sievers 10 Comments

Early one morning, I stood at the bow of the ship and let the cool breeze stroke my face. I lifted my chin, smiled and imagined my arms outstretched at my shoulders and as we sailed across the sea, I began to sing My Heart Will Go On. I WAS Rose Dewitt, the Kate Winslett character in Titanic. Except for the cinched waist. And fancy clothes. And Leonardo DiCaprio. In April, Kathy and I traveled to Belgium and the Netherlands on our first Viking River Cruise, and the stops and the Continue Reading

Breaking up is hard to do

by Pam Sievers 19 Comments

Why is it so hard to let go of stuff? I’m in the midst of preparing for a move across the country which will result in some major lifestyle changes as well. Example? Good-bye snow boots, hello flip-flops. The move is scheduled for mid-July and fortunately, I started packing weeks ago. Some stuff is easy, and the decision between packing, recycling, donating or tossing is simple. But it’s also easy to get hung up on decisions. And second guess. And wrangle your hands. And lose sleep. Why? Continue Reading

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

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.
