A trip, in three acts

by Pam Sievers 18 Comments

My recent Road Scholar trip was absolutely amazing. In my mind, Iconic National Parks from the Grand Tetons to Banff played out in three acts. Act One - The parks. Mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, hot springs, geysers, mudpots, fumaroles, canyons, waterfalls, rocks being formed, gorges, prairies and plains, icefields and glaciers. We saw (and learned about) it all. Yellowstone takes the cake in having the most varied topography. I'd never been there so everytime I saw some earth bubbling Continue Reading

Aging is a humbling experience

I'm headed to my first Road Scholar experience next week, and I couldn't be more excited. Are you familiar with the program? Their mission is to inspire adults to learn, discover and travel. It used to be called Elderhostel and I first became aware of the program 35 years ago when my aunt went on a couple of trips. They were of course, for old people. https://www.roadscholar.org/ Aging is a humbling experience, isn't it? And now I'm going on a trip for old people. You get the Continue Reading

Life in a frying pan

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

New Mexico Visit

New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment. After recently spending two weeks traveling throughout the state, I’m calling it the Land of Enlightenment. Our interest in visiting our 47th state was initiated by artwork including jewelry and pottery that we’d seen at the annual Native American Market at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. Much of it comes from artists from the various Native American Pueblos in New Mexico, so we went in search of … Pueblos What exactly is a Pueblo? Here’s my 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.
