A favorite blogger writes: "What has happened to all the women who are done with child-rearing? Young voices permeate the blogosphere." What do sixty-something women do with their lives, especially if they do not have full-time jobs? We're here to find that out.

Wednesday
Wednesday is a bridge day. The setting is beautiful and the company is refined. But it's not the same as the cutthroat game at the VFW Hall where I play on Tuesday and Thursday nights. And there are no "points" involved.
Still, who can resist a setting like this?
Afterwards there are errands. I make an abortive run to the dry cleaners to pick up things for daughter H. Not ready yet - grrr. Then I stop off to check out the newly remodeled A&P. Yikes! This is not your grandmother's A&P! Truffles!? Under lock and key! Ever since Whole Foods came to town the other markets have been tripping over each other to try to compete. We are getting a giant-size NEW Whole Foods in West Orange any minute, and now there is talk that there will be a local Trader Joe's. I'm not complaining.
We just got a new Whole Foods and it's HUGE. Two levels, restaurants and different food stations here and there... it's insane (and wonderful)! And a Trader Joe's opens about five minutes from me in one month and five days, but I'm not excited or anything.
Do you ever watch Iron Chef America? In an episode I saw the other night (battle chicken eggs w/Bobby Flay and some anonymous challenger) the challenger was throwing truffles around like it was nobody's business. Seeing that price tag is making me wince, quite literally!
Supermom: I think our big new WF will be more like yours. I was reading about yours in the JS online; I love the idea that it's tied into a health-care facility!
Holly: Not blaming your for the wild goose chase - no problem!
I'm sixty-five. I still live in the same suburban NJ house where I raised my three daughters. They wonder what I do all day. Now they will be able to find out, and so will I.

Oh duh, just remembered you don’t have a TV.
