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.

I'll have what she's having....
Other languages - Urdu, for example - have a special word for "the mother of my daughter's husband". English is clumsy in that respect. At any rate, there are two of these special people in my life, and one of them is here for an extended visit. Yesterday we spent some time together in the city. Here we are at lunch. I have ordered the bento box, and she has chosen the open-face salmon sandwich.
Wait a minute! Yours looks so much better than mine! Waitress! I have changed my mind!
Ah! Much better. Delicious! I didn't photograph the tiny desserts: little rectangles of coconut custard with mango puree. Perfection.
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.

That DOES look better, whatever it is. No Bento boxes in Tulsa that I can find however.
Also enjoyed reading about Urdu on Wiki.

Check out the Palace Cafe for a bento experience in Tulsa. Sounds like a cool place!
