A museum like no other (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Did you know there is a National Museum of Funeral History in Houston? I visited it with a senior tour group last week. It was built in 1992 and has 30,500 square feet of funeral service memorabilia. A quote on the brochure says, âAny day above ground is a good one.â Indeed it is, but we all know that when God calls us home, we will leave this earth someday.  This museum displays many of the rituals and conveyances in which the bodies of people in the past have made that last earthly jou
Does familiarity breed contempt? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is an old saying, âfamiliarity breeds contempt.â It expresses the idea that a close, long relationship with a person or a situation can cause boredom or loss of respect. In my mind, however, I say, âFamiliarity brings comfort.â I like things to be familiar and routine. This is an old person speaking, but I like to know what to expect.

Read excerpt
It almost didnât happen. My red hair was why. In high school, my husband used to garner dates through the efforts of the girlfriend of his best friend.

Access to Care Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is indeed a crisis, especially for those who are old or poor. Just try to get immediate help when you need it. The only place is a hospital ER, and it is usually packed with a wait of several hours. These new freestanding ERs that are popping up everywhere look all professional and glitzy, but if you are old and have to use Medicare for your insurance, they wonât take you. The same applies for those who are on Medicaid. I know it is true because I had yet another health blip last week
Falling down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Life can be like a bad fall. One minute youâre up and the next minute youâre down. And you usually never see it coming. A friend of mine says, âLife can body-slam you to the concrete.â And so, it can. I had a bad fall last year. One minute I was chasing after a toddler, and the next I was flying through the air and landing on my face. Ouch! It was like for one minute I was suspended in a vacuum and then bouncing off the ground. I never saw it coming. Nothing was broken, but I had a prett
