Carmen's Chronicles: July 2017

Musings and meanderings, poetic and otherwise, photography, travels, recipes, whatever comes my way that seems interesting to my gray matter!

RNSANE: My 73rd birthday was Oct 3! I am the mother of three terrific sons - Jeremy is 33, Alex is 35, Shawn is 47. I have been blessed with 2 precious grandchildren and two grandsons. My daughter-in-love, Laura, is wonderful.. I am happily divorced. I lost my position of 21 years as a forensic nurse for the city and county of San Francisco in a massive wave of budget cuts ( Feb 2009 )...so I have retired ( which makes me sad! ). Forensic nursing had been the passion of my life and has introduced me to some outstanding people all over the world. I wish I were the curvy, slim creature of my youth - both of my youngest sons have been trying to help me get back to some semblance of that but it seems pretty remote..though I have lost 50 pounds in the past few years. ..nonetheless, I am still enjoying life and will continue to do so until my last breath!! Did my 88th cruise ( most of them have been in the last 20 years ) - have been on ships all over the world - though I certainly enjoy travel by other means. Since Dec 2011, I have spent nearly 3 years in India, a country I have grown to love and can afford on a retiree's income!
