Eppy 97: PSL Season

Enough of the March Lion and Snow, and we aren't in the mood for "April Showers"! Here's to April Sunshine and Funtime in #BeautifulOhio! Ditch the umbrella, grab your AirPods and thanks for listening to the antics of "The Real Jean and Laura".Laura starts us off with the highlights of her week, which include family celebrations and many sunny moments. Success with succulents, strange dreams, a Wordle group for hunky movie stars, positive cough drop messages- it's always fun and fascinating with Laura. Jean continues to warble about oatmeal, and also shares a new "nighttime" cereal. She experiments with veggie/fruit concoctions, and is keen on a new "Hot Pot" restaurant. Jean's sewing machine investigations segue into "The Big Topic"- 2023 spring and summer fashion updates! We Boomers chat with some lovely Gen Z gals about what's new and we are all happy with the updated, fresh looks (time to get rid of the bulky grey sweaters, geez!)Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

Eppy 84: A Kettle of BuzzardsSpring is springing and so is Laura! Jean is not springing forward yet; she's falling back on her comfy couch and cheering Laura on! How was your week? The Boomer sisters both had ordinary weeks. There was one small calamity involving a cosmo mishap. We share some observations- from hydroponics to colonoscopies, fun at a kid's play world, and Tik Tok filters. Jean recaps an interesting experience at the car dealership. Have you tried "stacking a habit"? Laura considers exercising while brushing and flossing her teeth. And it's Buzzard Day in Hinckley Ohio! The return of the buzzards has been celebrated there for 66 years. Did you know that a flock of buzzards is called a "kettle"?Jean and Laura continue their big conversation about whether to "Spring Forward" each day with a busy schedule, long to-do lists, big goals and projects. Or- is it better to "Fall Back", and live a simpler, gentler life? Should you be a "Martha"- busy all day- or a "Mary", more contemplative? Are the currents trends encouraging us to lead a more "soft" or "Minimalist" life?We love to hear from you on Twitter and Instagram-@OK_BoomerPod Find out more at OKBoomerPod.com, or any podcast app and YouTube.

Boomers Laura and Jean are back from Florida and Spring is just around the corner. Are you ready to "Spring Forward"? This month, we take a look at what "Spring Forward, Fall Back" means. Of course, that phrase is to help us remember how to reset our clocks. In the spring, we move to "Daylight SAVING Time" (Not "Savings", thanks Laura for reminding us.) We parse the phrase a bit more. Jean believes that some people, like Laura, love to "Spring Forward" into life. Always ready to help, get things done, try new activities. Laura is a great example of a busy, zesty, "Spring Forward" Gal. Jean is more of a "Fall Back", wait and see, more cautious person. Laura added some science to our discussion- how our perception of time changes as we grow older. We can't wait to hear what you think- do you "Spring Forward" into life or do you wait and "Fall Back"? Has time speeded up for you? Our Pod is never just about serious, philosophical topics. This time, we also chat about the latest popular mainstream word, a new coffee trend, and something fun for babies. We laugh about Door Dash and Door Bell stories.Laura shares her feelings about flying- she's not so keen on the turbulence. Jean has a moral issue involving a Kleenex box. Thanks for joining us as we strive to be happy OK Boomers!

Hello! Hello! Jean is in Florida. The sun, the pools, the lounge chairs- let's talk about Self-Love! Is self-love important? God's love is limitless. Why do we struggle to love ourselves? Let's check in with Laura. She's discovered how to love herself with Mint Syrup and coffee. Hopefully this new concoction helps with her BBJ- "Boomer Brain Jumbles". Plus, it's time for her OH to figure out Medicare. So the sisters wonder, "What exactly is 'Self-Love'?" Is it practicing Marie Komodo's "Spark Joy"? What about watching sports with friends and family? Or a daily Yoga practice? Dry Brushing? Caring for plants? How about trying new activities- like water skiing? Or kayaking?Can we develop "Resilience" by taking care of ourselves? Turns out "Hugs" may be the best way to increase our love for others and ourselves! Happy Hugs from the OK Boomers!
