Episode 104: Forever Stamps

The OK Boomers were blessed with a wonderful weekend- Laura and Jean are delighted to share it with you. The last weekend in July was part birthday celebration and part family reunion. The guys in the family golfed. The gals and kids splashed in the pool. We all feasted at a fabulous cookout at Laura's home- "The Farm". And the sunny weather was a special gift. Speaking of celebrations, Jean checked in with our Millennials to learn whether or not office birthdays are still celebrated. Do co-workers still bring a big box of yummy donuts to the break room? Laura reports on the techniques of eating corn on the cob. She mentions a small family calamity. And sadly, Laura missed a special festival in Chicago. We would love to hear from you on Instagram, X, and Facebook @OK_BoomerPod. Find out more at OKBoomerPod.com or any podcast app and YouTube.

Hi friends, we are half-way through 2024! We decided that our favorite podcast conversations so far were when we chatted about our fabulous reversible dresses and our big remodeling projects.  Remember our "Other Halves", a.k.a. "OH's"? Well, they each experienced some zany calamities and "oopsies". A mysterious gas tank, a runaway iPhone, a missing wallet...easy to laugh about now! But bothersome when it happens, right? And it's not just befuddled Boomers, even the millennials had some mishaps recently.We are finally (finally!)realizing that life is full of calamities and problems- but we just say "Hallelujah Anyway!" and keep going! Jean's OH was the one who told us about the "Hallelujah Anyway!" approach- and it works! And cheers to our 86 year old friend Wanda for being a trendsetter!We would love to hear from you on Instagram, X and Facebook: @OK_BoomerPod.
