🎃ctober 31, 2024  Hello Ok Boomer friends! Please take some quiet time to pray for all those affected by the recent hurricanes.🙏 Laura and Jean agree that it is a "big event" to walk down to the mailbox and get the mail every day. Do you use the daily email USPS Informed Delivery?  We celebrated some family birthdays this month- Laura's twins are 32 years old! Laura is 64 years old, which is mathematically quite exciting for Laura. (And we enjoyed Laura's famous pretzel salad.)   Our fans can probably guess that we discussed many strange and startling Halloween experiences. Colorful pumpkin displays are everywhere and Fall Festivals are delightfully spooky. What is more fun, trick or treating with the kiddos or passing out the candy?  Hallowe'en pop quiz time! What was the original name of candy corn? And more Fall facts!    We would love to hear from you on Instagram, X, and Facebook @OK_BoomerPod.

Eppy 122: Friends & Memories      It's now officially sweater weather (and we are summer gals...)      Speaking of gals, an 81-year-old South Korean fashion model fell short in her bid to become the oldest Miss Universe contestant- but she did win the "Best Dresser" award! Well done!      Laura shares her wonderful weekend with her gal pal running team. How did they fair in the Akron Marathon? Well, they opted to skip the running and instead indulge in a spa day, and gourmet dinners. Well done to them!    Laura, our science gal, waxed on about the new "mini-moon", then pumpkin carving and the new "Jelly Donut Blush."      We love Lucy and all the shows of the 1960's. We remember the shows for their humor, endearing characters, the move to social awareness- "The Carol Burnett Show", "MASH", "All in the Family", and so many more!      We'd love to hear from you!
