“Living large” is an attitude toward life that we believe is never too late to start.
We are a "senior" couple who have decided that almost anything is possible.
We're enjoying life on our own terms &

& fully running, but for now we are simply getting started.
We plan to offer humor, fun & foolishness,
plus seasoned suggestions we believe are helpful:
Self-defense & Safety; Companion Dogs; DIY; Photography; RVing;
Travel; Decorating; Clothes & Closet Organization; Music;
Dealing with Death & Loss; Spirituality.
We also hope to present our new, revised version
of The Rabbi & the Widow - A New Beginning
by Rabbi Charles David Isbell, Ph. D.
Romance and philosophy combine in this engaging, imaginative tale of a grizzled LSU professor Rabbi Baraq Broulliette &
Sara, widowed when her husband of 25 years died of cancer and still finding her new single life baffling.
Their story, told by four who love them, brings varied viewpoints to the same problem: Being alone & searching.
Come see, enjoy the beauty of LSU's campus in springtime, then read as the story begins...

"Ivory stretched her long legs toward the sun, luxuriating in the warmth that enveloped her as she exited the safety of the car.
"Beginning with her first visit, the Louisiana landscape always had welcomed her, and she could sense the tensions of life being released as she strolled across the huge LSU campus, headed for the Quad. Spreading oak trees created a gentle pattern of shade-sun above the paved walkways and lush landscaping. Pink azaleas and purple crepe myrtles splashed color against the rich greenery, while the lemon-scent of magnolia trees wafted through the balmy air.
"Yes, she loved the university campus, but Ivory was a sun bunny, not a scholar, and she had come to enjoy the sun, the sights, and the enticing aromas.
"Now, surrounded by classic Southern ambiance and handsome, hundred-year-old buildings enclosing the Quad, Ivory lost herself in daydreams. This was the ideal setting for a picnic and it perfectly suited her mood. Once the heart of campus life, the “Quad,” as the Quadrangle had been known since its dedication in 1926, now offered a nostalgic look back at what was and what might have been....."

OUR latest ADVENTURE now includes presenting videos:

This is our first attempt at filming (with an iPhone 7x).
At the time, Charles --- recovering from a stroke --- was working with a physical therapist trying to get the use back of his hands. Physical therapy was working! This was filmed so that Charles could show the therapist how far they had come together. His left hand had been nearly useless, but not any more! |

As you might know, Christmas & the first day of Hanukah were both on December 25, 2024.
We hope you enjoy Charles and his arrangements of holiday music, including "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin (also Jewish) & "I Believe". This is an impromptu recording, made on the spur of the moment with our iPhone 7x. We sent this to our friends & want you to be our friend, too. |
