Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: June 2011

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Whether the weather is cold… or whether the weather is hot… we'll weather the weather… whatever the weather… whether we like it or not. It was a perfect day today…weather-wise. Low humidity, clear blue skies, a gentle breeze, bright sunshine. The kind of day you yearn to be outside. For me, though, I ALWAYS prefer to be outside. I detest the air unless it’s 90 and/or extremely high humidity. When it&...

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: March 2011

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Monday, March 14, 2011. Is it me or what? I’m not living under a rock…am I? I like to at least THINK that I stay pretty current with the latest trends, whether it’s in clothes, the latest movies or actors, the latest jargon, or current events. I am not in the dark.entirely. But I am not addressing any of that. I am talking about the pure, unadulterated, cussing-like-a-sailor language…used by young ladies(? Sometimes it was ju...

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: Mother's Day 2013

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2013/05/mothers-day-2013.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Sunday, May 12, 2013. My Mother and Me - 2005. In my effort to write about Mother’s Day during the month of May, my thoughts ran wildly back to my childhood and all the things my mother did for me. Then I recalled that only a short while back, I wrote about my mother, Jean Maddern Pitrone, in one of my previous blogs. 8220;Birthday’s Come and Go WhetherWe’re Here or Not.". 65279;. Note that I said I “ began. This mom is t...

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: April 2011

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Friday, April 29, 2011. A Royal Day Indeed! I witnessed some class today…some major class. The wedding of Prince William and his bride Kate (Catherine) Middleton. Of course, the world was abuzz with all the details of the wedding. I awoke early, 5 am eastern standard time, just in time to get a good seat in front of my television. The event was soon to begin. They demonstrated such dignity and poise. Fairytales can come true.

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Friday, July 19, 2013. It was the Best of Times.it was the Worst of Times. It was the Best of Times.it was the Worst of Times. This Charles Dickens' line seems to sum up my life of the past 7 years. These few years or so have been both amazing (birth of my 5 grandchildren) and heartbreaking. In this short period, I unwillingly became a divorcee after 36 years. Mom and Dad (Anthony and Jean Pitrone). And the care of my parents?

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: Here We Grow Again!

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2013/04/here-we-grow-again.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Here We Grow Again! Many years ago, well before my 36-year marriage dissolved, I received a polished rock with the inscription:. The Best Thing a Father can do for his Children is to Love their Mother. I was given this little souvenir well before the days of the internet, Facebook, cell phones,. I had never heard this quote until I received it as a gift from my then-husband. Hopefully, this next gen...

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: August 2011

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Thursday, August 4, 2011. A Life Cut Short. I did something today that no one ever wants to do. I visited a funeral home and tried to bring even a miniscule amount of comfort to a former neighbor and acquaintance. My former neighbors are a wonderful family. Involved in school and city functions. Today they are burying their son. Gone in an instant. It’s not fair. Parents are not supposed to outlive their children. Joyce Pitro...

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: May 2011

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Saturday, May 28, 2011. As mentioned in my very first post, I am nearing 4 years out of a 40-year relationship with one man. Thirty-six of those years as married. After an agonizing tumultuous first year of barely surviving my divorce proceedings, I began to turn my focus to the internet for helpful suggestions, and to search for others who had been through the same ordeal as I. I had the most amazing support from my family.

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: November 2011

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Changed People, Change People. Today it’s officially been 4 years since my divorce was finalized. I’ve read where it takes about. 1 year to heal for every 5 years married. So, statistically speaking, after my 36 year marriage, before I jump into another committed relationship, I should wait about 7 ½ years. That means I have another 3 ½ years to go. But no need to worry. That was about it. I&#821...

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt...Much!: September 2011

http://joycepitronehawkinswrinklesdonthurt.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Wrinkles Don’t Hurt.Much! Musing from a More Mature and.hopefully.Wiser Female. Friday, September 16, 2011. What began as a simple search for a small can of chicken broth to take a stab at a new soup recipe, ended up as a total purging of my kitchen cupboard. I do skim through my cupboards occasionally. When the boy-scouts solicit door-to-door in their quest for can goods to benefit the local community pantry, I rummage through my cabinets to donate to this worthy cause. Where did the time go? And don&#8...
