Boomer Bloggers…

First there were Mommy Bloggers, now Boomer Bloggers. Life after raising the kids. We’ve hit that time in our lives when we have survived the diapers, carpools, and endless sports practices and games. There is finally time for us.

Wine on the Keyboard is about us. The Baby Boomers. Born between 1946 and 1964. Though this blog welcomes all ages. We talk about this new stage of life. When we have time to actually do things for ourselves. Explore new options. Heck, even decide what we want to be when we grow up.

We talk about hobbies (now that we have time for them). We talk about grown up kids. (If they ever really do grow up). Empty nests. Grown kids moving back home. Paying for college. Downsizing. Travel. Retirement. Whether to cover that gray hair or not…

Come join in the community here.

About Kacey

I grew up in the midwest…lived here my whole life. Yes, I’ve dreamed of living in exotic places, and darn it all, I WILL retire to somewhere warm and sunny. Some day. Here I am. Young. Cute. With crooked bangs. I always had crooked bangs. Blame my mom.

I’ve always loved to write.  Placed in a short story writing contest somewhere in the middle school years, and I was hooked. Not that I really ever considered that people grew up to be writers. Who knew? As evidenced by my degree in business from Mizzou. Go Tigers.

I worked in finance and accounting, then stayed home for the years my three kids were young. By the third boy, with what little sanity I had left, I started writing novels. I’ve been writing ever since…with brief breaks to have momentary life crisis moments.

Here are my cute little boys. Years ago. No, the oldest is NOT trying to strangle the youngest. I’m sure. I always had everything under control…Anyway they are all older now…high school and college…and if I can ever get them all together, I’ll add a picture of them all grown up. Well,I don’t know. Do males ever truly grow up???

When I was young I spent summers in Estes Park, Colorado going to Cheley Camp. Though my idea of camping these days is a motel without a minibar… One of my absolute favorite things is hiking in the mountains. In Rocky Mountain National Park I found my favorite place on earth. Skypond. I hiked to it many times, the last time in my forties and darn proud I made it up the waterfall you have to climp up to get there. Here I am celebrating.

I’m now married to the man of my dreams, the biggest supporter of me, my writing, and anything I want to try. He has…two boys of his own…so yes, I’m regularly surrounded by way too much testosterone. Here we are in another of my favorite places: New Orleans.

I firmly believe in happily ever after…I’m living my own right now.
