Have a Super Weekend!
Foto Friday!-Wait! Got a Jump start on the weekend!-LOL:)
Here’s another flashback from my not too long ago 50th Birthday shoot shot by that fabulous photographer husband of mine Billy Brown. We have been working together for thirty years now and enjoy having a close creative partnership! We have thousands of images…..but I won’t bore you with all those ~ maybe just this one 😉
Woman Crush Wednesday
My #WCW is The Invisible Woman~ All the fabulous women over the age of 50! It seems to be that every Wednesday on social media is what they call #WCW or Woman Crush Wednesday-naming a woman you have a “crush” on-someone who inspires you. I thought it would be fitting for me to share my June column in B-Metro Magazine for my #WCW. Is there a woman over 50 that inspires you? ~ Sunny:)

Warm Wishes for a Merry Christmas, Everybody! ~Sunny:) xo #staywarm
Happy Halloween from a BOOmer Babe!
Okay, Everybody~ Here is the last of me being such a witch. I have always been a big fan of the Pin-Up Girl (and so has my husband!) and we have had a good time creating these little mini pin-up style “posters” with some of the out takes from my October B-Metro Magazine shoot. I’m always trying to entertain you a little;) Even at 50, I guess, once a pin-up girl-always a pin-up girl! I just might celebrate my 50th birthday all year and do these all year long! I’m just having fun! Thank you all for all the likes and following me here. I appreciate it very much! ~Sunny xo
P.S. You can check out a few more of the out-takes in the new photo gallery on the right:)
Happy Halloween!
“High in Heels ~ I’m Tripping!” #FreeGift: Oxygen Mask
In anticipation of my big birthday coming up, I’m taking a walk down memory lane on a sole searching journey through my first 50 years. I am reminded of just how important a role my shoes have played in my self-development over the years. In fact….
I love shoes, I always have. And, I really love stilettos. Thankfully, my husband does, too-on ME! Very early in our marriage, in order to convince him to support my shoe habit, I knew that I would need for him to have a shoe fetish. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. The pair I wore the other night, though, was almost too much for him for so little on me. But, I honestly think it was the sticker shock that left him gasping for air. I had to remind him that the higher the heel- the higher the price, and I couldn’t decide if the Oxygen Mask that came as the “FREE GIFT” was for me to use when I wore them, or for him when he found out how much they cost. Either way, we were both fighting over it, and I really do feel that when a pair of shoes cost that much they should throw in an extra mask.
I have a feeling I’m going to be needing that mask more than ever as the big day arrives!

Spring Break Boomer Babe!
I was out running some errands yesterday and I couldn’t understand why it was so crowded everywhere I went. There was lots of traffic on the roads, the restaurant had a line out the door where I stopped to grab lunch, and the Target was packed. Then I noticed that kids were everywhere and it dawned on me that it was Spring Break.
This is the first time in about 21 years that I am not living on the school calendar. As you may know, this is my first year as an Empty Nester and it has taken some getting used to. Both of my kids are in college on the other side of the country, at different schools, and they have different Spring Breaks, and instead of coming home, they are going on trips with friends. When I realized it was our local Spring Break, I started feeling sad, remembering all the fun family trips we have taken over the years and how much I miss doing that.
I know there are many other family trips and adventures in our future, but for a while it will be more difficult to find a time that works for everybody’s schedules. Our family is going through that awkward stage of the college years, with our children coming home to “visit”- not “living” here anymore, creating their new lives, etc. And, in truth, that’s what I am doing, too. I am creating my new life. And I realized that I can go on Spring Break anytime I want to!
It has literally taken me this long to get it into my mind that I am no longer confined to the 9-5 Mon-Sun rules of the week. Since I freelance I have always enjoyed great flexibility, but as soon as it got close to three o’clock I was always on Mom duty-and all you parents out there know that I am talking about my second job, when I kicked off my heels and changed into a pair of running shoes. But that all changed this year.
My life is new and different this year since becoming an Empty Nester, and so am I. I started this blog, I have many different projects in the works, including my first book. I love making people laugh, writing and performing, as part of the comedy variety group “Feminine Hyjinx”, I am working on my next solo show, too, and many other projects I am excited to share with you as they come along. I hope you will continue to join me, and cheer me on- or cheer me up, as I continue to reinvent myself!
I have no intention of slipping comfortably into life like a pair of worn out slippers. This is one “Boomer Babe” that plans on kicking the bucket in a fabulous pair of stilettos!
I think I hear the beach calling me, now~Cheers! to Spring Break without the kids!

P.S. If you haven’t yet, I hope you will take a minute and check out a sneak peek of my book under the “Book” tab. I can’t wait to share it with you guys. As always, I appreciate everyone that follows me here and that takes the time to comment. Thanks so much:)
