Living in the ‘great white north’ leaves little room for an exciting life. I am a very proud mother of 3 children which are currently flying from the nest, leaving me with my preciously-loved dachshunds, Oscar and Meyer, along with their big fat sister cat named Cuddles.

Entering into my 50th year, I feel I want to give something back. I feel a need to promote health & fitness to baby boomers so I started my new life creating books. I invite you to view my handbooks and workbooks at www.siscanbooks.com I would also like to introduce to you my latest (and proudest) book called “My Personal BABYBOOMER RETIREMENT Book”. It is a combined Journal, Memory and family information book to assist every baby boomer to ease into retirement years.

Since joining the NABBW back in February, I have been visiting this sister site continuously and I am overwhelmed by the kindness and warmth of the forums. I feel very comfortable in this community and I intend to continue to be a part of it.

Sincerely, L.M. Richard

Welcome LRich!

This is a great site! It's been a blessing to me during a recent challenge.

(I'm a vintage boomer and am entering my 59 year, so "fifty" sounds young to me!)

Well said, Irich and welcome to the forums! We're so glad you've chosen to join in on the fun and create a home here with us. I guarantee you that you'll be glad you did. We have several active members from Canada, and ones that use to live there, so I'm sure you all have a lot in common.

I checked out your books yesterday, along with your sister's cat book. All very good!

Once again welcome! Take your shoes off, grab some java or the drink of your choice, and have some fun. You're gonna luv it here.

JJ

Thanks for the welcome emjay. Somehow I feel I need to be a part of this community as I learn to adjust to my empty nest. I too feel this site will assist me in getting thru my newest life challenge.

Irich, welcome aboard. I am in my mid 50's (I was about to say early, and suddenly realized I am creeping into my middle 50"s) and have been hanging around here for about one year.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Thank you JJ for the warm welcome! I checked out your site as well...(thanks for visiting mine) and you have 2 of my most favorite life pleasantries—reading and laughing. I will definitely be picking up a copy of your book on my next book run. (up here in the ‘great white north’ we can’t just go and get a copy so we order books by the group).

And about my sister, she is on her way to publishing her second book as well and we have this joint venture on our site to promote all of our books together. She lives in Ontario and I in Manitoba and we work together through the internet. Electronics are great that way! I am going to introduce her to this forum which I am certain she will join.

Warmest regards JJ

Thank you Anno. It would seem that you and I have a couple of things in common….I have 4 hardcopy workbooks and 4 digital download workbooks. The focus of my books is geared towards babyboomer’s health and fitness and are available at www.lulu.com as well. I am looking forward to being a member of this community.

Linda

Well thank you, Mountain Ash for popping in and sharing that with me. Scotland eh? I am impressed. It’s good to be here.

Am a 48 boomer here..in Vancouver, before in Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario area over 25 yrs.

If you are promoting boomer fitness.....do you bike? I am a dedicated cyclist..boomer cyclist for past 14 yrs.. and probably for life.

Lots of canucks! Welcome to the neighborhood. Glad you chose to join us after hanging out in the background. Two newbies, and sisters to boot. You can't beat that!

Thanks for the welcome....horses have always been a favorite of mine too. They go way back to childhood times. That sure seems like a lifetime ago......

Thanks for your greeting Hannelore...I certainly agree with your reply.

Linda

Thank you fellow Canadian….I am pleased to be here even though I am from way up in the ‘great white north’. I was raised on country sunshine just outside of Toronto. I do enjoy cycling, all though not as passionately as you. I have a health and fitness routine I follow. It pleases me to hear that you are focusing on your health AND your passion. That is very important to me—health and wellness combined. Keep up the good work with your dedication to cycling. I am committed to my well-balanced lifestyle covering fitness, health and wellness.

Regards,

Linda

Thanks Dotsie....I am definately feeling a warm welcome here and I think my sister and I will be staying for awhile.

Linda

Thank you fellow Canadian….I was raised in southern Ontario and I currently have a niece living in Ottawa, Ontario. Actually my entire family lives in southern Ontario and I also have an Uncle with the same last name as yours….hhmm could be a small world. Thanks again for popping in……

Linda

Yuhoooooo....sistah DKruz! Welcome girlfriend. Its not every day that we get sistahs in here joining at the same time. Just how cool is that? I have to tell you that I love your cat book. It capture me. I have the site bookmarked so that when I have more time I can go back and stay longer, read more about you two enterprizing gals.

Welcome to our home here on the net. Our home is YOUR home!

Welcome DKruz! Now don't be telling any secrets about each other! I hope you have fun here, too.

Welcome lrich you'll love it here.

Anno I like the new picture. Where you going?

Welcome Linda and DKruz! I love Canada but have only been there twice, not to your areas yet. I'm one of the old-timers here who became another year older today
