It’s Monday, so that must mean it’s time, once again for the Blogging Boomers Carnival.
A blog carnival is a collection of bloggers who write about a similar topic or from a similar perspective – in this case, we’re all baby boomers writing about baby boomer issues. Once a week, we submit our best posts to the host who includes the links in the Carnival.
I’m the host this week so below you’ll find links from my fellow carnival members.
I encourage you to not only visit each blog and read the posts, but join in the conversation by leaving a comment, sharing it on Facebook or Tweeting about it. The choice is yours.
Enjoy!

Lebanese food is delicious and ilili is one of the Accidental Locavore’s favorite restaurants. When the chance came to take a class at DeGustibus with Philippe Massoud from ilili, I was quick to sign up. The classes there are always interesting; while the chef stands there and works really hard (or looks like he’s working hard), you sit there, eating and drinking. Fun, right? See what was on the menu
