Can Good Things Come From The Pandemic?
My name is Carol Rodgers. I am a wife, mother and now a proud and spoiled grandmother of a rambunctious two-year-old. During this Covid-19 pandemic, I am stuck inside my home with two adult children who have left the nest and returned. My son came back as he went out, alone. My daughter returned as a wife and mother. She even brought a dog and her husband’s niece!

Being inside so much during this pandemic, I’ve read many magazines, watched an obscene amount of television, talked too much on the phone, and had wa-ay too many Zoom meetings. Yet something great has come out of this quarantine--I have actually sat down and started planning a women’s group. It stems from an idea I’ve had for quite sometime.

Women over 50, have great qualities also. We are beautiful, sexy, and alluring too! Yet we come with something most younger women haven’t attained yet, and that is wisdom! It’s great to be young, but it’s even better to be wise. We’ve been through the fire, we’ve been tested and most of us have come out of the fire better than you went in.
When we’re teasing about age,
