Dave and Gwen's Baby Boomer Show

We share the recent addition of our 4th grandbaby and our thoughts about the downfall of our beloved country.

Our son, daughter-in-law and our 5 y/o and 7 y/o grandkids came to visit us from Indiana. We took the whole family (including our younger son, his wife and 2 y/o) to Disneyland and stayed for two nights in Anaheim.

So much is happening in the world, we discuss some current issues and our fear and sadness of what is happening in the world. So dreading Trump 2.0. How could this happen?

We talk about our recent two week trip to Antarctica on the Viking Polaris. Life changing....

We talk about the frustration, anger, sadness we feel about the recent Presidential election. We also talk about the joy of our grandkids and hopes for our family.

We talk about our recent cruise with our kids (sons, daughter-in-laws, grandkids) as well as Biden dropping out and our hope for Harris.

Hard to believe Trump is guilty on all 34 counts and the issue is hush money for a porn star. Shameful and so worried about our democracy.The country is split and we are not sure we will heal.

Biden and Trump on Repeat, the Nightmare Continues. We talk about Putin and Netanyahu, migration and other catastrophic fears. But hope prevails!

We talk about our recent cruise to Greece and Italy. We summarize our year in 2023 and our hopes and fears for 2024. Happy New Year!!!!!

What a wonderful trip and what a way to celebrate Gwen's 70th. Americans have much to learn about the kindness and hospitality of the French. Travel changes you.....

So looking forward to have a vacation and celebrate Gwen's 70th birthday. We also provide updates about out kids, grandkids and political events. So angry about #45 and what this has done to our country.

We flew to Miami on 05/31 and met our Son, Daughter-in-Law and our two oldest Grandkids (ages 3 and 6). We went on the Disney Magic for a four night cruise to Nassau and Disney Cay. This was the first vacation for our grandkids and they got to play in the ocean, the beach and see Minnie, Mickey and Ariel. We hadn't seen this family in two years and it was spectacular being together.

Happy Mother's Day! We leave for the second attempt for the Disney Cruise in two weeks. Babysat our 10 month old granddaughter and we still got it!

We share updates about the earthquake in Turkey, Valentine's Day, the 5th anniversary of my sister's death and our wonderful kids and grandkids.

Well, we wanted to go on a cruise in 2022 but "life happens". Happy New Year to all and may 2023 bring us new journeys and peace....

Grandbabies in Indiana have been sick, grandbaby in Buellton turns 5 months! We talk about our upcoming Mediterranean cruise and worries about the winter trifecta--FLU RSV, COVID

Dave turned 70 and we visited with our son and daughter-in-law and 4 month old grandbaby. I made Dave's Mom's (Memo) spaghetti and we were able to host a zoom with all of our family. Felt the love....We also talk about our worries with the upcoming midterm elections

Another birthday and what a gift. Dave and I are the same age. We babysat our 2 month old granddaughter and we talk about recent news and plans for our upcoming Disney cruise trip. Major heat wave...

Our granddaughter was born at the same hospital where I worked for many years as well as Dave's Mom. Also this hospital is where our sons were born. We also talk about Herr Idiot Oompa Loompa and our hopes for the future (not Joe Biden). the BA-5 Covid variant is rampant and we still isolate as much as possible. Fires and floods and heat domes. Climate change continues...

We talk about the two historic days (06/23, 06/24) and the Supreme Court decisions. OK to conceal a gun and women no longer have constitutional rights for abortions. A new grandbaby any day now...

We talk about the recent Politico story that disclosed the plans for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade. We discuss anger for the "right" Republicans and loss of our democracy. Gwen shares her recent cataracts surgeries and colonoscopy as cruel and inhumane! Happy Mother's Day!

Such worry as we watch the slaughter of innocents in Ukraine. A mass exodus as people leave their homeland. We also talk about Gwen's recent breast surgery and the joy and relief of good health.

Dave consulted with our physician and we decided to get the third shot (booster) for COVID which continues to be a nightmare in the US with hospitals rationing care. Never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

The world is being challenged. The Delta variant has created chaos between those who believe in the vaccination and those that do not. My sister and my brother-in-law would have been married 50 years ago today. She died 3 years ago. Other updates during these challenging times.

We talk about getting our first COVID shot and the sadness of losing more than 500 million in America to this horrible virus.

The impeachment trial (second) lasted five days and #45 was acquitted by a vote of 57 to 43. The Democrats did a wonderful job and it was so disturbing seeing the videos of the insurrection. The defense attorneys were idiots and the majority of the Republicans voted based on party lines. We also talk about the 3rd year anniversary of the death of my sister. I miss her...

So much to talk about as the events of the last week unfolded. A recorded phone call where Trump is asking the Secretary of State in Georgia to Find 11,780 votes to win the election. The runoff senator election results in both Democrat contenders winning and Trump and his family and Guiliani spearhead a coup on the Capital. COVID is out of control, especially in California. As of today, 373K have died in the U.S.

In this episode we talk the past year, good and bad, and our prophecies for the coming year. We worry about COVID and feel the wagons are circling. This winter will be historic and we pray our loved ones remain safe and healthy, as well as all of our listeners.

In this episode we share our continuing experience with COVID-19. Dave returned to work. White House briefings have stopped (at least not as many) after Trump disastrously suggested that people use Chlorine Bleach or Lysol to ward off the virus. Hard to believe that 65.000 Americans have died so far. Many in nursing homes. Continuing to pray. In other news our granddaughter turned 3 and she brings such happiness when she calls me on Alexa Show. Our grandson turned 2 months old.

In this episode we talk about the impact COVID-19 has on our little world. Dave is working from home and we have a daily rhythm that is working. We watch the daily white house briefings and the circus with Donald Trump never ceases to amaze us. Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx are the only members of this team that make sense. Pence is a total suck-up to Herr Trump. Spring is here and we get to go for walks and enjoy the weather. Hard to believe that 35.000 Americans have died so far. Continuing to pray.

In this episode we talk about the rapidity the Coronavirus has altered the world. All Californians are required to stay home (noon-essential) and the disease has changed the world. The stock market is lower than it has been in years. We need to stay 6 feet away from people and there is a shortage of paper products. Never in our lives have we experienced these worries. We are considered the "vulnerable" group (over 60) but we are in better shape because our overall health is good. Praying for the world.

Rants and raves on issues related to being grandparents and Americans.
