Golden Goalies: Tis the Season

Jan B. As I write this on the last day in November, I see nearly-mature tangerines on our tree. But when you read this, all the citrus will be ripe and tasty, and the smell of citrus will be permeating the seasonal air. Whether you enjoy that aroma or find it unpleasant, well, you can…

Golden Goalies—Those Were the Days

Jan Bobbett Probably everyone can remember the first two lines of the popular old song, “Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end.” A recent AZ Republic article had a different take on the sentiment. “Those were the days” in the song meant something along the lines of wonderful times spent with family…

Golden Goalies: Stay Safe—Stay Healthy

Bea Loozer “I stepped on my scale this morning. It said, ‘Please practice social distancing. Only one person at a time on scale.’” Ouch!

Golden Goalies – Ready for 2020

Thanks to retiring leaders Jeanne Schwan and Sharon Flores

Bea Loozer Goalies celebrated another season of weight-loss and good health. Mazel tov. At the Fall Luncheon, Sharon Flores won the “biggest loser” award, meaning she lost the most weight in the last six months. It was a big day for Sharon, yet again. The whole Goalies group expressed their appreciation to Sharon—and to Jeanne Schwan…

Golden Goalies: By the numbers

Bea Loozer Sometimes I feel like we’re surrounded by numbers—numbers that might be important for identity, like your SSN, or for something else, like income or birthday. What numbers are important to you? I bet it’s not your IQ or your high school grade point average. Maybe it’s your latest golf score. Or maybe your…
