The Booknester is a space/place for an empty nester that loves exploring, reading, journaling, and a good giggle which is usually due to me trying new fangled things like this blog. I am a 50+ year old woman and a GenXer (Generation X) and though I feel we are often forgotten about, I refuse to go quietly into the night. Instead I sit down, roll up my sleeves and learn the ever changing technology that helps me stay connected, feed my curiosity, and give a voice to a generation that was taught to just “put your nose to the grind stone, pull up your big girl panties, and get on with it”, typically resulting in being silenced or ignored. .
