Check out Ronni Bennett's new blog, "Elder Story Telling Place," which she just started a little over a week ago. Ronni is one talented blogger and full of interesting new ideas.
Mick Brady, Cowtown Pattie, Tamar, Norm Jensen, Colleen Shannon and I have posted short stories recently.

PS: I posted this last year on Ronni's birthday and it reminds me of Elder Story Telling and also what an inspiration Ronni Bennett is for us all.

"Serendipity ...( The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident. )
One fine day I packed a picnic lunch and set out on a ramble to search for blogs and articles on "Aging." I wandered over to Google and quickly came across "Time Goes By," the blog on positive aging by Ronni Bennett. As I lingered there I came across a group of people, friends, comrades in arms gathered around a wise elder blogger. I pulled up a tree stump and sat down around the camp fire and felt the warmth of good fellowship as I read the diary entries and comments.
I lingered in the forest, absorbing the camaraderie, advice, issues, concerns, and just plain old fashioned horse sense. Soon I could no longer allow myself to simply lurk behind a tree on the periphery and read; I jumped in and commented occasionally.
From the central point in the woods of "Time Goes By" I followed the path that Ronni had pointed out in her links. This path has taken me to Japan, Scotland, France, England, the North, South, East and West of the US. I became acquainted with bloggers from all over the world. Still, I always come back to the incandescence of Ronni's "Time Goes By."
Thank you Ronni for sharing your many talents with us all and leading us into the realm of positive aging."

I have been there everyday since it was started! I have really enjoyed all the stories there so far.
I am going to have to check it out. I have always enjoyed Roni's site.
I too have dropped by to visit with Ronni. I always meet the most interesting people there. :-)
zkI found many interesting blogs through Ronnie's site, too. It just opens a whole new world for the elderblogger.
I feel just like you to about Ronni and her blog.
I read her and one thing leads to another and another and another.
Aren't we the lucky ones!!
Since I'm aging anyway, I'm so glad I've discovered how to do it positively! The stories are fun.
I've been checking out the stories at Elder Storytelling Chancy. I really enjoyed your piece...so much.
Thanks to Ronni for giving us another place in the neighborhood to gather at...
This is all so true. There is hardly a day when I don't visit Ronni's blog. I can't remember how I discovered it, but I tookto it straight away. And I have 'met' so many people thanks to that blog! Including your, Chancy :)
