About Jenny Mummert
This blog was originally titled "Drifting Toward Planet Elderly," and it shared a journey I had with my elderly parents as they both went through their later years battling the complexities of dementia. After both passed on, I changed the title to "Living on Planet Elderly." I am a retiree who is reluctantly adjusting to the reality that she is now elderly. In July of 2021, I relocated to Middleton WI after living in Columbia MO for over 40 years. I decided that I want to experience a new and vibrant location in a cooler climate with lakes...a bucket list item of mine. I have a first cousin who lives in Madison. We have nice childhood memories, and I thought it would be wonderful to spend some time together as elders. It was. AND THEN....in March 2023, I returned to Columbia. I had a wonderful time experiencing the Madison area of Wisconsin, spending time with my cousin, and making some wonderful friends. No regrets.
Living on Planet Elderly
Photography Hobby: Albuquerque Zoo October 2024
January 27, 2025 Early Afternoon
Like millions of others in the U.S., I am adjusting to the political chaos in my country. What a shit show. I’m keeping an eye on news events and commentary because I believe it’s important to be informed from a variety of sources.
During these initial weeks and months, the half of the U.S. population that did not vote for Trump is watching and waiting. These are historic times for America. Ugly times. Lying times. America has been here before. Time will tell if and how we get through this mess.
As for now, I’m going to look at some photos I took when I visited the Albuquerque Zoo last October. Happy to share. Hope a few make you smile. (As always, all photos are subject to copyright and cannot be used without my permission.)
