When we created Her Mentor Center in 2000, our focus was on Baby Boomers in the Sandwich Generation.

I’ve just returned from a trip to Croatia and want to savor the experience, so I’ll be sharing some of my photos and impressions with you this week. We would like you to click on ‘Comments’ at the bottom of this post and tell us your travel stories as well. Croatia is a small country, not even as large as the state of West Virginia.
