SENIOR LADY: EASY NEW YEAR'S WREATH PROJECT!

  I    usually make  wreaths for each holiday. I looked on  the shelf i n my storage room. I was very surprised to  discover that I didn't h ave a wreath for New Year's  Day! I stopped at a discount store near my house. They had three shelves full of Christmas items marked fifty percent off. I spotted gold and silver garland on the shelves. A craft idea came to my mind. I would make a gold, silver, and black wreath . I could use t he pretty  garland for my craft.  I also needed black garland or ribbon. Their Halloween decor was not available.  I checked  their party supplies section. The black  tablecloths  were i n stock. Black party garland, ribbon,  and crepe  streamers  were not available.

SENIOR LADY: OUTDOOR CHRISTMAS DECOR!

Image
I have moved to a new location recently. I have  a  new roommate; my mother. It's time to start decorating for Christmas. We have different  ideas about what color the Christmas decor should be. She likes the traditional red and white. I love a purple Christmas theme . We agreed to compromise on the color theme. I'll put her traditional red and white colors outdoors.  I can decorate the house inside  in any color that I choose. I have to cook Christmas Dinner this year. Therefore, I'll use all of my Mom's traditional Christmas  decorations indoors this time. I have placed her red and white Christmas  wreath on the front door.  I was gifted  two green mini Christmas trees last  year.  My neighbors really liked these lighted trees. They wanted to buy one for their  own  Christmas decor. Mom's red and white bows were also added to  the front porch. I own a Dachshund mixed dog named Milo.  I was thrilled when I f...

SENIOR LADY: BRING PLANTS INSIDE!

Image
  I made plenty of mistakes when I chose gardening as my new hobby. I started out buying indoor plants . I bought plants that looked pretty.  Some plants died because my rooms had insufficient light or because I just forgot to water them. I didn't have a watering  schedule and didn't read the plant care tags. I took friends' advice and set some of my house plants outside. My Snake Plants and Peace Lilies flourished.  I was told to bring them inside when weather turned cold.  I did bring the plants inside after temperature dropped below forty degrees. Unfortunately, my den became a flying bugs haven. Bugs flew up my nose and crawled on my face. My nights were spent swatting those  bugs. I complained to one of my gardening friends. She said, "I forgot to tell you,  to change the dirt before you bring them inside." I yelled, "tell me how to get rid of these bugs!!" She didn't have any advice for my problem. I did research online and learned that these ...
