NEW HOBBY ON THE HORIZON!

-









Okay, I'll admit that I never liked to drive long distances. Since retirement, I find that I don't drive anywhere unless it's close to my home. I decline dinner dates 
if I have to drive more than ten miles in unfamiliar territory. Call me Lazy Senior Lady with no sense of direction. I can get
lost easily. Yes, I know GPS exists. I tried to use the GPS on my cell phone once. 
I had system failure probably because 
I forgot to fully charge  my phone. I keep saying I'm going to start using my GPS more. I need a lot of help going from
point A to point B!

 I have become more of a homebody lately.
Therefore, I'm always looking for new
projects. Suddenly, I fascinated with air plants. I killed the first batch that I bought. I was advised to just mist them two or
three times per week.  I misted away but some of them still died.  I hated to throw the dead plants away,  so I painted them with green nail polish. I placed 
them in mini clay pots. Apparently, no 
one noticed my touch-up! I did order
a second batch online. They were a bargain! I got a box of ten air plants
in various shapes and sizes. The instructions advised to soak them in
water at least once a week. They
should be completely air-dried before repotting them. This method has really worked and they are healthy. I still mist them often too.

 I felt creative and displayed them in cute
items from my local dollar store. I found
some cute mini acrylic glasses and tin
buckets in the wedding section. I have
added images of my displays below:

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends. MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING: * Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect * Choose one item that interest you.  Some people do theme collecting like vintage toy

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
