MY COVID-19 DRESS CODE!

Image
https://www.businessinsider.com NOTE;  PLEASE OVERLOOK THE FONT ISSUES  ON MY BLOG! I love wearing designer cologne, lipstick and nail polish. I know  I sound like a real DIVA. No, I'm just a Senior Lady who likes to dress nice.  I may even be somewhat fashion conscience.  I decided in March, 2020 to start wearing a mask.  I added  the gloves after the number  of COVID-19 victims kept rising in my county.   Duh! It didn't enter my mind- don't wear lipstick when wearing a mask. I had  to wipe off my lipstick the first time I wore my mask.   I was able to yank the mask off before it got stained  with lipstick.  I like to wear nice wigs until the weather gets hot in  May. Well,  I found out that some of my wigs were not "mask friendly!" The only wig that exposed  my ears, was my short pixie one.   I don't bother to dress up. Hey,  I'm wearing  a mask and gloves.  Of course I maintain my  hygiene.  There is no need to wear my f

SEED STARTING SMARTS!

https://parkseed.com Once I started container gardening, I learned tricks to save money on  garden supplies.  I never discard the  pots and tubs  my garden plants come in. Years ago, garden plants were  mostly sold in black 6-pack  starter  trays.  Then garden centers cut the trays down to 4-packs. This year, my garden plants were in single white and black tubs holding  1 or 2  plants for $3.99! The customers complained so bitterly that cashier got the manager to give us 2 tubs for  $5.  I was grateful for the price cut. I am glad I started saving the black  trays a few years ago. They were useful  when I wanted to start my seeds indoors. These trays made transplanting the  seedlings easier after the last  winter frost.  Of course, I am saving these white and black  tubs my  $3.99 garden plants came in.  I sowed the seedlings from my Meyer  lemons in them.  I have so many empty water bottles in my recycle bin.  I  started

SENIOR LADY, START A GARDEN!

MY CONTAINER GARDEN ON MY PORCH! I am doing as my Governor asked. I am following the " STAY AT HOME" order. Some of us Seniors do not have a relative or friend nearby to shop for us. Thank God some stores got a bright idea.  They have Senior early hours so we can  shop in a lower risk environment. I suggest that that you Senior Ladies,  go  shop  for garden supplies during  the early hours.  The garden stores didn't close and garden plants and supplies are outside in the garden center.  I consider this a lower risk place  to shop.  Trust me, this will be a rewarding endeavor if you grow something! You are stuck at home and you can walk in your  yard freely.  A lot of space isn't necessary when  you container garden! I placed my containers on my porch.  My 87 year-old mother has tomatoes and cucumbers in  10-gallon buckets outside of her back door.  I have  even grown pickling cucumbers in  hanging baskets. https://www.dollartree.com/

ADVICE FROM SENIOR PARENTS WANTED!

Image
https://www.hobbyfarms.com PROVERBS  22: 6 Train  up   a   child  in the way he should go,  A nd when he is old he will not depart from it. This Novel Coronavirus ( renamed COVID-19)  has been a wake-up call for a lot of young parents.  Senior  women may be a grandparent. Thye may be more valuable to their grown  children  now. Some of  my friends  said their grown children  didn't want  to hear their advice.  They said their advice was  too harsh and antiquated.  Some Senior parents may not  want to babysit every day. They may offer to relieve weary  parents for a few hours.    Their  grown children may be willing to listen to their parental advice  now.  They see that their new-aged parenting  methods haven't always worked.  They are stuck at home  with  their children for several hours.  They realize they need  "HELP " with their  unruly children!  Schools and colleges closed earlier than planned. They are spending more time

https://qns.com NOTE: PLEASE OVERLOOK THE FONT ISSUES MY SYSTEM IS HAVING! It seems like each week we get new instructions about how people in the community should fight the COVID-19. I took a lot  of their advice seriously.   I have gotten informative literature from my insurance company, watched videos on social media,  and listened to world news on the T.V. I had to eventually use some of my own ideas about fighting the "Virus"  which made sense to me! I pondered this information and added common sense to  avoid  being confused.   I have changed my routine when I go shopping and  changed the way I clean the surfaces  in my home. Here is what I do now: I only leave my house to go to the pharmacy or to pick  up emergency items like water, bread or toilet paper. The Governor issued a "Stay at Home"  order. I would  have stayed home more anyway because five people  that I know are in quarantine! Thank God, I have not  had physical conta

I DIDN'T MISS CHURCH!

Virtual Church https://www.newspressnow.com NOTE: PLEASE OVERLOOK THE FONT ISSUE ON THIS BLOG! I did pay attention to the news about the novel Coronavirus being  in foreign countries. I wasn't concerned about America yet. I definitely became concerned when  COVID-19 victims were  mentioned on the American TV news  in early March. Then a COVID-19 was discovered in my state. Well, I was  alarmed when the number of victims had tripled in America and my state by the 2nd week in March.  Our schools and colleges were closed  and local restaurants were only doing  take out. https://www.wavy.co m My Mom advised me that she was staying  home ( she is 86 years old).  She said she  could still be a Christain but use COMMON  SENSE by staying home! I agreed! I'm 68 years old  and a wise old Christian too!  I attend a megachurch. Someone in my  church would have that  "Virus".  I believe there would be a member with the "Virus"

National Preparedness Month . https://www.energy.gov Senior friends, yes, I am staying home! I'll admit that I was going out to get groceries or to buy take out dinners two or  three days a week.  Now, things have gotten out of hand! The number of people in my state with COVID-19 has tripled! Our governor has issued "STAY AT HOME" order!  https://www.wavy.com See Which States and Cities Have Told Residents  to Stay at Home https://www.nytimes.com I have no problem  obeying this order.  I was going to cut back  on the travel outside of my home anyway. I am a senior in fairly good health  but  I am not a fool! I don't have to be burned  with fire to know its HOT! I have hand sanitizer, a reuse mask, and gloves to wear when I pick up medicine or go to the grocery store. I used to cook a scratch meal on Sundays. Now, I cook every day! I cook quick meals like pasta,  chili, and casseroles. I can get three meals out
