SENIOR LADY LOVES THE MOVIES!

-

 



https://heritageherald.com/




I grew up in a small town and

we had a one-man taxi service.

Shopping malls were non-existent.

My family didn't even own a car.  

I fought boredom by listening to 

the radio and watching movies. 

My dad agreed to put a small

black and white TV in the "girls

room" provided we  promised to

cut it off at bedtime.  Of course,

we would sneak and watch TV

when we were supposed to 

be sleeping!!


My favorite  actresses were Susan Hayward, Lee Remick, Kim Novak, 

Lana Turner, and  Lee Grant. 

Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Elizabeth Taylor were good actresses too. I'm showing my age because I watched these ladies in black and 

white movies. 


I didn't have time for a lot of movie watching when I was a wife and mother

with two sons.  I would go to the

movie theatres sometime. However,

it was only to take my sons to kiddie movies.


I started watching movies again after

the "Stay At Home " mandate was 

issued due to the COVID-19 virus. 

I never cared for Sit-Coms, Horror,  

or Comedy shows anyway. Now 

I watch Romance and Christmas movies and  British Detective shows. I choose movies and TV shows that are usually rated G, PG, and PG-13. 


TV shows and movies have come 

a long way due to the advancement

in the film industry due to technology.  Cable and Satellite TV increased our viewing options by offering more channels. Now people have  Streaming 

TV to add to their TV watching obsession. 


I had to become a smart TV watcher

after I retired. I am on a fixed income

so large Cable and Satellite bills are

not an option.  The Broadcast 

TV transition to digital TV has really 

helped me out.   I eventually bought

an inexpensive outdoor antenna.

I can watch all of the local TV stations.

I have downloaded free TV and

movie apps on my cell phone and notebook. I can also watch old TV 

shows and movies on YouTube.


I will be sharing a list of my 

favorite movies soon. These

are movies that I like enough

to watch more than once. 

They kept me entertained and 

featured  a great story.  I am

including British TV detective

shows that I frequently watch. 


Maybe some of you  Seniors 

ladies may  decide that watch 

them and join in the fun!

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.

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:
