NO DULL KNIVES FOR ME!

-





I love to cook and bake. However, 

I do this less often now.  My sons 

have moved on and I am a widow. 

I have no one to cook for but myself

most of the time. 


My friends and I used to take turns treating each other to brunch once a month. We decided to stop doing this after COVI-19 hit our state. I am no longer meeting my friends to eat

out at restaurants.  We are getting 

take out or home delivery when we

don't want to cook. 


I am staying home more and  only run errands twice a week. I have more time to cook and bake my meals.  I have saved a lot of money by cooking at home.  So there is at least one positive result from the Virus. The second one

is that I have remained Virus free

by staying at home more.  


My family decided to not travel to my Mom's house for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners this year.  

I will be cooking Holiday dinners for

my two sons though.  I plan to cook plenty so they can take leftovers home.  


I noticed recently that my steak knife was dull when I was cutting  my steak. 

I checked the rest of my knives and 

they were dull too. Lucky for me, that my son has knife sharpening equipment. His hobby is making custom made knives.  I gave him all of my kitchen knives and asked him to sharpen them for me. I have a weak grip in my hands. Chefs on cooking

shows say that using a dull knife 

was dangerous. The knife could slip since I cannot grip the knife 

handle tight.  


He has finished sharpening my

knives. I am so happy!  I need to 

have sharp knives to do my Holiday cooking and baking. 

He sharpens knives for my friends 

and local butchers in the Research Triangle area. 

He has a nice ad on Facebook

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:
