I was concerned about this new COVID variant called Omicron. I already had a disturbing phone call last week. 
One of my friend's relatives and their family were in quarantine due to Omicron.   My sons and I rung in the 
together since we've been vaccinated. We didn't want to plan a gathering and expose ourselves to
the risk of expose to COVID viruses.  I prepared Teriyaki chicken drumsticks and mini pizzas
for our appetizers.  We knew it was time to do our traditional toasts! Fireworks from downtown were blasting.
nearby.  I did my social media "Happy New Year's" greetings too!

I got up New Years morning and prepared baked ham, collards, black eye-peas, and corn muffins.
The dessert was chocolate swirl cheesecake. Whew! I had to go sit down after all that cooking!

I saw left over ham in the fridge this morning. I couldn't eat another slice unless I did
a make-over on  this ham.  I had not eaten ham salad in years. This suggestion of make some
ham salad  was pleasing to my family. I served my ham salad on buttery crossiants.  The sandwich was 
was very good on the crossiant but very rich! I will eat my ham salad with  saltine crackers next time.
This is how I made the ham salad:





Directions:


Chop 3 large slices of  ham in food processor. I also chopped quarter half of medium onion and one celery stalk
in  processor. In large bowl, add ham and veggies. Stir in 1\4 cup mayo,  2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard,
5 strips chopped sweet red peppers, 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, salt and pepper to taste
 ( option: for zing,  1 tablespoon white sugar, and 1 tablespoon vinegar).







Note: Make it your own! Adjust the listed ingredients to your taste! Dill pickle relish,
Celery seed, and cooked diced eggs are options.

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

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:
