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.

  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.

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:
