SENIOR LADY COOLING IT!

Image
I couldn't seem to find any clothes that helped me stay cool when I went through menopause. That period of my life is over now-Thank God! I still hunt  for COOL and comfortable clothing to wear during the summer. My mother and I used to argue about which clothing was cooler in the summer. She like dresses and skirts. I liked sheer blouses and Capri's.  Now that I am a hot senior citizen, I agree with her. Dresses and skirts do seem cooler. I do not want to hear mom say, " I told you so." I browsed in several department stores in the early spring. I had trouble finding my style of summer dresses. I also searched online and didn't find a wide selection to choose from either.

I have a pan full of lettuce leaves in about 30-50 days. This lettuce can be sowed in a garden plot. I prefer the container method on my porch. I can avoid bending in the hot sun harvesting lettuce. I do buy red sail and romaine lettuce from garden center. These are also planted in dish pans.I buy a 4 pack of each type of lettuce. I plant them in dish pans also. Here are the items I need to get started: Seeds PLASTIC DISH PAN POTTING SOIL WATERING CAN I ma...

My senior lady friends and I hate  that we have to struggle to find out valuable information to help us live more efficiently. Most of us are living  on fixed incomes so, we want to save money any way we can. We love coupons, senior discounts, department store sales, and day trips. I am sharing links to places we use to save money. Some stores may not be  in your state or may be known under different name in your area.  Please  share any links you use promoting  networking and senior sisterhood! 2017 LIST OF SENIOR DISCOUNTS ( MAKE SURE STORE STILL HONORS SENIOR DISCOUNT.
