I'll admit my zeal for Christmas decorating had waned. My sons had moved out and I have no grandchildren. I was shopping on Black Friday a few years ago. I saw a 6 ft lighted Christmas tree marked down to $7.00. I thought this must be a mistake! This was an offer I couldn't refuse. I rushed to the register with last marked down tree. I got home with my tree and realized that I had no ornaments to go on this tree. I had donated all of them to a Thrift Store. My recent Christmas decorations were a wreath on my doors. I have a tip for Empty Nesters and Seniors living alone. Decorate a tree for your own pleasure. I could afford to splurge on Christmas since I'm retired and my children were grown and gone!! I could spend money collecting expensive ornaments and other C...

Amazon.com I have learned to enjoy new types of music as I have gotten older. In my younger days, I enjoyed R&B and contemporary jazz music. In later years, I listened to mostly Gospel music. I used to be a faithful Oprah Show watcher. She featured Andrea Bocelli on one of her Christmas shows. He only sang for a few minutes but I was blown away by his amazing voice. I had never listened to opera or understood the Italian language. I immediately went to the music store and bought Sacred Arias. I played this CD several times a day. I have bought other CD's by him since that time. Sacred Arias is still my favorite and it still gives me goosebumps. I saw Andrea Bocelli's interview with Gayle King last week. Andrea and his son Matteo sang their new song, Fall on Me. This was definitely a "Wow" moment! I'll be online this week looking to see if their is CD avail...

https://www.teleflora.com The fall season is here. I know I'll have to do something soon with this huge planter full of snake plants. Snake plants are tropical plants and can't tolerate winter frost. I did keep some snake plants in my greenhouse one year. They were doing ok until the nighttime temp dropped to 20 degrees! They looked like green wet noodles! I had some snake plant cuttings in shallow containers under my white bench. Well, I was so wrong! The containers were hit by strong wind gusts. I found them flipped upside down, in the middle of my porch. This mess stained my beige print outdoor rug. I scooped up the mess and placed it in a grocery bag. I placed it behind my outdoor furniture. I planned to throw the whole mess out later. This week I was sweeping my porch. I fo...

https://wall.alphacoders.com I retired from banking industry 6 years ago. I have enjoy having time to rummage in thrift stores. I also have time to visit dollar and discount stores during the week when most people are at work. Some of the discount stores have closeout products and clothes they obtained from expensive department stores. The brand name tags have been cut or they have a black mark on them. Those fantastic bargains are out there waiting for me. I hope the information I shared below is helpful for bargain hunters. I have been using a fantastic antiseptic oil for the skin for the last 5 years. This oil is called melaleuca or tea tree oil. I use it when I get insect bites and acne. I have also seen it added to shampoo ...
