SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

Tokkoro.com It has been too hot this summer!  The temperature has soared past ninety for the past 2 weeks. My container gardens are flourishing, Thank God! They  love the sun and heat if I keep them  watered twice a day!  I am loving my air conditioner so,  I get back home from running errands as so as possible. This hot weather made me recall an argument  me and my mom have had for years.  Which is  cooler in the summer dresses or shorts? I say it depends! The fabric, color,  and style of the  dress is important.  The dress must be made from  cotton gauze,  rayon, or cotton blend fabric. I say yes, dresses are cooler. I know the crinkle gauze dress has a wrinkled look. But the dresses are dainty and feminine so I overlook the crinkles.   A lot of my friends like linen but I don't. It's hard to keep from looking like a rumpled mess. I don't like to iron clothes.  Linen clothes...

hip2save.com I did the "Big Chop" to my hair years ago. A hot summer and experiencing menopause at the same time did me in! I  got relief by cutting my hair short, wearing cotton summer dresses, and  lounging in rooms  with plenty of air conditioning.  The trauma of menopause is over but I still hate  feeling hot.  I'm still wearing my short afro  hairstyle because it's cool and very low maintenance.   A great sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner and hair gel are all I need. Here are my go-to hair products: https://www.amazon.com I stopped using hair dye a few years ago. I have learned  to love my salt and pepper shade of grey! Who knew that grey hair would be a current trend! I guess I am a Trendy  Senior Lady!! Especially Yours . Sometimes I get bored with this  Afro  hairsyle.  That's why I fell in love with the Taper Style hair cut. I got  frustr...

MY CONTAINER GARDEN I love spring and summer because I can sit on my porch and enjoy a quiet moment or two.   I get up before my family arises and the rat race begins.  My first cup of coffee goes down so smooth and I can sip as loud as I want. There are two  doves sitting on the power lines in front of my house. They visit often and  I have named them Abraham and Sarah. I have already put out my hummingbird feeder which  I  have filled with sugar water.  I used to buy that red stuff until I read it was bad for the hummingbirds.  The author stated that the red dye  that was  added to attract these  birds was harmful to them.  I started making  my own formula: 1/2 cup spring water  1/8 cup  sugar (heaping) I like to buy the mini feeders because  I can replenish them before the sugar solution spoils.  They are also easier to clean.  The package also inclu...

REMEMBERING FEMALE SOLDIERS  WHO SACRIFICED!

https://www.joann.com Note: Please excuse the font problem! I'll admit this year I have been less motivated to get out of my house.   I'm not sick because I've been  blessed. My aggravating aches  and pains are gone.  I say a prayer  if they flare-up and keep on moving.  My mom is 86 years old and she is  still somewhat active. She can still drive to church, grocery store,  and  appointments. I admire her spunk  and I  can't  let my 86 year old mother outdo me!  My friends have called me to go on trips or help  them with their volunteer work.  I declined this  time.  I decided that spending 4-6 hours on a tour bus was no longer exciting. The volunteer jobs that my friends take part in are stressful. Most of these jobs  are not  in my community anyway.  Making holiday gift baskets for people in Rest Homes is more my speed.  I meet friends for lunch an...
