SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

  https://playingcarddecks.com/ I used to do word search puzzles at  my part-time job in college. I got  bored with that so,  I started doing crossword puzzles. I never did  progress to doing New York Times crossword puzzles. I started playing games on AARP's  "Staying Sharp" after I joined several years ago.   Retirement and "Staying at Home" during the Pandemic have afforded  me with plenty of time for playing games.  I read an article that said,  Seniors should play  games daily to ward off Dementia and Alzheimers. Therefore, I try to play some type of game or  do a puzzle daily.  I have downloaded several game apps on  my tablet and cell phone.  I do limit the hours I play games to avoid becoming addicted or anti-social. I recently decided to do a group for Seniors on Facebook.  It is called:  SENIOR PEEPS LOVE GAMES! https://www.facebook.com/groups/657322128263537 Peeps are like-minded friends...

  https://heritageherald.com/ I grew up in a small town and we had a one-man taxi service. Shopping malls were non-existent. My family didn't even own a car.   I fought boredom by listening to  the radio and watching movies.  My dad agreed to put a small black and white TV in the "girls room" provided we  promised to cut it off at bedtime.  Of course, we would sneak and watch TV when we were supposed to  be sleeping!! My favorite  actresses were Susan Hayward, Lee Remick, Kim Novak,  Lana Turner, and  Lee Grant.  Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Elizabeth Taylor were good actresses too. I'm showing my age because I watched these ladies in black and  white movies.  I didn't have time for a lot of movie watching when I was a wife and mother with two sons.  I would go to the movie theatres sometime. However, it was only to take my sons to kiddie movies. I started watching movies again after the "Stay At Home " mandat...

  https://www.nytimes.com/ I am going to be honest and say it,  This COVID-19 PANDEMIC  HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!  I was adjusting to the  "STAY AT HOME" advice  from the CDC. I do venture out once  a week to run errands and get groceries. I realized that was spending days on end wearing my drab & faded everyday clothes. I reserved my worn faded out jeans and tops to wear when I am staying at home. My business casual clothes and dressy clothes were to be worn when I eat  out at nice restaurants  or go to church. I had stopped wearing  earrings. My pierced ears were  about   to CLOSE UP!  My lips  were dry because  I wasn't wearing  my lipstick with moisturizers  in it. I took a good  look at myself  i n the mirror  and  I was shocked  at my appearance. This I don't  care attitude had crept into my life, unexpectedly. I realized I had to do something to boost  my mo...

  Whimsical cartons https://www.westrock.com/ Families are spending more time together  than they ever  have.  Multiple closing of stores  and restaurants due to  Pandemic contributed  to this situation.  Some  of the restrictions on  stores and restaurants have been lifted now. However, budgets are tight and most children  are still at home all day.  I am sharing the kid-friendly meals that my  boys loved when they were young. These  meals can be enjoyed  by anyone on a budget  and want a  quick meal. A family of four  people  can eat these enjoyable meals.

https://tenor.com/ I am a wido wed Senior Lady with grown children.  However, I do have compassion for parents  at home all  day with children. This Pandemic has been  a true wake up call for many parents.  My husband and I  worked a full-time job when  my children  were young.  We had to adjust to   being  at home  with them all day on the weekends and during  family vacations. We had to count to five many  times  to avoid losing our temper.   I can not  imagine being at home with children  24 hours  a day, 7 days  a week for 4 months!  I hope the  parenting methods my husband and I used will help  some  parents during th is Pandemic! Rules were set for my sons when  they were home for school vacation. They had to make up their beds, and empty the trash before they could play outside. Our sons had to take turns washing lunchtime dishes. My sons were lik...
