WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2021

Kelly-I too am in awe of your creativity with those kids.

Tracey-I cook things my mister doesn’t like to smell and tell him if he doesn’t like it, go away. Generally, if I’m doing something he seems offended by, I tell him to go elsewhere and he does. Same for me. If I don’t like what he’s watching or listening too, I go elsewhere, unless I’m cooking. Then he stops out of courtesy. To be honest, I usually can block out what he’s doing just fine. He doesn’t have that ability.

I was a picky kid eater, but I haven’t been picky since my early 20s. Now, I love to cook and travel and my palate has changed drastically. One thing I cannot handle much of is really spicy (hot) food. It just doesn’t agree with my digestive system. AND, I like to taste the food, not the heat.

Heather and Carol-I love the flowers blooming. Our wisteria just popped out this week and I saw the orioles in the yard. Spring is coming, it was just a bit late this year.

Heather-It’s so nice your DH spent quality time with Max. What a great relationship you all have.

Rebecca-Athena!! What a doll. She looks just like her mom in those pics.

Pat C.-Cute, as Woody from Cheers would say “butter headed toeballs.”

I like seeing all the kid pics. I feel like I get to watch them grow up.

Was a good day today. Formula 1 race watching this morning (a good one for a change), two nieces called me for FaceTime, and I got to cook trying to see what I could do with items I have already in the house.

Tina in CA

Did Cathe Friedrich’s Power Hour DVD. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise.

Debbie – Vince is Mr. Pickey. The only veges he eats are corn and carrots, oh, white (no other color) potatoes, he will eat celery but hasn’t in a long, long time, lettuce and tomatoes. That’s IT. He likes everything PLAIN. If I put breading on something, he takes it off. Which I don’t mind that much, but he complains that the taste of the breading is in the fish/meat. Soup? Nope. Don’t even THINK about chili. But on the positive, he will eat leftovers so I cook and put it in the freezer. Vince doesn’t like drive-thru. Whenever we go away, he’ll stop at a truck stop to fill up if needed since that’s about the only place where you can eat inside. He really doesn’t want to sit in the car and eat. Although he does it when we go to FL with the cats. But he HATES sitting in line at a drive-thru. He will eat cheese – but only on pizza or in lasagna. No warm tomato sauce except on pizza. Pickey, pickey, pickey. He did admit to a friend of mine that the reason he’s so pickey is the way his mother cooked

Kim - I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve brought in takeout. Mostly when Jess was here

Rebecca – good fridge notes

Went to church last night. I had downloaded an app for my tablet for the gospel but it wasn’t complete. So what I think I’ll do is take my lector book with me so I can at least follow along. Also need to remember to take a small bottle of water with me since I get so dry with this mask on. I easily can go thru 80oz of water in the 4-1/2 hrs I’m at work

M – I knew you’d answer the question about posting pictures which is why I didn’t

KJ – I really want to be one of your kiddos

Did I tell you that ceramics is now open? VERY VERY VERY limited hours. It’s only open on Mon, Tues and Wed. There are two sessions of two hours each day. You are limited in being able to sign up for no more than 2 sessions. Yes, you have to make a reservation. What a pain in the lower back side. Only 5 people are allowed at any one session. Well, I guess it’s better than nothing. We used to go twice a week for 2-1/2 hrs each time. Now we only sign up for one session. There are too many others who would like to go so we feel it would be selfish to take up more than one spot. The fact of the matter is that the woman who runs it (the other lady retired – she got used to being at home) is very loose. She’s allowed more than 5 after asking if anyone was bothered by more than 5. You are supposed to wipe down the paint jars after every time you use them. No one does and she never says something. You are supposed to wipe down the table where you painted and the chair. Guess what doesn’t get done? You are supposed to wear a mask at all times. She has a code that she says if a city employee comes so you know to put up your mask.

After exercise made more chocolate bran muffins, got dinner for me ready to microwave (Vince had a pizza), then went outside to move some stones up a hill, went to Lowe’s Hardware, did laundry (just rinsed my work clothes, had dinner, now to rest some while watching TV

Kim – I must have missed it, which book did you recommend?

Katla – Please ask your hubby. I have a recipe that calls for a prime rib roast. I can’t seem to find one anywhere around here. What cut of meat can I substitute?

Are you setting a good example and doing your area.

We should all be in the habit of cleaning now.

A weight off my shoulders! Figured out program so I can do some work from home. Almost all Caught up on work paperwork -13 1/2 hours but just about there! Was rainy and windy today, so not a bad day to be working in my comfies.
Yesterday, enjoyed time in sunshine with husband. We hung new lights on deck and took the Shelby out for dinner. Relaxing.
Sleepy now and eyes hurt.
I love you all! You are AMAZING WOMEN!
