As I get closer to 70 in a few more years I have been thinking of all my wonderful Farmgirl Sisters and friends in there 70’s and 80’s. The Wisdom they have, the stories and memories they have to share, I want to hear their stories and listen to any memories and wisdom they want to share with all of us. How special will it be to get to know these wonderful women so much better. In our Wildflower HH we have a very special older lady who has been sharing her stories with me and others for years. I told her she needs to write her memories and stories down in a journal now to share with family and friends later. She told me she did not think anyone would be interested. I told her gently that I thought she was wrong as I want to hear about her life and I know others will too. It is important, it is history, it is love, it is caring all rolled in to one.
So, please all of us 60 and over share your stories with us, I for one want to hear them. I will never be too old to learn something new and offer any wisdom you have.
Then here it will be in MaryJanes History for others to read for years to come.
Thank you Beautiful Ladies.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Husbands can be like that. Mine will eat "new food" at restaurants but not at home. I love to use leftover veggies as salad.

Necessity was the mother of invention for dinner last night. A few days earlier I'd made a batch of smoked brisket chili, but it only needed half a can of corn, kidney beans and black beans. So I grated some onion in it, doused it with Italian dressing and let it marinate. My husband is somewhat of a toddler when it comes to new foods. I told him it was cowboy caviar, sort of like 3 bean salad. He liked it, and ate it all.

I've been hawking up a lot of phlegm, that's the problem.
I'm not leading the songs at church tomorrow.

Debbie, growing up with an Italian family was not easy. My parents had traditions that if we didn't follow them, we were out. Funny, now that they are both gone, I found myself sharing these traditions with my family. Something I always said I would never do. But, now that I'm in my 70's I do share these traditions with my family. Not all of their traditions. Realizing they weren't that bad. But, I'm a little more lenient then they were.

You might want to visit your doctor Vanessa. The only hint I had for cancer was losing my normal voice.

Yesterday my voice started getting raspy, although me nose is clear. I took Nyquil last night, but i still sound like Billie Holliday. What a revolting development for a newspaper reporter!

I was gifted this pumpkin by my chiropractor. I never tried this blue/green/gray variety. Perhaps it's a Jarrahdale. Roasted with a drizzle of duck fat, salt, pepper and thyme. Last 10 minutes I added honey and back into oven. Delicious! A lot leftover so pumpkin soup on menu for next week.

Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Seven old ladies were locked in the lava try
They were there from Sunday to Saturday,
Nobody knew they were there.

My oopsie of the day: I accidentally went in the men's restroom at Bob Evans restaurant. I only realized when I noticed the urinals. I believe there was a gentleman in another stall. He may have been startled when I started humming "seven old ladies locked in the lavatory. "

Yes Winnie. I have to make myself get up and move because at this season of life it is easy to do things that require sitting.

My now retired GP doctor used to always tell me to just keep moving every day and don't spend a lot of time sitting or napping. Moving helps our bodies keep stronger and healthier.
