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

I live in the Upstate of SC, in the Foothills of the Blueridge mountain. My bear returned. Seeing a lot of wildlife activity this summer.
I'm tired of the heat.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

I think for many of us memory gets worse the older we get. Most of the time it's little things, Forgetting why we walked into a room, or forgetting a name or word. Sometimes it's important things, like leaving the stove on or not remembering where you parked the car. I've done all of them. I'm having to train myself to be super mindful, not being in a hurry and to stop and think. You can ask the doctor for a test; I took one about 10 years ago and passed by one point. My mother had Alzheimers so it is a concern. DH is showing signs of dementia so I watch out for him too.

If you are worried Vanessa, go talk to your doctor for peace of mind. The sooner you know the better. Hope all goes well with you.

Does anyone else have a memory problem? Last night I forgot the keys in the ignition when I rolled up the windows, set the seat back and gathered groceries. This morning the battery was drained so my husband drove me to work. Then when I need to go to the restroom, I lock the door and flip the "be back at" sign over, then forget to undo them.
I am getting a little concerned.

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.
