A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
I order evergreen scented candles from the same company every Christmas and save the little tins for GD so she can store odds and ends in them.
Speaking of log cabins and favorite things, I decided to order a set of Lincoln Logs this year so my GD can construct villages on my console table as Christmas decorations. Egads, the price!
So I ordered a big off-brand set called ‘Wooden Logs’ - much cheaper. I got them yesterday. They are plastic. Rookie Amazon mistake! I’m sending them back and have already ordered a much smaller Lincoln Log set at a much higher price. I figure I can add sets to it over the years. In about 10 years (and several hundred dollars) I should have the village I envisioned, and maybe a great grandchild to build it!
i’m not revealing his name.

Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Way up high...
Great song as sung by Judy Garland and also I love the version by IZ -Israel Kamakawiwoʻole

Is where you'll find me.
It is really really true that no good deed goes unpunished.
I never learned to wait to be asked to help. I just see a need, and fil it.
On most difficult words to say. Another contender.
“I don’t know.”
My DH calls it “What’sThisHereSauce” .
Bundle,
Enjoy your crush.
stay tuned. 🤓
Those were Judy Garland's lyrics!
One of my other favorites is Eva Cassidy singing
Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
"I was wrong"
"I need help"
and
Worcestershire sauce.
but - i must - update you on important matters:
the crush i have on a man.
sooooo, this is just to say, that i continue to have a crush on him. (he's single; i'm single). i still, of course, won't tell him how i feel. we continue laughing at each other's jokes (he has a great sense of humour).
so, that's it for now.
update over.
bundle of joy
anyway we talk often. and i noticed i’m starting to talk more and more like him! haha.
they say couples become more and more similar to each other with time. well, it’s happening to me and we’re not even together!
anyway…i’ll just continue hopelessly having a crush on him.
poor bundle of joy
😇😇😇😇
Banff National Park and Torres del Paine Park are beautiful.
There are llamas (or Alpaca) in the high places, antelope too.
🥰 You make my dopamine levels go all silly.

"Aw, another excellent choice!"
I agree with AlvaDeer and Golden!
Two very wise and active women.
They can run circles around me.
I didn't even go outside to see the Amazon box. The photo arrived in my email, and dH brought it inside. I saw it while laying down for a rest, after prepping the pork tenderloins to cook.
Goodnight everyone!
Here is my schedule of Rules to Honor my limitations:
(Whether one is 62 or 82) They are for me. Each person can adapt them for themselves. If you can do more, then good for you!
Never an appointment on a Monday (because it cannot be cancelled over the weekend.)
If going out (shopping, an appointment) plan it for every other day.
If after the appointment you want to shop, limit it to 2 hrs. max.
Never walk a lot shopping, and then think you can do any gardening the same day. You ARE over-doing it. There is no honor in that. That's for the next day. After gardening one day, take 2-3 days off, unless you hire a gardener for the heavy duty work.
Walk slower. Do not walk over uneven surfaces like bricks, cobblestones, or those beautiful flagstone. You will fall. At our age, it is much too silly to fall just to get out of work or get sympathy.
Drink water. If you get dizzy, or even just a bit tipsy, sit in the garden in shade, don't work in it. Come inside in temps over 78 with sun. Wear a sun hat, and sunglasses. Isn't that what our gardens are for, sitting in the shade?
Does anybody have a fantastic recipe for iced tea, or lemonade? Can you pick some mint from your garden?
Even on days you feel great, follow your limitations so you can feel even better the next day. No one ever said in their last hour, I forgot to pull that one last weed in my garden, did they?
