My month of October has been filled with my own Fall Decorating and Recipes. I have everything from grocery store flowers, thrifty ideas to my own thoughts about life after fifty and over.
Fifty and Over Experiences
It is interesting to be writing about my Fifty and Over Experiences. Especially, since I am almost 60. Well, I turned 59 three months ago. Does that count as almost 60?
Last year, around this time, I wrote a similar post. It is fascinating to go back and read my thoughts. Even though it was just a year ago. My perspective has changed, matured and I have much clearer view of what I want my life to be.
Staying Healthy Over Fifty
I am 50+ with an active lifestyle, including walking, swimming and working out in our pool. I keep healthy and strong by eating well. I also shy away from processed foods, which is also a great help. Staying Healthy Over Fifty has been a quick and necessary life style change for us.
Two years ago, my husband had an emergency quadruple by-pass. This was both scary and eye opening for both of us. You see, he has been active for years, not only as a championship high school referee, but also as a bicyclist.
Christmas Decorating Tour

Welcome to my Christmas Decorating Tour. I have always had a love of Vintage Christmas decorating. It might be because I grew up at a time with the Christmas decorations were all from the 40s and 50s. It was about 20-40 years old then. But it is what I grew up with so it is written upon my Christmas soul.
At Grandma and Grandpa’s house on Christmas Eve, our imaginations would go wild. As we sat by the Christmas tree with twinkling lights and the train going around and around the tree. The train whistle would blow and some how smoke would blow out of the stack.
It was magical and wondrous. Grandpa would play Christmas carols on the piano, the turkey was cooking in the oven and the rolls were rising on the counter.
The vintage pieces that I am drawn to are chippy, worn and colorful. Everything from colorful to faded and torn with some glitter thrown it there too.

Have you ever made a Winter Toolkit? I thought with all my family activities, I better be ready for whatever illness, headache or body aches might come my way.

I just love flowers
When You are Fifty and Over
It is funny how time rolls on. Some days seem really fast and other times months seem like years. The past few years have gone by really fast for me. And before I realized it I am heading towards 60 really quick. Wow….When You are Fifty and Over…
For me, I look at it like 50 is the new 30. And 60 is the new 40. Even though I am older than 50, I am capable of doing pretty much everything I did when I was that age. Probably even better, now.
I mean, really, would YOU want to go back to your teens and 20s? Not me. AT ALL. I am so much smarter, wiser, experienced and self-confident. Don’t get me wrong. I still make mistakes. I still have problems arise, and I still have a lot to learn.
Tea with Dessert-A Family Tradition
Today I am excited to share a family memory with you. When I was young every Sunday my family would visit my grandparents. AND, we always enjoyed Tea with Dessert-A Family Tradition.
As I got older with a family of my own, the Sunday tradition changed. My grandparents and my mom would go out to dinner and then come to visit our family of four. We would have dessert every Sunday with them. My grandma would bake a cake or my mom would bring cookie and ice cream.
One thing was for certain. We always had tea for dessert.Continue Reading
