Gardening, music, life with MS
Today is Thursday March 24 and it is now 12:40 in the afternoon. It is cloudy and rainy. I won’t be going out in the garden and I’m not volunteering today so what to do, hmmm. I took apart the coffee maker and cleaned, went to clean the air fryer/toaster oven and had no Brillo […]
I’m on a roll. The weather has been cooperating with my ability to be outside and every afternoon from 3 until 6 or 7:00 that is where I am. The first day this week I started in the garden bed that has Bee Balm, Beauty Bush, Butterfly Bush, Iris,’ Milkweed and Crocosmia. The Bee Balm, […]
Fear of Missing Out – One of few few abbreviations I know. Most of the time it refers to people who can’t get off they’re phones for the obvious fear of missing something that is going on, I’ve heard it referred to teenage use but I’m sure adults are guilty too. Not me, as previously […]
P. went to Brazil on a business trip early Sunday. I’m thrilled. I like when he goes away. He’ll be gone till Saturday so I have all week to be stress free. I planned my meals, (small and healthy), invited my son and granddaughter down, (they couldn’t do this week), and lined up shows I […]
In past two days the weather has been cooperating, (high 60’s/70) for me to get back into the garden. Both days I went out late in the afternoon, (daylight savings time has helped). It’s funny that I used to limit myself. If I rode my bike, then I couldn’t work in the garden. If I […]

This has contributed to my forward leaning self. When I am standing, doing laundry, washing dishes, cooking, counting out my daily pills, making coffee, etc., my […]
Dolly Parton is my hero! Besides being one of the most loved and admired music stars there is, she is also an acclaimed writer and humanitarian. Her giving of herself is endless. Yesterday, Dolly Parton withdrew her name for consideration into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a brave, selfless woman! As you […]
On an episode of The Today Show, their guest was Sara Gottfried, M.D. She is the author of several books relating to resetting your hormones as you age. The book that I am giving an overview of is: “The Hormone Reset Diet.” This appealed to me because of the claim that it will heal your […]
In the February/March AARP Magazine, one of the cover stories; “A Flat Belly in 6 Steps, AARP’s First Diet Plan for People over 50.” What a headline! Upon reading the article which is a book excerpt from “The Whole Body Reset,” by Stephen Perrine. The diet is a 10 day reset plan. Basically it is […]
This month, March, I weighed in on the 6th, at 138.4 lbs. I’m entering late because we went away again. Honestly, I don’t believe it. Since the start of monthly weigh ins I’ve lost 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. I don’t feel it at all. I am not dieting but I have returned to riding […]
