I’m curious

I love to blog.  Do you find the recipes and events interesting to read and photos posted enjoyable?  

  I want to inspire, help and encourage you to live life to the fullest and  hope you would consider a hobby to keep you engaged in all the positive experiences in life.

It takes a lot of push and determination to get positive results. I can encourage you but only you can get yourself moving. 

If you’re unable because of physical restrictions push yourself to read a book, do some fun coloring, take a class , there are many online classes that don’t cost a penny.  Makea plan to exercise at home.  I do Silver Sneakers . Most insurances provide it. Mine does.  Make a call to check if it does.  If not there are many online exercises that are available.

If you have a disability seek assistance.  Reach out.  So many programs are available and  many we are not aware of .


If you to take pictures get an inexpensive camera or if you have a phone utilize the camera that’s on it.

Keep reaching for the stars. The skies the limit.

Below are some of my hobbies which include my interests.

In my lifetime I’ve been a clerk, receptionist, a secretary, a floral arranger, a hairdresser ,an inventory controller , an exercise teacher, a makeup stylist, a retail worker and a few jobs I probably have forgotten.

MY VIEW ON LIFE IS ANY TIME YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LIFE GIFT.  Learning something new is never a waste of time.

Live life to your fullest.  If you haven’t START immediately NOW!  

Please know I care!

NOTE: Photography , gardening, baking and cooking are a few of my passions.  As you can see below.

Pies, cakes , healthy meals, family, friends and making YOU top priority should be included.

I’ve had a tough time believing I’m 80 years old.  I feel so blessed to have reached this very exciting milestone although my thoughts haven’t been in a positive direction all the time unfortunately .  

I’m working on it and continue to do so.  Health changes along the way seem to get in the way and as I’ve said the journey to old age is just that “a journey”.

Everyday is a gift and we must realize that it also comes with bumps in the road.  How you deal with those bumps is what gives you the strength and will to go on.

 Just kidding !!! We got right into it!

Surprise first stop for her Dad.  In and out burger.

Al loves sweets so he dug into 2 delicious cupcakes. No fork necessary!!! Seriously he is not a finger food guy but after some encouragement he managed to go for it.
