I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
What colors did you choose for painting your rooms?
I love looking at paint colors. I can never decide by the little paint cards.
I usually buy a sample can and paint it on a poster board and hang it up on the wall for a couple of days before I decide whether I like it or not.
Yay! Your renovations will be finished soon.
Exercising regularly helps us to feel our best. So many of us start to lose muscle mass as we age. We need to do something to build muscle.
Yep, I am still going to exercise classes and i enjoy it alot. It is a mix of balance and strength. Yoga moves, light weights, bands and stretching. She mixes it up every day.
Oh okay, I was visualizing that a stylist cut your hair into an ‘old fashioned’ style that made you look 20 years older! LOL 😆
This wasn’t a pretty purple, it was a strange color! My girls have done the pink, purple and blue hair thing! I think the blue is really pretty.
The most embarrassing thing I experienced a while back with my hair was, I selected the wrong hair color.
I ended up having to attend my daughter’s play with PURPLE hair instead of auburn! LOL 😆
I decided after that to let my natural hair color grow out. It’s just about all silver now and I love it!!
Geeeeeez! Did you try a new stylist? Or was your regular one having an off day?
The inconveniences will be all worth it when your renovation is over.
Are you still exercising at the senior center? What kind of exercises do y’all do?
I'm glad you have the lower level to hide in. I had the main and second floors done and not so much in the basement except the bathroom so I lived there for several months but at one point had to run up two flights to the upstairs bathroom. Never again!!!

Because of my crooked spine, I wasn’t allowed to carry a school bag in my teens, and to take books home for homework I had to pull a shopping trolley behind me, two handed. The Versa Cart is just a better version of that. Very familiar!
But it was a pain to walk the trolley all the way back & so lazier housemates kept bringing trolleys home but not retuned them! I remember 3 of us wheeling 3 trolleys back to the supermarket along a busy road - oh the shame!
After that we just took a trolley to the bus stop loaded up with backpacks, caught the bus & left the trolley there. A lesser crime.
Awwwww, the kiddie shopping carts sound precious!
It cracks me up when I see a tiny dog in the shopping cart! Many people take their dogs everywhere with them!
We also have the cutest little carts for kids to push around at one grocery store . They have a flag that sticks up at eye level ( so you see them coming and don’t run them over ) that says shopper in training .
Not much, either a quarter or fifty cents. You drop the coins in to release the cart.
It is supposed to be a deterrent, you’re right.
How much money to use the cart ? If you don’t bring it back , and you don’t get the money back , it’s still cheaper than buying a cart . Charging rent money to use the cart isn’t really a deterrent from stealing it .
We just got rid of our old luggage without wheels. I have seen people convert them into custom dog and cat beds.
Key in ‘shopping carts’ and look at what pops up on Amazon. Very interesting products!
I see people using the foldable carts all over town.
I have seen the carts that you pay money to get them out and you get the money back when you return them to the parking lot.
I haven’t seen the ones that have brakes, interesting 🤔…
I am not a grandmother so I don’t know the prices of baby items nowadays.
I really feel for young people who are building their lives in these days. Everything is incredibly expensive.
School tuition is so much more than it used to be. Most leave college owing money.
Cars are expensive, rent is high.
They can’t afford to buy homes with today’s housing costs.
If you had bought an expensive shopping cart I hope you had a shed or garage to lock it up , or my guess it would be stolen if left outside.
Yeah , a baby stroller design may be better than some walkers as well .
Seriously though those little folding shopping carts they market to seniors are terrible - short handles, flimsy baskets and cheap plastic wheels only fit for apartment hallways. I've noticed there are finally a few being made similar to baby strollers, it's about time there was some innovation there.
I know absolutely nothing about hockey! I live in New Orleans. I can’t even roller skate! LOL 😆
Swimming is excellent exercise. Walking is too.
Do you watch the Olympic Games? I love watching it. It’s amazing to see the best athletes competing.
Wow! Expensive.
They have the cutest shopping carts now for kids. When my kids were younger they didn’t have the shopping carts with steering wheels. My girls would have loved those!
I would have loved having a shopping cart with a steering wheel to keep them busy.
My oldest daughter was fine in the grocery or anywhere else but my youngest daughter was challenging! She is the child who caused me to have gray hair! LOL 😆
Years ago I heard that the all metal shopping carts were $400-$500 each . But I don’t know what they cost now .
