Take-Out and Mishmash

I'm still not brave enough to visit a restaurant 
so youngest and I ordered fish take-out from the Knights of Columbus. 
A great way to support our local folks as well!
Its Friday night! Add a glass if wine to inspire a bit of romance with your honey.
Since Flyboy is flying, I'm going to enjoy wine with my meal "just because".
Gotta love yourself!

I selected Mich Mash from Chateau Grand Traverse.

Don't you just love the label?

#Thursday13 - Older Women Are Awesome

He was an amazing radio and television writer who was best known for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. . I miss Andy Roony and his wit. Now that I'm over 50, I think I appreciate his humor more than I did before.
 
13 Quotes from Andy Rooney On Older Women 

1. Older Women Andy Rooney says, "As I grow in age, I value older women most of all. Here are just a few reasons why." 

 2. An older woman will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. 

 3. An older woman knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 50 give a damn what you might think about her. 

 4. An older single woman usually has had her fill of "meaningful relationships" and commitment." The last thing she needs in her life is another dopey, clingy, whiny, dependent lover! 

 5. Older women are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. 

 6. Most older women cook well. They care about cleanliness and are generous with praise, often undeserved. 

 7. An older woman has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. 

 9. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Older women couldn't care less. 

 10. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to an older woman. They always know. 

11. An older woman looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens. 

 12. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, an older woman is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Her libido's stronger, her fear of pregnancy gone. 13. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off you are a jerk if you are acting like one.


BONUS QUOTE: Yes, we praise older women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coifed babe of 70 there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22 year old waitress.

A Journal Writing Prompt - In This Moment


Are you snowed in? Are you in self-isolation? Are you in lock down mode? 

Many people have taken time during covid to begin writing or at least keeping a journal.
Writing in a journal is a great way to relax and escape.

Here's a little Writing Prompt 
to help train your mind to write, 
to exercise your brain, 
to get you started putting thoughts down.


IN THIS MOMENT 

Sit comfortably with your notebook and pen. Write for 10 -15 minutes.

This exercise is one of my favorites. 

Read the following questions then close your eyes.


What sounds do you hear? Do you notice any odors? How is the temperature?
Are you in a relaxed state?


Now, open your eyes and immediately pick up your pen/pencil 
and write about the first thing that comes to mind.
