As I get closer to 70 in a few more years I have been thinking of all my wonderful Farmgirl Sisters and friends in there 70’s and 80’s. The Wisdom they have, the stories and memories they have to share, I want to hear their stories and listen to any memories and wisdom they want to share with all of us. How special will it be to get to know these wonderful women so much better. In our Wildflower HH we have a very special older lady who has been sharing her stories with me and others for years. I told her she needs to write her memories and stories down in a journal now to share with family and friends later. She told me she did not think anyone would be interested. I told her gently that I thought she was wrong as I want to hear about her life and I know others will too. It is important, it is history, it is love, it is caring all rolled in to one.
So, please all of us 60 and over share your stories with us, I for one want to hear them. I will never be too old to learn something new and offer any wisdom you have.
Then here it will be in MaryJanes History for others to read for years to come.
Thank you Beautiful Ladies.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

I was gifted this pumpkin by my chiropractor. I never tried this blue/green/gray variety. Perhaps it's a Jarrahdale. Roasted with a drizzle of duck fat, salt, pepper and thyme. Last 10 minutes I added honey and back into oven. Delicious! A lot leftover so pumpkin soup on menu for next week.

My oopsie of the day: I accidentally went in the men's restroom at Bob Evans restaurant. I only realized when I noticed the urinals. I believe there was a gentleman in another stall. He may have been startled when I started humming "seven old ladies locked in the lavatory. "

Yes Winnie. I have to make myself get up and move because at this season of life it is easy to do things that require sitting.

My now retired GP doctor used to always tell me to just keep moving every day and don't spend a lot of time sitting or napping. Moving helps our bodies keep stronger and healthier.

What a wonderful way to look at life, your life Judith. My husband and I are the same age, 70, and we realize that we are both suffering from short term memory. I get so frustrated let me tell you. But like you Judith, hubby and I lean on each other and share how we are really feeling honestly.

One thing I have noticed is things take much longer to heal and sometimes they never heal all the way. Tylenol is usually what the doctors tell us to take now and I haven't noticed that it does much if anything. My husband is 7 years younger than me and starting to develop dementia. We just have to stick together, be there for each other and hope and pray for the best..

Sure has been a struggle to heal from a muscle sprain/nerve injury that occurred almost 2 years ago. I did the PT stuff last year. I take tylenol and get on with I need to get done. I am stretching, some pilates and using ice, but my body isn't healing right.
My husband 5 years younger than me and he is in worse shape.

Maybe the chiro can recommend some exercises that would help. I had shoulder issues a long while back. I went to therapy a few times and have some great exercises I can do. Really loosen up the shoulder and arm. I have been getting wood cut and in and boy that is a bit harder to do anymore. I go slow and steady. Tough to get moving in the morning though, lol.

Sending healing hugs Tara. Try letting a hot shower pound on it and see if that helps.

My right shoulder hurting. The spasms going across and under my right breast. I wont get to chiropractor til the 21rst. Tylenol , rest and cussing til then. The human body poorly designed as it falls apart by 50. I saw chiropractor and was feeling better I was outside lifting bags of soil and dragging the hose into garden. I flared up my upper spine. Too blustery to even sit outside, so by the window to soak up the day will happen. And maybe a nap

Beach trip postponed AGAIN. : ( Another low pressure and heavy rain for SC coast. I needed to do something with a pile of clothes I ignored too long. The pile was in a chair by bathroom door. It is true , flat surfaces attract stuff. I'm glad I finally cleaned up the pile. I found the car key that had gone missing. I clear my pockets before washing.
A very welcomed day of sunshine. And fleece jackets went outside to dry.
