A Monday Memory....

source: Pinterest
I saw this on Pinterest this morning 
and it brought back memories of my mother. 
She would often finish a discussion with 
"You can do what you want, but I think you're very foolish."
Of course I knew instinctively and from experience that meant
DON'T DO IT!!
(Looking back, she was usually right.)

Wednesday's Wisdom....

This was posted on Facebook the other day. I think it is an important, helpful diagram worth repeating.

Wednesday's Wisdom....

I found these two posters from WWII online.
Might be something to keep in mind 
as we try to cope with a situation 
unfamiliar to many of us -
the shortage of many food items 
in the supermarket.
(I sincerely hope rationing won't be required, but that will depend on the behavior of our fellow citizens going forward.)

Tip for a Tuesday....

I'm taking advantage of the time we are staying home and slowly, but surely, 
Spring Cleaning and de-cluttering!

Here are some tips to follow: 
Thinking in terms of "whole house" or even "whole room" can make it seem overwhelming!
So take it one drawer, one pile of paper at a time.
I also find that taking photos of items before I donate or trash makes it far easier to part with them!

Tip for a Tuesday....

Don't panic!!!!


Let's all try to stay calm
 in the midst of the media and politicians
trying to scare us all about the coronavirus.

Instead...

Wash your hands.
Wash your hands.
Wash your hands.

Avoid large gatherings.
Turn off the news.
Stop looking at your phones' twitter feed and

Keep Calm and Carry On

A Monday Memory....

Source: Pinterest

I can remember coming out to the living room on a Saturday morning and finding my brother watching "Modern Farmer"  at 5:30 or 6 am. 
Then the cartoons would follow, available only 
in black and white. 
Shows were limited to only 13 channels in those days.

Life was simpler then, as a child, with few responsibilities other than cleaning my room and doing my homework.
There were also fewer decisioms to make.
Sigh...

Actually, when I think about it, 
it's a bit like the "retirement" lifestyle we are now living.
Except our tv is in color on a 55 inch screen with literally hundreds of channels to choose from.  

(And no homework!)
