Again with the style............
Been looking for new spring style ideas for a woman my age and no place better than Pinterest. I love to look at all the styles that folks have posted............some cute.............and some others, not so cute! Nonetheless, a great place to get inspired.
I now realize that my style reflects the person I am around the most at the time. For instance, if I am around my daughter, then I tend to dress as she does. Jeans and a cute tee-shirt. If I'm around one of my sisters, then I tend to wear or buy something they would like. I think it all comes down to wanting someone to like what I wear and/or make a comment about the outfit, but a good comment.
After seeing what I like and pin on my Pinterest board, I see a common thread. 1) The model is thin. 2) The model is younger than me. 3) They are wearing high heels even with jeans or wearing really, really, really cute shoes. 4) The handbag is very cute and most often a larger bag than I carry. The bags look more high end. 5) The jewelry is most often costume jewelry and on a larger scale than I wear. 6) They have a cute hair style and their makeup is impeccable.
Now some of these looks I can pull off by making certain modifications; i.e. lose weight, wearing cuter shoes, wearing costume jewelry. I cannot make myself younger and I dare not tempt gravity by wearing high heels although if I have someone to take my arm, I might give it a go. Still, after all these years, for my own personal well-being, I have to try to look good. Still I am discovering my style.
That's all the news from the arm chair. Hope you have a beautiful day. Suppose to be 79 degrees in OKC. Let's make that happen!
I love you.

Off to See My Aunt
Good morning everybody. Had my coffee and raring (is that the correct spelling? No red underline so I guess it is.) to go.
Have you ever had your day planned and suddenly realized you need to do something much more important.............that you'd (ok, I) forgotten? Well seriously, I just realized that it is my aunt's birthday and not just any birthday........HER 102nd BIRTHDAY. I doubt many of us will celebrate our own 102nd birthday so today I am going to celebrate hers. My day has completely changed course, but without a doubt in my mind, it is going to be a much better day than I had planned at 8:00 this morning. Yes, 15 minutes ago my plan was to work outside, BUT.....................
sometimes you just gotta (I got the red underline so I do know that gotta is not a word, but it fits my mood) change courses.
I love you and am off to see my aunt.

Rowenta Iron
I got something new yesterday. A Rowenta Professional 1800 Watt Iron and I LOVE IT! I've been ironing ever since.
If you know me, you know that I love to iron especially if the iron is working perfectly; i.e. steaming and not leaking. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have to tell you that this iron STEAMS. REALLY STEAMS. In fact, so much steam that my glasses fog over. An annoyance at times, but well worth the fog to have an iron that puts out STEAM. This is one of the best QVC purchases I have ever made. Although it is a little heavier than my old iron, I still give it 5 stars.
I have written about my ironing obsession several times in this blog. It is a very calming task for me. Today the house was cool so the steam from the iron was comforting and helped put a little moisture into this dry house. I was so relaxed..............ironing, remembering back in the day, music playing from Pandora (have you tried Pandora OR Spotify?). There is such satisfaction in freshly pressed garments and the smell is divine.
Here's another ironing post. Hope you enjoy it.
I love you.

An Afternoon at Sears
Hi friends,
The other day we had occasion to visit our local Sears store. Wow, what a shock! The Sears store remained open after the mall closed years ago.................but it DID hold on. Even though it is still open today, the merchandise seems to slowly dwindling away.......the TVs had been moved to another store. By the number of customers in the store today, they are slowly dwindling away, too.
Hand in hand, we were exploring the store when suddenly a lump formed in my throat. We looked at each other and just smiled. So many things are disappearing from our life. We talked about a few; Service Merchandise--gone, Montgomery Ward--gone, Dillard's in the mall--gone, the whole mall--gone, Street's--gone, Across The Street--gone, Kip's--gone, Girlie Pancake House--gone, Trade--gone, Safeway--gone, Albertson's--gone--gone--gone--so many gone that it would take an hour to type them all, and now it looks like Sears may be going, going, gone soon, too.
As we were remembering all the choices that have gone away, my hubby asks me if we have had a net gain or a net loss. The stores and the restaurants we enjoyed together when our family was young are slowing dwindling away. Trickling away so that we only have pleasant vague memories. Still we have each other, holding hands, and remembering. BUT the good news--we're still making memories.
I love you.
