Cooking

So, if you ever come upon a messy recipe, a cookbook with wrinkled and spotted pages, then you know that recipe was LOVED and enjoyed often. I rush to clean up my spills but today realized that it's ok, someone, someday will realize how much the raspberry bars recipe was enjoyed and loved. Cooking is one of my true stress relievers and I love to multi task making more than one thing at a time.

Over 61

Ok, so, life goes on. From 60 to 61 I felt absolutely awesome. But now....my spirit is in a funk. Life is good and I'm very thankful for more than I could ever mention. But my body, oh yes, the old bones, skin and insides are creaking in ways I want to refuse to accept. I can still kick high but I can't kneel on my right knee. I want to walk for miles and miles, but I can't without repurcussions. I think I can still bike and I'll be adding miles to my sprints to increase stamina of the rear end. Today I challenged Bob to bike to and from work once this summer (11 miles) and I said I'd do it too (10 miles). Let's see if this challenge goes by the wayside like so many other things. Received a note from Aunt Nancy this week and her words: "Do what you can now. It gets tough in the 70's." Charley took this photo of me at the playground - I can still play!
