Quick tip #2

Quick tip #3

Looking for something to do and not sure what to do for entertainment. Okay, well first this was not a problem 20 years ago, now was it? How about some soft music and a little dancing right there in your home? Wow, remember those days when you could dance all night or how about a board game. And there is always reading aloud. OR if you really can’t think of anything and none of this is tempting there is always T.V.

Quick tip #4

Next time you are in the grocery buy a bag of raw peanuts. Place them on a baking sheet with a lip (to prevent spillage), set the oven at 190 degrees and roast them. It will take two to three hours, not only is this nutritious but the house smells so good. Be careful not to get burned when they first come out.

Quick tip #5

Remember when, where and how you met? See if you can remember all the firsts in your life. Use a paper and pen, (no one will see this but you, unless you chose otherwise). First kiss, first home, first car and so on; this can be a lot of fun.
