  1. Loved the fennel stew. It is definitely a keeper. I still have my potholes looms. An good basic skill for everyone to know. Thank you for your continued vegan recipes. I really look forward to something new for dinner since that is now the highlight of my day.LOL

    I am turning 67 at my next birthday on March 9th. I have been a little down about this time because I was feeling like a “has been.” Your post on “This Proves We Get Better as We Age” perked me right up. It’s wonderful how a little post can change your whole outlook!

      Hi Dianne – I hope you had a nice birthday. Happy 67!!!. I turn 63 in June and understand how you were feeling. It makes me so happy to know that the article perked you up. As older women – we still have a lot to offer and so much experience. :-)

  3. I get so much inspiration from your Style Scouting posts.
    I still have my metal potholder loom. Now where did I store it?
    The article about IKEA shopping is spot on! I’m so glad (and sad sometimes) that the closest store is 2 1/2 hours away. I always seem to find something there that I didn’t even know I needed!
    In my sixties and I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up. So many choices and I’ve just scratched the surface.
    Thanks for sharing.

  4. I want to make potholders too! There is a larger size I found.
    I’m not affiliated with them, just thought they have a lot to offer, custom colors if you like and even a club! Who knew? I guess it’s true things eventually come back in vogue. Perhaps this is a project for you and your granddaughter to have fun!
