Headlights Dimmed

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  Getting old is not fun. It’s good to be alive but I think the headlights on my (car) body have gone out. My headlights on this old body are my eyes. Yes those nasty little growths that dim the eyes of a lot of us seniors have made their home…

SEA MONKEYS AND SOMETHING IN A BOX

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  I think I am somewhat of a different person because I am very curious about everything. Of course I know some things about different things, but I am likely to make cookies or a cake at 11 pm  just because it sounds good. Strange? Not for me.! After I was married…

THE SCHOOL LUNCH

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker The first thing I remember eating anything at school was in Kindergarten. We always had a snack of a round cracker and a carton of chocolate milk, and…it was good. The first time I had a school lunch I must have been in 3-4 grade. We had food like…

From one Foodie to another

Penny for your thoughts by: Nancy Whitaker Our world has always centered around food. Anyone who ever went hungry knows what I mean. When you feel a growling empty feeling in your tummy, you know you better get some chow. I am a big foodie and always have been. Living with my grandparents until age 15,…

A DISTRESSFUL JOURNEY

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  I have always been curious about things that took place in history. One interesting thing to me is the many ships that have sunk to the bottom of the oceans.  I always wonder what is or was on those ships, I also think of the people aboard the ships…

THE FARMERS ALMANAC

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker A couple of weeks ago I was shopping in a store who was having a “Going out of Business Sale” In fact it was the last day they would be open and the store manager announced, “Everything left is now 25 cents.” I made my way to get…

Penny for your Thoughts

by: Nancy Whitaker As I sit here looking out my window I see the sun shining brightly and know the temps are to get up in the high 80s today. “Summer is not over yet and there is still some more days that I can shine my rays and warm things up says the bright sun.” I have…

A HAIRY SITUATION

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker We want it to look good, be clean, color it, curl it, straighten it, cut it, brush it, shave it or we can just “Put a hat on it.” What is it? It is or can be one of our most attractive features. Yes it’s hair and trust me, styles…

JUST A SNACKIN’

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker What is your favorite thing to do when you are watching TV? Me? I love to snack. I can sit and watch a favorite TV show and without even thinking I will be munching away and notice the bottom of my bag is empty.  I like to snack on…

DOES YOUR CHEWING GUM LOSE ITS FLAVOR?

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker  I happened to see a  headline as I was surfing  the net and it was about the 12 worst places to go on vacation. In other words the article was about “don’t waste your money or time going to see these places.” The one that interested me was The…

THE STONE AGE

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker An American adventurer went on a journey into one of the most remote jungles on Earth to uncover and investigate a particularly terrifying tribe of cannibals living there.  Drew Binski who had traveled in almost every country arrived alone in Papus New Guinea where  the Korowai people live in isolation. They live …

A LITTLE GET-A-WAY

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Since I am older, I don’t have a desire to  travel too far. I am pretty much a home body who likes to stay kind of close to home, but here lately a little trip sounded pretty good. Just to see new scenery and explore new places. My Sweetie, Denny, has…

WHEN THE MINT IS GONE

Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Yep. I am old but my memories are vivid.  Memories of childhood, teenage years, young adult and…being a Senior Citizen. Sometimes  I wonder how times would have been if we would have had access to the internet way back then. First of all, growing up with my mom, grandma and grandpa, they were very…
