For Myself


Everything in moderation

Exercise is not a problem, I love ST!
I've worked in professional kitchens since the early 1970's. Food is a major part of my life. Being a woman in a male dominated field was a struggle back when I started as a line cook in a high volume fine dining restaurant. Being an older woman in a physically demanding industry is a struggle too.
In my early 50's my metabolism started to slow down.

Personal Information:
Three strong, kind daughters. I'm so, so proud of the way they are turning out. One granddaughter so far, going to be as fine a person as her mom and aunts.

Other Information:
 The year that I turned 50 I went on my first hike. My husband is a big hiker, and I wanted something else to share with him. Since then I've been hiking to celebrate all our 'milestones' - birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. Living in up state NY, we do a lot of Adirondack hikes, but we also hike in the Shawangunks and the White Mountains of NH.
Cruising through my 60's now, enjoying the strength training I do with my big guy and our current person trainer, Jordan. He challenges us. We've been sharing a trainer for twelve years now, our biggest indulgence in life.

    Ooooo. Sweet! I just noticed your feed - Yippee for that happy feeling.

    I have a hard time tossing old spices if I can still smell them, but honestly I am trying to do better. tossing after a year if I haven't used them. Period. I like it that packaged stuff is available in a pinch but the loose packed stuff is so much better.

    And yes - a class with a dynamic teacher is so much fun thanks for the bloglove

    Hey there. You're so right about me being fortunate in my dogs - and at 67 - I have had a lot of them. Sometimes I think I could a book's worth of dog tales. This pair is such a delight. One is so shy I call her my autistic dog ... the other is in your face all the time. they're not litter mates and are a year apart but they're truly BFFs. Thanks for leaving some bloglove on my post

    Thank you for leaving a comment on my photo. It was a magical day - to get rainbows in Winter, and now that we've built the higher pier we got to see that one from end to end. And while I was, in fact, standing in the rainbow's arc - the phrase came from the title of a book by Fanny Flagg. She is the author who writes the books I wish I had written and that particular book is one I've gone back to several times, just to enjoy visiting with her and the characters.

    We've always had a pier out to that little bay but it's been a catwalk thing - like a gymnast's balance beam. This new bit high wide one - with my prayer platform at the end - is like getting another whole room added to my house.

    Glad you dropped by.

    Thanks for the blog love. I am going home this morning. I have a bit of shopping this morning and then I head out of town.
