12 Things to Do in the Heat of the Summer to Keep Cool / Over 50 

Nanny and Moose,my favorite RU-vid people. Such a magical life. Living in a magical cottage filled with family and love. Nanny like your style and fashion, your cooking is so beautiful. I admire you both for having such wonderful zest for life. I do appreciate the "God Bless Us All!" I do think of that blessing during the day. Sometimes that's the nicest thing I hear all day.

I admire your energy. I’m 10 years younger and find the heat debilitating. I’m afraid we are all stuck with this for the better part of this summer. Love you Nanny. I appreciate all your attention in putting out each and every video.

Moose you do not look silly. As a matter of fact my husband saw you do this and asked if he could do it. So now he is. Men need pampering too.

Good afternoon Nanny. Nanny don’t get tired because the heat is not good for your health. Keep hydrated. I enjoyed seeing Moose in such a good mood.Dinner must have been delicious yam. Thank you Nanny for your video. Good weekend. Love you. God bless you all.

I'm so shocked not at only the high daytime temps, but the low temps are in the 90's in some areas! Please everyone stay safe and keep your animals safe and watch their feet in this heat - their little pads can burn quickly. We will be warming up here in the Ohio Valley this week into the 90s. The last two days have been beautiful. Yes, I get my cooking done in the a.m. and warm it up when I eat.

You are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband, who is always your enthusiastic fan! You live in such close quarters that it is evident that you get along splendidly. You are such a great hostess and an excellent mentor for all of us in your 70s/80s crowd. We are all "crushing" this life together!😊❤😊❤

Moose you do not look silly, enjoy Nanny and Moose videos blessings from Pennsylvania 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nanny, you do the same things I do when cooking and trying to stay cool. You and Moosie are amazing and fun to watch. I admire you both and God Bless You.❤

Oh Nanny, you surely don’t give yourself much credit for doing all that you do. It’s hard adjusting to slowing a little as we age. I’m so glad you are staying so active. I happened to love the hot weather, so I’ll never complain. Living with colder weather in the winter is not something I look forward to. I wished I lived in warmer weather in the winter. Even though we don’t see you too often, you are such an inspiration and hope we inspire you to keep going as much as you can. Please never feel you ever are disappointing. You are amazing with all your gifts and talents. So good to see Moosie. Thanks for all your hot weather tips in staying cool. ❤️

Nanny - you made me laugh thru the whole video. Once again, you hit it out of the park today!♥️ Patricia

Happy Saturday Nanny! Your tips for dealing with the hot weather are spot on. We’re blessed here in NC with temperatures that are much cooler than in other parts of our country. We’ll probably top out in the mid 80’s today. I always pray for the elderly and the babies during extreme weather conditions, even though I’m elderly myself. Nanny your casserole looked delicious, now that’s my kind of eating. Enjoy the rest of your day and be good to yourself. God bless us all.💕🙏

I love cooking with you, Nanny. You bring a big grin to my face with your funny commentary. The end result looks delicious ❤

You are a calming soothing voice on a Saturday morning. God bless you 🙏

You’re doing everything right to stay cool. I agree that a small fan in the kitchen might help a bit. Your amazing. You really are ❤️

Greetings Nanny! I really enjoyed seeing you and Moosie out in the garden staying cool. Especially loved seeing Moose using the jade roller! I cook without measuring a lot too... You know, you just get used to what the texture should be, etc. The whole hot kitchen thing is so draining, I have a fan that I use when I'm cooking these days. Stay cool! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

Good afternoon Nanny! I enjoyed seeing you and Moosie today! Your recipe looked delicious! Thank you for the tips on keeping cool in this Summer heat! Enjoy your weekend and stay cool and hydrated! Love to y’all! 💕

Thank you Nanny for another inspirational and gracious perspective on real life. I love your palazzo pants and white shirt and your comfortable pose for a few minutes in the morning breeze in the garden. I know life isn't simple but you capture all the small joys of your days and inspire us all to do the same. Watering, stocking up, cleaning up, meal planning and food prep are all necessary things, along with as much self-care as we can manage. I loved your advice to "not think about all the things you aren't doing". Good word for a hot day. God bless us all. xo karen.

🌸Hi Nanny and Moosie. You always look so “cool” and in control dear Nanny. I strive to be more like you! I’m in southeast Michigan, and it’s been hot and humid here, too, and of course, the wild fires in Canada have added to the misery for so many. I thank God every day for my AC!! My utility bill will take a lot of my Fixed Income check, but so be it, I’m 67 and have breathing issues. Your casserole looked so good. You are a fabulous cook! Thank you for being here tonight. I’m alone so appreciate your friendly, loving conversations - you always help pass my long nights. Bless you and Moosie and your lovely family. 🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼

Nanny, keeping cool is very important for seniors! On the news they keep telling us that small children, pets and seniors are the most vulnerable to heat. We need to slow down, hydrate and keep cool. Even though I have air conditioning, I have small (4”) fans in certain areas of my home. It just feels so good to have a little breeze directly on me in bed. They say to put a pan of ice cubes in front of a fan to cool down. That sounds good on the patio. Going out in your garden at sunrise is a lovely way to start the day. Not only is it cooler then but you are in the fresh air and nature. Then get all of the necessary chores finished. I love watching you cook. I am not a fish person so I would just have the noodles and cheese and other ingredients. Although I would not have the oven on in this weather. I have been having salads, sandwiches and cold foods. Find something that you can do in bed where it is cool. Reading, adult coloring books, stitching etc. I hope that you and Moose stay cool. Blessings to you both, love, Sharon

I admire your energy i am going to be 80 soon and don't have near the enery you have. Love you guys!🥰🥰🥰

I ❤Moosie. No the rollers dont help my bags either!

Hi Nanny! Yes, the fall project you did last year I just loved. You are so lucky to have that beautiful area in your garden to sit and relax and Moosie loves that place also. His happy place ❤ Love you both.

Hi Nanny : I live in Northern Michigan. So sorry for everyone who is enduring the heat and floods. We have been having a good summer upper 70’s during the day and 50’s at night. Nanny you need central air conditioning 😜

Hi again dear Nanny.....I thought of you this morning as I sat out on our little back yard patio after trimming our ivy and doing some weeding! Whew! Time for some iced tea and my rocking chair! Don't you just love getting packages in the mail? Yes, today my 'Moderma Scar Cream' arrived! Yippie! time to cover the results of too many mosquito bites and scarring! Love your palazzo pants! Yes, going to the market on one of these extremely HOT and HUMID days can really be challenging! Making lunch and cleaning up! Time for my recliner and an ice pop!...enjoying our portable A.C. Yeah! it works great! Because we seem to be busier than ever, I type up a monthly list of our appointments and social activities by dates so not to FORGET any! What did we do when we were working and raising our families! :) All for now....hugs from a nana in Pa.

I've got very hot days ..this week...luckly I've got BIG BEAUTIFULL trees in my garden that's got the awesome sweet smell...early in the morning..or later in the day I call my 2 old dogs...to sit outside om my garden bench...sometimes I rack all the little flowers and leeves on the ground....watering my plants..or doing my Wordsurge book....I live on my own but on the same premises as my children...who Resque animals....our house is being called The Zoo house 😂😂..Thankyou for your wonderfull inspiring videos At 73 and staying alone can be tough sometimes...love to you and Moose 🙋🇿🇦👱🐇🐖🐕‍🦺🙈🐈🙏

We live in northeast Georgia near the mountains. We retired and I decided to go back to work part time maybe because I wasn’t keen on being home 24/7. The weather here this summer has been very hot and humid. We are getting the first whispers of fall now and I love it🍂🍁

Really enjoyed your video today Nannie. I live in Scotland and having lived here in the past you’ll know that we aren’t affected by the hot weather extremes ( at the moment) but global,warming is a terrible concern for us all. Our weather is relatively cool and often wet , even in the summer months. Our weather in July hasn’t been great at all. You’re doing amazing in the heat and looking lovely in your outfit. Have a wonderful weekend and best wishes to Moosie xx

You cook like i do. As long as it tastes good, who cares if we mess up.

I love watching you cook Nanny! Stay cool!

I love you Nanny and Moose! You are the best! 😍

I love ❤️ watching you and your channel. I pray 🙏 that I live to see you alls age. And I will face many more, I pray 🙏 all time for God's strength , health and happiness. So your strength the wisdom is for so many of us. And I say thank you. By the way I enjoyed you all anniversary video I love to do those things to. So God Bless you and Mr.Moose.

Trying to stay cool and still keeping up with house, garden etc. seems to get harder. One thing I do not do is try not to turn on the oven after cooler morning. Microwave helps warm cooked food up later. Gardening chores are done early and it is back inside not too long after 8 a.m. The dog has to get some play time very early too. It has been well over a hundred on and off for weeks. What else can we do but get through it best we can. Moosie how can you root for the Dodgers after they deserted Brooklyn in the dead of night. I am rooting now for the home team the Rangers! Nanny you are reforming me. I am doing a little makeup if only to make myself feel better. I got some costume “stuff”’ to add a little nicer look especially when out and about and your colorful skirts and today’s beautiful casual pants have inspired me to go for it! How can we feel old when we look so good. Got some bio-oil but still use the wonderful Nivea also

Nanny, Here in PHX cooking the casserole in the morning in the oven when we super cool the house. Then microwave it in the afternoon/evening super hot temps works to keep it “Cool”. Loved the idea about using clam chowder in a seafood casserole.

You and Moosie are so kind and respectful to each other. Love to see y'all. From Texas 😊

Thanks Nanny...you're very special...love the cooking class!!!❤

Yes hot weather is upon us here in Sarnia Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 love all your videos I'm almost 71 my husband is 85 we both watch your videos love them ,makes us laugh and cry 🎉😂😂😂❤❤❤

You are adorable! I’m so happy to have found your channel! I love watching you do your daily chores and you make me laugh!❤❤❤. I love The Moose, too!! ❤❤❤

Moose did not look silly at all. Here in Finland it's raining but in day time was warm not hot. I am waiting that August would be more warm. Take it slow in there. You have much more heat in there! Paula

My husband has had problems with his health, including high blood sugar. I changed his diet and within a week it's in the normal range. I cut carbs and sugar. That's it. I even made bread from coconut four.

Good morning,Nanny& Mossie! Its high ninetys here in Florida..🌞🌴

Good morning Nanny & Moosie! We get this heat every summer - it was actually worse last year. We spend mornings on our back porch (faces west), and that's when I water the garden, hoe any little weeds, dump the trash & feed the cats. By afternoon any porch sitting is done on front porch (faces east), but in West Tx the air is dry & feels like a sauna, even out of the sun. So I save any office work or inside chores for hotter parts of the day. Many times we just snack for supper or if I cook it's in the air fryer or microwave to keep heat down in the kitchen. I try to start laundry in early morning. Worst thing about the heat is getting cabin fever!

Hey 👋 Moosie… it always looks funny when you want to look beautiful 🤩 if it feels good… do it!! 👍❤️

That casserole looked absolutely delicious. Hope you both are keeping cool and having a great week. Sending hugs, love, prayers, and kindness from us to you.❤❤❤

As always I love, love hearing about “my family I haven’t met”!…Moose, you don’t look foolish, just adorable!

The casserole looks delicious! Stay safe in this heat!!

Love those “Realistic” cooking segments so relatable 😊

😁😍😄😃☺Nanny, Moosie is so charming and funny out there with you !! He's doing so well. And your hairdo is really lovely !! 🌸💐❤😘 Thank you for your sweet words of wisdom and your thoughtful videos, as always. 💕

I go swimming in a spring fed lake 1 mile from my house! Refreshing!!

Hi Dear Nanny. Loved you’re video again. Great catch-up. Great tips for keeping cool. Us Scottish People, as you know, don’t get too much Sun like You and Moose do! 😜 You are an Inspiration Nanny. All you’re Tips on Life and Ageing are so Relevant. Yes, in this Weather you won’t be Eating heavy meals. It just shows you, what we all have in our Freezer’s and Cupboards! You made a great meal. So stay Safe and Cool, Love and God Bless Cathy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xxx

Hi Nanny! These tips for maintaining energy during this extreme heat are excellent! I am drained by late afternoon. Love the hair comb and pretty pants! I just love having coffee with you in the garden! ~ Belinda

Get a misting hose and set it up. Just enough mist to keep you cool. We put it across the front porch and sit our chairs under it.

I’m in SE Massachusetts. Been warm lately and humid but certainly not as bad as other areas. The casserole looked delicious!!! Stay Cool!!!!❤

Love you nanny you are so real! So much fun watching you 31:46

You are the best Nanny 😂❤

107 in Bakersfield! BTW, it’s not necessary to boil noodles if you’ve liquid / cream soup in pan covering those noodles. (Save a step). We’re indoors mostly catching up on reading. Shopping in a/c only. God bless the outdoors workers!

Oh Nanny, you always make me smile or laugh with the comments you put on screen when something is wrong. Hope only having one earring in, didn't affect the meal lol. Good to see Moose keeping cool. It is winter here so no cooling required just yet. I said I would get one of those rollers last summer and forgot, but I will be getting one this summer for sure. Thank you for the video and much love to you both from New Zealand xx

So glad it’s raining here in New Orlean and cooling thing off. The temperature today was 100 degrees and the humidity the same. 😩😩

Good for you to make such a great casserole on a hot summer day. It looks delicious! Some people call this a hot dish here, where I live. Others say casserole. Depends on your family background, where you grew up. Minnesota says hot dish but the further east into Wisconsin says casserole. Fun fact. You reminded me a little bit of Lucy, when she would do one of her comedy cooking bits. To cool down in hot weather, sit in the shade and place your feet into a dishpan or bucket of coolish water for at least twenty minutes. It cools the blood, which then circulates throughout your body, and cools you down. I also try to wear light colored, linen, cotton, or even silk fabric clothes. And as you all know, drink extra fluids. You both look good. I like the early morning coffee and breakfast in the garden. Very pleasant. I work on projects every day, but don't get everything done as I would like to, and I am many years younger than you. Trying to get my stamina back. Not totally back yet. Not sure if ever coming back. Anyway, thank you for another great video. Take care and stay cool. MJ♥️🌞💦🤸🌸🌊🍉🍶☕🍲🧊🌬️🌡️

Love you Nanny and Moosie great recipe Have a blessed weekend ❤️🙏

Moose didn't look silly at all using that ice roller. and I do think it made him look more awake! You're a wonderful improvisational cook, Mary. I make a version of that casserole using cream of mushroom soup but the clam chowder is a great idea. I like to keep a can of the french fried onion rings for a topping. We like to eat melon to stay cool, especially watermelon, and fruit popsicles. And iced tea with fresh mint!

Love to watch u cook. U remind me things don’t have to b perfect. I know it’s delish.

Oh my gosh you make the most delicious foods! I'm so hungry now! Looks delicious, Nanny.

Nanny & Moose awww so pleased to find your channel ❤❤your so dear… Great looking couple and your blue eyes & beautiful hair is to die for - your so pretty Nanny. Moose you looked great with the ice rollers & Nanny your right on target. I use my cold water bottles the same way when our kitchen gets so hot. Have a blessed day💞❣️💐😘

I absolutely love the pants! Top too!

-Forgot to say, when hot weather, my son loves "Gazpacho" - Really great for heat waves, fridge cold tomato soup! -Store bought or homemade.

I forget an ingredient many times. Your videos are wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks for your keeping cool ideas, it's hot here in west Texas 😰☀️ love watching your cooking pieces 😅😅 didn't even notice your missing ear ring 😀 till you mentioned it, your casserole looked good, I fixed a red enchilada casserole yesterday easy to make, with a toss iceberg and tomato salad try it😊

I HATE to cook but you inspired me to make my own variation of that casserole. Just yummy and I’m so proud of myself!😊 Inspired me to cook more creatively.

I love your videos! The casserole looks yummy but please make that the last hot meal you cook till it cools off. Have you ever considered an air conditioning/heating system called a split? We installed one in our pool house and it’s amazing! Very economical and efficient. It requires no ductwork and is silent. They’re used a lot in Mexico and Central America. They’re perfect for old houses since just a small pipe goes through the wall from outside. We live in Houston where a/c’s probably run 300+ days a year and our pool house is the most comfortable space. Please take care and stay cool. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love the vids you do Nanny! Just recently found you and so admire your energy and lust for life. Its hot here in France now where i live and really only do much in the mornings - early to rise and then maybe siesta - which is hard for me as I feel i shoould be busy! You are right to just allow your body to dictate what you do; i am a semi retired gardener and like you I love to get out there in the early morning - sets you up for the day; Blessings on you and Moose! keep up the good work. xx🌺🌺🌺

Loved this program!! It’s hot in Alabama!! Hugs

Hi Nanny, here in the Uk it’s been the wettest July since forever!..Europe’s heat wave and yours in the USA has totally missed us out….(could do with just a little)…you’re amazing, so calm so accepting…would love to know what really ruffles your feathers (angers you)..xxx

Your casserole looked delicious Nanny! Tfs ❤️🇨🇦

Another enjoyable vlog……great tips on this heat management and your casserole looked amazing. Take care….stay cool. Xx

I’m sweating just watching YOU sweating!! I’ll be praying for some cooler temps to come your way…. Smooches to you both xo Teeny

I just love your cooking segments. Thank you

Hi Nanny! My name is Lynn and I just turned 74... I came upon your shorts in RU-vid and "thinning hair." Like you my hair was thick and long. A beautiful auburn color now white and thin very thin. So when I saw your suggestion on dry shampoo and saw your results..I had hope! So this morning I tried your suggestions for the updo. I've been growing my hair out since Jan this year. At least it can be brushed up on sides and kept back w combs....I'll keep working and watching your channel. Thank you for your videos. Much appreciated.

Do I spy with my little eye a wonderful portmeirion mug? Don't you love it? perfect for a relaxing morning! :). my favorite

I’m glad you made this video. I was starting to feel like I was alone in the frustration from this heat in trying to do anything. Even walking in the store and out to the car the other day was a lot in 109 degrees. Our heat is wet and stifling. We went to the beach early May and Nashville early June but now it’s tests and doctor’s appts. (We share that Moose and I’ll trade you for my colonoscopy😅) I read and watch a lot of stuff. We go out to dinner sometimes or bbq with the kids. I mostly dream of October😂 If you’d ever said I’d dread summer I would have laughed younger. Your casserole and your one earring look divine. I LOVE those pants too. You’re like the coolest Nanny! I’m going to be a Nanny again March 2024🎉 Grand #3 still waiting on my daughter to give me something besides grand cats🥰 xx🥰

Enjoyed the video It is indeed very hot and DRY here in Texas as well. We have not had any rain in July and very little in June. Struggling to keep patches of grass and plants alive. You looked very nice in your Palazzo pants and your white top. I wear Palazzo pants a lot in this heat, really loose fitting anything LOL. I like Salmon, croquettes. But my husband isn’t a fan. You all stay cool. Hugs to you both. ❤ Caroline

Thanks for sharing.......Many of us relate to what you're saying about taking it easy in this heat!

Great suggestions to beat the heat. Our heat wave broke yesterday (not as hot as yours) so it is a beautiful summer day here. Great for walking! I noticed that your apron was made from a non breathable material, excruciatingly hot. I have light weight cotton ones I bought at IKEA for less than $3.00. They were in the tea towel section. Your casserole looked delicious and leftovers are perfect for another no cook meal. Thank you so much for thinking of us during such a scorcher. 🙏❤️

My momma just went to be with Jesus and you brightened my day thank you Nannie

Baie dankie winter in SA love and blessings

Nanny and Moose , Fun video! Nanny, you can whip up anything. A natural cook! Stay cool!

I try to be outside by 6:00 am, then i go back in about 10:30. If i don't get out i get feeling house bound We installed a fan out on the patio and that helps too.

Nanny you are Julia Child in the kitchen!!! I loved her and her show. I could have watched you in your kitchen cooking for an hour or more! You are witty!! This is a COMPLIMENT! You gave me a few chuckles!! Thank you Nanny and if possible more cooking videos would be great. I have made many of your recipes with a little Italian twist to them sometimes. I'm a full blooded Italian gal lol 😂! I will definitely be making this recipe. I love salmon and it looked delicious 😋

Hi Nanny! I was born and raised in California although we live in the Midwest now. It ciuld get debilitatingly hot in the bay area. My folks would take us to San Francisco to get us out of the heat. Thanks for the laughs today. You and Moosie have wonderful fun spirits.God bless. Stay cool and well.🥰

U r such a joy to watch.😁

You both make my day ❤❤

Casserole looks yummy.

You and Moosie have so much fun and the casserole looks delicious. Enjoy your weekend and stay cool.

You are just too funny. Your energy is something else in all the hear. Maybe if you plug a portable fan in the kitchen, it would help you. Have a good weekend.

I love the video!! You and Mossey together are lovely. As you were cooking I was gathering my ingredients to make this casserole:)

Yes, stay cool and hydrated! Love your being real cooking portion 💖

Moosie, you're smart, not silly...

What refreshing videos! I've lately found myself in a very similar situation in life, You are quite encouraging!

Your casserole looks delicious. My kind of food! x

Hi from Annie, your GARDEN LOOKS GREAT AND SO DO YOU!

Add dill to the casserole. I live in Canada, west coast so we get a lot of salmon. Love the pants too.
