A Thrift Haul / Amazon Finds / My Glorious Garden and Gratitude 

🦋Hi Nanny & Moosie and friends watching. I can’t wait to hop over to Mary’s Nest! I collected a lot of “Franklin Mint” ‘Gone With the Wind” plates and dolls, along with crystal ornaments and some ‘Precious Moments’ miniatures. My husband filed for divorce 2018 and I was 62, he 65, together 35 years. I was devastated and lost my home, garden and almost all collections. I had to move out of state for my grandchildren, so it all had to go. I got virtually NOTHING for any of it. It about killed me, but, five years later I’m okay. My mom was a collector, but hoarded….it was awful when she died….cost thousands to clean it up and most all of it was ruined by time and filth…sad. I have learned a lot, now 67, and in an apartment so collecting has stopped. I sure miss it!!! God bless you all, and thank you so much for your heartfelt outlook on the lives of those of us at a certain age. ❤️🥰🌹❤️

Hello Nanny. Well my take on the way the world has gone for all of us. COVID has had such a negative effect on so many. Shutting down everything for months on end caused so much depression and the feeling of loss. The crime, shootings and other strange happenings have changed the world we grew up in. People don't know who to trust anymore. This effects all ages not just us older people. If it weren't for our faith, I just don't know how we would deal with the world of today. You do make the world so much brighter for all of us. We are watching Mary's nest now. Thanks for the tip.❤️

Nanny, I enjoyed today’s video so much! Your content is always so interesting and informative! You look so glamorous today, as most days. I love your zest for life and aging! I am 76, and you are teaching me to enjoy life again. Thank you for all you do to help us “older” ladies! ❤️😊

I use to collect different things but as I’ve gotten older I’ve sold most of my collections and trying to be more of a minimalist. I don’t like the clutter anymore. We all need to do what we enjoy!!!

Hi Nanny! When I was in high school I worked as a nurse’s aide in a nursing home where my mom was a head nurse ( RN). On my lunch break I would go visit some patients in their rooms and spend time getting to know them. I learned so much from them. We’d talk about their youth and different things they did when they were young. We had “girl talk “ about fashion and tv shows etc. That was in the early seventies. Until this day I hold these memories so close to my heart and remember what an honor it was to know them. I love your description of “pro aging”. It’s so important. Time move too quickly!!❤🥰😘

My best friend Joyce was an avid collector and I also loved to collect. As she was reaching 80 I kept telling her you don’t need all these things but everything she had was beautiful and unique. Sadly she suffered a heart attack but two days before her passing she attended an auction and brought home a steiff bear. She was thrilled!! She enjoyed collecting until the end. It brought her joy!!

As a psychotherapist I have learned that artistic folk and creatives have a tendency to appreciate, collect and enjoy what delights their eye or quicken their spirit. Carry on, nanny! I so appreciate your channel!

Collect away dear Nanny! There’s no reason to give it up. You can do the things you love and if collecting gives you joy, do it! We love you!

Your garden is absolutely gorgeous Nanny. You look extra pretty today

That was so kind of Mary to recommend your channel. You truly deserve more views and subscribers. From the other RU-vidrs who are in their 80’s..some even in their 60’s…you show us surprisingly, more activity, more creativity, more “eye candy”, (jewelry, outfits, flowers, plants, recipes,sceneries, etc, etc), the others mostly sit in front of the camera and talk… You give us hope by your living…. 🍃💕🍃🦋❤️🦋🍃💕🍃

Fun video Nanny. Your garden is lovely. Think you have the answer about what to do with your costume jewelry collection. You already have a great granddaughter who is in love with it, so to her it would be a treasure. Sounds like she enjoys the same things you do. Anyway it’s worth thinking about. Blessings to you and Moosie and all your wonderful fans. Good bless us all.💎💍

Hi Nanny, you looked Beautiful in your video. That top you had on and Jewellery were just gorgeous looking. When stuck in bed recovering from my cancer treatment. I bought/collected Teddy Bears Steiff and Charlie Bears. From QVC. I have them all in their boxes. I am not collecting anything now. Just getting on with life. Love and God Bless Cathy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xxx

Mary's nest sent me here and I have watched a ton of videos. I adore Nanny and the Moose. Nanny brings me such joy.

First, your beautiful flowers simply take my breath away. Thanks for sharing them. Second, I love seeing your thrift hauls. I am a thriftier and my collections mostly are things I remember from my childhood growing up on the farm and from the 70's years when I was first married. I love making little vignettes with my collectibles and being surrounded by things that stir my memories. I am definitely a maximalist and love a cozy space filled with things I love. My children have already said they don't want any of these things. But that is fine with me. I don't collect it for them. And I told them that when I am gone, just hire a company to open up the house and have a giant estate sale. It brings me pleasure to think of thrift hunters (like me) walking around and finding some wonderful treasures of their own. Meanwhile, I will enjoy the thrill of the hunt. But if all my collections disappeared tomorrow, I would be fine. I realize my greatest treasures are the people I love and my greatest joy in life is spending time with them. But everybody needs a hobby and I think thrifting will always be mine. Love your channel, Nanny!❤

Nanny you look so elegant today in the brown top and natural toned jewellery. Enjoy your visits with the grand and greatgrand kids. Bye for now from Australia.

Love you Nanny and love your show and tell jewelry showtime today, yummm 💗ps, you look gorgeous

I came from Mary’s Nest. She’s truly an angel and I am so glad she told us about you! I’m loving your videos and you are so fabulous. I truly look forward to your uploads. I even attempted to make fluffy eggs because you mentioned you wanted it and instead surprised Moosey with Del Taco 😄❤️

Another great video Nanny! The garden is beautiful and your sharings of your collections was lovely. I love jewelry and make costume jewelry when I get in the mood. Love sewing and home interior decorating, flowers, you name it......much like yourself. I have collected Boyd's Bears for my grands and guess what......they don't care to have them. :-( Perhaps their babies will! :-) I also have enough fabric and home decor fabric to last the rest of my days.....in fact it will probably outlast me! LOL Most my concentration of life has been God, Family a home that is comfortable and to "listen" and "care". I love your new found jewelry pieces. You always look so "put together"....Bravo for you! I think as we get older we sometimes forget to care for self........and that's important! Lovely video, I enjoy all of them. Blessings to you and Moosie and your upcoming outings to the children's events!

I loved this video Nanny your garden is beautiful you and Moosie going on the road trip will be fabulous best wishes to your grandchildren will look forward to the next video 😘😍

First Mary Ellen…love, love, love your look today! I can’t believe I’ve not heard about Mary’s Nest…I’m definitely going to check her out. Love all your goodies too. Give Moosie a hug from me..xo p 🌷

Nanny, love your beautiful outfit today. You look like a model! Glad that you are talking about, what we mature people are thinking about these days. We have been planning to take our great granddaughter to Hawaii this year. After discussing again about the whole trip, we decided it would be a big expends, and the way things are going, we better not at this time. She didn’t know where we were going. Now we have decided to take her to the Oregon coast for a week. She loves the ocean. God bless you and Moose, you two are wonderful! 👍🏻💕🙏🏻🇺🇸

You look adorable today. Fashion estate today. very elegant love the necklace and bracelet l really like . What else can I say your a beauty lady give moose my reguards. Blessing to you all 🙏👍🌹

Your garden is so beautiful , so is your jewelry . What a amazing woman .

WOWZA! GLORIOUS FLOWERS!

Hi Nanny, You look beautiful in those soft earth tones today. Love your lipstick shade, as well. The jewelry sets it all off perfectly. What good taste you have! I have always noticed that about you. You have a good rest of your week. Maureen ❤

Absolutely beautiful garden Nanny!❤ Love visiting with you and Moose!❤❤ XO

Pretty, pretty, pretty! Pretty flowers in your garden. And I heard some meowing while you were out there! And that beautiful brown shade of your top is YOUR color! Along with the tan-ish, gold-ish necklace. You've never looked more radiant! Blessings!

Ive never seen poppies that wondrous pink color. Thank you for sharing.

Nanny you’re looking very sharp today love the earring holder .The garden is in full bloom 😊

Hello Nanny love your whimsical garden. I am 61 me and my husband love to collect as well. I love to collect crystals, angels and dishes, my husband loves to collect marbles. Every chance we get when we travel, we go to antique stores love your sassy jewelry I myself have a collection of jewelry I have three daughters and two granddaughters someone’s got to get the jewelry. Love your videos can’t wait to see one with your lovely daughter-in-law.

I used to collect Red Rose bird cards when I was a kid. Mom drank a lot of tea and I love the birds!💖 🐦🐤🦅🕊🦜🦜🐦🐤🦅🕊🦜🦜🐦🐤🦅🕊🦜🦜

Nanny, I do enjoy your fashion thrift hauls as well as the Amazon hauls. I bought the blue bracelet from Amazon and just love it! I can't believe how soft and comfortable it is to wear. You have also turned me on to head wraps. I have accumulated a whole drawer full and love to pair them up with boho summer dresses to lounge around outside. I am almost 20 years younger, but your style really appeals to me!

I love your garden, it is magnificent. I think the crowding of the plants made them show up better and gives it a beautiful presentation. Love you and Moosey.

Another WONDERFUL video. ❤❤I love listening to you talk about all different things. re: collecting. You are correct in that your kids and grands won’t want all your collections but they may want some. I loved the way my mother in law got rid of her stuff when she moved to assisted living. She put it all out in organized groups ( kitchenware, art, books, etc) and we all went and took what we liked and she said to donate all the rest and that she would not be insulted if we didn’t want much or anything for that matter. I think the ticket is to keep it organized. Something tells me you have some wonderful treasures there that will be snatched up in a heartbeat by someone who will love it/them.

I subscribed to Mary thanks for the recommendation 😊

The gardens look beautiful as ever. I have been a collector of cookbooks. I try to stay out of the thrift shops because I inherited my parents and one of my sister's things. I'm not sure what to do with it all, but am working on it. I was thinking that you could open an antiques, collectables, and design shop, where you could "recycle" some of your treasures. You are such a creative spirit and understand human relations, you would be great at this. But on the other hand, maybe you are at a stage where you can sit back and enjoy your collections of treasure from your life. I have thought of opening some kind of store in order to unload some of the family treasure. For now I have it stored in various antique/collectable cabinets. I have a TV set from the beginning of television, a radio from I think the forties which I store old records from the thirties, forties on up through the sixties anyway. I could go on. You get the picture. This is why I try to stay out of the thrift stores. However, I love the beautiful jewelry you have on in the video. Looks great on you. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the invisible age in an upcoming video. Have a wonderful time at graduation and concert in San Diego. Take care. MJ♥️🌼🌹🌸🐦

You look very beautiful in that color, Nanny. If you enjoy the collecting, do it! You've earned the right to do anything you want at this age.

I just love everything about you! 💖💗💝

That garden truly is glorious. You deserve it. Wonderful job. And those are some incredible finds.

Aww! Good morning Nanny..I love things that makes me happy. I have given up sooo much several times that I just am not a minimalist. I like Owels, Nautical, Bo Ho,Coke stuff,Lighthouses & what ever? Boxes( little).🤪 I am 75 & like you said who knows what or who want's this,my son likes some.. Love the earring holder.😊👍Take Care! You& Moosie are awsome.🌞🌴💞

Love what you’re wearing today such a beautiful color and goes well with your jewelry. Your garden is very pretty!

Hi Nanny, your garden is absolutely beautiful! The jewelry is so pretty and I think you really scored. One of our grand children graduated from high school yesterday and she will be off to college in August. Believe it or not, I have never collected anything. Have a fun weekend with your family! Love and blessings to you both, Sheila.

Great video Nanny!! I love your thrift haul!!! You have great taste and all your jewelry looks great on you. I love the green ring and the pieces you were wearing in your video. Your garden is absolutely beautiful. I don't have a green thumb and I sadly kill plants. Isn't it amazing how much beauty God created in our world?? I can see beauty in anything. Looking forward to your next video on pro aging!!! Hugs to you and Moosie ❤

It's the rain that has helped your garden!

Hi Nanny&Moosie,Iam first today.Can’t wait what you’ve got for us today xx😘😘🙏❤️🙏

What a find that jewelry "tree" is...good go Nanny! I collect things for my garden and chickens - the chickens are confined to my kitchen area. I rarely buy them new - I love thrifting too and found a lot of great things for my garden, esp during the pandemic!! People were cleaning out like mad... xoxo

Your garden is so very pretty, Nanny! You and Moosie do such a great job with the variety of plants out there. Your thrift finds are both items I would have had to purchase, too! The earring holder is really unique with the tiers and dish thingy on the bottom....love it! And as always, love the jewelry!! Great video and I enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you, Nanny, I never, ever get bored listening and watching you! Like I've said before, it's like having a chat with a best friend....always a treasure! God Bless you and yours every single day....sending love to one of my best friends!

I nominate you for Queen of the utube so cute always and a blessing Nanny !

Lovely video as always, you look so beautiful. I just love collecting new plants, my garden is it bit like yours, if I like something, I will always find it a Home. I'm 78, have plenty of clothes & Jewelry, birds (live ones) who fly around me, inside & outside the house. Now my garden is is my main hobby. Love from Australia.

I like showing you off to my friends, speaking of your uniqueness.

I always love seeing your garden! It’s so lush and full of glorious color…and those poppies! ❤

Hello dear Nanny.....Once again such a lovely video...Just love your enthusiasm in finding all those beautiful thrift items....Your enthusiasm is so youthful and endearing. Your gardens are just lovely. We are at the moment here in Pa. surviving terrible smoke coming south from the terrible fires in Canada and have been advised to remain indoors as well as keeping our windows and doors closed. Last week I went back to one of your previous videos on how to find the energy to get things done with such sage advice...AND yes, it's ok to rest now and then and even take naps! My cats have known this long before me. Your videos are always so enjoyable. Looking forward to hearing about your travels for your grandchildren's graduations! Be safe and enjoy....Hugs from a nana in Pa.

I just discovered Mary's Nest a few days ago. She is great and full of information but you are still my favorite.❤ I

Nanny love your videos You look so beautiful today injoy you time with grantgran children wonderful weekend be safe love yall hope see you soon

💖

Your garden is absolutely gorgeous Nannie and Moosie. My husband was the collector in our family. I didn’t get the gene for shopping and collecting so I really enjoy seeing and hearing about all your acquisitions. Your bronze look today was beautiful, love it with the jewelry you chose. Thanks for the friendly chat.🙏❤️

Looking beautiful. Love love love the garden! 💗Sending you love hugs prayers and kindness.🌸🩷🙏🏼👍🏼ps I just went over and subscribed to Mary’s Nest. 👍🏼💗

Nanny, your little granddaughter so loves your jewels maybe you could leave them to her ,she may have your flare for collecting things ?......really love your chats also Moosie has a very strong voice ,stay well and safe x

I love glass art and jewelry. Love your show. My husband wants me to let go of the glass. It’s hard. So I make him to be patient.

Your garden is absolutely beautiful! Stay blessed! 🙏💕

Oh, how I would love to see your channel and 'Marie-Anne Lecoeur - The French Chic Expert' channel do a split video. Would be so much fun!

❤

Hello Nanny! Love your channel! Your calming voice and interesting variety of subjects. I would have to say I love collecting plants (running out of room to put them, lol) and clothes. Especially tops. 😍

On Nanny ... I love you. Your love of costume jewelry reminds me so much of my late Mom. She passed during the same week that she turned 80 and that was 17 years ago. I will be 70 in about a month. I can't believe it...wow, it's a big one for me to grasp. Anyway, over the years I have collected Longaberger baskets, beautiful hankies (I always put a couple in my purse for weddings and funerals and almost every time give one to someone for their tears of joy or sadness), and my biggest weakness all my life has been my love of handbags. I always find another one that I just have to have. I keep telling my husband I'm not buying more at my age and he says if it makes me happy, just do it. I'm an avid reader so always have plenty of books as well. Keep up the great work on your videos and have fun. See ya next time!

Hi Nanny, love all your thrift items you have a good eye. Your garden is glorious so is mine right now lots of Hugh iris and peony’s. My mother in law who lived in Redlands Calif. had a barometer just like that with a matching table under it at her front door. That’s a great find. Hugs Bea

You look absolutely gorgeous Nanny! -Specially with the spectacular sunglasses on! -Please keep on collecting!!❤❤❤

You look beautiful today with your hair up.. very elegant!!❤️ Another great video..I enjoy every one. Thank you!! Oh.. what outfit is this today? I love the top.. I hope you will follow up on your “outfit of the day”..😍🎉

you always look so elegant and your garden is FABULOUS

My Mother n Daddy were collectors , so as I get older I am more n more like them . I like pedestal dishes also , I love jewelry , I love metal, pewter , silver mini sugar n creamers etc Pamela the Master Cosmetologist from Okla

That's a lot of beadwork. You look great!💖

Good afternoon Nanny and Moose. Loved your video as always. The garden is fantastic with so many colours. I love your garden. What a peaceful place. Loved your new jewels all matching. I use to collect some, special when I worked to match with the dresses and suits etc. Since my retirement from work, I started to wear more comfortable clothes as denim pants, t-shirts and sneakers, as I live in a beach area. From time to time I use those jewels that I like and that are kept in a box. The only thing I still buy that makes me happy are books by my favourites authors that help me pass the time. I have a great collection of books that date back to my 10 years old and that have accompanied me throughout my life. Here we have a saying that goes like this: whoever has a book is never alone. As far as I am concerned, it’s very true. Have a very nice weekend in the company of you nice family and enjoy all the events. Love you Nanny and God Bless you all.

Hi Nanny..love the barometer!!

You just keep on collecting, Mary. We can live each day as if we're going to go on, in this life, forever. Doesn't matter who wants it or gets it after you've moved on .What matters is that you're enjoying the things you find now. The thrill of the hunt!

I love your necklace!! ❤️

I really enjoyed this video.❤ I always liked to go to yard sales and thrift store too.♥️

Absolutely beautiful garden! I use to collect Fenton glass slippers … I probably have 20..I stopped though when I realized no one was ever going to want them…maybe my granddaughter will some day but I doubt it…my mom collected antique green handled kitchen utensils..probably had 50… I did find a buyer for them when we moved her to a small Brookdale villa.

Your garden is beautiful 🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Texas Lady🤗

Looks great a good garden

That’s a great find!!

Big weekend for me I turned 80 on Monday! Yay me! Yes I am a collector. It started with bells, small decorative boxes, antiques any and all! I have started weeding out simply because not all mine have same taste as me. Oh I love dishes and glasses. Yes at times I feel very invisible. But granny used to say pull up your big girl’ panties and move on! I have found at this age that must keep busy. I have found junk journaling on you tube and now it is a new hobby. And I use for gifts so a win win for all. Keep on taping and enjoy your family. And thrift thrift thrift.

When I was younger I loved to listen to what my mama had to say. I enjoy collecting and decorating. I say enjoy it at no matter your age. Love watching you!

Hi Nanny, that barometer was a true find. Lovely to view your vlog as usual Keep well you and your Moose.💟🍃🌺🍃🥀

I love to thrift shop but have changed how I do it now. I have gotten rid of a lot of things over time and if I want to buy something, then something else in my home has to go. I no longer just buy or collect and keep adding to what I have, so if I want to buy something, I have to really think about it because I then have to think of what it will replace. So that has really cut down my thrift shopping and shopping in general. So now when I do buy something, it is VERY special and will replace something else in my home. I'm 68 and realized I had so much "stuff" that it was out of hand, so I've donated a lot of "things" to different thrift stores, Goodwill, and charities. I had to think about my children when my time comes and I don't want them to have to go through a million things to clear out.

Loved the video. I would love to find an earring carousel like you found. Have a wonderful weekend with the family. Safe travels! ❤

Speaking of your little great-granddaughter who is attracted to your jewelry.....when my little girl returned from her first day of school, kindergarten, I asked how her day was...”Great” ! How did you like your Teacher ! “Great, Mom, she Wore Great Earrings !”.......my little fashionista Barbie Doll ! 👧🏻💗🌸🌷👌🏼

Well Nanny, I'm still at my mom's trying to clean everything out. Her sudden death really did a number on me, but she was prepared & we spoke of it often. Slowly but surely (it's now been 2 weeks today) I'm accepting fact & trying to separate from the deep grief & emotion a little. First time I've been on RU-vid since last time I commented on your Idaho trip. So true about really listening to older people - even though I'm 65 already - and it's important for THEM to feel heard. Thanks for being my port in a storm; I couldn't hope for another channel to get back into life than yours. Love, hugs, and blessings as always.

The garden is looking beautiful. That ring you were wearing in this video, I got my nana's brooch after she passed, that looks the same. Very pretty. x

Thank you for taking us on your trip to Idaho! I have never been to that part of the country, but I hope to get there someday. It is beautiful. The middle dial of your barometer looks to be a hydrometer, telling you the relative humidity of the area you are in. It doesn't look to have been working, since the dial was on 0% and I'm sure that your humidity is much higher than that with all of the beautiful, lush growth in your garden! I'm not sure how to fix it. As always, I enjoy our visits and listening to everything you have to say. You're such a lovely person. God bless us all.

My computer has been down for the last 10 days - I've missed your videos! So glad to be up and running again. My neighbor has had so many of his plants eaten by the deer and he even sprays them with deer repellant. Your garden is lovely.

Hi nanny, collecting is FUN! I LOVE to collect wicker furniture, started collecting in my 60's! I adore it! Great video ! GOD bless nanny & moose. ❤

You looked great in that vertical striped shirt of olive and white...

YOU ARE SO ADORABLE, LOVE YOU NANNY❤❤❤

You looked so beautiful in the garden. Loved your earring holder. Such fun!

Yes! I love listening to the experienced ladies! Your garden is blooming with joy and happiness! You are one of the best thrifters, too! I am eager to enjoy your next video on "pro-aging!" I am learning as much as possible to enjoy and prepare for all seasons of life. Your channel is both a gift and a blessing to me!~Belinda 🌺🌺🌺

Great video Nanny 👍👍 I am a collector I started very young going with my father to auctions he loved collecting Persian rugs I collected stamps So I love antiques can’t stop myself at 72 😄 for sure I am not a hoarder I collect limoges ,vintage Royal Dolton figurines , vintage Persian rugs and vintage China sets I have one son he loves antiques too but not sure if his wife does So will they keep my collections or get rid of it ?? Who knows !!! What matters I am enjoying my collections now and will not part with it God bless 🙏

Your flower garden is beatiful! Always love your thrift shop hauls, hope you and Moosie have a wonderful trip and visit with family.

Good morning Nanny. Your garden is beautiful. Yesterday I planted flowers and herbs in pots on my patio. I hope that they take hold this time. It broke my heart to stop feeding the birds. Hopefully someday when I am assured that the rats are gone I can resume feeding them. So I am hoping that these new plants will thrive. I did not have perlite, but I use Miracle Grow potting soil. Crossed fingers! My roses are really blooming. I find that most don’t have the rose fragrance. However, I have one in my front yard and one in my backyard that smell heavenly. Like the most beautiful perfume! So I am blessed to have two special bushes. Love your earring holder. You got some wooden earrings last year that would go nicely with your new jewelry set. That is a lovely barometer. It will be perfect in that spot. Collecting…oh my. Yes, since I was a little girl I have had collections of one kind of another. When I was little it was stamps (from pen pals around the world) and coins. Then I would keep little “treasures” that I would find. As an adult my collections became associated to my interests. As a stitcher I collected thimbles. Friends would bring them to me as they traveled. They are small and tuck easily into their luggage. I expanded to antique sewing and needlework things. One item that I treasure is a book from about 1901. The young lady had to describe the process of a stitch then attach the fabric containing that stitch. It was obviously for a school project. It is a thick book and very well preserved. She was a very good stitcher. Of course as a sewer I have lots of fabric. Because I love crazy quilting and embroidery, I collect threads, beads, buttons, anything that can be sewn on. My husband and I enjoyed “antique-ing”. He could spot something wonderful that I would miss. I also love books. Then I became interested in card making. Now I search for beautiful papers. By now you have an idea how my home is. Now I also collect antique tea accouterments, teapots, cups and saucers. Yes I have heard about animals and birds “collecting”. I believe that certain things bring us comfort. Perhaps a sense of security. It is a tangible reflection of our interests. I know, because I have asked, that my children do now want any of my things. I am sad that I will not know where the things that I treasure will land. Oh yes I love a pedestal. It does elevate the presentation of a dish (pun intended). I also like tiered dishes. You can serve a variety of foods in a small footprint on the table. Yes I am thinking teatime…lol. I hope that your weekend was wonderful with family. Blessings to you both, love, Sharon

Love everything you shared with us today! An area that I'd love to see the media take a different advertising approach is around showing how quick and mentally sharp we are as we age. The sharpest women I know are in their eighties, you and my aunt are at the top of that list! I'm in my sixties and see how we're portrayed as we age. Many are very subtle messages, while others are direct. A few wrinkles mean we have experience and that counts for so much and we need to honor that. Iris Aprel (age 101 and says she'll never retire) and Martha Stewart are such great examples of how we're still powerful as we get older. We can make as positive a difference in the lives of others just as we did when we were younger. In my thinking, showing our capabilities as we age encourages and lifts up others to do the same. Don't get me wrong. If someone has worked hard and they're ready to retire and take it easy, that's great too. But for those of us who still want to be active and productive, portraying us as such is important. xoxo

I love your garden and you look beautiful?

I switched over while watching you Nanny and I subscribed to Mary's Nest. Not sure if I'm interested in being a modern pioneer but perhaps I can learn a few things from her. Love to you and Moosie❤❤
