Probibilities and Possibilities

What is the probibility that a 60+ year old grandma (me) and her 1 year old granddaughter would wear the same color sweater to the one year old's birthday party without first calling ahead to discuss sweater colors? Seemingly slim - especially since my granddaughter's language abilities do not include discussing fashion and colors. But by sheer happenstance my granddaughter and I DID wear the very same color (pink/fushia cable knit) sweaters to her birthday party this weekend. She of course looked very much cuter and younger than I. Words of wisdom on this serendipidous(sp?)occurance: clothing color choices are random acts of ageless possibilities.

The Perils of Knotty Pine and White Paint

Attempting to brighten up the dreary 1950's basement I applied white paint to three knotty pine panels (3 out of hundreds - perhaps several hundreds!). Uncle Kevin, when he finally noticed these three slim panels of white after three days, became apoplectic(sp?)- steam shooting out from his ears and nose and eyes blazing fire. Stamp, stamp, stamp of the feet and pound, pound, pound, up the stairs - not even stopping to turn off the TV or even finish watching his show. Words of wisdom: 1. If you are living with a male and there is knotty pine in your home - learn to embrace it as a permanent decorative feature. It seems to be the decor of choice for most men - well, not Vern on the house trading spaces channel - but he's probably gay. 2. If you are planning on purchasing a new home - with a male - DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING WITH KNOTTY PINE PANELING.

Seasoned. After spending days trying to figure out how to get a google account and set a password I feel seasoned. Onto the blogging.....

What would anyone want to read about from a 60+ older woman who has a too big belly and butt? Seasoned wisdom of another kind. Eat less and walk more.
