More of my simple life

  

Next weekend is our celebration of Imbolc, or Brigit's Day. Feb. 1 or 2.



The various vitamins and prescriptions I take - the ones upside down are duplicates waiting till I finish another bottle.

The best salmon (fresh caught Atlantic) I've fixed... baked 10 minutes with the foil closed, then 4 minutes with it open...just some garlic powder, pepper and maple syrup drizzled over them, at 450 in toaster oven.




My place setting for lunch Friday, Jan. 26, 2024 at the Lakeview Center, courtesy of Council on Aging. Roast pork, brussels sprouts, baked sweet potato, biscuit with apple butter, banana and beverage. We use a name card because often we're sitting with new people. I enjoyed hearing about a couple who go on cruises ever year while enjoying this lunch. I bring my own fork, knife and spoon, and cup. That cuts back on single use plastic just a bit.

Today's quote:
When you turn the corner / And you run into yourself / Then you know that you have turned / All the corners that are left.
-Langston Hughes, poet and novelist (1902-1967)

    1. Good point. Why do I take all those pills? Well, at least to live healthily (or close thereto) for another day!

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
