A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?

Going back to buy them!

Going all out to buy some shortbread cookies in a tin-I love to keep the tins, and
really enjoy those cookies.

It's tradition!

Whether or not I am worth it! Lol.

Send – I appreciate the scriptures you shared.

All these Christmas cookies sound lovely. I was brought up on Norwegian Christmas cookies which are quite different but also very good.

A friend used to make apple cake and I got the recipe and it’s great. How many apples do you use, way? Her cake was fairly spicy.

I made an almond cake yesterday, but didn’t have enough almond flour so substituted some hazelnut flour and, Wow, . It was a great addition. I will do that again. I may make some shortbread this year.

I love your variety of cookies cwillie~
I'm making a rum cake and either peanut butter blossoms or red and green MnM cookies.
I'd like to make some fudge and some chocolate peanut balls too but doubt if I'll have the time.
My brother would love me to make him some of Mother's pecan puff cookies but my SIL can do that IF she would~

My Mom and I always called the Magic cookie bars "Hello Dollies".
They're easy and SO good!

Magic cookie bars have lots of other names, they're the ones that have a graham cracker crumb base followed by sweetened condensed milk, then coconut, nuts and chocolate chips. Though there's lots of variations too with various kinds of nuts and different flavoured chips

Oh my! I just heard my new favorite saying ever:

Wanting and having are two very different things!

Seems so appropriate for the AC website and all the members dealing with unappreciative, uncooperative and difficult loved ones.

Song Lyrics Chris Rice Come to Jesus
Weak and wounded sinner,
Lost and left to die,
O, raise your head for love is passing by,
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus and live.
Now your burden's lifted,
And carried far away,
And precious blood has washed away the stain... so
Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus and live.
And like a newborn baby,
Don't be afraid to crawl,
And remember when you walk sometimes we fall... so
Fall on Jesus,
Fall on Jesus and live.
Sometimes the way is lonely,
And steep and filled with pain,
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain... then
Cry to Jesus,
Cry to Jesus and live.
O, and when His love spills over,
And music fills the night,
And when you can't contain your joy inside... then
Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus and live.
And with your final heartbeat,
Kiss the world goodbye,
Then go in peace, and laugh on glory's side... and
Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus and live,

Alva, Viking Princess!!!! That's me!! I even have the right coloring:-) we'll be an awesome pair of princesses!

You are right, it does help with range of motion and the axes are not heavy. You don't do any hard stuff, it's really range of motion and when you release, not hard throws. I found out the ax won't stick in their ceiling, I released waaaaay to soon and everyone got a good laugh at the mishap. I didn't feel bad as I could see I wasn't the only one that ever did that.

I do recommend it to anyone. Great fun and a good work out.

AX THROWING.
This sounds like the perfect answer to me getting full range of motion on my left side. CANCEL THE P.T.! OMG that sounds like so much fun.
Would get us in shape to be the Viking Warrior Princess position in the next Viking float in the parade as well!

Vanilla Ice Cream and Coca Cola. My 93 year old Mom is a trooper with dementia that is worse now then over 5 years ago. She drinks Port Wine and Vodka Martinis every day. One more than the other depending on what she has more of. She likes dark chocolate but not me as much. I love listening to music but she watches Fox News every day. She’s hard of hearing and doesn’t want to wear hearing amps or hearing aids.

Isthisrealllyreal, that's awesome. Skiing , fishing , knife throwing. Pretty cool!! I'm impressed.

Last year the guys were playing horse shoes. I asked them if I could try. They are heavy and I could never do it when I was younger. I picked it up, threw it, dead ringer, and walked away, I wasn't going to ruin my record. 😂

ITRR Good for you. Safety first! 🪓

Golden, I thought about that too!

Quite frankly I am concentrating on not getting my own foot :-) it is a number of steps to do it right and I am still new enough that I play each one through my head with each throw, then my husband, who is an amazing athlete, tells me what I need to work on to get it right. He is a gifted teacher and has basically taught me every thing from skiing to fishing, I am by nature a total clutz, so any help I can get is appreciated.

I have found being concerned for my own safety is a benefit learning anything that can be dangerous. I pay GOOD attention to instruction :-)

Daisy, ax throwing uses a lot of the same principles as bowling.

We like that it is indoors and we can do it during the heat of summer. Unlike most other places, summer tends to be all indoors in Tucson. Our outside activities are from 5am to 9am, the latest, makes for long, boring days not being able to be as active as we are during the rest of the year. Retirement is proving a challenge during the heat :-/

Way, the 1st session included a free throw of any other weapon of our choice, did some ninja star throwing that was fun but, not nearly as fun as the ax. Next time we are going to do tactical shovel throwing, that looks really challenging and fun.

I just love activities that help with self defense.
