Who said when you are over fifty and a grandparent of a 15 year old male, a 12 and 7 year old female that you have to act like a granny nanny?

Well now that the weather is changing to that cool wet damp time of the year here in the eastern USA, it's time to think about preventing colds, flu, and stuffy heads.
Mom always made warm apple cider with a cinnamin stick. That really warmed us to our toes. I really loved it when mom made home made apple pies...a 9 X 12 pan, which was deep dish back then. She would serve it piping hot with milk poured over it. It was cooled down just enough to eat it. It was great being a kid back then! Mom would also make her home made chicken and rice soup. I believe the kettle was about 15 quarts...or so it seemed like that to me at the time. We had soup for a week. But it did keep us from getting a cold or the flu.

I know that it is the begining of summer, but are there any of you out there that start crafts now for the christmas season? I do. I like to get a head start on crafts that I can give to any one for christmas. One of my favorite crafts is making a music box from a wooden cigar box.

Crafts of any kind keep your mind and hands busy. If you have arthritis doing any sort of craft is a plus. I do so many crafts U don't seem to have time to do much of any thing. Especially now that I have published a book. I am busy trying to get book signings as well as writing articles for many news papers to expose my book.
