Boy have I found a deal for you!

The Saturday WSJ is full of interesting ideas and helpful hints for the AVERAGE person.  This morning's edition has a really great article for women 50 and over.  It tells of ways that you can get yourself to look not like 50 but rather like 20 or 30 maybe.  Here is all you have to do:

• take on good nutrition for only a cost of $23,000-$45.000
• do some things with you hair for $8,500-$50,000
• get the special make up at the bargin price of $500-$2,000 per session
• get into the personal training area for only $50,000-$150,000 per year
• have that special hair at the rate of $12,000-$110,000 per year
• finally get some work done on that body like fat freeze etc for only #11,000-$39,000 per year
• IF YOU TAKE THE LOW RATES IT IS ONLY $105,000 PER YEAR BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT/NEED TOP END IT WILL COST $440,000 PER YEAR
• of course it is a personal choice on your part but look what you can do with a new body!!!

I also got the low down on some dress up ideas for men.  They say that the gold chain is way way too mundane for men but now they should go for pearls which is beguiling!!!  I think I will stick with my wedding ring and maybe a wrist watch if I don't have my phone with me!

I am wondering what the paper is going to do with the sports section now that ALL major sports are suspended for the time being.  Today there were articles about different sports and how disappointed players are but that really can't be the story everyday so we will see what happens going forward.

Of course the entire news world wide is the COVID-19.  They say it is now on the downhill in China but I do not know if that is true.  Terry has a Dr. appt next Tuesday and I am not sure she should go.  She has not been feeling well the last couple of months and going to a Dr. office, I am not sure.  

The phone shows temps in the mid to upper 80s for the next many days.  Six of the days show full sun and I am guessing it will continue to be dry dry dry here.  If anyone is interested in a temp war today Jamestown wins at 13 now!  I am not sure that is a winner or a loser!

Life stages---into our life comes weddings and grandchildren

Life did not get any less busy as the years rolled by.  Sometimes it seemed like we would celebrate and then when we turned around it was to celebrate again!  I am not saying that was bad, I am saying that was a sign of a busy life as days, weeks, months and years seemed to fly by the window of life.  I would say this stage kind of started in 2000 and went from there.

• In May of 2000 Amy and Aaron were married.  Now we were excited as we had 4 adult kids, a new in law and who knew what would come next!
• We had to wait two years for something new in the family and it came in June of 2002 when Mary and John were married.  In the same vein as Amy and Aaron, the wedding reception was large, loud and fun.  We were again excited to add to our family.  
• So the wait was kind of long but in August of 2003 we started a new experience, grandchildren.  Henry came into the Lee clan August 21 and one would have thought Grandma and Grandpa were young again as they were so excited.  Little did we know that it was the first of many little ones.
• We had to wait almost 2 more years for #2, Liam who was born in April of 2005.
• Then came Leo in April of 2007, on tax day.  At this time we are beginning to question if there are any little girls coming!
• Finally Faustina arrived in May of 2008 and then Audrey came in october of 2008 so by that time the girls were beginning to even things out!  
• I will not go into all the births that followed but at this point in time the girls out number the boys 6-8!!!  I would say 6 girls are about equal to 8 or so boys, right?
• Jude came into the world in August of 2009 and that marked the last time Gail left the house as she went over to Cynthia's to help if she could.  
• Gail died in September of 2009 and my world changed in many ways.  In what ways, that will be in another chapter of Stages of Life.
