Have a nice day now!
You are hilarious!
Hello Gorgeous and thanks for the laughs! A few posts ago you referred to your thinning hair and the colour and products you used to make it look thicker. Please tell me which products you use?
I tried going grey during a break from work it looked very washed out…grey is great for some but not for everyone….yet.
Hi Deborah! Glad you are enjoying the blog. I use Toppik hair fibers ( can be purchased at Ulta and Sally or from the Toppik website. I also use Dermatch which I purchased on Amazon. I color my hair with Age Besutiful as it is gentle!!! Hope this helps 😘👍
I like the cut of your jib (to borrow an old mariners saying). You’ve got spunk & I like that!
Please take what I’m about to say the right way…. you remind me of my Nan. When I was a young twenty-something (I’m a 40-something now), I spent two years in a largely Sicilian neighbourhood in Belgium where, once an older lady was, well… older… many of them dressed predominantly in earth tones…. DARK earth tones. One time my Nan came to visit… with her canary yellow or emerald green dress suits, foulards & heels… my friends thought she was the cat’s meow (they were right)! She had spunk… So when I say you remind me of her… I intend it as a compliment! 🙂
Thanks Mike! I absolutely take that as a wonderful comment!!!
You deserve all the awards and I bless you as you continue to bless us with your talents of writing, Your blog helps me think about the good ol’ days. LOL
Thank you so much. Comments like yours are incredibly encouraging to me–they make me want to write more and inspire me. Thanks again! XOXOXOXO!!
Saw your comments on Impromptu Promptlings and just had to come and have a look around. Glad I did. Like you, I don’t think I’ve grown up yet. I’m about to turn 64. I’m beginning to suspect that I never will 🙂
Hey Soul! Ain’t nuthin’ wrong with not wanting to grow up! Why should we?? We’re having too much fun! XOXOXO!!!
Love your blogs especially the blogs about Paris. I always feel like I’ve just been there after reading them xxx I wish
Hi Rosemary! Thank you so much!! I wish I could be a Paris tour guide! It could be quite novel–a woman with a heavy New Yawk accent showing people around Paris!!! XOXOXOXO!!!
Thanks for the follow.
You’re welks! I’m enjoying your blog!!!! XOXOXOXO
Thanks so much! I really like yours as well. I write a lot of product reviews, and a lot of my followers are 20 somethings, which I love. I do find myself hammering on about the importance of using a daily SPF. A lot of these gals wear so much make up. I know it’s in style, but yikes! I try to impress upon them that if you don’t have nice skin, no amount of make up is going to help.
Oh, you are just so darn darling! Flawed people are my favorite kind of people! As I am a deeply flawed person myself (almost so much so that I border on perfection! Ha.) I look forward to learning more about you and learning lots from you! I am so glad that I have stumbled upon your lovely blog, dear Catherine!

Hi Shelbee, We are kindred spirits here. Flawed is wonderful because there is always room for improvement. I do not trust perfect–perfection is generally smoke and mirrors!!! XOXOXOO!!!
My sister recommended your blog to me.
Hi Nancy! Welcome aboard and I hope to see you around!!! XOXOXOXO!!!!
Love your blog! You are so funny…..What about your nails?
I love my red nails! I only wear red!!!! XXOXOXO. I hope to keep you laughing!!!
Hey Catherine!
I hope this is ok, but I’ve just written a post on how I would love to see more older women bloggers represented on Pinterest. I have also listed older bloggers I really like and you were one of them. I really hope you don’t mind! Let me know if you want me to change anything. Thanks a million xxx

OMG. Are you kidding me? I’m honored and thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXOXOXO!!!!

I found your blog from Middleagedwarriors post! So glad to meet you💕
Hi Dee Dee! Welcome to the neighborhood. It’s a great little community here! Stick around and have some fun!!! XOXOXOXO!!!!
Oh I plan on it! You may have to run me out of town💕😂
Hi Cathe, it seems like our weight distribution, etc changes with age. I am 5.6 feet and am currently 138 pounds. I was 151 last September and decided to lose some weight over winter (I know very different to the norm). I am 52 years of age and 20 years ago at 138 pounds I was slimmer that I am now. I am still carrying a flabby tummy so it seems I have to keep going and lose a bit more. Have you noticed anything like this for yourself? I know menopause can make a difference but I haven’t got there yet. Lise
Hi CATHERINE,
Nice to meet you here. I am relatively new to the blogging world just dipping in & out when I can. I came across your blog via ‘soul gifts’.
The way you have designed your blog is quite fascinating and hopefully we will keep in touch.
Enjoy your week end 🌝
Hi Margaret!!! And thank you!!!! XOXOXOXOXO
