THE LOVE OF THREE BEAUTY PRODUCTS
The first time I put makeup on, I did not have a clue how to do it. I was not allowed to put on makeup until I was thirteen. My mom did not teach me because using makeup wasn't her thing! When I came out of my room with makeup on, my grandfather told me to wash it off! I told him no, I did not wash it off my face! Not after I spent an hour putting the makeup on my face. I was hoping my girlfriend would give me some advice with makeup. She and I were meeting our friends at the movie theatre. When she was at my home I asked her if I put the makeup on o.k. She told me it was good and gave me some good advice. I left with my girlfriend and told her my grandfather told me to wash it off my face. Boy did she laugh when I told her that! I said to her he is Italian and he does not like makeup on women. That day we had fun at the movies, and after the movie ended I went home!

TODAY IT IS ELECTION DAY, GO OUT AND VOTE!
Tuesday morning I drank coffee and went to vote. I only had a five-minute drive to the polling place. The elementary school had two buildings to vote. I went to vote but they did not have me registered to vote. I should have gone to the school right next door. I am a registered voter and I had no problem with the ballot. I received the ballot and I went to an open station to cast my vote. After I voted I waited in line to put the ballot into the machine. I had to wait until the machine validated the ballot. I was there for about half an hour. I was done, I walked to my SUV and went home. At home, I did my chores and later I would watch the election.

THE TAIL OF MY TOY POODLE
It all happened suddenly in November when I called 911 because I had gotten sick with colitis. It was a normal night and the colitis came without warning. I was lying down on my bed with my stomach hurting so badly. I knew exactly what made me sick, it was colitis. I had been thru this a few times before! I had no choice but to call 911 and have the paramedics come to my home. I was in a lot of pain when they arrived at my home. They came and took my vital signs and started an IV. That night I made it to the hospital in an ambulance. I had to leave my home suddenly and poor Smokie my toy poodle was left all alone!

THE BEST HOLLOWEEN PARTY YOU WILL EVER HAVE
Halloween is a time to celebrate with your children, friends, and family. This year because of COVID19 it is best to stay home and have a party. The best part of a Halloween party is to dress up and eat great food. Have your guests dress up and have a contest for the best-dressed custom. Put on some music and dance the night away. Musical chairs is a great game, the children would love to play. Pin the tail on the donkey is another old game to play. Hand a prize to the person who put the tail pined on the donkey. Bobbing for apples is another game and the children will have fun. Making trick or treat bags will make everyone happy, they will love you for it.

TO VOTE IN PERSON OR NOT!
I have thought voting is a special privilege that we have in America! Many countries do not have this privilege! This year because of the pandemic many people in America are voting by mail. It does not matter how you vote but your vote does matter! This year we have a lot at stake, the economy, unemployment, the pandemic, and many other reasons why your vote matters! I know my vote matters to me a lot it always did matter! Americans should be proud to vote especially seniors like I am. When I was twenty I could not wait until I was twenty-one to cast my vote for the presidency. And every time I do vote I want the little sticker that says I voted! I am proud of being an American citizen and a democratic way of life. The decision you make when you vote will impact the United States and the world. The world is watching who will be the next president of the United States.

THE GHOST WAS ON TOP OF ME!
I took the long journey from Alaska to Connecticut to visit my family. My sister was picking me up from JFK airport in New York. It was a long trip from Alaska to Connecticut and I was tired when I arrived at JFK airport. I was glad to see my sister, I gave her a big hug. We went to get my luggage at the luggage terminal. We waited until my luggage came, we retrieved them and we went to the car. I was very tired and I almost fell asleep in the car. My sister was a good driver and she knew New York well. The drive from the airport to my mother's home was an hour. I knew once I got there everyone would be excited to see me! How right I was because when we arrived at my mother's home they were really glad to see me! I greeted them with a lot of hugs and kisses, and they did the same to me! My mother asked me how was the plane ride and I told her tiresome! She wanted to know if I was hungry and I told her just for coffee. So we went to the kitchen to get coffee. My sister brought my luggage upstairs because I could not do it. We talked and had a nice time and soon it was time for dinner.

THE BEST MEAT IS WILD
Living in Alaska is great, every year in August and September is hunting season to hunt big game. All the hunters go for the biggest animal and that is Moose. Moose is the biggest animal in the dear family. Alaska is the one state you can go hunting for Moose. They also hunt for Bear, and other animals too! Cooking wild game is pretty easy if you know what you're doing. Most Alaskans will marinate the meat first to get the meat tender. And many times they slow cook the meat. The best time to hunt for Bears is when they eat berries at the end of summer. When cooking Bear meat it is best to marinate the meat first. The meat should be cooked until there is no pink to the meat. Bear meat is really delicious to eat and it is very good for you. It is much better than buying meat at the grocery store! With meat going up in price. the Wild game will not break the bank but high meat prices will Or the other way to eat is getting on a plant-based diet! Many people are going Vegan for one reason or another.

THE BIG QUESTION IS WHATS FOR DINNER?
I have asked this question when I was growing up. My mom must have heard me say this a lot! Usually, it is up to the woman to figure out what she will cook for dinner! It can get really hard to think of different recipes to cook each night. But that can all change if you have a plan. Meal planning should not be hard it might take a little time to do but in the end, it is worth doing. The best way to do this especially if you work 9-5, is to have a notebook. Put one column for the date, and the day of the week. The next column would be the name of the meal; for example, Spaghetti and meatballs The next column write down the ingredients for the meal that are needed. If you have to buy an item then write the item on the grocery list. By doing this simple task now you have a plan. You have a plan of what recipes you want to make and a separate list to buy an item. Do this for all seven days of the week.

LOST IN THE RUSIAN RIVER CAMPGROUND
I first came up to Alaska to live in 1978. We decided to go fishing at the Rusian River, with our friend. We heard the fishing was great there. We put all the fishing gear into the car and started our journey to the Rusian River. It was a nice sunny day and we were driving thru the flats. The sun was shining on the mountains and they looked pretty. On the other side, I looked out the window, and I was watching for Moose. Going past the flats is very dangerous because the Moose congregate there all the time. They like eating grass and weeds. I could not see a Moose so it was smooth sailing to Anchorage! When we arrived in Anchorage we had another two-hour drive to the Rusian River.

THE GREAT WAY HERBS HELPS THE BODY
Each Herb helps your body in all different ways. At the end of the day, I like to relax with a herb called chamomile. Two years ago I grew chamomile and harvested the flowers. I dried the flowers and I put the dried flowers in a special spoon and had tea. Chamomile tea helps you sleep and if your nervous it will calm the nerves down. I have been drinking this tea for a long time. I put a teaspoon of honey, hot water and, the herb chamomile. One can buy the tea at any grocery store, I also buy the tea with Lavender, I am very fond of the lavender and chamomile tea it tastes great and it will relax you a lot. The tea costs around $2.75 but it is well worth buying it! One can buy this tea in any grocery store
