I went to a potluck today wearing a skort with printed roses. I forgot to bring something because it was in my other wallet and I switched because pocket issues.  The lady I was talking to told me she also  had pocket issues.  She was driving a tractor and her wallet slipped out of her skort pocket and partially melted because it got too close to the engine!

It was a great summer day in New England with temperatures in the low 80s!

I gave away a dozen plants, finding new homes for my peonies. I was able to dig them out with a drain spade and only broke one large root in half.  It helps that I have really good soil.

I talked about my new found confidence in cooking.  I'm now adapting recipes.  I brought Mochiko fried chicken.  Chicken thighs deep fried in coconut oil.  Chicken thighs are very tasty but the pieces are small.  Not a problem in a potluck where everyone wants small pieces for a taste.  I mentioned that next time I'd use Tamari instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten free.  Turns out that two relatives have Celiac and she also learned about using Tamari!  She told me her favorite foods she buys from a nearby Asian market.

That sounds yummy. I prefer chicken thighs over chicken breasts. I'm not a fan of white meat. Dark meat has more flavor and stays juicy. When I buy them at the grocery store, I can usually find a pack of eight large thighs. I'll happily pay extra to get the good stuff.

I have never tried Tamari. I don't like soy sauce, so I may give it a try!

I am a breast woman myself!  I like breasts. 

Often though for chicken Teriyaki thighs are used.  Dark meat can for sure be juicy.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I am learning golf at an incredibly fast pace right now!
I'm able to work on several parts of my game at the same time and figure out how to play better in all of them! 

It may help that my gender issues are behind me now. As well as other issues going into retirement.  So now I can focus on learning new things with my hobbies.

The popular investment strategy today is to pay taxes on tax deferred retirement accounts now by converting them over to Roth Accounts.
That assume your investments will do well.  What if they don't because some idiot is tanking the economy? 
Keeping those taxes deferred as long as you can transfers some of that risk to to US government.
If my investments continue to do well  me and my brother have already found a charity to give it to when we pass.
