These are the days we live for … warm weather, fresh fruits and vegetables, beach days, long walks, good conversations, music and new reads, sunshine and occasionally strawberry shortcake for dinner!

A calorie is a calorie!

Retirement affords us many choices and a different lifestyle. After more than thirty-eight years of parenting and kids in the home, a “proper” diet was essential. Having a full dinner on the table meant family time and a well-balanced meal.

Today we choose to eat differently, it seems we take in less meals in a day with three meals often traded for two meals daily. Sometimes breakfast for dinner is a welcome choice for us.

Retired life is definitely the good life. Some days we do eat a well-balanced diet and hit the gym and other healthy lifestyle choices. After decades of raising kids and career jobs, now it’s truly our time. We celebrate our lives daily and thank God for all our many blessings.

Some days those blessings include fresh homemade strawberry shortcake for dinner! And just saying it makes me smile ,,, strawberry shortcake for dinner? ok!
