I enjoy meatballs with brown gravy, tomato sauce and just plain with melted Parmesan cheese. We had meatballs on Thursday, I didn't know today was International Meatball day either.

Funny, I made meatballs and spaghetti without knowing about the Meatball Day. I use oatmeal in the mix because beef itself means constipation for me. Otherwise, mine is just a meatball.

So it is "the end of summer" for you. I find it so interesting how the weather changes from place to place and especially that we have the opposite seasons between the south and the north hemispheres. Good luck with the winter months!

That is quite a story. I am glad it worked out and everyone was safely returned to the airport lounge.

Wow, that was a scary situation. Thank goodness, common sense prevailed and the flight was cancelled before lives were lost.

In response to "Hotels, good and bad"

The sound of waves is an awesome way to drift asleep, I've enjoyed several different hotel stays that were on the ocean's edge and I agree there's nothing like it.

In response to "Relevance"

I so agree with you about us seniors, in general.
Yet, then, there's those of us who live alone and try to be as independent as possible. We might have become a burden, here in the USA, to Social Security and Medicare, but we at least have worked for it and prepaid for all that, during our past lives. Not that all the people today can understand it!

In response to "Eternal vigilance "

True. I received an email from a friend. Maybe I didn't. But I'm in the U.S. The suffix was .de. Why do I need to respond to my invite through Germany? I looked up the organization, and it seems like something my friend would care about. Am I being scammed, or is this real? I plan to call her today and find out. After all, you can't trust your email.

Good entry
And yes, so true and so tiring that vigilance becomes! I'm afraid to answer any emails, let alone click on any links. I hope and pray things can get better before they get any worse.

In response to "Changes for changes sake"

I'm with you, phone-wise, Sue! I have a perfectly good flip-phone lying around. It still takes pictures, and may be able to send them via Bluetooth; I haven't tried in awhile, so I can't be sure. The reason I don't use it anymore, is because the Service provider shut down the 3G network it ran on. This forced me to start using my wife's old smartphone, which ran on 4G. I'd still be using it, except that it ran out of memory. There were times I couldn't even send a simple text message.

Childhood games

Did you know on this day in history in 1963 the hula hoop was patented? Have you ever used a hula hoop? Did you find it challenging to use?Did you use it for fun or to get in shape? For those of you who have never tried a hula hoop, what childhood toy did you use for fun or exercise?

Yes, I remember the hula hoop craze so well. I actually thought it was before 1963 when I was using it. I would have said about 1960 when I was 16. Perhaps they were around at that time but before the patent.

I loved it, I was 16 and lost so much of my puppy fat weight, especially around my waist. The strange thing is I can never get the thing to spin at all whenever I've tried since.

I don't think we even thought of the word exercise when we were kids, we were just never still. I can't imagine sitting staring at a screen when I was young. If we sat that long, our mothers would have thought we had something medically wrong with us. I played cricket a lot with my two older brothers or we played board games like monopoly which were taken very seriously. We played a street game of badminton or hopscotch. I had a pair of roller skates which I used out on the street with the neighbourhood kids. Skipping was a big part of my childhood especially in the school yard. Someone would bring a long piece of rope, probably a piece of washing line, and we would take turns holding the ends while someone skipped.
