SPINACH PIE AT LEO'S

One of our favorite places for a casual meal is Leo’s.  We can get spinach pie and a bowl of lemon chicken soup, a Mediterranean classic to wet our whistle… with a piece of baklava for dessert. 

In the heart of Royal Oak, Michigan the interior of the restaurant is painted with beautiful murals of Greek scenery. Affordable, the price is always right there and the food is more than delicious. Do you have a favorite place to eat?

BYE-BYE TO A HOBBY

When I was younger I used to participate in a number of  physical activities. But as I’ve aged my body doesn’t want to cooperate, so I’ve had to readjust my lifestyle. And that meant giving up some of my favorite things. One of them was bowling. I used to belong to a league. I used to find so much pleasure meeting with my lady friends... once a week... to bowl and have lunch. Now my knees, back and hands can’t tolerate the slightest bit of exercise to those regions without being in terrible pain. So I had to say bye-bye to bowling. But I miss it and the camaraderie associated with it. Did you ever have to give up a beloved hobby due to physical limitations?

DEAR SWEET NANA

One thing I remember about my nana was always how good she smelled. Sweet and pretty. Her dresser top would be lined up with all kind of things. No  perfume that I recall. But she always had a tin of Lilac & Roses Powder sitting there. It was a staple. And gave her that signature fragrance I remember. Nowadays sweet powders are hard to come by, sports blends dominate the market. And you’re much less likely to find powders in a tin or ones with a puff. So imagine my delight finding this unique container at a local antique store. I instantly thought I  could use it to put powder and a puff in. It reminded me of my grandma. So I added my own powder. And with the help of Amazon and  my husband… I found the right size puffs, a little smaller than usual… to fit the circumference of the container. So I could make this little dream a reality. DO you have something that reminds you of a loved one?
