Am I too old? Or have my 'wants' just changed?

 Photo of the day:

 


Two of my favorites in cars.

So for today:

People who know me, KNOW I enjoy old cars.  For years I have wanted an antique car to drive around, not just on Sunday afternoon, just to enjoy.  I still smile, wave or honk my horn when I see or pass an oldie. But I no longer want one of my own.

 AS I think about that I get mad at me.  LOL My sister and her hubby had a big Studebaker auto collection. At his passing we helped her get things squared away. Before the collection was sold, she offered me any of them.  We were traveling a lot and I wasn’t ready. So yes, I could have that antique, but I declined.  WE all make stupid decisions at times; I just make more than my share. LOL


                        This is a '51 Studebaker

Speaking of changes, I was raised on some of the best biscuits in the world. My mama’s made my mouth water. Sherry learned to make great biscuits. I loved them for years, but something happened.  Today I will go out of my way to miss a biscuit. Just don’t seem to want one even with my meals.

I cannot say for sure, but not many people loved biscuits more than me. Gravy and biscuit. Honey/jelly & butter with a biscuit, YEAH!  Mama also served buttered biscuits with brown sugar on them at times for breakfast. Sherry gets frozen biscuits now, they are good, but I am just shut down on bread now. OK, OK,  except maybe Pizza Crust!  LOL

                                    Above is the Biscuit on which I was raised, I am not sure but I think below is a biscuit as known in the UK.  That biscuit we call a 'cookie'.

I blame my ‘problem’ on Covid. My appetite changed after my little adventure with the Covid thang. Most people would be happy in my situation. I lost down from 160 to 137 and have stayed within 2 pounds of that.  The family says I am skinny. I saw my daddy lose pounds in his last couple years, I don’t think I look as bad as he did, do I?  LOL

Has your appetite made any drastic changes.

I mentioned tripping the other day and Brother Victor said he tripped over a snowflake!

PS.

Thank all of you that read here. I enjoy comments and appreciate them as I read. It is great to have friends!                          ;-)  I am not much on cake and pies, but I have gone crazy on Butter Pecan Ice Cream. One box lasts 4-5 days.  I could eat the whole box at one sitting, but I would have to go back to the store too soon.  LOL(That box being what used to be a half Gallon now 48 oz or 1.4 Ltr)

So, you think Covid changed your appetite permanently? How long ago did you have it. I think the less you weight - not dangerously low - the better. You are not too old and your wants can always change.

The old cars are pretty cool. Cars now a days all look alike!!!
I find it a lot harder to keep weight off now that I'm old, even with all my walking.

Yes, you are right. The photo you show is what we call biscuits over here in the UK. That's the photo with many shapes in it; not the one with the red car. Over here we call it a car. Our cars are much smaller than yours because being a small island the towns and cities are closer to each other. The Studebaker you show, if it was parked over here the front would be in one town and the back in another. Being a small country everything here is small. Our house is so small that even the mice are hunch-backed.

God bless.

Regrets? Ooooh ya. I'll never forget twisting my (former) hubby's arm to sell his 1964-1/2 Mustang for $300 .... in order to buy a loaded Thunderbird -- which turned out to be a lemon. (How's that for a run-on sentence, lol.)
Funny, I've been thinking about this very same topic -- changing tastes -- lately.

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...

I still love biscuits. I haven't stopped wanting to eat all the things I love, maybe it's because I didn't have covid. I don't know, but yes, you are skinny. Not me for sure. Hope your taster returns to normal!

Hi Jack. It has been a minute since I've commented. I was checking Blogposts to see if any of my former Blogging friends were still Blogging, and I see that you still are. Wonderful! We had a Studebaker when I was a girl (and that HAS been a "minute" ago, for sure. ) Sending smiles to you.....
