Happy Wednesday! It is time once again for Today’s News for Women over 50.
Today’s News for Women over 50 is the ONLY blog which brings you lifestyle news, just for you, in one location.
I look for information I think you may want to know and encourage you to research more if it is related to your health.
I also compile recipes with you in mind…healthy, interesting, easy, and helpful if you are cooking for an event or crowd.
Listening to you tell me what is informative and interesting to read has been a big part of how I curate these articles together for you.

Pamela, you do a great job collecting this information for us, there is always some takeaway for us to learn, thank you. And the blue blazer and scarf in your photo look fabulous on you.
Second for Irene’s comment.
Thanks Irene! Have a wonderful day!
Thank you as well, Susan…and enjoy this lovely August day.
The VegOut article is so good—“fashion isn’t shallow, it’s deeply psychological “. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome, Kim! Glad you enjoyed.
I love, love, love your Wednesday posts. I not only find them interesting, but informative and directed to us older ladies. I know it takes some time even a great deal of effort on your part, but wow, it certainly pays off.
Thanks for letting me know, Rhoda…the time factor is worth it when I know it is a service to others.
So when are you making your autumn/Christmas tree? With your love for both seasons I can see you having the autumn tree and then making it over into the Christmas tree. I love the idea and if I actually holiday decorated I’d try it.
I don’t know that I will do this, Carol..but I did love the idea and that is why I shared it.
Loved the VegOut article! For some reason I did a deep dive into the interior design articles today. Lots of ideas. Plus. Now I want a suede jacket! Thanks for all.
Great articles. This is exactly how I’ve always made a Greek salad, which is, I guess, likely because I live an hour from Detroit. I can tell you it’s delicious! The sandwich would have to be modified, though it also looks delicious, because it’s over 500 calories, close to a Big Mac :)! The Dillards buying the entire mall was very, very interesting. We have a mall down the road anchored with a Dillards, Penney’s and Dicks, with a huge movie theater. The Macys there just closed. I think it’s ripe for something similar, because , while it’s slowly going downhill, it is slowly going downhill, it still has many shoppers. I seldom stop there because Talbots is about the only clothing shop there catering to people of my age group. But I would again if they could coax JJill there or get Chicos to come back. Both have stores in a suburb south of town.
Thanks so much for your Wednesday posts, I look forward to them every week. Always something interesting and informative. You certainly know what is in our minds!
You are welcome, Deborah…you made me smile.
I also found the Dillard’s purchase to be very interesting. Dillard’s has made smart decisions so far to stay afloat…unlike so many others. I do wish Chico’s or Talbot’s or both would open where I am.
We are all on the same journey, Kathleen.
My niece puts up an autumn “Christmas” tree and also one for Valentine’s Day. She has 3 children and they all participate, The Detroit Greek salad is exactly how its made in every Greek restaurant and Coney Island. I wish Dillard’s would buy the mall here. Other than Barnes & Noble, Dillard’s is the only store there I go into; two anchor stores have closed and the mall is going downhill. I enjoyed the VegOut article. I want a classic camel blazer like the one I had years ago. I look for one every year but haven’t found one that is cut right and fits well. Will keep trying. Watched the video until the AI photos started. I found the styling attractive but mostly for a more urban and sophisticated lifestyle than I have now. When I was younger and had a more active social life I would have considered a leather skirt. A small shoulder pad can make a jacket hang much better but I will say no to the big shoulders again. I didn’t adopt that trend the last time it came around. I do have a lovely Irish wool tweed cape that I think will get more wear this year. Thanks for several interesting articles.
Thanks for joining in, Kathie!
I was not able to spend the time this morning, but waiting to take time to go through all the fun articles was worth it. I adore the fall Christmas tree and would certainly try that. I went down the French Country Home rabbit hole, and enjoyed all the info there. I am only half way through the video, but thought I had better let you know again, good job. Oh, and salads, yes! I am not so much for all the brown this fall, but the wine and burgundy shades are perfect.
Thanks Diane…I can see you are busy so thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thanks again for the news post. We on vacation so I will read most of them once home, but I did read the autumn Christmas 🎄.
