AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

I try to do crossword puzzles with my elderly, wheelchair, & home bound mother that I help care for.  My father would smile & laugh when I would happily shouted if my mother got a crossword puzzle question correct.  It has been the hardest job in my life caring for my 86 year old mother & 92 year old father (he passed away from complications from a 7 year fight with dementia...just 2 days after his 92nd birthday).  You have to appreciate the happiness in a day...

I read every day, play scrabble and bananagrams with my granddaughters.  I also love puzzles!

Hi Everyone!

I'm a student always, meaning I learn something(s) new everyday! I love to listen, read, and learn! I love to get quiet and meditate! I love to read the Bible and other books! I love to watch educational and informative videos that enhance and stimulate my brain! I fell out of the shower and landed on my back, over 3 years ago, and I'm walking and stretching everyday to the best of my capability to get my full mobility and functionality back! I do something everyday, as a 56 year young, African American, female, to build up and preserve my spirit, mind, body, and soul! I love everything and more that AARP offers to contribute to my life and others! Love & Blessings!

Thank you!

I love completing the CryptoQuote daily in my newspaper!

1. I walk everyday! I play Wordle, games in AARP, read books, socialize with friends and family and try to maintain a positive attitude and outlook, 

I watch 25 Words or Less most mornings, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune in the evenings, play a variety of games from matching to merging and more, read, often talk to the dog, and do chores while listening to music or whatever is on TV at the time. 

I watch Password, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and complete the AARP reward points quizzes.

Also I have a daily reading habit—at least a half an hour a day. 🙂

I teach special education from 1st through 4th grade. I also play word cookies, and match pair 3D.

As a writer and musician, my brain is usually pretty busy writing, playing/singing or preparing to. I haven't done any readings or performances since the pandemic onset, so I augment by reading to learn and for pleasure, keeping up with friends, family, interests online, and utilizing the many AARP website offerings to educate, entertain, enlighten & inspire.
