Holiday Joys for Family Fun
I thought I'd add a new, periodic category for special holiday tips and resources. Today, I'm kicking it off with a delightful special deal I found – Handel's Messiah at Amazon – there are two different albums, each with 43 songs, that are currently on sale (one album for $1.99 and the other for $3.69 – though with Amazon, that sale can end at any time, so be sure to doublecheck the price). As I understand it, there are actually a few more songs then 43. But if you've been wanting to introduce yourself or your grandkids to this lovely work of musical art, this could be a great start. You can find all the links by clicking here. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy these resources and news for all of us boomers and seniors in the Sandwich Generation! These roundups are a regular part of SandwichINK, along with the tips and info I share at Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and G+, so be sure to follow me there and…
