90 questions for discussion.
1. If your body could speak to you, what would it say?


It would say, the exercise is great, but you need to lose some more weight. Twenty pounds was just the beginning. I keep making desserts. And we eat them.

I do chair aerobics, but need to do them more then 30 minutes at night. I'll lose more, it'll take time.

Ways I Help Others.

I do all sorts of things to help others.

1. I make dinner once a month for my friends and once a month for family members.
2. Donate to my charities.
3. Babysit my great-granddaughter every Saturday. She's almost 2. She is so cute. Hubby and I spend the entire three hours outside. She loves to be outside.
4. Help take care of my 89-year-old friend twice a week. She lives with her daughter, who still works. I love spending time with her.
5. Spend time with my grandkids for no special reason. Give them my love so they can create wonderful memories. Thats something we can all do.

Peach cream cheese cobbler

Ingredients
2 cans (20 oz each) peaches chunks or tidbits, drained (reserve ½ cup juice)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 box yellow or white cake mix
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt

Serves: 8–10

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 35–40 minutes

How to Make:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, and the reserved peach juice until smooth. Spread the drained peach chunks evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.

Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the peaches and spread it out as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top, followed by a dusting of cinnamon if you are using it. Pour the melted butter evenly over the entire surface, ensuring there are no large dry patches of cake mix.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it stand for at least 15 minutes to allow the cobbler to set. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

🧊 Storage Tip:
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, place a portion in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes to maintain the texture of the cake topping.
