Brain Health: Keeping your brain active

Hi PML,
Thanks for the reply. Interesting and good for the two of you to work at the puzzle together.
My husband and I played Scrabble together at least once a week and more often during the pandemic. We were both very competitive, so it was good for our brain. He passed away 20 months ago so I have increased my reading time and made some new friends. It's interesting that you read foreign newspapers online. After retirement he took German at the University and had to read Speigel, a German newspaper. Because the news articles were objectively written he read it to me and continued long after the class assignment You have inspired me to pull it up online and start reading it. I find that reading two books simultaneously is good for my mind. I try to have one that is more educational--history biography or along that line and the other can be one for enjoyment.

Hi bets38,
I'm so sorry to hear that your husband passed away 20 months ago. It sounds like you are handling your life very well; albeit alone. I'm glad I could inspire you to read Speigel again! It's also interesting to look up grocery stores in different countries online. They are sometimes hard to find. You have to remember that they are often called Markets not grocery stores.
Reading two books is challenging but good for your mind. Actually I'm reading three because my husband and I are also reading the Bible cover to cover for the third time. We read a little each morning before we get up and pray at that time too. I had forgotten how the Philistines had put gold necklaces on their camels! It's in the book of Judges.
