Let the Games Begin!
By: Liz Palmer / NSG
The registration for the
2021 Nevada Senior
Games is now open. We
have sports, we have venues, we have dates and
times, we have eager volunteers - all we need are
athletes, which means YOU!
Do you have an urge to play pickleball? How about a social game of
bocce? Tennis, anyone? Or you can get into the swim of things by entering
our swimming competition.
Track and Field lets you walk,
run, jump, and throw with your
peers. How about bowling, dance,
archery, pistol shoot, powerlifting,
racquetball, or shuffleboard?
We have something for everyone’s
taste, and it’s all with other seniors
ages 50+ who are ready to enjoy
Fitness For The Fun Of It!
Come find out what all the
excitement is about. Go on our website nevadaseniorgames.com to see
all the sports that are scheduled for September and October.
We’d love to have you! You’ll take home a NSG t-shirt, lots of
memories, new friendships, and maybe even a gold, silver, or bronze
medal.
Email us with any questions – nevadaseniorgames@outlook.com.
I look forward to welcoming you to the premier senior multi-sports

Preventing Sibling Rivalry
By: Pat Alexander / Art of Entertaining
have two sisters. Over the years, it’s as if an
I elastic band pulls us away from each other
for a short while and then pulls us back together.
We laugh together, we argue together, have similar viewpoints on
some things and are totally polarized on others. We play, we shop, we
dine, and we talk, and, wow, do we talk.
Because of, or despite this, we are extremely close, and I am so
fortunate to have them in my day to day life.
Since I am the middle child, I like keeping everything even. (I don’t
believe in favoritism unless, of course, the favorite is me.) So, since last
month I gave you a recipe from one of my sisters, to prevent a case of
sibling rivalry, this month I’m giving you a recipe from my other sister.
Walnut Tarts are my special Christmas treat. Christmas in April, you
say? Unfortunately, I can’t think of any recipe she makes that says
“April”, and this is my favorite, so here it is.
When my sister makes these, she always makes extra for me. She
started baking them as a young wife many years ago and they’ve been
an absolute family favorite ever since.
I can certainly bake them, but it’s not the same. That’s something
I’ve never understood. No matter how good a cook one is, why does
a person’s signature dish just taste better when that person makes it?
If you know, tell me why (also the words of a favorite old song).
Anyway, here’s the recipe. Walnut Tarts, a taste of glory!
Arline’s Walnut Tarts
Soften 3 ounces cream cheese and 4 ounces butter with one cup flour.
Mix well into large ball. Form into 24 small balls, refrigerate one hour.
Meanwhile, mix one cup packed dark brown sugar, one cup chopped
walnuts, one tsp. vanilla, one tsp. butter and one egg. Press balls on
bottom and sides of greased mini tart pans to form a shell. Fill shells
with sugar mixture until ¾ full. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
When cool sprinkle with confectionary sugar. Makes 24.
