I could relate to the article "Complain Like a Pro." I had trouble with a res­ervation that a hotel unexpectedly canceled. I called and was getting nowhere, even with a confirmation number. I posted a note on Twitter with the corporate @hotelname, and within minutes, I got a direct message and a contact number. Sure enough, the issue was resolved when I called.

"One-Day Home Fixes" featuring the Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott, was a great article. My husband and I have another aging-in-place trick: motion sensor lights in our bedroom and bathroom. They illuminate our pathway and help us navigate the dark­ness for our middle-of-the-night bath­room needs. The dim lights stay on just long enough and aren't so bright as to fully awaken either of us.

I want to add to the choices in "Easy Peas-y." I have been making and taking this side dish to gatherings for years. Pour a large bagful of frozen peas into a bowl, toss in pearl onions, some Old Bay seasoning, celery salt and a bit of curry powder. Let it sit out to thaw, then add shredded cheddar cheese and a cup of mayonnaise and refrigerate. Stir well, and voilà!

I was thrilled when I saw the article "Here Comes the Bill," about cutting costs on weddings. We don't have kids, but I turn 60 this year, and my fiance is 50. We will definitely hire a wedding planner, and I've already decided that my five bridesmaids will each just wear their favorite little black dress.

I so enjoyed reading the tributes from veterans to their fellow soldiers ["The Buddy I'll Never Forget"]. I never served in the military and can't imagine the hor­rors these brave heroes endured, but it's wonderful to learn of the special bonds they formed and the friends that gave them strength and continue to do so. I am proud to donate monthly to Wounded Warrior Project to support these great Americans. Thank you to all who've served.
