DITTO🤣😀

While somebody is busy decoding my expression, I’m enjoying my coffee and watching the leaves float by. 😂🍂

No mystery to solve today. Just a peaceful moment I intend to enjoy.

The crow has been briefed. He agrees.

The 5th Dimension Lyrics
“Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In”

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius
Aquarius

When the moon (when the moon) is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter (Jupiter) aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in

Let the sunshine (oh let it shine)
Let the sunshine in (come on)
The sunshine in (now, everybody, just sing along)

Let the sunshine (let the sun shine on in)
Let the sunshine in (open up your heart)
The sunshine in (and let it shine on in)

(And when you are lonely) Let the sunshine
(Hey, let it shine) Let the sunshine in
(You got to open up your heart) The sunshine in
(And let it shine on in)

(And when you feel like you’ve been mistreated) Let the sunshine
(And your friends turn their back on you) Let the sunshine in
(Just open up your heart) The sunshine in
(And let it shine on in)

(You’ve got to feel it) Let the sunshine
(You’ve got to feel it) Let the sunshine in
(Ah, open up your heart) The sunshine in
(And let it shine on in)

(Now let me tell you one thing) Let the sunshine
(I want you to sing along with the 5th Dimension) Let the sunshine in
(Hey, and open up your heart) The sunshine in
(Ah, come on)

Let the sunshine (and let it shine)
Let the sunshine in (every day)
The sunshine in

(Hey, you’ve got to feel it) Let the sunshine
(You’ve got to feel it) Let the sunshine in
(When you open up your heart) The sunshine in
(You got to let the sun come on in)

(Now I see it in the morning) Let the sunshine
(And the rain in the evening) Let the sunshine in
(Open up your heart) The sunshine in

NATIONAL PASTA DAY

Get your forks ready! October 17th is National Pasta Day, a glorious excuse to carb-load and celebrate one of the world’s most beloved foods. But why limit the fun to just one day? The entire month of October is National Pasta Month, giving you 31 days to twirl, slurp, and savor every delicious shape and sauce imaginable!

While we find noodles all over the world, pasta is a type of noodle of traditional Italian cuisine. The first reference dates to 1154 in Sicily and was first attested to in English in 1874. Typically, it is made from an unleavened dough of durum wheat flour. The flour is mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes. It can then be served fresh or dried to be stored for later use.

NATIONAL WHOLE HOG BARBECUE DAY

The third Saturday in October is National Whole Hog Barbecue Day and we invite you to indulge in one of the South’s most revered traditions. Every year, pitmasters and barbecue lovers from all over the Southeast celebrate National Whole Hog Barbecue Day coinciding with North Carolina’s historic State Fair in October.

Wood smoke and smoldering charcoal are a sign of the season. Traditionally cooked over wood and charcoal, whole-hog barbecue uses the whole pig, everything from the nose to the tail. The tradition of whole-hog barbecue started in Eastern North Carolina and dates back over 350 years to the first settlers in the region. Although barbecue lovers may disagree on the best type of barbecue sauce for their pork, everyone agrees that vinegar-based chopped whole-hog barbecue is where it all began.

NATIONAL SWEETEST DAY

National Sweetest Day is observed on the third Saturday in October by people of all ages. For over 100 years, National Sweetest Day encourages everyone to be generous even in the smallest ways.

From its inception as Candy Day in 1916, this day reminds us that even small tokens improve the lives of those around us. While the observance started with candy and sweets given to our sweethearts and friends, the day is full of lessons in persistence, resilience, and doing small things greatly.

BLACK POETRY DAY

On October 17, Black Poetry Day celebrates the powerful voices, past and present, that have shaped and enriched the American cultural landscape. This day honors the vast contributions of Black poets and commemorates the birth of the man who started it all: Jupiter Hammon, the first Black writer to be published in the United States.

Black poetry is a vital art form that captures the full spectrum of the human experience—documenting struggle, celebrating joy, challenging injustice, and exploring identity. This day encourages us to listen to these essential voices and recognize their profound impact on literature and society.

NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY

National Mulligan Day is observed annually on October 17 to offer an opportunity for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over.”

In golf, a mulligan happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a specific move or action.

NATIONAL EDGE DAY

On October 17th, National Edge Day celebrates a conscious choice and a vibrant youth movement: the commitment to living free from alcohol, tobacco, and recreational drugs. It is a day to empower and support those who embrace a “Straight Edge” lifestyle, finding fulfillment and excitement on their own terms.

Blooming in Life’s Dilemma
Sometimes, life is not about how tightly we hold on, but about when we must wisely choose between enduring or letting go. Like a flower that willingly releases its petals for new buds to grow, there is beauty in every surrender, and there is extraordinary strength in every boundless patience.

@oodiebom,

Enjoy your day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈

I have a lot going on today I hope you are cool. 🎈

@sheba2011

I saw hubs today and I was forewarned that he was coughing up a storm. When I arrived, I was appalled on how filthy his room was. There was food under the bed, the side of the bed. The tray table was lopsided, but according to the Aide, nothing wrong. Hmm….The receptionist remarked that the virus that started about a month ago was making its rounds again. Meanwhile, the A/C wasn’t working and it was quite warm and muggy. I wonder when was the last time that the vents had a good cleaning. I was not at all happy and since no one was around, guess I will make an early stop on Monday and voice my concerns. I now wonder if the virus is actually a sinus reaction. Not good.

It rained most of the day with temps in the mid 70s to low 80s. The plants are happy. Tonights temp will be the low to mid 60s. You may say that Fall is in the air. But knowing how the weather changes in Florida, I surmise this will be short lived. There is still some humidity, but no where the way it was. This is manageable. Tomorrow I will get things ready for garbage Monday including the recyclables.

I hope your niece will have time to enjoy her new home and to be settle before hubby returns. A new, exciting life awaits. Take care and have an enjoyable evening.

@taci,

Good day in S. California I am off and on today due to things beyond my control. LOL!
Taci if you hear anything on the picture let me know you are right it is not always the amount
of value but the backstory can be very interesting. 😎💕

Oz is alright today but back to cold tomorrow. 😎

I will be calling my niece as this is her move in day on the Base there. 😎💕

Sheba, will do with the picture. I have some e-mails out to places for information to the back story. We shall see if there is any information to come my way.
One of the bases in SD has a fire still going on the premises. It’s still hot and arid here.

Hope your niece likes her new place. Hopefully it’s exciting for her.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burb miss ya. Just do what ever it is you need to do. 😎💕🎈

Sending healing vibes to you and Jake. 😎💕

“It takes five years to recover from breast cancer. Five years. Because cancer recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. The surgeries. Chemo. Radiation. Medications. Medical menopause. Neuropathy. Lymphedema. Pain. Fatigue. Brain fog. The fear that can come rushing back when something in your body doesn’t feel right or it’s scan time. It ALL takes a toll. Many think that once active treatment ends we should be able to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and get back to “normal.” But there is no going back. There is only rebuilding. Relearning the body. Rebuilding strength. Learning to love a body that has carried us through so much. And maybe we’ve been expecting too much from ourselves too soon. So please give cancer survivors grace. Just because our hair grew back, we returned to work, started traveling, dancing, laughing and looking more like ourselves again doesn’t mean we feel the way we did before cancer. We can be incredibly grateful to be alive and still be exhausted by what it took to stay here. Both can be true.” A breast cancer survivor.

NATIONAL BOSS’S DAY

National Boss’s Day is celebrated during the 16th of October. However, if October 16th falls on a weekend, then this day is celebrated on the closest working day.

DEPARTMENT STORE DAY

From their rise in the 19th century, department stores were more than just places to buy goods; they were destinations. They offered a safe, clean, and elegant environment where a growing middle class could browse a vast world of products under one magnificent roof. Founders like Marshall Field, John Wanamaker, and Harry Gordon Selfridge weren’t just merchants; they were showmen who understood that shopping should be an event.

NATIONAL SPORTS DAY

While golfers hit the links to get at least nine more holes before the snow flies, hoopsters gear up for the season ahead. The puck hits center ice early in October, while baseball aims for the bleachers and clears the bases.

NATIONAL DICTIONARY DAY

National Dictionary Day on October 16 defines celebration as it commemorates the birthday of Noah Webster and emphasizes the importance of learning while using dictionary skills and increasing one’s vocabulary.

NATIONAL LIQUEUR DAY

So, what exactly is a liqueur? The word itself comes from the Latin liquifacere, meaning “to liquefy.” In essence, a liqueur is an alcoholic beverage that starts with a distilled spirit (like vodka, rum, or whiskey) that is then flavored with ingredients such as fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers, or nuts. Sugar or another sweetener is added, giving most liqueurs their characteristically sweet profile and often syrupy consistency.

“Cancer changes you forever.” Actress Jaclyn Smith knows firsthand how a breast cancer diagnosis can change your perspective on life. Diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer after a routine mammogram, Jaclyn initially reacted with fear. Her first thought was of her children and whether she would be there to watch them grow up. She wanted an immediate mastectomy. But after taking time to understand her diagnosis and treatment options, she chose a lumpectomy followed by radiation. More than two decades later, Jaclyn continues to share the lessons she learned from her experience. Initially, she wanted to keep her diagnosis private. But when the news became public, she discovered something unexpected: the comfort and strength that came from allowing others to support her. She also became an advocate for mammograms, early detection, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who offer encouragement and understanding. One of her messages particularly resonates: “Go on a limb. That’s where the first fruit is. Educate yourself. Surround yourself with positive people and knowledge.” Jaclyn’s story is a reminder that a cancer diagnosis can bring fear and uncertainty, but knowledge, informed treatment decisions, and a strong support system can make an enormous difference. And her reflections on life after cancer offer another important message: “Having cancer does make you try to be better at everything you do and enjoy every moment. It changes you forever. But it can be a positive change.”

♥ this!

Peace didn’t arrive in my life because everything around me changed.

It arrived the day I stopped believing I had to carry what never belonged to me.

Haven reminds us that boundaries aren’t walls built out of anger. They’re quiet acts of self-respect. They make room for healing, honest relationships, and the kind of peace that doesn’t disappear every time someone else is unhappy.

You don’t have to explain every boundary you set.

The people who truly love you will learn to meet you there.

Pain has a way of convincing us that it arrived empty-handed.

But if we stay the course—if we refuse to let bitterness write the ending—it quietly leaves something behind. A little more compassion. A little more wisdom. A little more faith.

Liora reminds us that the deepest growth often begins where the deepest wounds once lived.

The gift isn’t always found in the pain itself. Sometimes it’s found in the person you become because you chose to keep believing.

“Pain will always bear a gift when you are driven by faith.”

Life has taught me that every season has a purpose. Some moments call us to speak, and others remind us to simply be still and listen.

I’ve found that wisdom often arrives in the quiet.

Strawberry Letter 23
Song by The Brothers Johnson

Hello, my love, I heard a kiss from you🎶🎶
Red magic satin playing near too
All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn’t shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind
In the garden, I see
West purple shower bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins
Dressed in green
Pretty music, I hear
So happy and loud
Blue flowers echo
From a cherry cloud
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
If you try to ask
“Is it cool?” (is it cool)
If you arrive and don’t see me
I’m going to be with my baby
I’m free, flying in her arms
Over the sea
Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kites
With velvet roses diggin’
Freedom flight
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty-two
The music plays
I sit in for a few
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
A present from you
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays
I sit in for a few
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie glad you are feeling better.
We do have temps in the 30’s and it’s better than having full blown snow
I think that honor goes to Montana and it is snowing like cray cray there.

I am covering my plants and flowers this is a two day freeze starting tomorrow and
than we are back in the 60’s and 50’s Mother Nature does what she wants to do. 😎

Sis is fixing healthy meals for her and no one knows more about Chemo than my sister.
This is just round one of four so my family are in for a ride.

Enjoy your visit with hubby and I hope he will be home soon. 🎈

I will be turning the fireplace on this evening. 😎 The A/C was on last week oh well tis the season.

@taci,

Good day in S. California and may this day find you doing well. Taci your hands
are full like everyone else here. 🎈😎

I am very curious about the picture this is a hobby of mine. I like things that are
old and interesting. 💕

There is always a story behind it.

Oz is a bit chilly today but tomorrow we will be down right cold. 😎

Sheba, Oh, how I wish we had your freeze. We have hot windy weather and fires are a concern and some areas have fires already.
I Like your hobby with Art. The print/picture is very interesting. The original was painted on a wall in a chapel in Italy. Apparently it was plastered over, and the place turned into a prison. The picture/print is probably not that valuable but its history may be more interesting.
Have a good evening!

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Miss you much. 😎💕🎈Feel better soon.

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 😎🎈

I just can’t get you out of my head
Boy, its more than I dare to think about
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I just can’t get you out of my head
Boy, your lovin’ is all I think about
I just can’t get you out of my head
Boy, its more than I dare to think about
Every night
Every day
Just to be there in your arms
Won’t you stay
Won’t you lay
Stay forever and ever, and ever, and ever

I just can’t get you out of my head
Boy, its more than I dare to think about
There’s a dark secret in me
Don’t leave me locked in your heart
Set me free
Feel the need in me
Set me free
Stay forever and ever, and ever, and ever

@oodiebom,

Good Day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎Oz is raining and will rain all day. I have no
problem with that.

My sister landed in GA from Colorado to be with her daughter. My niece is still having
issues with the Chemo I know in time it will get easier. The family is taking turns being
with her. How can a young woman in her 30’s get this awful disease I would not wish
on anyone. I went through it and you have good and bad days. That’s Life!

I don’t want to burden you with my family health problems we are good. 🎈

I want your husband to come home and that’s enough for you to deal with.
Let me know how it goes for you today. 😎

@sheba2011

Having some issues with hives and eczema. The sinus meds are a big help, but it does make you sleepy and driving a hazard. Consequently, did not see hubs. I surmise this being sinus season, the reason why everything is happening all at once. Best part, this too shall pass.

Your sister making it to Georgia from Colorado will be a huge help with your niece’s recovery. At least she is now in better hands. I hope she is drinking a lot of liquids. From what I understand, it is the best way to rid the body of the chemo.

We are again in a dry spell. The drought will get worse. However, I hope we can snag some rain next month and through December. Our next period of rain won’t be until the end of winter. I used the hose on the container plants. All plants in the front of the house are no longer around.
I ordered some plants from Amazon and they are doing OK. I will give them a good watering tomorrow. Friday is the only day to do this. Our temps during the day have been in the mid 80s to 90 something. Yes, we still have that awful “H” word, humidity. The A/C at the rehab is not in good working order. I could not wait to get into the car and enjoy some A/C.. I just hope they find a good technician who knows what they are doing. I am also surprised that the maintenance people do not clean the vents or do a thorough cleaning of every room which would include the dressers and closets. This was done on a regular basis in Savannah when hubs was in rehab.

Here is to a better tomorrow. Enjoy your evening and a walk with Poppy and hubby. Geez, 30 degrees in October…..Unheard of.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈Niece is getting ready for her move to the Military
Base I am so happy for her. 💕😎

Taci her husband is still overseas on active duty.

I know you are moving things be sure to look a little closer. 💕

Enjoy the trails.

Sheba, Hello! Interesting what you said about your voice. It’s hard to know how we sound to others. I am always told I speak very softly, but in my head my voice is loud. I don’t understand why. Recently my hairdresser said the same thing. Why does my hubs always say I’m yelling then 🙂 Maybe he’s special!
Hubs heard a Coyote pack being very loud around 4am as for me, well, I slept through it. They are all over all times of the day and night now. I know they have rounds and generally go through my area after dark. The Neighbor has an apple tree out front that they like for snacks.
As for one of the pictures, I’m waiting to hear back about it.
Sorry your niece is having some issues with the chemo. I’m sure she is getting monitored for it and wish her the best.

@taci,

Good Evening my sister her mother is there with her she landed from Colorado this
morning and niece is doing fine. Everything is day to day this was her first round of
Chemo and it’s no joke as she said. Niece plans on going to her students on Monday. 💕
Niece told me next round of Chemo she is taking a week off.

I love the Banger Sisters and I have this on Blu Ray which mean I can watch it straight
through. 😎

Here is to a nice night. OZ will be in the 30’s tomorrow morning. YIKES!

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈💕I miss you so much. Be well that’s all I want.

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 🎈😎

Peace Out Peeps have a great evening and keep cool. 😎

Flowers
Song by Miley Cyrus

We were good, we were gold 🎶🎶
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right ’til we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
Ooh, I didn’t wanna leave you, baby
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
Oh, I
I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (oh)
Write my name in the sand (mm)
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (you never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand

Can love me better
I can love me better (than you can), baby

@yellow-rose14

Good day and thank you for the sweet post. 😎🎈I have done 100’s of threads here

I do like what I do I hope you are enjoying the Fall Season. I love it. 💕

When Life Blooms Again Life does not have to be beautiful from the beginning. Sometimes, we must walk through pain, loss, and silence before we understand why we were asked to keep going.

Enjoy what you do. 💕

Pieces of Me
Song by Ashlee Simpson

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can’t sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
‘Cause you’ve come to rescue me
Fall, with you I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath
I hope it lasts
Oh, it seems like I can finally
Rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Oh, it’s as if you know me better
Than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
I am moody and messy
I get restless and it’s senseless
How you never seem to care
When I’m angry, you listen
Make me happy, it’s your mission
And you won’t stop ’til I’m there
Fall, sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom crash
You’re all I have
Oh, it seems like I can finally
Rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Oh, it’s as if you know me better
Than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
How do you know?
Everything I’m about to say
Am I that obvious?
And if it’s written on my face
I hope it never goes away
Yeah
On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading
Into your arms
So I can breathe
Oh, it seems like I can finally
Rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Oh, it’s as if you know me better
Than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Oh, I love how you can tell
Oh, I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

This is Oz today. 😎🎈💕

We cannot always change what someone is going through, but we can be thoughtful about what we bring into their day. A gentle word, a listening ear, or a little encouragement may help them find the strength to keep going.

There is still room for hope, even in uncertain times. Let’s keep a little light for one another. 🕯️🍂

Good morning. We do not need every answer before taking the next step. Sometimes faith is simply choosing peace, kindness, and courage while the road is still unfolding. May we begin this Monday with good intentions and allow our actions to bear good fruit.

How often have we said yes, then wondered where we would find the time or energy to follow through?

“I need a little time to think about it” is an answer we are allowed to give. 🍂

Pay attention to how your spirit feels after certain conversations, relationships, and environments. Peace has a rhythm, and your body often recognizes the wrong frequency before your mind is ready to accept it. You do not have to silence yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. Protect your song and choose what allows you to remain in tune with who you truly are.

A second chance can be offered from a place of compassion, but it should never cost us our dignity, peace, or sense of self. Odessa reminds us that we can share our light without draining the lantern that sustains us. Protecting what is sacred within you is not selfish—it is an acknowledgment of your worth.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎 Welcome to the New Thread. I hope you
and hubby are doing well.

Let me know how things are going when you have time.

iI think the last time I said hello was Monday. Tuesday, while in the shower, I reached for the shampoo and doing so, twisted the wrong way. Pain in my knee and side excruciating. Staying in bed helped. Yesterday I had problems with the computer, landline and cell. After nine hours trying everying, finally gave in and contacted Spectrum. They are in the midst of updating their internet, and that was the reason why nothing worked as it should. I unplugged everything and went to bed early. Today I was supposed to have a beauty appointment. I arrived 15 minutes early and was told that it was cancelled due to illness. That was the third and final thing, I hope. I will be contacted with a new appointment. At least that’s the plan.

I know you have labs this week and I have no doubt that everything will be 100% and then some. Our Lessman vitamins sure help and I am not saying this lightly. I am finding that the Immune ones are fantastic. I am wondering if that is the reason my back and knee are beginning to feel better.

I did see hubs today. He was half on and half off the bed. Best part. He was able to move on his own. However, he did start coughing again. Wonder if the grapes I brought didn’t help the situation. I stopped. This is a learning thing for me and I hope I won’t be hindering anything when he comes home. This is a huge question and it’s very scary. Yes, I will have help. I’m hoping it will be the right ones.

Very nice comments with your pictures and posts. I absolutely enjoy your artistry.

Hope your niece is feeling better. So thankful that the “C: was in it’s early stages. I wish only the best for her full recovery and then some.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening I am sorry to hear that you had an incident in the shower. I am glad you
are doing alright yeah bed rest helps. So glad you were able to see your husband. 💕

Please have some help with hubby when he gets home. I know you will cover every
person that applies and have them checked out. 😎

Oodie thank you for asking about my niece her first Chemo knocked her out and she
was in bed today the Chemo was on Friday. Niece said chemo is no joke! My sister
her mother will be there in the morning she is flying from Colorado to GA. My sister
whom you know is a cancer survivor herself and still having treatments after all these
years is bringing everything she needs and she has energy I envy so we have lots of family
there in GA so many hands are on Deck. My sister use to live in GA so she also have friends
there. 🎈 This has been a tough year for my family but we are still moving. 💕

Oodie thank you for your comments on the new thread I am glad you like it. 😎🎈
I hope you get some good rest tonight and I am really glad you have your internet.
Oz had a very loud and long thunderstorm last night. I went to bed and let mother nature
do her thing the animals were all taken care of. 💕

Sleep well and everything will turn out alright. 😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and welcome to the new Thread. I had to change it
because funny things happen to it if I go too long. I have had enough material
for 100 threads LOL! 😎I have done hundreds of other threads on HSN. 💕

Taci your post from yesterday was so interesting. The picture and frame are fascinating.
I bet there is a great story behind it. 💕

I think it is very nice of you to donate to Military Families thank you. 🎈

Oz had a thunder storm last night I had to log off quick. I now have a second yellow
flower that came during the night in the storm I am taking pictures as receipts I want
to show this to my family. 💕 I made sure all the cats were fed even the possum.

I always take a can of fresh food to Kitty Kitty the little black cat I have had for over three years.
Miss Kitty scared him off but he showed me where he lives and it’s in my friends backyard
under evergreens and he has been going there for years at night. 💕All of the animals know
my voice I have a unusual voice been told that my whole life. Vert soft and clear. 💕
Kids in grade school use to ask why do I sound like that I did not know what to say so I
said this is how I talk. My own family even ask why I sound the way I do. Go figure.

Keep looking at your mother’s things I always liked her taste. 💕Taci to me it would be an
adventure you never know what you may find.😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎💕🎈Still missing you. Welcome to the new thread
if you can see this.

Sending Cool Breezes to you and Jake. 🎈💕
