Dear Oodiebom have a safe trip you and your hubby. 😘😘😘

@oodiebom

Please know that I will be thinking of you everyday and wondering how it is all going. Just take your time and be safe. Enjoy your few days of R & R as I know you will be getting down and dirty at the other homes. And if you get lost, just follow the north star, lol! I will be anxious to hear all about the trip. Sending halos and rainbows on every highway and bi-way.😇🌈💗

Finally getting everything in place. So I know what you are going through. However, I need to finish everything by tomorrow so we can load the car and be off on Monday. It will really be nice to sleep with the windows opened. I cannot do this in Florida because the Geckos can crawl through any opening no matter how small. Tomorrow it’s Sam’s Club for the necessities for the two homes North. Plastic garbage bags by the roll. It’s too bad they closed their two warehouses in Rhode Island. We used to stop at both on the way to the Cape. C’est la Vie, I guess.

We have electrical and plumbing issues which will be taken care of when we return. Meanwhile, I will enjoy our mini vacation when we arrive in Lancaster for a few days of R&R. I will not be posting for awhile. Do not dare use the laptop in the hotel rooms and when we arrive at our frist destination will need to sign up as a new member with Xfinity just to get Wifi. It is so much easier in Florida. They put you on seasonal for up to 9 months. And the cost is $5/mo. . You also get to keep your own wifi and get this, they set it up for you.

Enjoy the cool weather. Say hi to Jake’s picture for me also. My neighbor on Cape had two labs. One black and the other long haired tan. But my favorite was Big Ben who found a way to unlock the gate and come over to our home for treats. I cannot fathom that home without the labs. It’s been a few months now and she is talking about adopting another one.

Take care of yourself and please stay safe. We are also thinking about cruising again. Definitely not this year, next year still questionable. We shall see.

Last of the laundry coming up. Working on MB. Have not been feeling that well for the last two days. Ok now. Think I got a 48 hr. bug. Or it could be from the heat and humidity. Not to worry, water bottle is wherever we go.

Between Jay King and Connie I am going bonkers. I love Amazonite and of course Jay’s pieces, But cannot purchase at this time. Must wait until we reach the first house to make a decision as to whether we stay or go on to the Cape to check that everything is OK. My theory has always been to put the things I love into favorites and then hope for the best. I did that for HD.

I will let everyone know tonight that we will be on the road. Our Wifi will not be up and running until we drive to an Xfinity location wherever that may be. They laid many of their people off during the pandemic in order to close offices. They want, from what I hear, a satellite store in a mall.

See you later. Enjoying the Gifs from the “Wizard”

Taking a break from painting with my husband.🧹 Trying to get the laundry room done today and tomorrow so I can start moving items back in on Sunday. Then it will be top to bottom cleaning. Not sure if I will see mom and sis this weekend.🙄

Weather is beautiful today. Nice to have the windows open and it will be good for sleeping.😴 Nothing planned except working on the house. That is enough!😣

I agree 100%!!!🐶👠

Judy Garland
“Over The Rainbow”

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?

More Kindness Always

Being fully present in each moment of your life facilitates kindness, as it increases your awareness of the people around you.

In the quest to create a gentler, more loving world, kindness is the easiest tool we can use. Though it is easy to overlook opportunities to be kind, our lives are replete with situations in which we can be helpful, considerate, thoughtful, and friendly to loved ones and associates, as well as strangers. The touching, selfless acts of kindness that have the most profoundly uplifting effects are often the simplest: a word of praise, a gentle touch, a helping hand, a gesture of courtesy, or a smile. Such small kindnesses represent an unconditional, unrestricted form of love that we are free to give or withhold at will. When you give the gift of kindness, whether in the form of assistance, concern, or friendliness, your actions create a beacon of happiness and hope that warms people’s hearts.

The components of kindness are compassion, respect, and generosity. Put simply, kindness is the conscious act of engaging others in a positive way without asking whether those individuals deserve to be treated kindly. All living beings thrive on kindness. A single, sincere compliment can turn a person’s entire world around. Holding a door or thanking someone who has held a door for you can inspire others to practice politeness and make already kind individuals feel good about their efforts. Smiling at people you meet — even those who make you feel like frowning — can turn a dreary encounter into a delightful one, for both of you. Every kind act has a positive influence on the individual who has performed said act as well as on the recipient, regardless of whether the act is acknowledged. Kindness brings about more kindness and slowly but surely takes a positive toll on humanity.

Weaving the thread of kindness into your everyday life can be as easy as choosing to offer a hearty “Good morning” and “Good night” to your coworkers or neighbors, a stranger on the street, or the grocery store clerk. When you commit a kind act, you are momentarily disconnected from your ego and bonded with the individual who has benefited from your kindness. Being fully present in each moment of your life facilitates kindness as it increases your awareness of the people around you. You’ll discover that each act of kindness you engage in makes the world, in some small way, a better place. 💕😎

Well I guess it depends on the day…..🤣
