Somewhere
Song by Barbra Streisand

Someday, somewhere
We’ll find a new way of living
We’ll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There’s a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There’s a time for us
Someday there’ll time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn and time to care
Someday, somewhere
We’ll find a new way of living
We’ll find there’s a way of forgiving
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
There’s a place for us, a time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we’re half way there
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere

You are funny. However, guess we are both on the same path. I stopped purchasing last week. That is, until Andrew. I did add the Healthy Hair and that should be arriving in a day or two. And next week there is a sale at Amazon which I enjoy watching. If there is anything I need or cannot live without I will send to the Cape. At least there I can give my neighbor a head’s up. However, Amazon is offering next day delivery and if not, two days is all I need. LOL I ordered 3 items from Walmart. Received one of the three. The number 2 item was delivered to the mailbox and right now is no where to be found. Either it went back to the post office to be delivered to my front door or it was picked up by someone else. The 3rd item is not in stock at this time. So I am waiting to see if Walmart was able to do a reorder. The last one is most important. It’s anti freeze. Yes, I know we won’t have frozen pipes in the near future. Yes, I know our winters are mild. We learned from our neighbors that it is imperative to put it down everything where there is water. This is so we won’t have critters that slither or the ones that look for cheese. The smell of the anti freeze should keep those slithery snakes away and the water rats as well. I hope………..I get the shivers just thinking about it.

@oodiebom,

I am so sorry for your loss. I do not like saying this but my BIL lost 40 pounds in one week
and is having Chemotherapy as we speak in Maryland.

May your family member RIP. 🌹 Oodie stay cool you and your husband. Thank you for thinking of my girls
they had a great time.

Tomorrow is your father’s birthday may he RIP! This will be my first Father’s Day without
my father. I love him with every fiber of my being. This too shall pass.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. This cousin was a smart individual but had health issues from the time he was quite young.. Just feel so sorry that he never was able to really enjoy life and do the things that we take for granted.

I actually took yesterday and today off from working. Will continue tomorrow sometime. We will be making a trip to Costco to look at the indoor fans for our laundry room here and then for our home North. There are a couple of rooms that have the screens on the inside and you use a crank to open the windows. Our A/C will not work, so this is the next best alternative.

Eating out last year was impossible. All the restaurants in our area were closed as were the hotels. We sometimes enjoyed having breakfast out, but there was no place to go until recently. This was also the reason we didn’t head North sooner. I am still apprehensive dealing with staying at various hotels/motels and eating out. Because of my food allergies we do not stop at the fast food areas. We are lucky though, that a brand new Costco opened and we will probably make a stop for gas and food if the construction does not interfere with the timing.
The route we take is very scenic. However, we cross our fingers that the weather holds since we will have a downward and curvy Interstate through the Carolinas and Virginia as well as dense fog. That occurred on our last trip heading South. Trust me when I say we could not see anything in front of us. I think we crawled at 5 mph. Both of us were scared out of our minds. Therefore we are keeping an eye on the weather patterns.

Love hearing about your family outings. What’s in store for Friday: Oops, that’s tomorrow already. YIKES !!!

@taci

Thanks for the condolenses. He is in a much better place and hopefully in better health than he was on earth. Sadly, we will not be attending the funeral. It’s just too close to the time when we do leave and head North. His brother is looking at using Zoom for the out of towners.

Taci, I just heard that CA. will be in triple digits or close to it. In Florida, we see that during the summer months along with the high humidity. Last year was our first summer in Florida because of the pandemic and returning home to the North was out of the question because of the closures of restaurants and hotels in our path. Our A/C people were here in July and made us turn the thermostat up to 76/78 degrees. I actually balked at this. In the North we put the temp down to 65 during the day and at night 62. But I was told if I didn’t, we could be looking at a $400 bill each month. So, I listened. I set the temp to 78 and put the fans on just to circulate the air. Believe it or not, the house felt cool when we left and when we returned as well. During the night I leave the temp at 74. Could not believe the bill for each month. It was two figures even with the fan.

Going out last night for take out was a bit scary. But the food, 5 stars. And best of all, we are still enjoying the left overs today. Hopefully, we will find some outdoor places to enjoy while on route. If not, take-out.

@oodiebom

🙌🙏 for you, your cousin, your dad and family.

Glad you enjoyed your meal. You took that first step and it was worth it. No way could I have lasted as long as you cooking every day, lol! We did a lot of takeout last year. It made me feel good trying to help some of the businesses stay afloat. Many menus were limited but still good.

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. We had a very nice time at the winery. The weather was perfect, sunny, in the mid 70’s and a tiny breeze.😊 But I definitely ate too much, paying for it today.😣 They have a fountain near the entrance so we took some nice photos with the family.

Did some cleaning today but not too much since the drywall man will be here next week so it will get filthy again. This weekend will be cleaning off the shelves so he has room to work. Other than my kitchen, that is my main pantry/storage in the house so there is a ton of stuff. I hope I will be finished putting it all back by Christmas!!😮

I may sit out on the deck this evening with a book. The weather is just so gorgeous to be inside.🌞 I hope your heat wave is gone soon so you and Poppy can enjoy your walks.

Oodie, Glad you and hubs enjoyed the take out! Sounds delicious.
My condolences to you about your cousin.
It’s hard to be out of town when these things are going on and Covid doesn’t help.

Take care.

@sheba2011

Last night we did a first for us in over a year and a half. We ordered take out from a new Asian place. The food absolutely delicious. We even used chopsticks. Forgot the tea. We have plenty loose tea leaves and just forgot to make it. Trust me when I say we have enough to last our lifetime as well as for you and your kids.

Some sad news to report. My cousin passed away last night. Family is working on the funeral which looks like it will be Monday or Tuesday at 1pm. Most of the family now live out of state. I think hubby and I are the furthest away, though there may be a few in California. He’s checking to see if he can use zoom for the service where we can all interact. That would work for us and all the out of towners. This cousin has had tons of health issues from the time he was a child. Because of Covid he absolutely refused to see his physician even when he knew something was wrong last year. He lived not even a month following surgery. Never returned to his apartment and his cat which I offered to take sight unseen. But I think his brother already brought him to the humane society even though there may be others in the apartment building who would want him/her.

I hope your daughter and niece had a special day on their birthday. I could tell you were having fun with the birthday wishes.

Tomorrow is Trivia. It would have also been my dad’s birthday, may he RIP. He passed five days following his birthday and two weeks prior to their 43rd anniversary. Yes, I still miss him and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. Just a bit easier, though there are times when it isn’t.

I think I will now try for a hair appointment for next week. Have a great day. Stay safe.
