Dinner Anyone? This is my Chef Curtis Stone salmon dinner tonight. His lemon garlic herb butter is all you need to complete this tasty meal. Chef Stone is on tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow with his delicious salmon. I hope you’ll join me and try it!

Glad you are finally coming out of the deep freeze. Pipes are back in order. Wondering if an electric heater would help those pipes. You don’t have to keep it on all day. Maybe an hour or two. Just a thought. Also one that has a timer.

Well, there was a knock on the door before 9am. It was our A/C tech to do his six month checkup. Then there was a tap on our window. Turned out to be our white heron looking for a hotdog. When I looked outside, he/she was on the hood of my car. Jumps up there so I could be sure to see him/her. She usually tries the lanai first. Stands at attention looking and wondering where we are. When we do not acknowledge him’/her, goes to the front and taps. You cannot say birds are not that smart.

I am still working on hubby’s closet, so the computer has not been set up as yet. The floor and shelves are done . Now working on the clothing. I cannot believe he wants to keep everything. I found a pair of white shorts that he wore many moons ago. He wants to keep it. Actually, there are tons of things that should be donated, but…….Oh, he complained he didn’t have any long-sleeved shirts. Found many. They are now all in one spot along with his rain jacket that he said he left at the Cape. I have almost half of the clothing done. I’m thinking of taking tomorrow off and take a ride or a hike somewhere. It’s a difficult process when your back doesn’t want to work with you. Just noticed we need water. A trip to Costco. Wonder if we could park in the balcony, it’s about a half mile to Costco from there. Or so it seems.

Peace Out Peeps! Enjoy your evening and stay warm and safe. 😘

Guess what I just poured about 15 minutes ago? I didn’t even know. National drink wine day is everyday!!!🍷😊🍷

When Sunny Gets Blue
Song by Barbra Streisand

When sunny gets blue
When sunny gets blue,
Her eyes get grey and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall.
Pitter, patter, pitter patter,
Love has gone so what can matter?
No sweet lover man comes to call
When sunny gets blue
She breathes the sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violins are playing
Weird and haunting melodies
People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile
That’s how she got a name
Since that sad affair
She lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she’s not the same
Memories will fade
And pretty dreams will rise
Up where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry dear
To kiss away each lonely tear
And hold me dear
’cause sunny is blue
