@shoelady60,

It is great he wants to exercise. Let him at it. I am glad he is on the road to being healthy
again. I hate Covid-19.

This should keep you both warm. I am very concerned about Flowerchild I am saying
prayers for her too. 💕😘

@taci,

Prayers are up. Be well my friend. 😘💕

Alfie
Song by Dionne Warwick

What’s it all about Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What’s it all about
When you sort it out, Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if, if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there’s a heaven above
Alfie, I know there’s something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you’ve missed
You’re nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you’ll find love any day Alfie, Alfie

I Made It Through the Rain
Song by Barry Manilow

We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
‘Cause when I chased my fears away
That’s when I knew that I could finally say
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
And made it through
I made it through

Copacabana (At the Copa)
Song by Barry Manilow

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa they fell in love
Copa, Copacabana
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, she lost her love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
like in Havana
(Copa, banana)
Music and passion were always in fashion
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it’s a disco, but not for Lola
Still in dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she’s lost her mind
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa don’t fall in love
don’t fall in love
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)

Club Sheba Weekend Edition

@sheba2011

Hi Sheba, glad you are feeling better. Headaches are no joke.🤯

Today was nice in the ‘burgh with temps in the mid 40’s and a little sun. Downhill starting tomorrow with a mixed bag of rain/snow. Colder and snow showers through the weekend. But it is January so…..to be expected.

Will try to get to mom’s tomorrow before the snow. They are busy on Saturday and I don’t want to wait until Sunday. I like to get there at least once a week while sis is here to see if they need help with anything.

Husband doing okay. He says his legs feel like cement since he hasn’t been exercising much since before Christmas. He is going to walk on the treadmill tomorrow. One day at a time.💖🌹💖

@taci

I am wishing you a safe trip. Will be thinking of you everyday and saying prayers for you, hubby and mom. Remember, you are not alone, we are all here with you.🙏🌹💗🙏

@Sheba. hello and we have a sunny lovely day here. Well, the plan, which is subject to change if things happen, is to leave tomorrow for AZ with my husband. They will let me visit because dare I say, it’s hospice. She will still be in the quarantine period so I am doubly scared. Well off I go, thanks so much for all the love and prayers and well wishes.

Have fun in the games tmorrow!

Dragon fruit is grown in Arizona, California and Florida. I am not aware of any other States growing this, unless Hawaii. As I said a few days ago it is a cactus fruit and the flowers are just as pretty as the fruit it bears. I think you will have to wait until spring or early summer to see it again. I surmise the growers think that sending it to stores in the Northeast and Midwest may be too cold for the fruit. Here, the fruit is at least $4.99/lb. Besides, it is over ripe because no one is buying it at this time.

I was going to wait on the innoculation, but will try to contact them starting today. It’s a lottery pick. We could actually be called the same day as the phone call. Hubby wants to head North about a month following the last shot. That means sometime in March. I do not think we will be returning to Florida anytime soon. It’s bad enough that we are not sure of the hotels and restaurants as we head to our other homes. Not a happy camper. I still do not feel safe. Time will tell.
