Autumn Leaves
Song by Nat King Cole

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Well, I wrote you a note yesterday and then it went “poofed.” It’s out in cyberspace somewhere.

We did meet with the contractor yesterday morning. In fact, he was a half hour early. The one thing I noticed is that he was honest. He will only do the part of the roof that is needed, the rest is in great shape. As far as the structure goes, the lanai will be completely redone from top to bottom. The walls in the den he is unsure of. His explanation is that they look good now and seem to be OK, but the icing on the cake will be when they remove the entire roof and can look down. The walls may not be hold the roof and therefore it will be a total thing. He mentioned that I should add it to the list just in case. The windows which are a single pane, add those as well and said please include the new loveseat I asked, if I like the estimate when will they be able to start. It would be at least 6 weeks. Guess we won’t be heading North nytime soon.

I ended up making a stir fry last night with rice. I made the rice from scratch. For the stir fry I used baby carrots which I cut up, garlic (4 cloves), red cabbage shredded, sirloin which I cut into cubes,. I sauteed these in a wok and when just about done added the cook rice with bok choy and scallions. Also fresh pineapple rings which I made into cubes. The vegetables and pineapple were still crunchy. Oh, I forgot. I used some chicken broth as a base (about a 1/4 of a cup to start along with olive oil. Hubby is enjoying the left over as I type.

I will start Trivia off tonight. Just not sure if I will be able to stay. I had an episode yesterday afternoon with a huge sinus attack. By huge I mean my throat was very itchy and started to close. I was able to down a couple of Benedryls along with my usual sinus meds. It calmed the allergy and thankfully, hubby didn’t have to contact anyone. I will be asking for an epipen when I see the physician. Have no idea what caused it. May have been something outside. Definitely not anything I ate.

Your salad for tonight sounds delicious. I think I will make salmon salad. You made me hungry. See you in a couple.

Hello Sheba, we are at 81 degrees and wind gusts of 10 miles, it’s very breeze.
A chicken salad sounds good to me, add a cup of hot soup to warm up it’s a good thing.
It’s Friday already. I decided to make some bread. The dough is raising now. I took a small break to leave a note.
See you in Trivia Tonight Sheba.❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🍁🍁🍁🍁

Good Friday afternoon to you. Ran around to a number of stores this morning so now I am tired out.🥱 My knees told me to take it easy the rest of the day.🦵 Like you, I am making some chicken with mushrooms for dinner.🐓🍄

Can’t believe our weather, it is warmer here than in Vegas, LA and Phoenix.🌞😎 No complaints from me. I’m not a fan of changing the clocks, I feel like the day is over at 5:30 and no more relaxing on the deck. Can’t believe you may have snow flurries.❄

My nephew and the family are coming here from Ohio for the day a week from Sunday so that should be nice.😊 Hooking up with my other nephew who lives here so we can all see his new baby👶 and having dinner at a nice restaurant. We offered him hockey tickets the end of January so he and his wife may be back then if the weather is okay.

Have a great evening, sending hugs to you, Poppy and Charlie.🤗🥰

Entering into Partnership
In partnership and relationship, we harness the power of union.
The purpose of partnership is to create something greater than we can create alone. Not because of any deficiency or incompleteness in us, but because each of us is unique, with our own talents and abilities, and in partnership we increase the efforts and talents available for creating something meaningful together. All partnerships, whether romantic, creative, or professionally-based, can be powerful relationships for personal growth. In partnership we harness the power of union.

It is important to choose our partnerships consciously. Sometimes forged quickly during times of need, we may find ourselves rushing into unions with perhaps not the clearest intentions. Partnerships created from those starting points might serve our immediate needs, but the repercussions of a union so quickly fostered without much thought can be difficult to recover from. Granted, there is something to learn from every relationship, but looking to another to fix or complete us can turn a partnership into a dependent bond. If we can stay clear about what we want and what we need in a partnership, while staying grounded and remembering that we are our own source of happiness and fulfillment, we can create partnerships that support and enhance the best of who we are.

Everyone in our lives is a mirror reflecting back the parts we love and dislike about ourselves. If we have the courage to recognize our reflections in each other, we can grow through our partnerships. A partnership that offers both acceptance of who we are and an opportunity for personal transformation can be fertile ground for growing a healthy, lasting union. When we find this kind of partnership, we are more likely to want to keep it, invest in it, and nurture it. Life is a collaborative effort. Much of what we do can be enhanced through partnership. Together we are stronger because our personal power is multiplied by two. Through partnership we experience the joys of working, living, and loving together. AMEN! ✨✨
