@oodiebom,

I will be praying for both you and Xango Oodie. I did see that show with Bill Green.

I also remember the show Callie did too. ✨

Oodie please be safe and safe travels. ✨

Left a note for xango which explains everything. I am tired and need to get some shut eye. Hubby is in a lot of pain due to the storm. We had men working here on doing the side of our home. Guess I will do what I can following a format that the physician sent us. My phone will not be able to download facetime, but there are other possibilities. I have never used this format, but it should work out, I hope.

I have a feeling Heidi may not be on the air on Thursday because of the storm. In the days prior to the takeover with Qurate, Bill Green would fly to Texas to use a facility there to televise HSN. It was like nothing happened. He would go with staff and other hosts and televise as long as they were needed. It was a great idea. And it worked.

Update: 6am Tuesday. There was a hotel not far from us that looked good. However, no refund on the reservations so decided to wait another few hours to see what Ian was doing. By the time I saw all the spaghetti streams going between Ft.Myers and Tampa, decided to make a reservation. This was at noon yesterday. Guess everyone is doing what I did, looking for a safe place. Well, everything was booked. I thought for sure I would be going to a shelter, but around 2am found an opening . Only thing the hotel is on the bay side of the storm. It was the last room. I actually hemmed and hawed for a bit because of the location. Decided if things were bad, we could always sit it out in the hallway or lobby. Yes, the storms in Florida are worse than what we see in New England. But those 75-85 mph winds can do just as much damage as one categorized higher. The other side of the coin is during the winter months we do see blizzards. This is something the Southerners rarely or never see. So guess I can say we are even in that regard.

I will try to post when we get to the hotel which won’t be until after 4 pm. I need to do a few things here before leaving. Just a few things in the yard that has to be put elsewhere and then pack for a few days. Will be using our Kindle rather than a computer because of viruses. Take care you two. I will post when I can as long as there is wifi and electricity. Stay safe. I hope I have made the right decision.

Peace Out Peeps stay safe out there. ✨✨

Hang tough HSN praying everyone stay safe. ✨🌹

@shoelady60,

Good evening I am so sorry about your friend I hate Cancer and it has taken too many
of my loved ones from me and I mean in just a few short years. I will say a prayer and light
a candle for her. 🌹✨

I am just a wee bit under the weather I think it is sinuses. 😎😎

Drink this and you will feel as right as rain. 😘😜✨

@oodiebom,

Please be careful out there tomorrow. I would have done the same thing. I will be
concerned so let us know when you know how things are going.

Going to be a long week but we can all get through this. ✨✨

Send in the Clowns
Song by Barbra Streisand

Isn’t it rich
Aren’t we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn’t it bliss
Don’t you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can’t move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don’t you love farce
My fault I fear
I thought that you’d want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise
Who could foresee?
I’ve come to feel about you what you felt about me
Why only now when I see that you’ve drifted away
What a surprise, what a cliché
Isn’t it rich, isn’t it
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don’t bother they’re here

@xango,

I am concerned for you and Oodie and everyone else in Florida I just hope it is not massive
damage and loss of life. ✨ I hope your husband does not have to drive in case it does hit.

Xango get your home in order for safety just post when you can you know I will be wondering
and so will Oodie.

Thank you for posting I am glad you and hubby are doing well.

“A Whole New World”
(Aladdin’s Theme)

Ooh
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But now from way up here
It’s crystal clear
That now I’m in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
(Don’t you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath – it gets better)
I’m like a shooting star
I’ve come so far
I can’t go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
(A whole new world)
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming

A whole new world
(Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Every moment, red-letter)
I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That’s where we’ll be
(Where we will be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Colors Of The Wind
Song by Vanessa Williams

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Barry Manilow
“I Write The Songs”

I’ve been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music
And I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

My home lies deep within you
And I’ve got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I’m young again, even tho’ I’m very old

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock ‘n roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well that’s a real fine place to start
It’s from me, it’s for you
It’s from you, it’s for me
It’s a worldwide symphony

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I am music and I write the songs
