Hello and Happy New Year Week 🎉
How was your long walk with Poppy? I am glad your area is a bit warmer.
We were in the high seventies and beautiful. A slight breeze, no humidity. A large butterfly came over flying all over the place in the front. I collected lots of Sage will do more before the cold weather comes along again.
Cooked two large pots of Oxtails, three packages all together. It’s for the freezer, but I did have it for dinner 😄😋. Hubby got roasted vegetables and a sausage.
I looked up some items I want to make New Year’s Eve. Of course I will have lentils it’s a tradition. Received an groceries ordered yesterday and got some real nice grapes.
I will make a few different crackers and some finger food for the Ball Drop to go with some Wine. I found recipes for cheese crackers and some that hubby can eat too. One with pumpkin puree and chickpea flour. Another one with Oatmeal flour.
I will make a few Brazilian Pastels and some Empadas. I will start tomorrow, some can be made ahead and place in the fridge.
Take care Sheba🍾🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉🎉

@oodiebom,

Your post is so funny it had me cracking up at what your husband was trying to find at
2:00 a.m. in the morning. I am sure you were not amused. 😜✨Hey I have lost pieces
of jewelry and I know it is in the house I tend to take them off my jacket or my outfit for
safe keeping. I will not stop until I find that precious piece. 😜😎

I hope you have a marvelous New Year’s Eve. My neighbor just two doors down always
put on a fireworks show every year. Poppy is not afraid of loud noise I hope Charlie will
be safe at home. 😘💕Hubby and I will watch on our lawn we bring chairs too and just enjoy
the view. 😘I just came into the house the moon is out and it is so beautiful. ✨😘

I will walk in the moonlight tomorrow I love doing that. 🌹

I am hoping all the workmen will show up when needed and do a fantastic job on all
repairs. Oodie this has been a challenging year for you. As you know this too shall pass. ✨

Enjoy your evening I have several bags I am taking to the curb so it will be a busy night for
me. 😜

I hope you see a beautiful rainbow. ✨😘💕

I Am a Rock
Song by Simon & Garfunkel

A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
I’ve built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pains
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain
I am a rock I am an island
Don’t talk of love
Well I’ve heard the word before
It’s sleeping in my memory
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

The Sound of Silence
Song by Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”
