Really good news. To find out that everything was normal with the stress test and next that his heart is good made my day. I’m not sure what the physicians saw in Savannah back in July, but glad everything turned out OK. I surmise that the orthopedist will call sometime next week. Not sure if he needs another appointment prior to the surgery being scheduled, but will get all those answers next week. I just hope it is early enough so that we can return North to check on the houses before the heat and humidity hits. Those houses are not air conditioned. And to think that our fans are at the Cape. Looks like I will purchase at least one fan from here and load it into the van when it’s time. We have yet to drive to Brandon. I’m hoping to make that trip soon. Hmm. Didn’t I say that several times before. Have a great evening. I will now watch your video.

Peace Out Peeps! Have a safe evening. ✨✨

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can’t hang with the feelin’
Then there ain’t no room for you this part of town
‘Cause we’re the party people night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
You can shout out all you want to
‘Cause there ain’t no sin in folks all getting loud
If you take the chance and do it
There there ain’t no one who’s gonna put you down
‘Cause we’re the party people night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
Do what you want to do
There ain’t no rules it’s up to you (ain’t no rules it’s all up to you)
It’s time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old
‘Cause we’re the party people night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Come on and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Come on and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall

@shoelady60,

You have no idea my heart was pounding so hard I felt everything he felt.

Yes I will be taking him to his Vet. ✨ Oz will have some crazy weather again this weekend.

@oodiebom,

I am just thrilled for you and hubby. This is a wonderful day. ✨😘

@shoelasy60

Thanks for being there through our ups and downs. We will probably hear from the Orthopedist next week. That will give us an idea on when we can pack up and head North. Right now it looks like May or June which will keep us here into July. Without A/C at the other homes, not sure what we will do. Will keep everyone posted.

Cannot wait to hear about your Sister’s cruise. Hope she had a great time.

@oodiebom

YAAAAY!!! Been waiting for this good news. You two definitely need to celebrate!✨💕🥂

@sheba2011

Happy Earth Day – It is beautiful in my little section of the earth today!😊 We will be having summer for three days🌞😎 then back down to late fall in the middle of next week. Mother nature needs to get together with mother earth to straighten things out.

Don’t know why but I was so tired yesterday I barely made it through the hockey game.😴 Today I ran to a couple stores for mom while she was at the hair salon. Tomorrow she is going with her neighborhood group to a show downtown and dinner after so that will take up her whole day. We will probably wait until next weekend to celebrate her birthday since sis gets back late Tuesday.🎈🎁

So glad Poppy is better.🥰 That is one reason I wish dogs could talk, makes us crazy trying to figure out what’s wrong.😩 Been there, done that soooo many times. I’m sure your heart was pounding.💓 Sending hugs to you both.🤗💕

@sheba2011

The sun is out, humidity will start to climb, and I’m indoors. Had a phone call this afternoon from the cardiologist. The stress test came back. The oxygen tests came back normal. The heart is also fine. I am jumping for joy. Hubby is asleep and yes, he knows. We are going to celebrate, eventually.

Even though Poppy feels better today, to be safe, have him checked just to be sure. Pooches are great at hiding other symptoms. They are like children. Fine one minute, not so good the next.

See you in Trivia.

Good Afternoon Sheba and Happy Earth Day 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
I see you are at 75 degrees today, that’s a warm day for you. I am sorry Poppy is not feeling well.
I hope by the time you read this, Poppy is feeling better.
Butterflies are starting to come by now in front of the house where the milkweed is. And in the back, I placed a few pieces of cantaloupe in the bird feeder. The Cardinals, a Male and female comes and have a feast. Early this morning I saw the big rabbit enjoying the yard and the fresh grass. The other day I saw a smaller rabbit, not full grown yet.
Enjoy your afternoon Sheba, see you in Trivia tonight. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Finding Nature in Your Neighborhood

Nature is all around us and there is a plethora in every neighborhood, one only needs to become still and watch.

Because both cities and tightly packed suburbs offer wildlife bountiful nooks and crannies in which to hide, it can be difficult to spot the animals that live in our midst. Many thrive among paved streets, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots, and high-rises. There are animals in abundance burrowing in the soil of center medians and tiny backyard gardens, making nests in the trees that line broad and busy avenues, and buzzing round the flowers that beautify our parks. To find these creatures, we only need to stop, look, and listen. Nature’s drama is continually playing out on the window ledges where weary birds stop to roost, in the shadowy places where cautious nocturnal mammals wait for night’s mantel to fall, and the fountains where playful waterfowl splash and frolic. In observing the animals that share our habitat, we become a part of their beautiful, complex, and exciting world.

Season by season, cities offer diverse ecosystems for you to explore. If your search for urban and suburban wildlife is challenging, try to look at your community with an animal’s eyes. Where there are shrubs and flowers, insects such as butterflies, ladybugs, beetles, and spiders can usually be found. The insects, in turn, attract the birds who feast upon them. Even the smallest green spaces are hosts to squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and moles. Decorative awnings offer falcons a place to raise their young. At night, a different community of animals wakens to the world. Raccoons, skunks, and possums emerge to examine our human leftovers for edibles. Even pets feel the call of the wild–it’s not uncommon for well-fed cats in colorful collars to stalk the streets in search of prey. Signs of habitation, like nests or hives, and audible evidence, like chirps, will help you find them.

Recognizing that you share your city with a wide range of animals can make you feel like a part of the grand circle of life and help you appreciate the importance of a healthy urban environment. You can admire the hardiness and adaptability of the urban animal while developing a sense of stewardship that inspires you to become their champion. The shrill calls of birds, the hum of bees, and the sweet squeaks of city-dwelling mammals can be a symphony that help you develop a deeper connection with the nature world. ✨✨ AMEN!

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California wishing you and your family a safe Earth Day everyday. ✨😘
