adding we don’t wear coats all winter like many do in others parts of the US so that why things hold up so well and it’s a warm weather jacket.

Oh, the Moon. I saw the Moon out while hiking since it was late in the day.
It was lovely! Later at night we had a rain storm. We need lots and lots of rain.

Take care.

Sheba, well those leggings shipped and made it all the way to CA (based on the tracking) and then shipped right back to HSN where it appeared as a return. Never got them, just the notification of a return. I used the chat line to ask about it and all the could say sometimes things like that happen. While I really need some nice leggings, it is ok. Sometimes things happen.
It seems like HSN has some CA Distrib because WPuck and Skinn fly here along with a few other brands. Maybe it was shifted due to their warehouse fire?
I am eyeing a jacket (Bernardo EcoPlume Packable Quilted Jacket 128-6504) but it has no video. Any thoughts on it? Recently purchased the Laurier Packable Solid Water-Resistant Puffer Jacket 684-373 in black and am very happy with it. These will replace much older coats, in good condition that can be donated (my Eddie Bauer Jacket, bought in Maine over 20 years ago, has held up so well! Mine is blue and hubs bought one in red).

Will look forward to hearing how Shoelady’s Mom and Sis enjoyed their cruise.

Good Evening. We have been very busy the last few days and we are not done yet. When we saw the doctor on Monday I mentioned that we had yet to hear from any cardiologist. I told him of a phone call I received last week where a man phoned and left a message. When I called it was the same person and I mentioned this to our physician. I also mentioned that they had an opening three days prior to surgery and he mentioned that was not enough time to send the info. So we were back to square one. He gave me a phone number to contact the hospital directly for an appointment for the ECHO, but mentioned that I should wait until today to make the call Well, I did. Only problem, it was a recording and the first part was OK. The second part not so good. Could not understand what the recording was saying. It was almost like it died in the middle and I heard the last part. I decided to wait until later and see if hubby had the same problem.

This afternoon we had an appointment at the Orthopedist office. No blood test. Just listened to the heart and answered the questions that concerned us. I was mainly worried about the anesthesia and the effects it would have on the dementia.. I also was concerned with the three steep stairs to climb into our home. Hubby said it was not a problem but I let them know that he had fallen backwards yesterday trying to get up on to the first step. He wasn’t hurt, but had problems getting up. Not a concern at this time. He will have physical therapy at home for the first few days until his walk is better and the pain lessens.

We had some shopping to do following, but decided to go home instead. We were both exhausted. Guess we will go to Costco tomorrow and fill up the tank. I still have not called for the appointment on the van. I will now work around the ECHO appointment when we get one.
As of now, the cardiologist’s assistant will give it a try. I think I will also ask hubby to listen to the
recording. His hearing is better than mine. I think that brings us up to date.

Enjoy the Olympics.

Peace Out Peeps! Have a safe evening. ✨✨WE have a wicked storm coming
to OZ tonight I hope the power holds. Time to make sure everything is locked down. 😎✨

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

@Sheba
Good Afternoon Sheba, I hope your day is going well. We have a full day of Sun and the temperature is 78. The last few days were very chilly, and now it shot up. I can’t wait until mid-March to be sure no frost or freeze to start planting my herbs in the back.
Made some chicken broth yesterday, then I made soup again. I had to order some Bay leaves from Amazon, my little tree is not producing this time of year. I am using the ones I collected throughout the summer to fast. I might get another little Bay leaf tree.
I hope your afternoon is going great, take care Sheba.

Discovering the Little Things That Make Us Happy

Rediscover the little things in life that make you happy, add a new little thing each day, and be prepared to shine.

Life is full of little wonders that can make us happy. The sound of a baby’s laughter, a good book, the comforting smell of a favorite old sweatshirt, and the warmth from a cup of hot tea are simple pleasures that can easily put smiles on our faces. These “little things” are easily accessible to us and can be sources for happiness. A key to finding them is taking the time to put those rose-colored glasses from childhood back on so you can easily access the joy in all the “little things” life has to offer.

Finding a puppy rummaging through the laundry basket, trying on that perfect shade of lipstick, or discovering the extra change you left in your back pocket can turn into moments of delight. Like kids digging in the sandbox for buried trinkets, we may even begin to experience happiness when we engage in the seemingly mundane. Figuring out a software program can feel like deciphering a treasure map, and that first sip of tea in the morning can taste like a forbidden delicacy. Swaying to music playing on the radio can turn into an interpretive jig, riding a bike can seem like flying to the moon, and getting a phone call from that special someone can feel like winning the lottery. A pickup game of basketball becomes an exciting match among champions, and observing an elderly couple walking hand in hand can turn into a meditation on peace and contentment.

When we begin rediscovering that the little things in life can make us happy, we naturally want to share this joy with others. We may gush over a friend when we run into them unexpectedly, praise a street musician for their talents, or blow bubbles for the neighborhood kids to chase. We may even start to think of the little things we can do to make other people happy, which in turn makes us happy all over again. There is an endless supply of little things and little moments that can make us happy. All we have to do is look for them, and they’ll magically start to appear.
AMEN! ✨✨🌹
