@oodiebom,

I have read great books like that if it is really good I do not put it down until I am finished. ✨😘
I love reading that is what my dad made us kids do when we were growing up and believe me
I was the best reader in my class all through school. ✨😎 One summer my father brought
home a complete set of Encyclopedias and I read every one of them. I have always had a
curious nature about things and life.

Oodie we both have the same trash and recycling day remember Monday was a Holiday
and well here in OZ your trash is picked up a day late which means my trash day is Friday.
I am so glad because hubby take the trash and recycling out around 6:00 a.m. and it will
be -2 in the morning and that is not a typo. 😜Then hubby will go to work. I will send Poppy
to his spot in the backyard to run a bit and come back in I always watch him when it is
this cold. I am getting a head cold I can feel it and I am going to try to beat it.

I am about to get up under the cover and maybe read myself. Hubby is almost sleep. 😘

I am wearing a Marla Wynne Topper and Pants and it feels good because I am cold.

Oodie be careful lifting. Enjoy another good book tonight. 😘✨🌹

Umbrella
Song by Rihanna

Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, Rihanna
Uh huh, uh huh
Good girl gone bad
Uh huh, uh huh
Take three, action
Uh huh, uh huh, Hov
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Comin’ down at the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone
We Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
In G5s or better
You know me
In anticipation for precipitation stack chips for the rainy day
Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna, where you at?
You have my heart, and we’ll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines, but you’ll still be my star
Baby, ’cause in the dark
You can’t see shiny cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
These fancy things will never come in between
You’re part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we’ll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
You can run into my arms
It’s okay, don’t be alarmed
Come into me
(There’s no distance in between our love)
So gon’ and let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath, I’ma stick it out ’til the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we’ll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
It’s raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it’s raining, raining
Baby, come into me
Come into me
It’s raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it’s raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain
It’s pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me
It’s pouring rain
It’s pouring rain

And a good evening to you. I picked up some noodles made in Japan in the refrigerator section at Costco last week. They were packages within the box. Used one today and made a stir fry with veggies and added turkey and chicken to it. I have to admit that it was very good. I do not know if you ever tried it. I think it is a soy product and it is a protein rather than your duram wheat product. Looks like spaghetti and tastes like it also. I used to pick up the small packets in the vegetable section in the supermarket. One packet from Costco serves two people easily.

No, we didn’t go out today. We plan to drive to the Farmer’s Market tomorrow. We were just too lazy to go out. Probably most of it was due to my staying up reading until 6 this morning. The novel was interesting and had me going from beginning to end. No, it was not a mystery. Just a wholesome story.

4 my Florida and S. California Girls. ✨✨ OZ is 14 degrees right now and tomorrow
we will be in the minuses. Holy Smokes! 😜

Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)
Song by Billy Ocean

She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned ’cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah
Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can’t ignore
And passion burns you like never before
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
Caribbean Queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run

The Girl From Ipanema
Stan Getz

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes, ah
When she walks she’s like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes, each one she passes goes, ah
Oh, but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at he
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn’t see
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at he
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes he smiles, but she doesn’t see
She just doesn’t see
No she doesn’t see
But she doesn’t see

I think our low temperatures will be in the 40s. Looks like another cold front for the weekend. I have everything we need in the second bedroom and a couple of jackets are in the van which I will bring in tonight or first thing in the morning. I had the heat on yesterday, but today everything is off. House is in the 70s. Back in the North we usually keep the temp between 60 and 65.

During these cold spells I do dress in layers. Sometimes I just start off with the spring/summer clothes and add as the weather changes. Other times it’s the other way around. In someways it is just like being up North. Only thing missing are the sleigh rides, snow of course and the sub freezing temps. I do not miss the temps, but used to love sitting in my den watching the snow gently float to the ground below. Today, I would call someone to shovel the walk and driveway.

I cannot believe that tomorrow is garbage and recycles. Since hubby is in dreamland I will put everything out either tonight or in the am. They come late morning so I have time. Friday is Trivia. I do hope we will some of the questions on line like we used to. I surmise HSN wants people to watch the tube rather than their computer. Too bad they cannot do it both ways like it used to be.

Have a great time the rest of the week. Stay warm. Be safe.

See you are up and about in the wee hours of the morning. Guess, i am the same way. However it was 6 am this morning when I finally went to bed all because of a book. Started it two days ago and finished it this am. It was a freebie from Amazon and I just could not drop it. Very easy read. I usually play the games in the Arcade until 1 or 2 am. So, I smiled when I read the time you actually saw my note.

Thanks so much for the update on your BIL. I know what it is like to be overweight. No fun. While hubby was hospitalized, it was a good time to start. The weight is coming off and I am happy. Doing the housework and cleaning inside and outside of cabinets and closets has kept me from being a couch potato. Besides, now, I am finding the energy returning. Doing exercises in a gym or a class is not my “cup of tea.” Putting a CD on and bouncing up and down keeps me limber. Well, at my age, what is limber????

I hope all goes well for your mom and sis. I am not concerned so much with the cruise as there are places to go and things to do. Main concern is the flight. Hope they have a great time and enjoy the beaches, the sightseeing, meeting the locals, etc. etc.. Wish I wasn’t a scaredy .cat.

@Sheba
Good Evening Sheba, are you keeping warm? I am sure you have a fire in your fireplace.
We were in the 60’s today and sunshine. But the 10 day look ahead puts us in the twenties at night this coming week.
My mom and I went back to Brazil for another visit in 1982. We stopped in Bahia first, its in the Northeast. We stayed just a little over a week and celebrated the new year there. A hotel just a few feet from the ocean. On December 30th at 4AM a huge truck opened in the back similar to a flatbed filled with people playing musicals instruments. Announcing a celebration of the new year on the beach that morning came down the street waking everyone up from their sleep. The streets was filled with excitement and people making noise that morning I was already awake, looking out the patio door. They had several booths on the beach that same morning with free food and drinks to the public. And a band with music, people eating, drinking and dancing the Samba. I found it so amazing, beautiful, entertaining and generous.
We met a family that invited us to their home for the 31st and celebrated with them.
That week the lady and her daughter took us around showing us the sites. We left Bahia and continued our trip onto to Porto Alegre. To be continued.
Stay warm and safe Sheba. Take care.

Hello Oodiebom, this morning around 3AM I read your post to me about two days ago.
You mentioned how you layer your clothing here in Florida to keep warm when it gets cold. Reminded me of when I lived in Virginia, I used to layer my my clothes too. I was looking at the ten day weather look ahead. Next Thursday night time temperature suppose to be 33 and Friday night, 28 😱😱😱 I sure hope they got that one wrong.
Stay safe and stay warm in these cold days we are about to have Oodie.

@oodiebom

My BIL lives here in the ‘burgh, SIL is in Atlanta. BIL’s problems all stem from a mine accident he was in many years ago. He has COPD, a pacemaker, now an ulcer. He is very overweight and does no exercises, although with this kidney problem he is on a special diet and has lost 25 pounds. So it’s one thing on top of another. He has had many cultures and blood samples sent out that I can’t even keep track anymore. So we just learned to take it one day at a time. My SIL (his wife) has earned her doctorate in medicine over the years. She can recite numbers/ranges on blood tests with the snap of the fingers. And my reply is “and that is for what?”🤣

@sheba2011

Husband is going to a nearby restaurant for a birthday sandwich🍔 for one of the guys from his gym so I am having my leftover chili for dinner. Did some odds and ends around the house today. I am also missing my boy, I don’t think that will ever stop.😪🐕 I see so many commercials with dogs that make me think of him.

That drink looks delish!! Although just looking at it makes me cold. But, I want it so I’ll just turn up the heat.🔥 I have the BEST bartender!!🥰🤗
