Good Morning Peeps enjoy your Sunday and stay cool and safe. 😎✨

Good evening. It’s almost midnight and I am up and about. I didn’t make it to Costco today. I was about to leave around 4 pm and discovered that Costco closes at 6 pm.. So rather than rush, decided to leave early tomorrow with our new lunch thing to keep everything warm or cold.

On our first trip to Florida we stopped in Orlando and from there to Clearwater and to Tampa. I think we were there altogether about 3 wks. All I can remember is being so cold. The temps were close to freezing and could not wait to return North. While visiting Tampa and clearwater, we came across Costco. Up until that point we heard how beautiful and low the prices were in the club. So, since we were right there, we parked the van and walked in. Immediately we were sent to Customer Service to get a card so we could look around at our own pace. We were completely mesmerized with tons of items that you would never expect to see in a warehouse. We didn’t purchase anything that day, but decided we wanted a membership. Costco had a warehouse in New Haven, Ct. and so did Sam’s. However, both places were two hours from us. Back then it was just too far to travel. On the Cape, there are two Costcos in MA. Again, both places too far away . We were fortunate to find two Sam’s clubs in Rhode Island. Both were en route to our home on the Cape. So we stopped at Sams on our way to the Cape and on our return to Ct.. Then we heard that Costco was opening in Sarasota. The rest is history.
Best customer service ever. Sam’s is OK. But like you, we have out items delivered. Hubby needs to use their carts to get around and each time we have been there, there are no carts. We see their staff using them all the time and assume they need it more than us. Unfortunately, Sam’s closed both their places in Rhode Island. There parking lot was always full. No rhyme or reason for closing. Their employees found out by going to the warehouse on the day they normally report for work only to find a sign on the door that store closed. No reason. Nothing mentioned prior. Actually, Sam’s closed all their warehouses in New England. As customers we were devastated. They even closed their brand new warehouses that were opened less than a year prior. I love their hotdogs and also their Caesar salad with chicken. I will be there tomorrow for sure along with Loews since I pass it on the way to the Interstate and the traffic jamb. Oops no highway work on Sunday. No traffic……

Hubby was in good spirits today. However, he turned down the three meals and thank goodness I brought cheese with me and fruit. He was shaking and I scolded him for not trying the meal. As I arrived patients gave a thumbs up on dinner so I couldn’t understand why hubby did not partake. I was actually surprised to see that the ceilings were wide opened with wires hanging down. I thought for sure that the techs would be working on it. Nope, they wanted their weekend off. I’m actually surprised that they did this when knowing there are elderly people there trying to recoup from surgeries or other maladies. Really a sad situation. The other sad part is that the place really needs a good cleaning. I may go in tomorrow with Clean Boss and the microfiber cloths.

Sheba, such a nice welcome to trivia, you are so kind. Looks like you’re managing a few different threads these days, haha. Loving the pictures you posted above. Really pretty.
The ring should arrive in about 4 days and I will post about it once received. I was happy to see 1 5 star review. It’s so hard to buy something unseen.
I have really honed down a lot of my jewelry and am not looking for too much these days. it’s the one off’s here and there that I will buy. Next , we need Colleen Lopez to get her jewelry boxes in stock.
Hope you are having a lovely day in Oz and not too hot. We had a nice sunny day for a change.

Oodie, thanks for the explanations and welcome! Sheba doesn’t call you the hostess with the mostess for nothing :). Maybe when you’re at costco you can check for one of those small personal size fans that could sit on a tray for your hubs? HSN has a few. For example Geek Aire Rechargeable Personal Fan 2-pack with Power Banks
825-826.
I think we all have our own eating habits and most of us wouldn’t want any other food but our own. I used to offer to send food to my Mother. It is fortunate you can do some of that for your hubs.
Florida sounds hot. I will post about the ring once it arrives in approximately 4 days. The tsavorite ring sounds lovely.

Peace Out Peeps stay cool and safe this evening. ✨🌹

Alicia Keys
“Girl On Fire”

She’s just a girl and she’s on fire
Hotter than a fantasy
Lonely like a highway
She’s livin’ in a world and it’s on fire
Filled with catastrophe
But she knows she can fly away

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
She got both feet on the ground
And she’s burnin’ it down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
She got her head in the clouds
And she’s not backin’ down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She’s walkin’ on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she’s a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try, but you’ll never forget her name
She’s on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls, say

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We got our feet on the ground
And we’re burnin’ it down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we’re not comin’ down

This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She’s walkin’ on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Everybody stares as she goes by
‘Cause they can see the flame that’s in her eyes
Watch her when she’s lightin’ up the night
Nobody knows that she’s a lonely girl
And it’s a lonely world
But she gon’ let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She’s walkin’ on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

She’s just a girl, but she’s on fire

Get the Party Started
Song by Pink

I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody’s waitin’ for me to arrive
Sendin’ out the message to all of my friends
We’ll be lookin’ flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
(I’m comin’ up, I’m comin’)
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Pumpin’ up the volume, breakin down’ to the beat
Cruisin’ through the west side
We’ll be checkin’ the scene
Boulevard is freakin’ as I’m comin’ up fast
I’ll be burnin’ rubber, you’ll be kissin’ my
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says “Stunner number one Superstar”
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
(I’m comin’ up, you better)
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Get this party started
Makin’ my connection as I enter the room
Everybody’s chillin’ as I set up the groove
Pumpin’ up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody’s dancin’ and their dancin’ for me
I’m your operator, you can call anytime
I’ll be your connection to the party line
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
(I’m comin’ up, I’m comin’)
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
(I’m comin’ up, I’m comin’)
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
(I’m comin’ up, you better)
I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started
Get this party started, oh
Get this party started right now
Get this party started
Get this party started
Get this party started right now

Boogie Wonderland
Song by Earth, Wind & Fire and The Emotions

Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men
Who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman
Who has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says
“Baby, uh, uh, it don’t work”
You say your prayers though you don’t care
You dance and shake the hat
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland
Sound fly through the night
I chase my vinyl dreams to Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
All the love in the world can’t be gone
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
“Boogie Wonderland, Wonderland”
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
Dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance, dance
Dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance, dance
Wonderland
Wonderland
All the love in the world can’t be gone (love in the world can’t be gone)
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong (need to be loved can’t be wrong)
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
Boogie Wonderland, Wonderland
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
Dance, Boogie Wonderland, hey, hey
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
Dance, dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance (Boogie Wonderland), dance
