Sheba, Happy Pink Day! I love all those pink blooms and really all of the colors. I take pictures of lots of flowers on my phone lately with all the blooms.
Today I ran a bit on my hike, face was so red and guess what? I’m going to try it again tomorrow.
Love all these jewelry shows. My son wants to travel to where Jay King was calling in from. I love all the colors in the jewelry too! Maybe I shouldn’t say this but I found where some of these vendors curate from, the prices are about the same.

@shoelady60,

Good evening and I am so glad your husband and friends got to play Golf for their
Charity. 😎💕

Oz is very warm tonight I am helping Oodiebom with Trivia.

@sheba2011

Rained last night but not today so the guys had a good day of golf.🏌️‍♂️ Didn’t have to cook since they had food after the outing. Hubs brought me home 10 cookies!🍪 Glad the township made a few dollars.

Did some grocery shopping early and spent the day around the house doing laundry, flowers, this and that. Unless it rains, I will have another bachelorette day on Sunday.

Jake says thank you for saying “labs” are great!🤣💖

@sheba2011

Hi and good evening. I am currently with hubby at the rehab. We will need another appointment to see the functioning of the bladder. It is non evasive, but takes an hour and fifteen minutes. I will be leaving shortly to pick up an Asian takeout. The urologist mentioned that hubby needs to drink more liquids as well as to start moving around more. Hmm……this has been something I have mentioned on numerous occasions.

I will try to make it to Trivia, not positive. I know someone will start it off. Still temps in 90s with high humidity. A/C still not working, but the service people have been here and left the ceiling vents opened with the wires hanging down. Oh my…

I will write more when I return home.

Intuit Your Home’s Decor

Spend time in a room before decorating — feel it and consider using that room for a purpose that wasn’t originally intended.

When we decide the time has come to change the look or feel of our personal spaces, it is the spaces themselves that can provide us with the most useful guidance. Working with a single room allows us to unearth the innate potential of the space and also better understand how we want to relate to it. To be conscious of the possibilities of a space, we need to listen to, look at, and bond with that space in a deep and personal way. Just as no two people are alike, no two rooms, however similar, are identical. The more we know about the spaces we wish to change, the better equipped we are to make them both beautiful and functional.

Before you contemplate colors and layouts, spend some time in the rooms you plan to modify. Observe the way light moves through each space at different times of day. In the course of a week or so, note those times when you feel drawn to a particular space. You may naturally gravitate toward one room when you want to relax and toward another when you want to socialize. Also, remember that not all rooms have to be used as originally planned — for example, a dining room may make a wonderful sitting area. As you make these observations, think about whether the spaces under consideration remind you of anything or bring certain thoughts to mind. Writing your thoughts down can make the process of examination simpler. The discoveries you make regarding the rooms in your home can help guide you as you choose color schemes, furniture layouts, and decorative styles, so that you bring out the natural qualities of each using your creativity and eye for detail. Using the cues you pick up, you can design a beautiful room that is bright and exciting, or one that calms the soul and invites meditation.

By treating the layout and decor of your personal spaces in this mindful way, you can honor their natural rhythms while creating a cohesive and comfortable home that energy can flow through unencumbered. The design elements you subsequently choose will work together like the diverse instruments that come together to form a symphony orchestra. Each will resonate harmoniously with the next, ensuring that your home resounds with a lasting message of beauty, serenity, reassurance, and comfort. AMEN! ✨✨🌹

@loaf,

I love the color Pink this is National Pink Day. 😘✨😎Enjoy your Friday.

National Pink Day is celebrated on June 23 every year. As you might imagine, it’s a day to celebrate the meaning, history, and beauty of the pale shade of red. Surveys in both the United States and Europe found pink to be most commonly associated with femininity, sensitivity and tenderness. From pink being a subject of recent pop culture, to interesting facts about the delightful shade throughout time, the day celebrates all things pink. After all, as Elle Woods in “Legally Blonde” once famously said, “Whoever said orange is the new pink is seriously disturbed!”

HISTORY OF NATIONAL PINK DAY
As is the case with a number of digital-age holidays, the exact origins and celebrations of National Pink Day are lost in time. What we do know is that when combined with white, pink has long been a symbol of femininity, grace, and chastity, whereas when combined with black, it calls up the prurient interests.

In reverse chronological order, starting with recent pop culture, pink as a color and word has had many uses. In the 90s-era Aerosmith song “Pink,” Steven Tyler croons, “Pink on the lips of your lover / ‘Cause pink is the love you discover…” This is an illustration of the sense of femininity and romance the color has come to represent. But believe it or not, in the old days, pink was worn by boys in infancy and was considered a “stronger” color than blue. Before the 1940s, that’s just how it was.

Even farther back, in the 1700s, we have the first use of the word “pink” to describe pale red, derived from the class of flowers called “the pinks.” Until then, pink was simply that, a flower, and the use of the word referred to a flower in the sense of, “His mother is the flower of dependability,” as in, the paragon or the prime example. In fact, the character Mercutio in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” has a line in which he says, “Nay, I am the very pinck of curtesie,” of course meaning he’s the most well-mannered chap you’re likely to find!

It’s not uncommon today for men to own and wear a couple of pink dress shirts, a phenomenon that evolved in the 1980s when the browns and mustard-yellows of the 70s finally fell out of fashion. Perhaps pink business clothing was first meant as a sign of solidarity with the then-burgeoning feminist movement.

In the interest of staying sharp, staying current, let’s hear from the singer Pink on human nature. “True beauty is knowing who you are and what you want and never apologizing for it.” That’s the true attitude not only of the American songstress, but the color pink itself.
