I stayed later than I anticipated due to hubby’s coughing spell from too big of a bite from an apple. He is OK. No injuries from the fall. Actually, what happened, the aide did not lock the wheelchair and as he got up, the chair moved. He was able to take hold of the bed and made it to a sitting position on the floor. I say we were lucky on that one, but I did rush down to make sure he was all right.

Hubby is more alert now. Seems the head nurse took him off a medication that was making him drowsy. He said my telling him about the surgeries that were cancelled and what I thought caused it made him take a second look at the meds. The dementia is almost non existent. He still has some problems with short term memory and every once in a while thinks he is in Ct., rather than Florida. I can live with this because he eventually realizes where he is. Just takes a bit longer to figure it out.

Today is garbage and recycle. Not enough to put anything out. Our next garbage pick up is Monday. Guess I will do a load of laundry and continue working on the kitchen. Clean Boss is a life saver. I can skip the soap and rinse on the countertops and also using Clorox. My Kitchen never looked so good. Everything sparkles like brand new. And the odor is something that I can live with. No problem. I am so glad that I purchased it along with the microfiber towels.

Tomorrow hubby has an appointment with the Orthopedist. I will be bringing a choice of
clothes in the morning and then will help him dress. He has asked for Asian food for tomorrow night. There is a Dim Sum restaurant not too far from where we will be. Only problem, no menu on line and the ones they do have are written in Cantonese. So, the decision will be made when I arrive. Oh, and speaking of food. He ate the entire dinner last night. He had no choice. I left too early to prepare something. But he forgets that he needs to take small bites because his esophagus is very narrow and has been that way since birth.

Well, time for me to do some work. Hope you have a great day. We are expecting some thuner and lightning today but, I will not be holding my breath……..LOL

Sheba, hello! Yes, happy they are back safe but I did clean a lot while they were gone. Went to another meeting thingy today so was gone for 5 hours and was tired once back. Yes, the picture look familiar , memories….. we walked the whole area and took the subways also. One day when hubs wasn’t feeling well, I walked to a mall and back. We did get hubs tested for covid in Paris and it was negative. When is your turn for some travel? I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Enjoy the rain. It was cloudy and overcast so great here.

Hello Sheba, how was your day?
It’s been one of those days I find myself trying to catch up on things.
Just came out of the shower, couldn’t decide which one of my Nakery Beauty SkinRestore Body + Hand Wash to use, I love the Rosé & Romance, the Sparkling Celebrations and Tropical Therapy. Though I have them all, so far I tried the ones above and they are wonderful.

We had rain today, a good amount that got everything soaked. The plants and trees are happy. Saw the small bunny today, he certainly likes our backyard.

Made short ribs in the oven today. First I made a broth, then I did all the prep. work to cook it. Cooked it in the dutch oven I had gotten to make bread in. Cooked it a little on top of the stove, then in the oven for two hours. Came out really good, baked sweet potatoes and sautéed broccoli 🥦 with Olive oil and garlic. Had strawberry yogurt with sliced fresh strawberries for dessert. I do enjoy the vanilla flavor yogurt from Publix with fresh sliced strawberries, it’s delicious.
Take Care Sheba 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

4 my father in heaven spread your wings and fly. 😘✨Happy Birthday in heaven dad. 💕🌹😘

Butterfly
Song by Mariah Carey

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you rise
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly, oh
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you’re
Ready to land
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly, oh
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were ment to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly, butterfly
I can’t pretend these tears
Aren’t over flowing steadily
I can’t prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you’ll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly, oh
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly, oh
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Fly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

@shoelady60,

Happy Birthday tomorrow to both your mother and to my beloved father in heaven.
Daddy passed away just three years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him.
I was the last family member to see him and I was dressed in PP Gear because it was
during covid-19. I was willing to risk it all just to see him one last time in Hospice. 😘🌹💕

Enjoy your mother tomorrow and your sister. 🌹💕

I miss you daddy. ✨💕

4 my father in heaven whose birthday is almost here. 💕🌹Love you Daddy.

Papa, Can You Hear Me?
Song by Barbra Streisand

God – our heavenly Father
Oh God – and my father
Who is also in heaven
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminates the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be
Frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yersterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I’m alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don’t you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying
Anything I’m saying
Even though the night is filled
With voices?
I remember ev’rything you thaught me
Every book I’ve ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you.
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight

Thank you, thank you for the delicious pics – I’ll have to get the screen cleaner out again!👅

Tomorrow is mom’s big day. We will have our early dinner and go back to her house for coffee and/or drinks and cake.☕🍷 Mom’s favorite is cheesecake.🍰

Nice day in the ‘burgh. Husband’s golf league starts Sunday and they are calling for rain.🌧 That is one thing he won’t do, golf in the rain. Maybe it will be scattered. Was looking forward to a Sunday by myself.😕

Happy Birthday to your dad in heaven.💖🙏💖
