@oodiebom,

I am so glad you posted good to know you are alright and hubby doing better.

I have been doing yardwork in my warm jacket the sun is out and it is not too bad.

Hubby had his part to do and I had mine we are just starting for the season.

I love that you take food too your husband and his room mate how sweet.

Oodie I am a firm believer that everything you do comes back to you.

Good afternoon. It is now Sunday on the West coast. Beautiful day with lots of sun with temps in the 80s. No humidity and so I am a happy person, though I wish we would have some rain for our plants. There is only a l4% chance of that occurring today.

I visited hubby last night. Thank goodness I brought a care package for him and his roommate. Hubby’s tray was still on the cart when I arrived around 6:00 pm.. I lifted the lid from the china plate and was taken aback at what was the meal. There was summer squash and I really like this vegetable. But not here. This was overcooked and soggy. The main dish was macaroni with white American cheese. Too much cheese and just a scant of macaroni. There was no dessert. I brought the roomate a chicken salad sandwich on toasted pumpernickel bread (homemade by the Amish) with lettuce, tomato and onion. Hubby got to finish his Italian grinder. For both I included fresh fruit for dessert alond with strawberries. I left the strawberries for both men since I didn’t want to bring the pint home with me. Tonight I will be bringing hamburger on a toasted hamburg bun (homemade by the Amish) with Provolone cheese and onion. May make French fries on the side. Not sure about the dessert.

I am still working in the kitchen. Today I will be doing the oven and it will probably take a few hours before the self cleaning is done and over. However, I will be making the hamburgers in the airfryer along with the fries. I think I saved the small round plastic things with covers to use for ketchup and mustard. It’s such a shame that the kitchen crew cannot do better on their recipes and cooking skills.

I did find a better route to the Rehab center. It cuts off the number of traffic lights and stop signs. No stop signs and only 5 or 6 lights and a turnabout. The lights do not stay red for long. It cuts my time on the road to almost half. But, the best part, is that I no longer have to contend with the awful smells from Tropicana and their train tracks that make my van wiggle. The odor is outrageous, atrocious, obnoxious, ugly…….need I say more?????

Hubby is starting to move around more. Full of energy that I haven’t seen in months. He is eat ing better. Tomorrow he has the ultrasound in the afternoon. It will be a good day for me to run into Costco and then get gas. I will not be bringing food with me. However, will order out if I need to. The rehab is only 4 miles from Costco and is 3 lanes, plus an extra one for left turns only (u-turns as well). Gas is $3.75/gal. at the stations. Haven’t checked the warehouses, but assume they are in the $3.50 range. Gas has been going up at least $.25 per week or more. I assume this is because OPEC raised the price of the barrels (as if they need the $$).

Well, back to work. Hope you have a wonderful day. Please try to take it easy. Above all, take your sinus meds even though you think you do not need it. It could save you from your sinus migraines later. I enjoy reading how you feed the animals at night. I miss doing that as well.

Peace Out Peeps have a safe evening.

Something Good – The Sound of Music

… Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
… For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
… Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
… For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
… Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something
Something good

Edelweiss – The Sound of Music

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Ev’ry morning you greet me
Small and White
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossem of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
Clean and Bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossem of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

So Long, Farewell – The Sound of Music

There’s a sad sort of clanking
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say “cuckoo” (Cuckoo, Cuckoo)

Regretfully they tell us (Cuckoo)
But firmly they compel us (Cuckoo)
To say goodbye (Cuckoo)
To you

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight

I hate to go
And leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, adeiu

Adieu, adieu
To yieu and yieu and yieu

So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf wiedersehen

I’d like to stay
And taste my first champagne

(Spoken)
No?

No

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodbye

I leave, and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye

I’m glad to go
I cannot tell a lie

I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone
To bed and so must I

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
