Of course you can do a spread in Trivia. I just found another entry area for those critters. Hope the contractor comes over and soon. Also have not heard on the opening in our roof which should have been taken care of long ago. They also forgot to put in a new downspout. Oh well. That one will take just a couple of minutes to repair. Need to now check on the clothes in the dryer. Tomorrow is another day and I need to be up before 7 am. It’s almost midnight.

Peace Out Peeps have a nice and safe evening. ✨🌹

@oodiebom,

A quick short note I watched the World News today and reports are allergy
medicine may be in short supply due to the weather and allergy season starting
early. I think I will pick up a couple of bottles when I am out.

I get OTC and I do not want to take a chance. Seems like everything is in shortage
these days. If you go to Costco be sure to stock up. ✨

@shoelady60,

OMG! You are so hilarious. ✨😎Poppy always sit by my side as I post the thread.
In fact he knows when I will post and always guide me to my dressing room where my
computer is. Too funny.

Hey keep warm OZ will have rain and cooler temps as well. I can still see two bunnies
and they are having fun in the moonlight. ✨💕

How is your mother and sister doing? Spring is not far away.

This is how we do it. 😘

@taci,

I hope the SB bag returns too. Taci did you put it in your favorites? I am so glad you like
it and you got it quick and timely. 🌹💕

All that snow I don’t like it and OZ gets it fair share I just never seen such images from
California my niece is alright where you are. 😎

Snakes I think you know how I feel about them. I stay far away and they can do their thing.

Smart for you to go in a different directions and keep it moving.

Look up tonight in the skies it should be beautiful. ✨

@oodiebom,

Good evening I think I need to put a GPS on you because you can do more than the average
person can as far driving to a lot of places. I commend the way you take care of hubby
and his roommate that is so nice. I am sorry he does not have family or any one to visit him.
Oodie it could be a lot of reasons for that they could all live in other States.

I am eating some strawberries right now and they delicious. 😘✨I think this is melon
season and I love it.

Oodie with Trivia coming up in a couple of days do you mind if I post a 52 Anniversary
Gallery for you and hubby I am sure the gang all want to wish you the best. We can celebrate
all week. 🌹💕

I hope this is the end of the critters please let me know how this works out. Will the fridge
be delivered this week? Oodie you are right you have more than enough on your plate.
Rest now my friend and Happy 52nd Anniversary to you and hubby and I am wishing you
many more. 😘😎

Oodie thank you for remembering my cousin I know this too shall pass. 🌹

@xango,

Good evening the moon is out again I know we are an hour apart but you may still see it. ✨🌹
I can stand on my front porch and be wrapped totally in the moon.

Thank you for your kinds words on my cousin. 💕🌹My cousin was dearly loved. 😘

I am sorry you had a boring day I think things will get better. Hang in there I think getting
your groceries delivered is a problem I hope it can be resolved. ✨

I have two bunnies now and at night they play in the moonlight. 😎🌹I love watching
them run and play. Hubby brought home some baby carrots for them when it is warmer
they will come into my backyard which is like a mini-park. Hubby likes to feed them.
I feed the three outdoors cats and I worry a bit about them. Xango they will not come
in the house no matter how cold and rainy it is.

Hey stay safe out there.

Pearls
Song by Sade

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There’s a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she’s dying
She’s dying to survive
Don’t know what she’s made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn’t choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes
There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It’s gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn’t choose
And it hurts like brand new shoes
Hurts like brand new shoes

No Ordinary Love
Song by Sade

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
Gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn’t I tell you
What I believe?
Did somebody say that
A love like that won’t last?
Didn’t I give you
All that I’ve got to give, baby?
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
Gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There’s nothing like you and I, baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Didn’t I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won’t last
Didn’t I give you
All that I’ve got to give, baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There’s nothing like you and I, baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep lying for you
Keep flying and I’m falling
And I’m falling
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep lying for you
Keep flying and I’m falling
And I’m falling

Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache
It’s everywhere that you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know (life that you know)
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It’s called a dance floor, and here’s what it’s for, so
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it
All you need is your own imagination
So use it that’s what it’s for (that’s what it’s for)
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door (open up the door)
It makes no difference if you’re black or white
If you’re a boy or a girl
If the music’s pumping it will give you new life
You’re a superstar, yes, that’s what you are, you know it
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it
Beauty’s where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the music, oh
That’s where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life’s a ball
So get up on the dance floor
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow (go with the flow)
You know you can do it

Club Sheba Anniversary Edition ✨

Paul Williams
“Nice To Be Around”

Hello such a simple way to start a love affair
Should I jump right in and say how much I care
Would you take me for a mad man or a simple hearted clown
Hello with affection from a sentimental fool
To a little girl who’s broken of every rule
One who brings me up when all the others seem to let me down
One whose nice to be around

Should I say that it’s a blue world without you
Nice words I remember from an old love song
But all wrong, ’cause I never called it love before
This feeling’s new – this came with you

And I know that the nicest things that never seem to last
That we’re both a bit embarrassed by our past
But I think there’s something special in the feelings that we’ve found
And you’re nice to be around
And you’re nice to be around

@sheba2011

I am hoping that we are now done with the critters. Terminix was here around 9 am and there were three caught under the sink. This person is the manager and gave me his card so I can contact him directly. I also left a message on the contractor’s phone and I saw he was home on the return from rehab. Hopefully, he will be here tomorrow and I can show him the area that needs the repair. After that we should not see anything more. At least let’s hope so.

I contacted the electrician this morning and they will be out tomorrow morning to repair the ballast so we have lights that work in that bathroom. I also added the installation of a new motion detector for outside or to repair the one that is there that does not seem to work. Next week I will contact the plumber on the leaky faucet and to repair the faucet so that I can work on the lanai.

Hubby looked good this evening. He ate most of his dinner. Now he is asking for strawberries which I will bring tomorrow. Actually the roommate is also asking for some as well. The roommate has been very helpful to my husband and I won’t mind going out of the way for him. He has had no visitors from either family or friends.

I left hubby just before 7 pm. As I walked out and down the two steps I could feel something on my arm that was a bit wet. It was rain and it was coming down ever so gently. The ride home was good. No thunder. No lightning. No downpour. We needed this rain and of course this is just the tip of what we really need. We did have a downpour as I started the washing machine. This must be t he beginning of our cold front which will stay for awhile. And the reason why hubby’s back and my hip felt better. I think we will have another round of rain sometime during the weekend.

Terminix was here this morning. There were three critters under the sink, I am hoping that this is the last of them. I left a voice mail this afternoon with the contractor who lives across the street. I’m hoping he will be here since the electrician is due in the early morning hours. That’s it for now. I need to check on the laundry I started when I returned from the rehab. Have a wonderful evening. Stay safe.

@taci

Thanks for helping us celebrate 52 years. It really does not seem possible. Today, I mentioned to hubby that we will take a boat ride on the Gulf. Part of that boat ride is a huge lunch. He loved the idea. At least now he has something to look forward to.

Hubby was eating dinner when I arrived. He smelled heavenly and I could tell he was enjoying every bite. He left most of the hamburg pattie. Seems they mixed it with cream of corn. Guess no one is watching the carbs. Also, no back pain today. Guess the low must be here or around the corner. I will say the same for my hip. I can do more today than the entire week. Again, thanks for everything.

Oops, almost forgot. Seeing snakes is not my cup of tea either. However, there are times when I need to venture to the trunk of our van to fetch bottles of water. There is a black snake that loves our hibiscus that sits near the road and across from our van. If I go out too late, I hear a hissing sound and you bet I r sh back to the house. I also do not like the geckos.
