Hi and good afternoon. The last time I saw hubby was Sunday. I had made a stop at Costco and purchased two hot dogs and tow sundaes plus two sodas. When I ret urned to the car I added the ice cream to our new sandwich thing plus two ice packs. The hot dog I put into the bottom container and the sodas I poured into the plastic bottles that held the water. Dinner that night was pretty good. I had tried it, but hubby wanted the dogs. The ice cream stayed frozen. However, I started not feeling too well and so I left before 8 pm. My throat felt a little sore so I took a teaspoon of Manuka. Sore throat gone within minutes. But could not regulate body temp by Monday. Yesterday was the worse and today I am beginning to feel more myself. I wanted to contact the rehab but it was after 7 pm and the switchboard was closed. I will make a phone call first thing tomorrow to let the staff know I will not be there and they need to make sure that hubby is eating. Depending how I feel, may make a stop at Culvers for fish & chips with cole slaw or something else. Definitely their custard which is homemade. I haven’t had anything to eat in a few days. May try a pizza tomorrow which can be delivered. I also ordered PRI for the cough from Amazon, but as of now, no cough. Definitely will wait one more day before seeing hubby and will talk to the unit mgr/head nurse tomorrow. No fun being ill without hubby being near.

Good afternoon Sheba 😊
The grass cutting team was here this morning and scared my beautiful little bunny off. He must of ran into the woods in the backyard.
I woke up early with all the loud noise of the big machines.

Hubby is driving to work in Tampa this week., comes home very tired and hungry.
Made him a refreshing salad, Romain lettuce, tomato a little chicken and avocado. A dressing of olive oil, lemon with parsley and Oregano.
Those ice cream cakes look delicious, I can’t remember when was the last time I had one. Must of been a good while. I do enjoy a good ice cream in the Summer. That’s something I don’t make myself. I have made it in the past, but it’s been a long while.

I too hope Oodiebom is well and just a bit busy.

Enjoy your evening 😊, I love the long days of Summer. Full Moon is on the 3rd, oh boy, couple that with the 4th. 😀
Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Good afternoon to you. Rainy day in the ‘burgh🌧 so I don’t think I will be venturing out for ice cream cake. But I do have ice cream and pie! I am gaining weight just looking at all your cakes and getting ready to lick the screen.👅

Not much happening this week, it will be a hot weekend.🔥 Depending on how I feel and what comes up, may have to go take a dip in mom’s pool. I’m sure many will be taking a long weekend for the 4th.🎆✨🎇

Enjoy your day, evening and ice cream cake day. My door is open so send any leftovers, all flavors are welcome. Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Dumbing Ourselves Down

When we dumb ourselves down, we sell ourselves short and lose an opportunity to shed light where it is needed.

The ability to go into any social situation and sense the level of consciousness in it is a gift. It enables us to move considerately through the world. However, there is a difference between shifting our energy to accommodate people and dumbing ourselves down to a regrettable degree. Sometimes, when we get into a particular social situation, we may feel pressure to play it small in order to fit in. Perhaps everyone is drinking or smoking excessively, engaging in gossipy small talk, or complaining bitterly about politics. It is one thing to notice this and modify our expectations and another thing entirely to join in.

When we notice where people are coming from and acknowledge, to ourselves, that their energy is not in alignment with ours, we have choices about how to proceed. One viable option is to quietly endure the situation, keeping to ourselves until it is time to leave. In this way, we take care of our own consciousness and protect our growth process. Another option is to interact in a way that honors and pays respect to the people in the group, while gently attempting to shift the level of consciousness with our input. In order to do this, we must maintain our own vibration, which means that joining in by dumbing down is not an option.

When we choose to dumb ourselves down to fit in, we not only sell ourselves short but we also lose a possible opportunity to influence the situation for the good. Our desire to join in may come from our natural yearning to feel connected to the people around us. There is no shame in this, but being able to stand on our own, separate from the crowd, is a powerful milestone on any spiritual path. It can be difficult in the moment, but when we arrive on the other side, our integrity intact, we may find ourselves feeling positively smart. AMEN! ✨🌹😎

Two of our favorite things are celebrated each year on National Ice Cream Cake Day on June 27, and we are salivating at the thought! The perfect sweet treat for just about any occasion, this ice cream filled with layers of cake is the perfect dessert for a hot summer day (or any day of the year, really). Get excited about this amazing union of frozen yumminess with us.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL ICE CREAM CAKE DAY

No one knows for certain who came up with the ice cream cake or even when it originated. Multiple theories abound about this invention. Some food historians believe the sixteenth century was when the initial versions of the ice cream cake came to be. Others think Victoria Era desserts called ‘Bombes’ — which were made of ice cream and fruit and sometimes contained cake or biscuits — were the inspiration for the ice cream cake. Yet others believe wealthy English lords and ladies, who could afford treats like this, invented the ice cream cake. One more version of events attributes the trifle as being the first version of the ice cream cake; the theory is that since sponge biscuits were used to keep the ice cream in the trifle in place, they are the initial version of the ice cream cake. These earlier variations are not the current dessert we all know and love, however. The current design includes a cake that is baked and then cooled, and ice cream is added after to create the finished dish. Some companies even decorate this for an added flourish. These cakes gained in popularity over the years, but they only became affordable after World War I.

The day itself has a very inspiring thought behind it. Mum-of-three Johanna Jurado passed away in an accident two months before her 32nd wedding anniversary, which was in June. Like any family, the Jurados went through a whole period of grief and then acceptance, learning to live their new normal. Unlike many others, the Jurado family chose to respond to this tragedy by marking a special day in honor of Johanna Jurado. Johanna loved celebrating fun new special ‘days,’ and she believed ice cream cake made any celebration better. So, Johanna’s youngest daughter, Jenna, came up with a brilliant idea. She, along with Cupcakes for a Cause, petitioned to have June 27 — also her mother’s birthday, called National Ice Cream Cake Day. These celebrations have been held ever since that day three years ago and have proven to be very therapeutic for the entire Jurado family.
