Hi. I am home. Took longer because hubby needed a few things before I left. I normally do not leave this late and I must admit it is pretty scary when you are driving alone. At least when I get home the lights automatically go on and there is one inside as well. My neighbor gave me the high sign that she was concerned with me coming in very late. I will be seeing her tomorrow.

The Dbest trolley is a godsend. Since the middle of February I have been bringing care packages for him and his roommate. I was throwing everything into one of my nylon bags that I use for grocery shopping along with another shopping bag with utensils and paper plates and a book I was reading. Oh yes, I also brought soda, water and fruit. Then, also my purse. And once or twice per week clean laundry. I didn’t realize until yesterday, when I opened the package, that it had so much room and then some. Best part I was able to get it into and out of the car without a problem. I feel like a person at leisure when I sign in as a visitor at the reception desk and then roll away to hubby’s room instead of dragging a myriad of stuff behind me. It will be fun trying the bottom portion when I purchase the bottles of water from Costco. I will probably do 10-12 bottles at a time and it will be ever so easy to easily go up the 3 steps to the house. And to think I was going to try a metal cart without the insert for the care packages and other items. Of course I would have needed a bungee cord to keep everything together. This will also be useful when I shop at the Farmer’s Market. One of my best purchases, ever.

Ode to Billie Joe
Song by Bobbie Gentry

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin’ cotton, and my brother was balin’ hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, y’all, remember to wipe your feet
And then she said, I got some news this mornin’ from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas
Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please
There’s five more acres in the lower forty I’ve got to plow
And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And brother said he recollected when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn’t I talkin’ to him after church last Sunday night?
I’ll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don’t seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now ya tell me Billie Joe’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And mama said to me, child, what’s happened to your appetite?
I’ve been cookin’ all morning, and you haven’t touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge
A year has come and gone since we heard the news ’bout Billy Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going ’round; papa caught it, and he died last spring
And now mama doesn’t seem to want to do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin’ flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

@xango,

This is what I dream about oh yeah we will go on a vacation after our Colorado Trip. 😎😘

Enjoy the rain I would dance in it.

Hello from a awesome rainy afternoon into evening. I was keeping an eye out for the Hibiscus 🌺 that are full of buds to see if I had to water them. And today it rained, lots of thunder and rain for a good while.
There a frog in front in the bushes or in the plants that just sings away. It has been singing all through the rain and it’s very loud. I think it’s a tree frog, it sounds like it’s a small barking dog and very loud😄😄😂.

She you and your hubby deserves a good vacation, perhaps after you visit your mom. You and your husband can go to the beach on a vacation. Save some time for that, and go. Life is just so short, and we never know what’s around the corner.
Florida has lovely beaches, starting in the North of Florida all the way down both East and West. I hope you will be able to get away into that blue Ocean. One thing is visiting, on vacation and not living on it so no worries about hurricanes 😀

Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹

We just had a huge downpour and, hopefully, my route to hubby will be without flooding. Our side yard is a mess because I just saw where a downspout would have gone along with an overhang that should have been erected at the time our roof was done. Not to worry. I contacted the contractors and maybe they will be out soon to repair that area. I’m not holding my breath, but this month does begin the hurricane season.

I purchase the Dbest cart from HSN over the weekend and it arrived yesterday. Took no time to put the wheels on and secured the bag. I then used another bag with my book and new cookbook called “Sunday Soup.,” plastic ware and napkins. Then bought Asian takeout and when I reached the rehab put the bags into the cart and rolled the thing into Rehab. It was so easy. I used the umbrella area for a couple of bottles of water. It even had room for my purse. I was amazed. No heavy lifting or dragging involved. Signed in and proceeded to roll down the hallway to hubby’s room. His eyes popped opened and he made me twirl the thing around and around. When I showed him how to carry the water to the house, that amazed him the most. Not one thing spilled and no heavy lifting. Amazing. Of course I will be using it again today for the leftovers.

I did the setup for Trivia. I just wish that FBN would sign in and let us know he is OK. Or, give his entry and password to someone so they can say Hi and that FBB is OK. I thought things would be a bit different since we have not heard or seen anything from Velveteen Rabbit. I just hope and pray that her backache was not the beginnings of something more serious. Yes, I hope to show up sometime tonight. Funny, I don’t mind driving in snow, a blizzard, or during a freezing rain or sleet event. But show me lightning and hearing the loud claps of thunder, I freeze.

I did feel for hubby’s roommate. What I didn’t know was how frightened anc concerned he was not only for himself but for me also. Seems the roommate had spent many years behind bars. This I knew when hubby and I were in an area by ourselves. What he didn’t tell me was the why. I do know now and for some reason I feel no fear. He was a nice person from day one. And when I saw that no one brought him anything or visited. Well, my heart sunk. He was very appreciative and he was there for my hubby when he needed a nurse or someone to help him into bed. He moved into a house nearby. I just hope and pray that he will be OK. That’s all I ask.

See you later. Have a great bike ride tomorrow with hubby. Hope you have a basket for Poppy.
Maybe you will see your cats on route. Some treats may come in handy.

I don’t know about you but I am in big trouble.😮 National Donut Day did not pass me by. Went down to our local market this morning and came home with a dozen hand picked!!!🍩 My husband said “whoa”, proceeded to eat two and I had one. Asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said donuts!🤣 May have to freeze some so we aren’t bouncing off the walls.

Congrats on the win, I see the Nuggets are the favorite.👍 Good luck ahead.🤞✨

The heat is on and so is the A/C.🔥 We haven’t had any rain for 12 days which is very unusual for the ‘burgh. Spent some time outside watering all my flowers.🌺🌼🌸 Enjoy your summer evening.🤗💖
