Hi and a good evening to you and yours. We had a thunderstorm around 5pm and light rain. Just hope that all this water will potentially give us lower numbers for the drought.

I hope you had good results from your doctor. Which reminds me to get a blood test next week for my upcoming appointment.

I had the A/C tech today. The A/C stopped working and by the time he showed the temp in the house was in the high 801s. It is still that way as I type 8 hours later. I will make a call tonight, though I will not be home after 10:00 AM. Heat index today put us at 99 degrees.

I am enjoying your posts. Think I need to travel to Brazil for those cooler temps.

@kittengirl

I am popping in to wish you a Happy Happy Birthday. I do miss your posts and hearing the kitty stories. I am debating about a pooch and a kitty. Stay well and may you enjoy not only the day prior but all the ones that follow.

I have no idea why the Dragon Fruit is so expensive. We are baying the same price here. It could be some of the plants perished due to the heat and not enough water. I do know that in Florida there are very little being farmed and that could be the reason. I would plant a dragon fruit cacti, but when it starts bearing fruit, the water mice’/rats will start eating them.

I decided to stay home today. Hubby’s appointment is tomorrow and I want to be able to drive and hear the results with him. Rehab has a special van that will take him back and forth. I stopped at Sam’s today to fill up. Was supposed to do that at Costco, but tomorrow will be soon enough. Gas was $3.59/gal. I checked Costco and they were 3.69. Ten cents difference and yet where Costco is, gas seems to be less expensive. Guess not this week.

We had a thunderstorm this afternoon around 5 pm. . The rain was soft which was great for the plants. We are finally getting much needed showers. I will not be doing my rain dance. The last time I tried, we had two hurricanes within two weeks. Anyway, when I went out to get gas at Sam’s I looked to the East and there was a tiny rainbow that showed the slide. I just hope and pray that it will bring good news tomorrow.

Oh, speaking of tomorrow. I will be leaving the house early in the am. Not sure if I will drag Kindle along because of the heat and humidity which is twice as bad in a vehicle. If I decide to make a stop at the Rehab, then I will bring that little thing with me and have hubby watch over it. I do need a stop at Costco, so will bring a hotdog back for hubby along with their soft ice cream.

On my return from Sam’s Club I happened to glance up at the sky. Big, billowy clouds that had many colors. It ranged from a hot pink to a light mauve with some orange colors thrown in. It was a perfect way to end the day. Absolute beauty.

Hope you, Poppy and your hubby have an enjoyable evening. Walk in the moonlight and see if you see a falling star.l Too cloudy for that here. OH well. Maybe tomorrow.

Goodnight to you three and may you have pleasant dreams.

Thank youso much for thinking about Hubby’s appointment tomorrow morning. I hope and pray for good news. His problem is that he doesn’t drink enough liquid. Says he isn’t thirsty. But, you still need a few good sips now and then. Actually my suggestions does fall on deaf ears.

We had a thunderstorm late this afternoon. I needed to fill the gas tank before tomorrow’s appointment and because it was 7:45 pm, decided on Sam’s Club since it is closer. However, they do have long lines and the wait time is at least an hour. Well, at 7:45 pm, I just happened to look at the sky. It was still pretty dark in the East and the sun was still high enough to grant my wish of a rainbow. It wasn’t the entire rainbow, just a downward slide. But it was enough to say there is a silver lining just ahead. Oh, I do hope so. It’s been such a long road. And, he wants home so badly. I just hope I will be able to handle everything. Hoping that I will have help in getting him to his appointments and also into the van. Yes, there are some vans that will take you to the appointment and I suppose I will be using them until such time he will be able to stand and walk on his own.

Funny, we both had an LG microwave. And,oh how I adored mine. Easy to clean inside and out. I will check Best Buy. They installed the LG in our home on the Cape. Unfortunately, I will need to call them when I get back. They installed it incorrectly and consequently the fan does nothing. I made a stop at Lowes yesterday to look at the Whirlpool. No comparison to the Lg. There are a few LGs on sale this week. I will also use your suggestion with Best Buy. I think mine is about the same age as yours. Nothing lasts forever.

I hope your sister and mom enjoy their cruise. So much going on in the Atlantic. I think there are 4 potential hurricanes that are being watched and one more in the Gulf of Mexico. At least that one doesn’t seem to be heading in our direction, but the other 3 have potential. Not liking this one bit.

Take care. Try to stay cool.

@xango,

I am glad you are alright I would just relax tonight. I hope you get a nice mild rain.
Oz is getting warmer some heat index will be around 110 degrees all I can say is ouch!

I do have plans to see my mother always have those plans. 💕✨

I will have breakfast in my mom’s kitchen and when I need to rest I will still post on
this thread just not as much. I have been doing this for years. ✨

I am tired tonight been doing things outdoors getting ready to jump in the shower.
Hubby and I may attend an air show this weekend. I love seeing those majestic planes
in the sky.

This is for our friend Kittengirl wishing her a great birthday. 🌹
Xango I think you were new on this thread Kitten lost her son just days
before her birthday I lost my father days after my birthday and this was all in the
month of August 2020. May they both RIP.

@shoelady60,

Good evening have a great day tomorrow. I have errands to run but will get the
thread up and running. ✨😎

Looks like a busy day on HSN. I hope Kitten has a wonderful birthday weekend.

Here we could all use this drink. 🌹

Peace Out Peeps have a safe and cool evening. ✨✨

@oodiebom

Hi Oodie, wanted to wish you and your husband good luck with his test results tomorrow. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that he will be on his way home.🤞

I just got a new microwave last month. The one that broke was 15 years old and an LG over the range model. I looked at a few models online since it has been so long since I bought one. I wanted to stay with LG so the stainless would match the other appliances. I then just called LG customer help, gave them my old model number and asked what current model replaced the old one. Ordered it sight unseen through Best Buy and it’s perfect. Just a suggestion to maybe make it a little easier for you.

@Sheba🌻🌻🌻🌻

Hello Sheba, We finally got some rain, not a whole lot though.

At the doctor’s office, I had my mask on. No one else wore mask, not the people in the waiting room. Not the receptionists, not the nurses, only the doctor had on a mask.
Also at the Walmart, no people with mask.

We had to rush home, hubby had two meeting he had to attend for work. And work for the rest of the day. After I had something to eat, I took a good nap on the sofa.

So glad you are going to see your mom.
Take care Sheba 🌹

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. Another nice day but it will be heating up again the beginning of the week, temps around 90.🔥

Husband had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon so we stopped and had a late lunch after so no cooking dinner, yay! I have leftover seafood salad if we get the munchies later. Also many bags of snacks and frozen treats so we won’t starve, lol!🤣 Hoping kittengirl had a good birthday.🎂

Running errands tomorrow. Mom and sis getting their nails done next week before the cruise so most likely will join them.💅 So nice that you can be good company for your neighbor. Your time is the best gift.😊 Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Opening a Closed Connection

If you feel abandoned or cut off from Spirit, know that it is always there for you waiting for you to plug back in.

There may be times when we feel like our connection to the universe is closed. Maybe things don’t seem to be going well in our day, or our lives, or we may feel out of our element. The truth is, the universe is always there for us. We know that we create our experience with our thoughts, and this is another way we need to make a conscious decision about how we want to experience life. It is up to us to do the work of making the connection, because nobody can do it for us, though sometimes the universe may send us wake-up calls.

You can think of it as getting some fresh air. We are always breathing and the air is always around us, surrounding us, moving through us. But we may need to step outside of where we are in the moment — physically, mentally, or emotionally — and make the conscious choice to take a deep breath in order to feel the air coming in and going out. Whether this means stepping outside physically or merely shifting our thoughts, it is only our perception that changes; the air remains the same.

It is just as easy to reconnect with the universe. Using the same technique as a breath of fresh air, a deep breath can bring us back to our center. As we inhale, we fill our bodies with the oxygen needed to replenish our most basic physical needs, allowing the air to circulate within us. Exhaling, we release the stale, the used, the potentially toxic air, removing any blocks that may keep us from going deeper into the stillness that lies at our center where we connect to the universe. Feeling closed off does not need to be a negative experience. When we become conscious of it, we can think of the wholeness of a closed circuit, which allows electricity to connect and flow properly. Our bodies work the same way, and when we make that connection in our minds, it can help bring us back to the connection we seek. AMEN! ✨✨
