@loaf,

I think of you often and you are missed stay safe my friend. ✨🌹

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida and I hope all is well with you. 🌹✨😎

This is a new thread due to glitches somewhere in the universe. LOL!

Out daughter is back on her feet and I am so relieved about that we have told
her to mask up in the future when out in a large crowd. The Covid-19 Beast
is not gone.

Oz is in triple digits again. I hope it is cooler there in your part of Florida.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida and welcome to the new Conversation Thread.
This is number 20 of the series some of my threads can last up to two years. 😎✨

Moving forward from the glitches. Oodie I hope your A/C is working alright it is too hot
to be without a full working A/C.

I know tomorrow is a special day for your husband. 🌹✨Oodie it will be a busy day for you.

Let me know how things are going for you today.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California wishing you a good day and hike. ✨😎

How is your son doing? I know he is full of stories of adventure while out of the
country. Taci our middle daughter went to Boston this morning she will be there
for a week.

Our youngest daughter just beat Covid-19 and is getting her life back to normal.
It really knocked her off her feet and almost did me in too. I am a mama bear when
it comes to our four children. 😎✨

Everything is peachy keen hey Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@shoelady60,

How are things in the ‘burgh? ✨✨OZ is super hot and Mr. Poppy is wearing his
little shoes outside. LOL!

Safe travels to your mother and sister on their Cruise. 😘💕🌹😎

Hey welcome to the new thread. ✨✨

ENJOY! 💕🌹

Blowing a cool hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 💕😘

@kittengirl,

Good day in California and may this day finds you doing well. 💕🌹

Co-Creating with Nature

To co-create, we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect.

Gardens offer us a perfect opportunity to reconnect to our true selves and remember our place in the natural world. Rather than approach our gardens as mere investments of energy, we can look at the entire process of gardening, from planting seeds to harvesting food, as a way of deepening our conscious relationship with the creative force of the universe. If we are willing to shift our intention from dominating, or at least directing nature, to co-creating with nature instead, we may discover a deep peace and renewed sense of wonder.

To co-create we must first begin with a foundation of mutual respect. As you create your garden in partnership with nature, you can respect the earth, water, insects and animals by using organic seeds, soil and fertilizers. You can also communicate with the plants, insects and elements involved in your garden, and create a regular practice of stillness to listen for any messages they may have for you. When it comes time for harvesting fresh vegetables or picking beautiful blooms, you might even ask permission first. If you ask with an open heart, you will always receive an answer.

Imagine what it would be like to surrender certain aspects of your human world to the precision and surety of the natural environment. You might decide, for example, to forego your calendar and plant in rhythm with the cycles of the moon. Or, you might choose to ignore clock time and water your garden when the sun hits a certain position in the sky. By opening your garden experience to more of nature’s input, you can become available to witness a whole universe of miracles, while engendering a greater sense of honor between the two worlds.

When we recognize ourselves as allies, co-creators, with the earth and the natural world, our relationship to our environment begins to change. We no longer feel the need to control the circumstances around us and can relish in the perfection of all that is. AMEN! ✨✨

@sheba2011

Thanks for the new thread. Hope #20 works well and a little longer.🤞

Went to Olive Garden with mom and sis for our pasta fix.🍝 Ate too much, could hardly make it up the stairs. They are driving to Baltimore Saturday, cruise leaves on Sunday.🛳 If all goes as planned, they will be back here next Saturday.

Hope you and twinkle toes are taking it easy and staying cool. That perfect vision of my step-child warms my heart.💗 Hugs and love.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

I am having Reptcha is a problem again. sigh I hope you see this.

Have a good evening.

@shoelady60

Think your mom and sis shourd watch the tropics. Looks like the cruise may be a bit bumpy. Right now there is a tropical storm that may turn into a hurricane going towards Bermuda. If that’s the course, it will be there during their vacation. After last year I do not take anything for granted. They are nothing like the ones we see North.

Sheba, hello and good evening. Congratulations on #20!
(i know the glitch did it but it’s still a nice accomplishment )
It’s great your daughter is in Boston. Not sure if this is the one who was in HI as well but it’s great to travel at their age. I never even thought to do so at a younger age as I was always working back then to pay rent and all those LA cost of living expenses. My son did have some adventures and really enjoyed his trip. I think he wants to plan another trip soon.

Glad your youngest is out and about and recovered from Covid!

@sheba2011

Just read that one of your daughter’s is spending a week in Boston. Boston is our old stomping grounds and hubby and I usually bus it from the Cape. We love walking around and seeing the new sights and oh yes, the old. The trip is only an hour and a half from Hyannis and should be shorter, but, always bumper to bumper traffic. There is always so much to see and do. Love Faneuil Hall which is part of Quincy Market. On Saturdays, across from Quincy, you have what is called Haymarket Square. It’s an all outdoor market where you can purchase fresh veggies, fruit, etc. In the afternoon you have the hawkers selling their wares. Prices go downward. In my college days, I used to go on Saturdays to purchase fruit and veggies and bring it back to t he dorm. I had a fire escape right outside my window and that is where I kept all my delicious items. It’s a wonder that they stayed out there without a problem from wild animals or birds. Then there is the Esplanade which leads you to the Charles River and to the “Shell.” The Boston Pops used to have a weekly show during the summer and sometimes in t he fall. I always enjoyed the Boston Gardens, though never partook of the swan boat ride. Tell your daughter that there are many that stand on a box of sorts and yak away all day. Boston Harbor have many fine restaurants. The smell of the sea abounds the area and the food is fresh and awesome. Oh how I miss Boston.

I still do not have a normal A/C, though today is the first time I have seen it below 80 in over a week. The techs have not been back and hopefully, they will today. I hope they make it early because I will be leaving here as soon as possible to be with hubby. Hubby also has an eye doctor appointment this morning. The ophthalmologist is there once per month. I left the MV forms with the head nurse for the physician to complete. One day next week I will make an appointment with the Optical Outlets for new frames for both of us.

Love the new furniture. Now looking for a loveseat to go with it. Now I will be able to read outside not only on the lanai, but also near our front door. It will be good to have visitors dropping in and have places to sit and have a good chat.

I think I finally have decided on a Microwave. Will take a look at my number one choice today and have it delivered and installed next week.

Have a great day. Not sure about Trivia. Someone may have to start it. This all depends upon how soon everyone shows up and I can leave and make a stop at the Farmer’s Market.

@Sheba🌻🌻🌻🌻

Hello Sheba, I hope you are well.
Yesterday was so hot, walking outside felt like waking into an oven.
Today is somewhat cooler, humidity not so high.
I had a few more appointments, and Monday I have more.
We did get some rain, but it’s still very dry.
We put out some water, and some old fruits for the bunny and the Opossums.
Tonight I saw three baby Opossums and one baby bunny all eating together.

Take care Sheba 🌹

Have a slice it’s national Peach Pie Day and welcome to the new Conversation 20 Thread. ✨🌹😎

Good day in Florida. I am wishing you the best of luck with your medical appt.
I have all of mine coming up in December this for the routine cancer check and
annual physical plus the mammogram.

Hey just take it easy today perhaps I will see you in Trivia. 😎OZ is in triple digits

Stay cool my friend. 🌹✨

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕🌹✨Oodie I see you have a lot on your
plate. I everything goes well today for your husband. ✨💕

I want to wish him a very Happy Birthday. I am sure he would love some Ice Cream.

Oodie how are you doing? Glad you like the new outdoor furniture. Seems like everything
is coming together. 😘

I just want you to take a breather when you can and stay cool it is hot all over.

I am wishing your husband a very happy birthday and many happy and healthy returns. 🌹

@taci,

Good day in S. California. Daughter is safe in Boston for a full week. 😎✨This is not

over. This daughter has also been to Turin, Italy and Florence, Italy and had the time
of her life. 😘🌹I have encouraged my kids to travel. I traveled a lot back in the day
and then some. 💕😎

Hey happy trails if you are able to hike. 🎶🎶Today is Oodiebom’s hubby birthday. ✨✨

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Mr. Poppy and I are keeping cool by walking very early
in the morning. I put his little shoes on in the evening as the ground is still warm.

Wishing you a nice day I hope your mother and sister have a great Cruise. 💕😘

Join me in wishing Oodiebom’s husband a nice birthday. 😎🌹

@kittengirl,

Kitten thinking of you today and everyday. ✨

Knowing When to Let Someone Go

Knowing when to end a relationship and acknowledging that the pain will pass can often prevent greater pain in the long run.

Just as a good relationship can have a positive impact on your life, stressful, draining, or imbalanced relationships can have negative effects on your health and well-being. It’s common to maintain a relationship because we feel the other person needs us or we believe that they will eventually change. We may also be afraid of hurting the other person or feel insecure in our ability to find new relationships. But knowing when to end a relationship and acknowledging that the pain will pass can often prevent greater pain and feelings of loss in the long run.

If you’re in a relationship that isn’t satisfying or one that has become unhealthy for you, rather than spending energy attempting to fix the problem or complaining, ask yourself what you really want from the relationship. Consider whether the other person truly considers your feelings or if they are willing to change their behavior. Ask yourself if you’ve often thought about ending the relationship or if you feel your bonds have atrophied. While every relationship has ups and downs, when there are more downs than ups or the two of you are bringing out the worst in each other, it may be time to sever the connection. Be honest with yourself and your answers, even if the truth is painful.

Relationships thrive on honesty, communication, mutual caring, and time spent together. When one or more of these elements are missing, it may be that the relationship, no matter how passionate, simply isn’t worth it. It’s far better to end a relationship that doesn’t feel right than to hold on to it and languish in feelings of anger or resentment. Moving on without struggle, on the other hand, can be the door that leads you to a more nurturing relationship in the future.

AMEN! ✨✨

@oodiebom

Happy Birthday Mr. Oodiebom and many, many more! Wishing you all the best and hope you had a wonderful day.🎈🎁✨🎂

@sheba2011

What a good crowd you had in Trivia tonight. Thanks for taking it over. If it’s any consolation, I am beginning to have some problems as well. The Wi-Fi goes in and out. RECAPTCHA keeps asking the same things over and over again. If it isn’t traffic lights, then it’s cars, or maybe bicycles are in your future. I think on each one I had to look at five or six different segments. A few of those pictures were horrid to look at. Too fuzzy, almost as if they wanted you to miss a picture or two.

Hubby has improved quite a bit. There is a huge difference between the time he started rehab and today. You cab actually see the fog lifting. Amazing.

I may not have A/C for another week. There is also a potential for either a tropical storm or hurricane for next week. I am watching the tropics and amazed how many storms are forming off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic.

I am now going to call it a night. I’m a little tired and I still need to go out to the car to bring the leftover meal into the house and refrigerator. Leftovers tomorrow for sure. Have a great evening and your walk with Poppy in the moonlight.

and that makes me a happy gal. 😘💕🌹✨

I am going to buy fall flowers to plant. 💕Hey you and hubs enjoy this weekend.

As you know Dog Day is everyday on this thread and that includes Cats. 😘💕✨

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎💕Oodie you had a nice crowd in Trivia last night. ✨
I am so glad everyone had a good time. 🌹

I want to wish your husband a very happy birthday and I hope you have some fun even
playing a game or having a nice meal will do until he is back on feet.

I hope all the contractors show up that needs to be there today.

Oz is a little cooler today and that is a good thing. Meanwhile in Boston daughter is have
a good time and it’s her best friend who was born and bred there. So much to do there.
I would love to go to Boston and Cape Cod. ✨🌹

I know you miss that area. Oodie wishing you a nice Saturday and hopefully some rest.

I know you love Pooches and then some. 💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I hope your area is back to basics. 😎✨

Wishing you a nice weekend with the family. Oz is cooler today and Poppy is loving
it.

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶Taci very sad day Bob Barker has passed my mother loved

Lady every day is Dog Day on this Thread. 😎✨

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten in California wishing you and your family a nice Saturday. ✨✨

@sheba2011

Happy Saturday to you. You are right, every day is dog day for us!🐶💗

Sis called, they made it to Baltimore safely. Having a lot of computer problems today. Everything is either slow or not loading, sigh. I have a wedding late afternoon/evening so don’t have a lot of time to try and fix it. I hope when I turn it off it fixes itself. Always something…….

Glad you are in the cool down phase, looks like a nice week ahead for us. Hugs and kisses to you and Poppy.🤗💖🥰

@shoelady60,

Good evening and I hope you are enjoying your evening. Oz had a breather today and one
tomorrow. ✨🌹💕I am enjoying it.

I have been reading and on the phone talking to many family members. 💕🌹

I still leave food for the critters to enjoy. I am going to take a nice Perlier Shower
and call it a night.

Here’s looking at you kid and I hope you mom and sis are having a ball on their Cruise. 🌹

Sheba, just heard Bob Barker died on the radio. So sad.
Things are all good here Hurricane-wise. It was a mild tropical muggy storm, and not too bad here. Did you hear from your friend in Palm Springs?
It’s too hot for me to hike today. I’m going to read my book.
Sheba, hope your daughter is enjoying her vacation in Boston. Great your kids travel.
Speaking of your daughter traveling to Italy, an early fyi but I won’t be posting in October.
I am tired just thinking about it.
How’s Poppy and friends? Hope you get to CO soon.

@taci,

Good evening yes I did hear from my Professor Friend and he is doing alright.
Taci we talked for over an hour today then he had to drive toward LA.
Palm Springs had so much rain coming the Mountains he said. The friend has a
swimming pool and was smart enough to put a drain in so when the pool fills to
capacity the drain let it flow into the sewer line.

A lot of people don’t have it done in that part of California because of the cost.
There was no damage to his property and he did see devastation in his area.
Also he said some Insurance Companies will drop some Policy Holders. Oh Snap!

Daughter’s friends lives near the Boston Harbor and they are going to P Island somewhere
near Cape Cod tomorrow. ✨

I am planning our trip to Colorado almost and I will still post but I will be with my mother.💕🌹

I hope you have a great time in October my neighbor Professor is doing alright and she
has every intention of returning to Greece as soon as she heals and she said the plan is
to leave again in the spring she is still having walking issues you don’t do Europe and can’t
walk.✨ My sister lived in Germany with my nephew and she said those streets were
something else she had no issues because well she was and is younger. I had an older
friend an RN and she said she would not go back to Germany because of all the walking
and her brother and his wife live there.

My niece is at College in the Chicago area tender age of 17 years old and missing home
already I know my brother and his wife are having growing pains. Sigh I know exactly how
they feel. 💕

Oz felt really nice today. 💕I finished Where The Crawdads Sing very good book. I have
Taylor Swift Soundtrack on my playlist. 💕✨I can sing that song just as well. 😎

Oodie, Happy Birthday to Mr. Oodie! Hope he had a great day and wishes for a happy healthy year ahead.🍦🍦 🍦 🍦 🍦 🍦
Stay cool!

@sheba2011

Good afternoon. I did see hubby yesterday and he was in real good spirits. I brought two full freezer bags with me just in case. Yes, I made it to the Farmer’s Market and spent some time looking (more than an hour). They had something new in apples and bought a plastic container full. These were very tiny, almost the size of a crabapple, and of course very hesitant in a purchase. That was, until the manager of the market came around and explained that it was truly an apple and sweet. I also bought two 20 0unce containers of cubed watermelon that were on sale along with a container of honeydew. Also purchased a small container of mixed fruit and two ready made salads for me and a lobster roll (sweet and delicious). That was the beginning. Oh, they had the hot hot mango salsa. I needed a fix. Also found an Italian grinder for hubby that was full to the brim. Once I was done and paid for everything I put the items that needed refrigeration into the coolers. Again, thankfully, I had D-Best with me. To carry the load would have been impossible.

Hubby’s eyes popped when he saw the huge assortment. First thing he tried was the small container of fresh fruit. He ate almost the whole thing. Then he took a few bites of the grinder. But the watermelon stood out. No, he had to try the small apples. He loved them. So I put a few in a paper bowl for whenever. He was on cloud nine. And, as it turned out, he passed on dinner. I did have Kindle with me, but he was too absorbed with food. So I will bring it today.

Yes, I am watching the tropics. I think it’s Franklin who is heading towards Bermuda. It just may pass that area, but there is still a possibility of high winds and flooding. I did warn shoelady60. If anything, they may be in port when this thing hits, or else the cruise ship will be going elsewhere to avoid the storm. These are the months that I do not go anywhere, unless I’m in New England. I learned that lesson the hard way last year. And I am still frustrated with the roofer I had last year. No replies on my last dozen or so e-mails pertaining to the downspout and overhang on one side of the lanai. The lanai person should be here prior to the storm to at least install a downspout or two. –

Hope you have a great day. Stay cool.

Carolina
Song by Taylor Swift

Oh, Carolina creeks
Running through my veins
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Lonesome I’ll always stay
Carolina knows
Why for years I roam
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Carolina knows
And you didn’t see me here
No, they never did see me here
And she’s in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don’t leave
I make a fist, I’ll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Carolina stains
On the dress she left
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Blue as the life she fled
Carolina pines
Won’t you cover me?
Hide me like robes down the back road
Muddy these webs we weave
And you didn’t see me here
No, they never did see me
And she’s in my dreams
Into the mist, into the clouds
Don’t leave
I’ll make a fist, I’ll make it count
And there are places I will never ever go
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Oh
Oh
Oh
And you didn’t see me here
They never did see me here
No, you didn’t see me here
They never saw me
Oh, Carolina knows
Why for years they’ve said
That I was guilty as sin
And sleep in a ‘s bed
But the sleep comes fast
And I’ll meet no ghosts
It’s between me, the sand, and the sea
Carolina knows

What a beautiful smile both her and her husband David Bowie. 🌹

@loaf,

Miss you much dear friend just be well. 😎✨

@xango,

Good afternoon in sunny Florida. I am wishing you good vibes for your medical visits
this week.

I would just relax and enjoy the day with your husband and I hope you got some rain.

OZ is cooler today and we had just enough rain it was very dark all morning.

I did dance in rain. ✨💕

Wishing you a good week. 🌹😎

@oodiebom,

I am so glad your husband had such a healthy appetite. I think he was just hungry for the foods
he is used to eating. I hope you have a great day.

Oz is alright today as we are in the low 80’s and had some rain. 😎✨🌹

Our daughter is having a blast in Boston. The last time I spoke to her they were planning
a trip to P-Town you may know where that is. I love the Boston area. ✨

I am about to run some errands with hubby hey Oodie slow down a bit.

I see why you love Boston our daughter sent some beautiful pictures from there. 💕

@taci,

Good afternoon in S. California enjoy this day and your book. ✨😎

I did respond to your post from last night and my friend is doing fine in Palm Springs. 💕🌹

I am getting ready to run some errands with hubby. ✨ Oz is alright today.

This is how I travel hey Happy Trails. 🎶🎶

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Lady when you hear from your sis and mom let me know
how the Cruise is going. 😎

Hey just enjoy the day I am in the wind today. ✨

Blowing cool vibes to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎🌹

@kittengirl,

Good day Kitten in California may this day be a good one for you and the family. ✨✨

@sheba2011

Computer working a little better today, happy for that since I’m too tired to mess with it.😕

Lots of fun at the wedding yesterday. Great food, music, decorations and friends.👰🤵 Haven’t been to one in a while so something different for a change.

Talked to sis today, the cruise was changed from Bermuda to the Bahamas due to the hurricane. They don’t mind, mom and sis are just glad to be away.🛳 They’ve been to all the islands so sometimes they don’t even get off the ship. They are “go with the flow” people.😊

Looks like great weather for us most of the week. 70’s during the day and comfy at night.👍 Hope you are getting some of that also. I’m tired of the heat.🔥 Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖 Wonder how long it will take me to post this???

@shoelady60,

Hey as long as they are safe and having a good time. I am a go with the flow type person
I try to make the best of everything when things go awry. All good I hope they dance and have
fun all night long. 😎✨

Hey take a good look at the Moon tonight I am waving. 😘✨

Sheba, Happy Sunday. Yes, I saw the note. glad your friend in PS is doing well. Maybe connecting to the sewer line wasn’t an option back in the day? It’s a great idea if you live with torrential downpours and what not. It’s hard for people here who live in certain areas to get fire insurance even when they have had it for decades or in some cases the price goes up significantly. Isn’t it much lighter later into the night in Boston?
Yesterday I watched a humming bird go to each pink flower in one of my pots. It was cool.

Never been to Greece but yes there is a lot of walking with these overseas vacations. Even if you don’t plan to walk one must walk to the train station, then going down steps, through windy door traps, more steps, more winding walking pathways, getting to the train etc… I didn’t see any older folks or handicapped but at one place there was a reserved car for pregnant people and strollers, elders, and handicapped. I even commented to hubs in Paris that we seemed to be one of the older people on the train and that one didn’t have lots of walking. I do about double my steps when traveling without trying, haha. Hubs says we will be a 15 minute walk from the train station, there will be steps, and it rains a few days a month in October. Lucky your sister lived in Germany and experienced it while younger. I bet they had some great times.

@taci,

I love to walk as long as the shoes are comfortable. I think you can take on anyplace you
go and leave people in dust. 😎✨I mean that in a good way.

@sheba2011

Boston is a delight. Looks like your daughter and friend picked a good day to take a boat ride to Provincetown. It’s the other end of the Cape and about an hour from my home depending upon traffic. So much to do and so much to see. Loads of shops to look for clothing or that right souvenir. Plenty of cafes to choose where to rest those weary feet. Do you remember Bill Green, one of the most revered hosts on HSN? I think he still goes to P*Town every year in July. Normally, hubby and I would take the van and drive down sometime after Labor Day to avoid the crowds. Actually, most places do close down after that weekend and then a few are opened year round. What I miss most on Cape are the sea breezes and opened windows. Oh yes, our deck which runs the length of the house. and the potted flowers and veggies.

I am now getting ready to return to the Rehab. I have things in the frig set up in such a way that it will be easy to get it all together in my small freezer bag. Not sure if I will need th “D-Best” today. Love that cart. Debating about another to use North when we finally get a move on. Enjoy your day and the cooler temps. Don’t forget to take your allergy meds if you are outdoors.

@oodiebom,

I did take my meds I felt a headache coming on but that could be from a lot of things.
Oz is comfortable for a few days then it is back to triple digits. So the next couple of
days I will enjoy.

Daughter is having a great time in Boston. 💕✨

How is your hubby doing today. Oodie he may not notice the BD congrats and that is
alright. I want you to know that the HSN Community thinks of him and we honor him. 🌹

I hope you get some rest and your A/C is back up and running. I know you miss Cape Cod. 💕

Oodie are you in the path of the upcoming Storm? I don’t think I can stand this.

@Sheba🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Hello Sheba, I hope you and your husband had a good weekend.
Glad to hear your daughter did well and has gotten better from Covid.
We had a little rain today. But should be getting lots with the hurricane that’s on it’s way to the west coast of Florida. Ordered some groceries and water, just in case we lose power like last year. It’s still pretty far and it’s never a sure thing until it gets into the hot Florida waters. I hope Oodiebom is getting ready, it’s not something we should wait for the last minute.
I have an appointment tomorrow, getting some results.
The baby Opossums are getting a bit bigger, haven’t seen the baby or adult bunny.
Take care Sheba 🌹

@xango,

Take care and do what you have to at the medical appts I hope you get positive results.

I was wondering if you were in the eye of the storm here we go again.

Glad you are preparing especially if you lose power. I am praying this too shall pass.

Please stay safe during the storm. ✨

Good Morning Peeps here is to beautiful Sunday. ✨😎

Good Morning Peeps keep safe if you are in any affected areas concerning storms.
Wishing our wonderful HSN Community the very best. ✨🌹

NATIONAL RED WINE DAY
On August 28th, National Red Wine Day ushers in the flavors of fall. As the grapes ripen and signal a time for warmer sips, wine drinkers know reds mean tailgating and spicy foods.

National Red Wine Day
Throughout the year, wine days afford us the opportunity to taste and learn about the differences between wines. Earlier this month National Prosecco Day gave us the last bubbly rays of summer. Now we savor the best of the season with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Port, and Syrah.

RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY
Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28th sets aside a day to remember the pet companions we’ve lost.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day
The death of a pet, whether furry, feathered, or an uncommon variety, is felt deeply. They become family and a familiar part of our lives. Mourning their death is different for everyone, and the observance provides a way to help heal the ache of loss.

The pain of loss is real. As each person travels through their grief, we remember the companionship and comfort they provided to us. Don’t forget that part of the relationship included care provided by you. The empty space left by the loss of a beloved pet is sometimes a difficult void to overcome.

Celebrate the home you provided and the joy your beloved pet brought you in return. When you are ready, you will know the time has arrived to find a new ‘critter’ to replace the emptiness felt. There are many animals yet to find a home. In time, you can be their new home. 💕

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida please let me know how your weather is going.

Good luck at your appointments today. I hope the storm will not let you
or anyone else be without power.

Keep safe.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I hope you are safe during the storm.
I don’t know what to say as you have a lot going on.

Please keep in touch when you can all of us just want you and all people affected by
the storm to be safe. ✨✨

Recaptcha is a problem again today.

@taci,

@shoelady60,

Lady Recaptcha is acting up again. Wishing you a nice Monday.

Hope your mom and sister are having fun on their Cruise. 😎😘

@kittengirl,

When Doors Open

Our lives are the result of all the doors we have walked through, and our continued growth depends on our willingness to keep moving into new spaces.

When a door opens, walk through it. Trust that the door has opened for a reason and you have been guided to it. Sometimes we have a tendency to overanalyze or agonize over the decision, but it is quicker to simply go through the door and discover what’s there as that’s the only way to know. Even if it doesn’t seem right at first, opening this door may lead to another door that will take us where we need to go.

Doors open when the time is right for us to enter a new space, metaphorically speaking, and we can have faith that walking through is the right thing to do. Sometimes we linger in the threshold because we are afraid of leaving our old life for a life we know nothing about. We may have voices inside of our heads that try to hold us back or people in our lives saying discouraging things. These voices, internal and external, are known as threshold spirits, and they express all the fears and doubts that arise at the beginning of a new life. Nevertheless, none of these voices can hold us back, and they will fall silent as soon as we cross the threshold.

There are many doors that open in the course of our lives, leading us into new relationships, jobs, friendships, and creative inspirations. Our lives up to this point are the result of all the doors we have walked through, and our continued growth depends on our willingness to keep moving into new spaces. Every time we walk through an open door, we create a sense memory that encourages us to move into the new fearlessly. When we enter the new space, we almost always feel a thrill and a new feeling of confidence, in ourselves and in the universe. We have stepped across the threshold into a new life. AMEN! ✨✨

Sheba, lovely sunflowers, maybe next year i will try to grow a few?
Thanks for the note about walking around. I’m sure you can walk long distances with all the dog walking and such. Generally i am good for 5 miles. After that I get cranky. Guess I won’t be doing any marathons. We have heat advisories so I skipped the walk / hike. Hope all is well. in Oz.
Sounds like FL will have some storms.

@sheba2011

Received a phone call early this morning that hubby will be headed to Central Florida tomorrow morning. I spoke to the head nurse, and as of now, I have no idea where he will be in Central Fl.. All I hope for is that he will be safe. Next phone call a few hours ago was from my physician. My appointment for tomorrow has been cancelled until the end of this month. Oh well, I expected this but the next appointment not so far away Oh well. Tampa International Airport will be closing around midnight tomorrow and I have booked a hotel reservation for two nights. This is just in case the storm lasts longer than expected. I am watching the reports closely and will also fill the tank before visiting hubby. Right now I am OK. Just a wee bit nervous. Wouldn’t be so bad if hubby was with me. I now need to check the lanai and to bring in anything that can hurt the homes next door and across the lake. Still no A/C and maybe that’s a good thing since I will be shutting that down along with the overhead fans. I will send an update when I can. Guess we won’t be seeing the super blue moon.

@oodiebom,

This is my second attempt at leaving you a message due to the ReCaptcha.
This is the only website I have that problem and I don’t know why.

Oodie I am concerned how could they move your husband without your consent? I see
it is an emergency buy at least they can say where they are taking him I mean the exact
hospital he is going to. I understand how you feel now.

Oodie keep those hotel reservation and check in when you can. I am praying this is
not as bad as the last one which you are still recovering from.

Please be safe let me know what you decide to do if you can.

@sheba2011

Good morning. I am getting some things together for the overnight. Bringing some food items for snacks. I probably will stay one night instead of two since this storm will most likely be over and done with by Wednesday afternoon.

I did see hubby last night. Gosh, he was just three hours ago when I left. Filled the tank up on the way home. Hubby will be leaving the rehab center around 6 am or so today for a stay at another rehab facility in Orlando and will return sometime the next day. The Rehab overlooks the Manatee River and though it’s on the bay side, it’s considered to be in a flood zone. This is the first time that the two of us will be separated and he is not a happy person. If he had the ability to walk, he would be home. When this storm is over, I have decided to start with the cleaning process with the lanai and then work towards the carport. The rugs for outside have been rolled up in our living room for months and I need to see what they look like. The wicker furniture needs to be deep cleaned and this is the perfect opportunity to move them outside. I have a person that will come in and power wash the lanai and the carport. loopholes. The new table and chairs will be near the carport. I am now looking for either a settee or loveseat for the same area. It will be an area for getting together or for just the two of us to sit outside with a cold drink and a book.

Looks like the inside of the house will need to be recleaned as well. Oh well. At least I have the Clean Boss which will rid the rooms of germs and Covid. When the house is done, may take a look around for a special furry animal from a nearby shelter. Not sure at this time if it will be a dog or cat or one of each. It will be something to look forward to. My only concern will be the ride North and the return. But as you know I won’t be making that decision until the house is ready and the homeowners association gives the OK. Getting a pet is not that easy even if you have a disability. In my case, hearing loss. There are other alternatives that want me to try. One is having a light go off if someone is at the door or if the phone rings. But, what happens if you are not anywhere near that light source. I could be doing laundry or sitting on the lanai. Guess I will cross that bridge later.

Oh. Almost forgot. Something good happened today. I was removing the small things in front of the house when I felt something touch my forehead. I put my hand up and saw the most beautiful butterfly. It actually kissed my forehead and then flew away. I was hoping it would return, but did not. It was a Monarch. I have to admit that it was very peaceful and serene. It just fluttered across the street and then disappeared.

Guess I will get some shuteye and now that I know what I will bring, will take the overnighter and pack. D-Best is in the van and all set to go if I need it. I will use the Kindle so I can play the games and have fun with a jigsaw or two. I will also let everyone know how I am doing unless we lose electricity. Have a great today and a better tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Iris Apfel. ✨✨

Many healthy and happy returns. 😎🌹

@loaf,

@xango,

Good afternoon I know the weather is rather busy in your area. I am glad you are prepared
and have supplies. Please stay safe and check in when you can. I pray you keep your
power.✨🌹Thinking of you dear friend.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I am glad you got to see your husband.
I know he does not want to be away from you too long. I do hope you check into the hotel
for power and safety. I hate you being alone at a time like this. ✨🌹

Oodie you never know what a storm might do mother nature can be tricky.
Please check in when you can and let me know if you are at your home or in the Hotel.

Praying that you stay safe and no major property damage. I remember when you brought
those rugs you have placed in your living room. So much is going on in your area.

Oodie your State is all over all the major media. I hope this is not as bad as Ian.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I would stay indoors today. Enjoy a good book and hit
the trails when it cools down. 😎✨

Looks like Florida is going to get hit and I am just hoping no major damages.

Taci it is all over the news on every channel on the Telly. Prayers are with the people
of Florida.

Wishing you and your family a cooler day. 🌹😘

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. All this weather is nerve wrecking it is going to hit
parts of Georgia too. Our kids are prepared as you never know what is going to
happen.

How is your mother and sister doing on their Cruise? I would eat and mingle on the Ship.

Lady how are you doing? Oz is cooler today but those triple digits will be back beginning
tomorrow.

Sending a cool hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎✨

@kittengirl,

Wishing you a safe and nice Tuesday in California Kitten. Please be well. 🌹✨

What Makes People Tick?

Many people are very different from ourselves and coming to a place of acceptance can make the road easier.

All people have their own way of being in the world. It is easiest to comprehend this basic yet profound fact when we consider that every human being on the planet occupies a distinct role in the universe. We grow up in different environments, affected by a unique range of influences. The preferences, values, and beliefs we embrace are frequently related intimately to our origins. And the need to individualize our experiences is instinctive, as doing so enables us to cope when we must face challenges on our own. Consequently, each of us has developed a perspective that is uniquely ours. Interacting peacefully and constructively with people from all walks of life is a matter of first understanding where they are coming from. Then we can adjust our expectations so that we avoid making undue assumptions about what they are about.

In the face of emerging interpersonal conflict, it is easy to assume that others are being difficult, unreasonable, or stubborn. We are apt to grow frustrated when someone in our environment does not share our opinions or feel compelled to support us in our endeavors. It is likely that the individual or individuals before us may simply possess differing notions with regard to what is and what is not important in this life. We can ease the tension that exists between us by reaffirming our belief in the fundamental right of all beings to determine their own destinies. To foster a harmonious relationship, we need to do our best to relate to the unique universes they inhabit. And as we discover what makes them tick, our ability to find a mode of interaction that is pleasing to both of us is enhanced.

When there are barriers keeping you from connecting with someone else, think of questions you can ask them to gain a more thorough understanding of their point of view. You may discover that in addition to the differences in perspective dividing you, they are subject to insecurities and other personal issues that influence their way of seeing the world. It is likely that you will never fully grasp the myriad complexities embodied by humanity, but you can go a long way toward encouraging mutually satisfying relations by reaching out to others in the spirit of sympathetic comprehension. AMEN! ✨✨

@sheba2011

Another watch the TV weather day. Seems never-ending this year with major events. I’m weary just watching let alone being part of it.😟 Saying lots of prayers.🙏 We are having a nice week but temps rising over the weekend, may hit 90’s by Monday.

Haven’t heard from mom and sis but probably tomorrow since they will be in port. I have a feeling they may have some rough waters on their return to Baltimore.😕

My neighbor across the road is having heart surgery on Friday so spent some time with him today on the pros and cons. Hope I made him feel better and offered a helping hand for whatever he and his wife may need.🤞

Hang in there, my friend. Prayers again for all our family and friends to our south.🙏💖🙏

@shoelady60,

I just talked to my sister in Georgia and they are raining hard there.

I am saying prayers too. Triple digits will be back by the weekend.

I am wishing you a nice night. 🌹✨

Sheba, to those in FL (Xango and Oodie), stay safe and it sounds like you are all prepared.

@taci,

I will be glad when this storm pass. I know the girls are ready for this.

The world is watching this storm.

@sheba2011

I arrived at the hotel/motel around 2 pm after making a stop at the farmer’s market. Had a huge yen for a meatball grinder and it was on sale this week. Saw they also had a lobster sa!ad roll and could not resist. Happy person I am. Now have meals for two days. No cooking needed.😀😀😀

When I left home it was partly cloudy and continued to be that way when i arrived at the market.. As I exited the market a very light rain with dark clouds coming our way from the ocean. I had time to put everything in the car and be in the driver’s seat before the delugre. Good news it didn’t last long and I was able to see the road ahead without a problem.

Though the storm is following a similar path as ian, it does not carry the same punch. I do not expect any damage but one never knows until the return. It will be mainly a rain event. The wind will be no more than 50 mph at any given time. There will be storm surges along the coastline with some flooding. I signed up for two nights just in case. Using this time as a mini awaycation which I sorely need. Definitely will check the house tomorrow and may visit hubby if he has returned from Orlando.

@sheba2011

Change of plans. Checking out tomorrow by noon. Last time for coastal flooding is 1:30 am. Will check on hubby when I get home. I assume he will be returning after breakfast. 😎😎😎🏜🏜🏝🏝🐩🐩🐈🐈🍉🍉🍌🍌🍓🌽🌽🎶🎹🎹🎵🎼🎼🎷🎻🎺🎙🎤

@oodiebom,

I want you to take a warm shower and go get up in the bed turn to a nice movie or
read a good book and enjoy your eats.

Let tomorrow be what tomorrow will be as far as the storm goes.

Oodie I know this too shall pass. This is your time so enjoy it.

I think your husband will be very happy to see you tomorrow. 💕

@Sheba🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Hello and how are you doing?
Got good results yesterday from the doctor. I stopped in Walmart on the way home. Got some groceries and the Cuban bread I like a lot. Even though I bake bread, I can’t get that bread just right, it’s so fluffy and tastes great. I also had ordered from Kroger to be delivered today. I did modified the order and removed items I got in Walmart. The heavy items such as water, milk etc, I just left for it to be delivered.
I am getting ready for the hurricane, cooking and baking today. Getting the outside ready so nothing flies away. Hubby is in Minnesota visiting his mother. So it’s me and the hurricane, but I am used to this. Had many hurricanes by myself.
Not sure if the power will stay on once the high winds hit us. Last year we lost power.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@xango,

I don’t like you being alone either. I am glad you know how to handle things during these
storm season.

Glad you had a good doctor’s report. YAY! ✨🌹

I am watching this storm play out just stay safe. Check in when you can.

Praying everyone will be alright.

Good Morning Peeps stay safe out there this Tuesday. ✨🌹Praying for those in the storm’s path.
