Good Morning Peeps enjoy this Friday. 😎✨

I know you are in bed and sound asleep. I just happened to pop in. I will need to go to a hotel for the duration. I just hope that they do this during the week when the rates are less and it is easier to find a room. I will treat this as a mini awaycation. Before this happens, though, I need to know where the critters are coming from. The lanai area is done as far as tightening everything up. The holes near the house are gone and fully taken care of. I have a funny feeling that it is coming from the air conditioner area. The tech must have opened the crawl space under the house and neglected to put the chicken wire back. These guys will need to check that area. This is not the first time that the technician left everything opened. He knows better. So far the A/C is still not working and I suspect there is water in that area.

By the way, I love your bed. We have a Queen metal bed that hubby put together incorrectly. The directions were OK. The nails that came with the frame were not the right ones. The entire frame will need to come a part before hubby returns home. I will use just the mattress and store the box spring. This way, if hubby falls again, he will have 14″ instead of 21″. I am looking at air mattresses to go between the bed and the dresser. And, when not in use, under the bed. Hopefully, it will be a very soft landing and this way he can continue sleeping on that instead of the floor.

I do use linens and also quilts. Our quilts are light weight, but still take up some room in our washer. I usually do one at a time and before bringing them to the laundry room< I do a spot check while they are on the bed and spritz. I will be using three quilts. One tan/beige for sand and tIwo blue for the different colors of the ocean. It will be fun putting the bedroom together.

Well, it looks like I will need to be an early bird tomorrow morning. Terminix will be back and this time with another person. I need to be up anyway. It’s garbage and recycle day. A day later because of Labor Day. Gosh, it feels like Labor Day was weeks ago instead of 4 days out.

Hubby was asleep when I arrived, or, faking it. His dinner was on his tray and it smelled heavenly. He didn’t want it, so I proceeded to eat mine. I couldn’t get him interested. Then around 7:30 pm, the nurse happened to come in to take his blood pressure and I mentioned he was asleep. NO, she said, his eyes were opened. She then raised the bed to a sitting position and fed him dinner. He ate everything. Guess I will need to do that tomorrow. After eating he enjoyed watching Public TV. First time in ages that he actually watched a program. He also asked about the new hurricane, Lee. I told him that it could head for our homes in the Northeast and also mentioned that it may be necessary for me to fly out to assess any damage. He said he didn’t want me to return, but, we will wait and see. It’s still too early to make any decisions. I will admit that this storm is scary and has my attention. Praying it will be away from the coast.

I will be going to Costco. Hubby wants their chicken. Says he has a yen. I need other things as well. And, yes, will fill the tank of the van as well. Gas here has gone from $3.79 down to $3.65/gal. It goes up or down on Thursdays.

Guess I better get some shuteye. Hope you three have a great evening. Tomorrow is Trivia and I will get everyone ready before leaving. It was quite warm tonight, but the humidity was down a bit from this afternoon.

@taci,

Good evening you are so right about Marla Wynne I have many pieces and I love her
clothes. I am checking out the pants that look like a skirt I love that look. 😎✨

I would like to thank HSN for shipping all my Korres Stash with Free Shipping.
I got some really good lotions and potions from the Korres sale last week.
I am about to take them all up in my bathroom which has Perlier and Korres
it looks like a Spa and I love it. 💕🌹

I buy extras to put in the kids bathrooms so they use Korres/Perlier as well.

I do miss all our kids and the fun we had on cold winter nights here in OZ.
WE always watched a good Disney Classic Movie. The girls always get in bed
when they come home to visit and Poppy is right there. LOL! ✨🌹 Our son
feels he is older now and sits in the chair or chaise lounge we have have in
our Master Bedroom. I do have a Smart TV and the whole family just have a good
time.

Taci glad your husband went with you on the hike I do not like snakes. I respect them
as long as they keep it moving. ✨

Here is to a nice evening in California.

@oodiebom,

I hope you do get them to do it the right way and you could use the help.
Oodie would you have to stay in the house or go to a hotel for the duration?

Our daughter had a great time in Boston and I guess P-Town near Cape Cod.
So much to see and do. Oodie what an interesting life you have had in the North. ✨✨

I am glad your husband is improving god bless him. Wise of them to get the meds in
him quickly and hope they all work effectively. I would like to see him walk what a great
day that would be for you and we are cheering and praying for that day.

Rest Oodie and I am glad you are remembering your friend. 💕🌹

@xango,

I can’t remember not having a pet or kid in the bed with me and hubby. LOL!
Our two youngest was always in our bed with their cats and of course I had Sheba.

On cold snowy mornings there was no school the kids would grab the animals and when
I woke I had three cats and Sheba and two kids in our king size bed. We would then watch
classic Disney Movies all day on the snow day and weekends Our son did not want to get
in bed with his sisters so he would sit in the chair which was fine. Those were the good
ole days. How I miss them and the animals when hubby came home from trips and work
the kids always went back to their own rooms. The kids will come and lay in our bed
and watch movies with us when they come home and they still have their Queen Size Bed.

I hope your family is having a great time in Brazil I bet it is a good party. 😎💕

Viva Brazil. ✨✨

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening and stay cool and safe. ✨

♥ Nice.

Sheba, A King is a great family bed! My son still managed to snuggle in quite often back in the day. Your bedroom looks lovely and calming! Lots of pillows too. My new favorites are the 2 Shams that match the comforter. The comforter is upstairs waiting for cooler weather.
Hubs went on today’s hike, probably because I told him a snake was out. Snakes and Coyotes will bring him out. It was fun and no critters other than birds and bunnies.

Have a cool evening. Are you planning to watch Marla W. ? I recall you like her clothing.
Glad your hand is feeling better. Burns are not fun. I think most home cooks have burn marks from the years cooking, ha, so I hear.

Terminix was here before 9am. We discussed the possibility of gassing the inside of the house including the lanai and our shed. It will be over a four day and 3 night period. It’s something I really did not want to do but it is a quick way out and they have people that could help me move furniture around etc.. I also need to get all the rooms wheelchair accessible. I am hoping that in the very near future he will get his knee replacement. That will certainly get him to stand upright and to walk. One step at a time. That is what I am trying to do.

Hubby had trouble breathing last night. He was very congested and I do have a nose spray that is saline solution that I use for my sinuses. It works. The nurse last night reminded me of a nurse friend that we met while in the Lion’s club. She was an amazing person. This nurse had the same hair cut, looked a bit like her and had a personality to make you laugh. My friend passed away abou t 4 or 5 years ago from a bleed in some scar tissue that could not be stopped. She was an Army nurse as well and is buried in Arlington. She was a joy to be around and I miss her terribly. Last night was very special and she had my hubby smiling and laughing. It was a special evening for both of us.

I decided not to go to Lowes. The microwave I was interested in is no longer on sale. I will wait until next week to see if it returns to a sale price again. Lowes has a way of taking appliances off and then putting them on again either at a lower price or a higher one. Thank goodness I wrote down the item/model number and the sale price.

The Lasik seems to be working. I was told last night that it is common with pneumonia especially when the patient isn’t walking and is confined to bed. Hopefully, he will be back in the wheelchair or sitting in my chair when I arrive. It will also be easier for him to eat his meals that way as well.

I checked his former room. Nothing has been started as yet, but I understand it will be happening very soon.

I am watching Hurricane Lee. Doesn’t look like it will come up the Gulf coast, but could do havoc to the East with the wind, though that can change. I hope your Stepmom is watching this storm. As of just a few minutes ago, it will go up the East Coast and could take a swipe at New England. I will surely hit the Cape. Our home there is about 2 1/2 miles from the ocean and
6 1/2 miles from the bay side. I could wind up flying into Boston or Providence following the storm and renting a car to check on the two homes. But that is neither here or there at this time.

Glad your hand is feeling better and you are able to use it once again. I will now hit the shower and go see hubby. It’s back to summer here with high temps and humidity.
