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.

Hi, so glad your hand wasn’t burn much, and that is better now.
As for me, I’m a pro at burning myself in the kitchen 😀.
Almost every time I bake something, or cook in large pots. It could be as little as just leaning against or touching the side of a hot pot, or actually touch some parts of the oven. That’s why I have plenty Oleo Vera, both inside and outside of the house. It’s such a miracle plant, I also use for cuts and scraps even sores in the mouth is good for.
I will let you know how my cousin’s son is doing, pulling information out of him is like pulling teeth 😬.
Today it’s a holiday in Brazil, it’s their Independence Day.
The whole family is getting together to celebrate not only the holiday but also the cousin visiting from Portugal. They are having a huge barbecue, lots of food, music and laughter oh how I wish I could be there.

Sheba that’s a lovely confy bed, I too have a king size bed. We first got a king size bed back in 1985 before getting married 😀. A bed room set and a car. It was a Scandinavian Teak wood platform bed. Then when we moved from Virginia to Florida we purchased our first single family home in 1989, that’s when interest rates were 7.5 for mortgages. We could only afford a 1,473 sqft. house build from the ground and I was able to select the flooring, kitchen, baths etc. Because we had a king bed the headboard would go from window to window left side and right side 😆 covering part of the windows. We retained that house until 2017, we had it as a rental property after 1993 when we moved to Orlando. Our plan was to rent an apartment for the three years hubby had duty in Orlando. But rent was extremely high for apartments, that we ended up buying a Spec house. Since it was already built I wasn’t able to pick the colors, kitchen and so on. But I made up for that, we built a house in Orlando in 1999 and decided to stay as I worked in SunTrust Bank and hubby commuting from Jacksonville when his ship came back to port.
I like Autumn 🍂, it’s a beautiful time of year. Kind of like what spring does after a harsh Winter. Autumn 🍂 gives a break from the heat to enjoy the outdoors. I miss Autumn, here in Florida where I live we don’t get to have it. Today the temperature is 94, the evenings in the mid seventies.

Take Care Sheba 🌹

Grateful

There is always something to be grateful for, even when life is hard and times are tough.

Everyday is a blessing, and in each moment there are many things that we can be grateful for. The world opens up to us when we live in a space of gratitude. In essence, gratitude has a snowball effect. When we are appreciative and express that gratitude, the universe glows a bit brighter and showers us with even more blessings.

There is always something to be grateful for, even when life seems hard. When times are tough, whether we are having a bad day or stuck in what may feel like an endless rut, it can be difficult to take the time to feel grateful. Yet, that is when gratitude can be most important. If we can look at our lives, during periods of challenge, and find something to be grateful for, then we can transform our realities in an instant. There are blessings to be found everywhere. When we are focusing on what is negative, our abundance can be easy to miss. Instead, choosing to find what already exists in our lives that we can appreciate can change what we see in our world. We start to notice one blessing, and then another.

When we constantly choose to be grateful, we notice that every breath is a miracle and each smile becomes a gift. We begin to understand that difficulties are also invaluable lessons. The sun is always shining for us when we are grateful, even if it is hidden behind clouds on a rainy day. A simple sandwich becomes a feast, and a trinket is transformed into a treasure. Living in a state of gratitude allows us to spread our abundance because that is the energy that we emanate from our beings. Because the world reflects back to us what we embody, the additional blessings that inevitably flow our way give us even more to be grateful for. The universe wants to shower us with blessings. The more we appreciate life, the more life appreciates and bestows us with more goodness. AMEN! ✨🌹

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten in California may this day finds you doing well. 🌹✨😎

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. I hope today is cooler for you.
I would not do a thing today. My hand is better. ✨😎

Oz is cooling off a bit and I am so thankful.

Yeah Game Night hubby will watch I only want to watch when things get really going.

Wishing you a nice day and blowing a cool breeze to you and Jake’s Canvas. ✨😘🌹

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this be a great day for a hike. ✨😎
I have to say Oz is pretty nice today. Poppy had no issues walking I enjoy the
walk when humidity is low. ✨

Taci I hope your son feels better soon. I still mask up when I am out in the general public.
My hand is so much better today I just have to careful how I take things out of the Oven.

Taci I am going to show you what I have and like on my bed. We don’t have the king size
bed because of size it was because we had four kids and when hubby left for work everyone
would pile into the bed with me. 😘🌹 Hey even now when the kids come home they still
like to sleep with me plus we had cats all the animals would sleep with me. ✨

When the time comes and we downsize it will be to a Queen Size Bed. ✨ I must have throw pillows that match
the comforter and shams. The other bedrooms have queen size beds.

I am the Linen Queen. 🌹😘Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎✨Thank you for the advice on my hand.
The Aloe worked very well. I do keep vaseline on hand as well. My hand is fine now.

Oodie I read your post from last night and they put your husband on Lasix which is a ‘
diuretic which means he will have to go the a lot. Oodie that was not your fault it takes
more than a bag of chips to be put on this kind of medicine.

My father had high blood pressure and let me tell you it was not fun. I hope he handles
this medicine well.

Oodie did Terminix come early? I know you will off and running soon.

Let me know how your husband is doing today. Stay cool as you can. 😎✨ OZ is alright
today.

@xango,

Good afternoon in sunny Florida. Thank you for the advice on my hand I do have Aloe vera
I keep it for any emergency. My hand is much better this morning. I was taking a pot out of the
Oven and as I lifted the pot up I accidently burned the back of hand. This was small but
I felt it. All good now. 😎🌹

So sorry to hear about your cousin’s son. I wish him a speedy recover and these things do
take time. What concerns me is she has company and I hope they understand. Hey family
is family please let me know how he does. My heart goes out to her about the cat. ✨

Your meal sounds very good with Fall coming I tend to bake and cook more. I will be sure
to wear my kitchen mittens I have several. I think it is time to switch to fall colors for the
kitchen. 😎

@loaf,

Fall is around the corner wishing you a good one. 😎✨
