I agree that Trivia was fun, especially when everyone could join with me in the enthusiasm I felt when hubby was able to sit up in bed and dangle his feet over the edge and dress himself for the first time in months. And Saturday he used the bathroom facilities and it wasn’t for washing his hands. Above all, his appetite is coming back. I made a stop at Culvers rather than Costco. I picked up a fish sandwich for myself and a Reuben for hubby. Added FF and coleslaw and two hot fudge frozen custards. I splurged. Diet gone amiss for one day of celebration. So much to celebrate and hubby remembered the day prior. Short term memory coming back???? I don’t know. I will take it and be happy for the one day of excitement and will remember that day when others don’t come together quite right.

I am also looking forward to the new Arcade. Along with others who have responded and those who haven’t, I would love to see Trivia continue on Friday nights. I also remember the years that I read the posts in Community but was too shy to respond. I also felt that it may have been something that could go as spam. I think what happened is that I and about 20+ had an opportunity to join HSN behind the scenes and at the end to post a Hi and who I am in a note to Community. Found it was a delight to see people respond and the rest is history. Though we are incognito we have formed friendships across the board. It was so touching to see that my experiences are helping others through traumatic days and times. Hubby is the one who described his dementia like a fog you see over water or when you awake in the morning and cannot see the house next door or across the street. This fog kept him from seeing the sun. It was like a dark cloud that hung over his eyes. Well, that cloud is starting to lift. Not sure if he will ever attain the normalcy he once had, but I will forever be thankful for the days that aren’t so good that he can move around and speak and maybe know who I am. Yes, there have been days when I am there that he is looking for his wife, his bf and I am there, but he sees someone else. I have shed many tears at home over this and then I realize it’s the fog he so described.

And TACI, I agree with you on Florida. Hubby and I got tired shoveling snow. We got tired that our steps to the house and the walk to our vehicles became an ice skating rink because our home faces North. Hubby did not like the cold temps that also went minus something during the winter. I, on the other hand, loved watching the snow fall from my den window. I could sit there for hours. It was so peaceful. Then one day hubby wanted to go South for a few weeks. Back then we used the I-95 corridor and being that we both had retired we could come and go as we pleased and stay as long as we wanted. Well, that first visit to Florida was not warm by any means. We froze. Temps were no warmer than back North and so we cut our visit short that year. Then we had friends that spent the winters in Fl., and so we returned. I loved it. We decided to look around and found something we could afford, thus we are here during the winter and return North in the spring. Well, at least that’s the way it was until the pandemic hit us in 2020 while on a cruise. The rest is history.

Sheba, The skirt-pant is an elegant piece. You are right, your height helps. I couldn’t wear it and that’s ok. I would look overwhelmed. When I worked and wore suits to clients, before everything went in-house and business casual, had to be careful about the fit. The skirts were slightly above the knee and more fitted. Remember the store Petite Sophisticate? I loved getting my suits there back in the day and of course Macy’s.
My son is feeling ok but not too talkative about it. He brings home Covid tests every day and checks just in case.
Hiked today (with hubs) late and it cooled off but was still humid. Our weather has been hot, and the air quality has been fair and poor. Hopefully Fall will change all that around.
Have a great weekend. Did you get the bike ride with hubs?

Oodie, hope things for hubby are on track and he can get home.
Glad your hand is doing better.
