Sheba, It’s just nice to be outside. We had a quick downpour last night and I felt some light rain on my hike. It was over quickly. Speaking of my Mother, I lost a pin that was on my pack that was a gift from her. I looked for it yesterday and today, retracing my steps without finding it. Someone else must have found it. Hardly anyone goes to this location so I thought for sure I would find it. Stuff happens and I have lots of other pieces from her.

Sheba, not wanting to eat is not something I have experienced much. I like food too much. Maybe you have some food allergies or sensitivities? Or a fast metabolism from all that yard work and walking. A long time friend recently told me that she doesn’t like to eat and doesn’t take in enough calories to lose weight as her body is holding onto it. Problems in either direction are hard. BTW, I gained the pregnancy weight for you and way more than 10 lbs.
Welcome back home!

Oodie. glad your husband is doing better. Maybe the water doesn’t taste right to him. Possibly some soup, smoothies or water with something like AL Efficient C, or some fruit, or Lemon and honey will add some flavor?

Have a good evening.

Love the couch and chairs and open space.

No, I do not believe you have shown the above HD’s on this thread. I purchased the Duchess in the rose color on HSN and also love the one in green on her website. The rose one is almost the color of a garnet and is magnificent. I received it the other day along with the poodle and scottie. I’ve been wearing a great deal of HD when I visit hubby and you should hear the comments. Her artistry is exquisite. I wish you would visit HSN more often, but, getting the time in may be the big question. She is one busy lady and I know how that feels having our own business on weekends and being an employee elsewhere during the week. You have to love what you do to make it succeed. And you can tell HD does just that. Her personality touches everyone along with her jewelry which is so very precious.

Hi and thank you for the suggestions. I am laughing right now because I have been looking at the lift that goes around the toilet. There are some that sit on the floor and others that are attached to the seat or something you attach. The house also has bars in one bathroom. However, hubby will not be able to use it since I enjoy the tub at times. The other shower does have a step where the glass doors sit. I have been thinking of a bar in that one, but in doing so may have to make the entry into the shower a bit smaller in order to grab it as you go in. The other thing I was thinking of doing is making it more of a walk in shower without the glass door. It’s something I am toying with because of the configuration. I also may be able to enlarge the bathroom somewhat and that is another possibility. I am also trying to decide whether a ramp would be necessary for entry into our home. If a ramp is necessary, then could it be turned into stairs leading to the front door if hubby is again able to walk and be able to climb the new 3″ steps. It will take two days to do those changes (outdoor stairs/ramp).

Glad you are beginning to feel better. I think hubby will be happy when you return to the kitchen baking bread and putting dishes into the freezer once again. I hope he enjoys his new position at the VA. At least he can avoid the traffic when he works from home. Hope I can go shopping in Brandon before heading North. I really need a fix at the Oriental Market.

Just returned home from Rehab. Hubby ate his entire dinner and the plate was licked clean. He has increased his water intake and looked better, though his knee was giving him some pain. The pain will subside if he is able to sit in the wheelchair. I asked him if he had a shower since the surgery the answer was an emphatic NO. He did get a complete rub down and the bed was completely cleaned afterward. The nurse used a formula of detergent and a disinfectant for the mattress, She also let the mattress sit in disinfectant for a good half hour before rinsing and did the process all over again. one side at a time. She said they will do it again in the morning and evening tomorrow. She asked that I bring the shark wand with me. This is something that should have been taken care of prior to the surgery. I felt sorry for hubby while this was being done. He was in bed the entire time. Linens were also changed. He started to fall asleep and that’s when I decided to leave.

I definitely will need to work on the Physical Therapy. I am hoping that can start next week.

Well, the one chair I was hoping to salvage will not happen. It will be tossed over the weekend. Just too many ifs to keep it. I will be contacting a handy person to help me get it outside along with that person helping me to empty some cabinets that were in our den to make sure that they are OK. That also includes lamps and pictures. I am thinking twice about keeping our original mattress and boxspring when the new one arrives next week. I want everything to be spic and span when hubby arrives. His immune system leaves a lot to be desired. I will not be taking any chances.

@oodiebom,

I think I may have shown you this before I don’t know but I have this complete set by
HD. 😎😉

I love wearing it. 💕

I have shown this set on a Heidi Daus Thread a few years ago. 🎈

Oodie I have both sets.

@oodiebom,

We are raining as I type and it is cold I have a fireplace on. I am going to bed.
I made sure the cats had some good food and they are taking shelter.

I did do some yard work today it was one and done. 😎

Getting ready to jump into the shower. The news will have to watch me tonight. LOL!

I hope your husband is getting plenty of fluids. I had a doctor tell me if I did not eat during my pregnant stages
they were going to feed me in the arm. I think all of a sudden I started eating just a little. Tell hubby drink fluids.

@shoelady60,

Tell me if I am wrong as I know my music and artist but I think Taylor is from part of world. 😎
I have a very good idea where they will be during the season.

I want those earrings and she wore them on an awards show. 😎💕

Peace Out Peeps have a safe and warm evening. 😎😉

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

“The Christmas Song” Nate King Cole

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

If I Can Dream Elvis Presley/Austin Butler

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can’t my dream come true
Oh, why
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won’t that sun appear
We’re lost in a cloud with too much rain
We’re trapped in a world that’s troubled with pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer, answer’s gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle, yeah
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream come true, oh
Right now, let it come true right now
Oh, yeah
