Hmm……One to many coffees with Iris?????🐩😀🎶

Sheba, Sounds like you finally got home to Colorado and had a great time! Do you Ski? I grew up Skiing but never liked heights so I stopped going, plus it became so costly. For me, I didn’t like it enough for the cost, if that makes sense.
I know what you mean about the elevation and needing a lot of water. It gets so dry too. I’m sure you know the drill after years of traveling.
We aren’t sick anymore. I hiked early today and plan to do so again tomorrow (since it gets dark early at this time of year).
Did you say ten years? Wow, that is a long time. It has gone so fast in so many ways. I am shocked that we have been posting for so long. It’s been a real pleasure to meet you!!! and all the other posters as well. I have learned so much about each of you over the years. Thanks for all you do.

Xango, my condolences on the loss of your Mother and Brother. It must be hard for you at this time of year.
My next door neighbor passed at 99 years old, he was a nice man and used to check on other older neighbors. His neighbor on the other side had a stroke and he noticed something off and broke into her house and called 911. He had some awesome instincts.

@xango,

I am so sorry about how this happened and it will stay with you forever.

I think of my dad who has only been gone three years and not a day go by that I don’t
think of him. 💕😘

I can’t wait to go back to Colorado and there are many places with family so there is
always places to go and things to see. I want to go to the ski lodge in the mountains.

Xango I want you to focus on healing after your fall. I had a bad fall too and it scared our
kids to death. I had to fight my way to get well. I am very strong willed but I had to learn
to walk with a ankle broken in three place and dislocated. I had surgery stat and plates
were put on both sides of my angle. I have never felt such pain. I was in a wheelchair and
on crunches for three months. Plus I was in a cast what fun. I had to sit on my assets to get
up and down the stairs. Long story but I did heal complete and fully. Xango you will get
there.

Thank you for your prayers and well wishes for me to get to my mom and entire family. 💕😘

@shoelady60,

I certainly will let you know about T&T. 😘💕😎🎈

Glad you had fun with sister and mom and great they have a Cruise coming up.

Lady this is my first time traveling since Covid and cancer so I am going back to my
old ways visiting my family. I have to hit Minnesota, GA and TN. I also have New England
on the list and I promise I will make everyone of them.

I am tired of be scared of this beast known as Covid forget that! Time to live.

Stay warm tonight. 😘

Here is a nice Hot Toddy enjoy!

@oodiebom,

Good evening I know it’s late and you are exhausted oh yes the moon guided me
safely home and I was nice and warm and safe spending time with my mother and family.
We had 35 for dinner at my brother’s house. I have not been around my family like that since
Covid. Oodie I have taken trips for decades to Colorado with our kids and pets. 😉

I just had not been since the Covid situation and the breast cancer. We go at least twice
a year mostly warmer months this time of year anything goes. Oodie one year we were on
pure Ice and we had kids in the car along with one of my sister we saw cars in ditches.
God has been good to me because I always make it back home. I can’t wait to go again
I think I will wait for warmer weather and we do track way before we set foot out the door.

There is so much life in Colorado even when it’s cold. Family is getting ready for ski season
they have a rack of skis in their mud room. I love being in the mountain in a lodge.

Oodie how is your husband doing tonight? How are you?

Let It Go
Song by Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Peace Out Peeps have a warm and safe evening.

Hi, so good to know your hubby is back from surgery and recovering. It may take sometime to get back to his normal routine.
Perhaps you may want to get some grab bars in the shower, I know from experience it helped me alot. And I use them everyday to get into and out of the shower.
What also helped me is the Bemis Assurance 3″ Raised Toilet Seat with Clean Shield & Support Arms, Elongated, White I got from Amazon.
It’s high enough to sit comfortably, it has arms on both sides to hold on to sit and get up from. It’s easy to install, or you can have someone install for you.
Take care Oodie 🌹

@Sheba 🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂

Good evening Sheba, all your notes/posts are very nice.
I am still happy that you had the opportunity and pleasure to be with your mom for Thanksgiving.
Yesterday 11/28 marked 23 years that I came home from work, I had worked late that day. I found the house all dark and knew something was wrong. My mom had a stroke, it was a Tuesday also. She stayed ten days in the hospital and passed away on 12/8th. December 8th was my brother’s birthday, the brother I lost in 1996 of Lung cancer here in the USA.

We had some low temperatures last night and this morning, 41 degree.
I had three blankets on the bed. Hubby got up at 3AM saying he was cold, and turned on the heat to 71 😆.
After tonight the temperatures are suppose to get warmer back into the high 70’s in the coming days.
Take care Sheba 🌹

Good afternoon to you. Another cold day here🥶 but it should get better the rest of the week. Again, so happy you had a wonderful time with your mom and family. I kept thinking of all your posts that said “when I see my mom.” Hopefully you can do it again soon.💗

Went to a ladies only dinner yesterday. Just a few friends who rarely can get together on the same day. Our version of an early Christmas party.🎄🎋 Like you visiting your family, it doesn’t happen often.

Visited mom and sis today, talked and had tea and cookies.☕🍪 Mom wanted to get away somewhere warm so sis got a good deal on back-to-back cruises in February for two weeks.

Getting ready to cook some fish. Let me know of any news on T & T.💕 Big hugs to you and Mr. Velcro.🤗💖
