HISTORY OF NATIONAL CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY DAY

Chocolate covered cherries, also known as cherry cordials, have been enjoyed by Americans and indeed the world for generations. Early settlers from Europe were so fond of cherries they made sure that some were stashed among the cargo when they sailed the Atlantic Ocean to reach America in the 1600s.

Although there are a variety of cherries now considered to be native to North America, the common belief is that cherries originated in Turkey. Cherries are known to be one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world and it seems as though our love of cherries is deeply ingrained in human culture.

The English began soaking sweet cherries in kirsch, a cherry brandy, and covering them with chocolate in the 1700s. These cordials, as they were known, were savored for their intoxicating effects, and reserved for holidays. The French created a similar confection called Griottes around the same time using a sour cherry called a griotte, which they also soaked in kirsch and smothered in chocolate. Both English cordials and French Griottes made their way to America in the 1700s and immediately became in demand to no one’s surprise.

Americans began making cordials using a strong, sugary syrup liqueur by crushing whole cherries, cooking them in sugar and brandy, then covering with chocolate. These became known as cherry cordials, but other fruits were also made into cordials using the same brandy and sugar method. Cherry cordials were the most popular and usually reserved for holidays and special festivities. Eventually, the alcohol was removed from the recipe during prohibition, and cherry cordials were instead made with cherry flavored sugar syrup. By 1929 the first chocolate covered–cherries made with sugar syrup and no alcohol began to be mass–produced in America to meet the increased demand.

Today we celebrate–chocolate covered cherries of all persuasions – dark, milk, even white chocolate varieties. We love to savor a cherry cordial after dinner made with sweet liqueurs and the nip of kirsch brandy but are always eager to indulge in a sweet sugar syrup centered chocolate–covered cherry as a late afternoon delight. Whichever you prefer, make sure you treat yourself for National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day.

Good Morning Peeps enjoy this chilly Wednesday in our wonderful community. 🎈😎

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida I hope you are keeping warm OZ is at 30 degrees today. 😎😉
Welcome to Winter Wonderland in these parts.

I hope you are enjoying some hot coffee and fresh rolls. 🎈💕

How is your youngest nephew in Brazil doing? I wish I were there right about now. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good day in Florida. I hope you are rested and had some good sleep.

Sending warm waves to you. Oodie how are you doing today?

Glad your husband has a good appetite. This will be an interesting month
for you.

We are cold here in Kansas I think a wee bit too cold. 😎 I did bundle up and took my
baby out with his booties and we had a nice walk. 🎈😉 We do have some sun.

@sheba2011

Temp today is supposed to be in the 70s. The new plants out front will need watering and I hope to do that soon. Temps toningth between the mid 40s and 50s. No snow for us, but the homes North will see some good out of this storm. Not sure if the Cape will see rain or snow. From what I have read, looks like all 50 States will be cooler during the month of January. I’m just hoping for some rain events for our area in Florida.

Hubby greeted me last night with “you gotta get tonight’s dinner.” “It was wonderful.” He didn’t leave one morsel. The plates were wiped clean. Unlike some of the other rehabs, this one does not support the family member with food. You can get water if you ask for it. I compare this place to the one in Savannah, Ga.. At that time I was in a hotel room the six weeks hubby was out of commission. However, the hospital let me stay with hubby 24/7. The hotel/motel I stayed in brought food to me when I returned. However, this one had a restaurant next door that had a 4 or 5 star rating. Fresh fish and chowder were the best I ever tasted and that includes Cape Cod. However, the rehab hubby went to gave me lunch and dinner at no extra cost. You even had daily choices for each meal. However, I had to be out before 7pm each day. Visiting hours started around 11 am. The Lyft brought me to and from daily. I had started out with Uber. I do not dare tell you what they did to me. My credit cards were of no use from the second time I called for a ride. There was absolutely no customer service. It was for the driver only.

Well, I just confirmed hubby’s appointment for Friday. We are all set for now. I just hope they can do the reconstruction of the knees and if not something that may be an alternative that can help him to stand and walk. At least to make him mobile for leaving the house and getting into and out of the van.

Not sure about Trivia on Friday because of the orthopedist appointment. I will give it the all college try. Hmm…..wonder if the new Arcade will be up and running after tomorrow or will it take another month or two to see the new games. Very exciting. Love new starts and new ideas.

Before I forget. I purchased another “dazzling duchess”. necklace from Heidi’s website. This is the first time ever that I do not recommend a piece of jewelry. The stones are a dark opaque green, almost black. Looks nothing like what is shown on line or on the model. It cannot be returned because it was on sale. This was the first piece that I couldn’t wait to purchase, especially after ordering the one from HSN. Oh well, live and learn, I guess.

@sheba2011

I didn’t see hubby tonight. Instead, I got some warmer clothes for him washed and will bring them tomorrow. Not sure if they will fit since he hasn’t worn these in a while. Also, after much hemming and hawing, I decided to take TACI’s advice and contacted Heidi’s retail area through e-mail. I’m not expecting any miracles in that it stated all sales were final. And that also was stated on the invoice.

Tomorrow we are back to recycle and garbage on our usual days. Guess I better get the things together for pickup.

@oodiebom,

Good evening I just read your post and I am glad hubby will be seen Friday. 😎😉
Nothing is more important than that visit.

I am sorry about the necklace I love the one you brought on HSN but I did not see
the color you are talking about. I agree with Taci perhaps this may be a defect and I am
sure Heidi’s customer service will take care of this. Oodie it will not hurt to try.

I have the sniffles from going in and out we are in the 20’s here in OZ.
I feel like something the cat brought in god knows what that is.

I am glad no trash day tomorrow as due to the holidays it will be on Friday I hope I feel
better by then.

Oodie as long as your husband has been in rehab they should on some days offer you
a meal and it won’t be free. I for one I am hoping he gets out soon I know you both will
be happy. 🎈😎

Wishing you some good rest and I hope you are warm.

Oodie, Best of luck Friday. I think you should contact Heidi Daus Customer Service, maybe they will replace it with another, and maybe yours was defective somehow?

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I hope your weather is nice and warm.
OZ is frozen. Welcome winter. 😎

I am getting rid of things I always start the New Year getting rid of the old.
Wish me luck in getting it to where it is need. 😉

I am so sorry your son has Covid good grief will this thing every leave us alone!

Taci take care of your song and Happy Trails. 🎶🎶

Sheba, Have fun clearing things out for the New Year. We had rain off and on and had to turn on the heat a bit at night. I plan to hike before the next rain. Hopefully my plan will work.
Have a great day!
Oh, and the picture of your dog with the booties is too cute.

@taci,

Good evening for as long as we have been writing which is ten years on this thread I have
never known you to turn your heat up. 😒 I am turning my heat up because we are in the
twenties and colder in the morning which can burst pipes like crazy.

I am leaving the fireplace in our room on I have heavy linens on the beds. Poppy has
a new bed I brought for Christmas and he’s not going anywhere.

I am not feeling too great just some sniffles from outdoors checking on cats and feeding
them and making sure they have a warm place to get warm. Our son was right by my side
as I did all this and when we were done son took off for a long run. Son came home took
a shower and went to bed.

I hope Oodie can get her necklace replaced by HD. 🎈

Taci those Iris Apfel Jackets I brought they are not only beautiful but warm. 😎

@taci

Hmm…..I can try. However, it did say all sales final in several areas.

I will post sometime either Friday or Saturday on the results of the appointment. I just finished the laundry and need to get dressed to see hubby. Take care and thanks for the advice.

OOdie

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. 😉🎈😎I think you are as cold as OZ.

I hope your husband enjoy the Hockey Game last night no matter the score
he experienced the game live. 😉🎈

I am multi-tasking today and I really don’t feel it but I have to do things.

Wishing you a nice day.

Sending very warm hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. 💕😉😎

Thank you for such a sweet note on Poppy you see why I love him so much. 💕

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten may this day find you doing well. 🎈😎

Nights In White Satin
Song by The Moody Blues

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I’ve written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I’d always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can’t say anymore
‘Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I’m going through
They can’t understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I’ve written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I’ve always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can’t say anymore
‘Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
‘Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

Before He Cheats
Song by Carrie Underwood

Right now, he’s probably slow dancin’ with a bleach-blonde tramp
And she’s probably gettin’ frisky
Right now, he’s probably buyin’ her some fruity little drink
‘Cause she can’t shoot whiskey
Right now, he’s probably up behind her with a pool stick
Showin’ her how to shoot a combo
And he don’t know
I dug my key into the side (into the side)
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights (both headlights)
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time, he’ll think before he cheats
Right now, she’s probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she’s probably sayin’, “I’m ”
And he’s a-thinkin’ that he’s gonna get lucky
Right now, he’s probably dabbin’ on
Three dollars worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh, and he don’t know
Oh, that I dug my key into the side (into the side)
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights (both headlights)
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time, he’ll think before he cheats
I might’ve saved a little trouble for the next girl
A-’cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won’t be on me
No, not on me
‘Cause I dug my key into the side (into the side)
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights (both headlights)
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time, he’ll think before he cheats
Oh, maybe next time, he’ll think before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats
Oh

What’s Love Got to Do with It
Song by Tina Turner

You must understand, though the touch of your hand makes my pulse react
That it’s only the thrill of boy meeting girl, opposites attract
It’s physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
Oh-oh-oh, what’s love got to do, got to do with it?
What’s love, but a second-hand emotion?
What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
It may seem to you that I’m acting confused when you’re close to me
If I tend to look dazed, I read it some place, I got cause to be
There’s a name for it
There’s a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason, you do it for me
Oh-oh-oh, what’s love got to do, got to do with it?
What’s love, but a second-hand emotion?
What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
Who?
I’ve been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I’ve been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way
Oh-oh-oh, what’s love got to do, got to do with it?
What’s love, but a second-hand emotion?
What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
got to do, got to do with it?
What’s love, but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
ooh, got to do with it?
(What’s love? A second-hand emotion)
What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
(What’s love) ooh-ooh (got to do with it?) got to do with it?

Rhiannon
Song by Fleetwood Mac

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind

Fame
Song by David Bowie

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame (fame) lets him lose hard to swallow
Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)
Fame not your brain it’s just the flame
That puts your change to keep you sane (sane)
Fame (fame)
Fame (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow
Fame (fame)
Fame nein it’s mine is just his line
To bind our time it drives you to crime (crime)
Fame (fame)
Could it be the best could it be?
Really be really babe
Could it be my babe could it babe?
Could it babe could it babe?
Is it any wonder I reject you first
Fame (fame) fame fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame (fame)
Fame bully for you chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
(Pain)
Fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame fame fame
Fame fame fame
Fame
What’s your name?
What’s your name?
What’s your name?…

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps enjoy our wonderful community. 😎🎈

NATIONAL PERSONAL TRAINER AWARENESS DAY

National Personal Trainer Awareness Day kick starts the year on January 2nd with a day to appreciate the professionals who help us to keep our resolutions, one step at a time.

#PersonalTrainerAwarenessDay

With getting in shape as one of the biggest resolutions each new year, personal trainers know they will be in high demand. Their jobs are not only to motivate us but also to make sure we learn how to work our bodies safely. Injuries due to misuse of equipment or not properly warming up our muscles keep us from keeping our resolutions just as much as lack of motivation.

Personal trainers play a crucial role in helping people achieve their health and fitness goals.

Personal trainers design customized programs for their clients. The plan should fit their current physical fitness and goals. They will teach correct techniques with the equipment and tools available. Additionally, personal trainers encourage, motivate, and help to hold you accountable for your physical fitness. They help you to learn how to track your goals and guide you to your next step of physical fitness. All along the way, they will challenge you and make sure you continue to use proper form to prevent injury while also aiming toward your best health.

HOW TO OBSERVE PERSONAL TRAINER AWARENESS DAY

Give a shout-out to your personal trainer. Do your resolutions include physical fitness? Maybe a personal trainer is right for you. Exercise your best judgment and let a personal trainer design a program just for you. For excellent tips on finding the right personal trainer, visit WebMD. Use #PersonalTrainerAwarenessDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL PERSONAL TRAINER AWARENESS DAY HISTORY

National Day Calendar resolves to discover the origins of this personal fitness day. While we do, we’re going to work out a way to #CelebrateEveryDay, too.

There are always plenty of haters, Stay positive and move forward.

2024 is a Leap Year, so we get one extra day. 😊

Somewhere in Colorado. 😎🎈😉

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio Loaf check in when you can. I am so glad all is well with your husband. 😉
I hope the Kids got their Christmas wish I am sure you took care of that. 😎🎈

Hey Heidi Daus will be here on January 6th the schedule is above and I will post more
info as it becomes available.

Hey enjoy your Tuesday make it a great day. 😉

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. 😉🎈😎 Thank you for your post yesterday it’s nice to have
you back. 😉🎈😎 Take it easy and things will work out just fine.

I had a good time at the New Year’s Eve Party just two doors down. We do this every single
year. The thing that surprised me were people were shooting of guns at 9:00 p.m. now
that is three hours before it’s time to let out the works. I mean it kept going on for hours.

I stayed a bit with my mask then hubby and I walked home believe me Poppy was at the
door when we came home. LOL!

I hope this year will be a great one for us all. 😉😘😎I broke my own cycle by going to
Colorado and I am so glad I did. The nasty Viruses are back. Yikes!

I can’t wait to go back when the weather is better. I talked to so many family members yesterday my phone was off the chain so many phone calls. 😎😘😉

I am going to make some hot tea I hope this is a good day for you. 🎈

Oz is very cold today. Welcome Winter. 😎

@sheba2011

Hello, it was a nice day here in the 60’s with Sunshine. The rabbits and apossums are back. And are enjoying some munchies I threw out for them.
The days are shorter now, we have slightly over ten hours of daylight. I will take all ten hours, I miss the long days of Summer. I too spoke with lots of family members. Brazil is two hours ahead, so we all celebrated on the phone.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@xango,

Good evening we are frozen in OZ I am going to get warm. 😎😉

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎😉Oodie glad you got some good rest
on your new mattress. Great that your husband is making strides that is a good thing.

My friend/neighbor New Year’s Eve Party went very well. We lingered a bit with our masks.
The shooting started very early in these parts things were going off at 9:15 p.m.

Oodie the all that noise did not stop until after 2:00 a.m. Poppy slept through it all once
we got in the house. I now know what a war zone sounds like and may I never see the real
thing.

The moon was fantastic and I slept like a baby. 💕😉

Oodie I know you are off and running let me know how things go for you and hubby
today. I am looking forward to him going home.

Oodie, too funny about the dollar store now the dollar and a quarter store. It’s the same here $1.25 and my husband will be sure to let you know the portions are all smaller too. He’s a total number’s person.
Glad hubs is moving along. If they can’t help him when he needs it then good for him for helping himself. Maybe they can get a safe walker by his bed. It’s good to be up and around.

@sheba2011

Hubby is doing OK. His mind has changed since the surgery in November. This is a good thing. He is back joking around and being himself. I agree he should play a piano more. We do have a couple here that are relatively easy to carry and have a good tone. I often want to bring it with me, but he insists that I leave it at home. So be it.

One of the nurse’s aides blasted him yesterday for using the bathroom on his own. I agreed with her, but she should understand the circumstances. Hubby is tired of not being able to do things on his own and I think he is testing the waters. At the same time he is showing the Phy sical Therapy Unit a reason to resume the exercises. I am hoping that the orthopedist will do something about this even if it with his group next door. If the rehab cannot drive him to the scheduled date, then I guess I will contact the med group that will. I have had to fight every inch of the way for all that has helped him. To think what I had to do to find an Urologist and then go through the testing and the ifs prior to surgery. What a difference in him without that catheter. And what a blessing to see him change.

I didn’t return to the Farmer’s Market following my hair appointment. In all honesty, I was too hungry and needed some ME time. For some reason the microwave is working OK, but I still need a new dishwasher. New ad comes out on Thursday. Also have my eye on a dining table for o utdoors. Will order it when I’m at Lowes for a dishwasher. The dollar store. Oops, I mean the now dollar and a quarter store had empty shelves. They had one person at the register and that was that. I will take the longer ro ute to rehab in order to try another location.

It is cold here also with temps in the low 60s. Tonight it will be in the low 40s. That is almost equivalent to what you are feeling in Oz. I hope your son is still enjoying being home with you three. Before I forget. The sunroom picture of what you would like in Colorado is very similar to the backyard at our home in Ct… It’s very tranquil even with all the animals. I will definitely miss this backyard when we sell. It has always been my favorite spot.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Give a huge hug to Poppy from me and maybe a treat. You would have loved my sweater from yesterday. that was purchased on HSN many years ago when the vendor was from Vermont. The sweater is all about dogs, with names, bones and other treats.

@oodiebom,

We are cold in OZ tonight. Our son is still here he will stay an extra week. I am so glad now
hubby and I can spend more time with him. 💕😘

Oodie get your warm blankets out if you are chilly tonight. I hope you had a nice visit
with your husband.

I remember your backyard I love hearing you talk about the animals. I am going back
and forth checking on the critters. I make sure they have plenty of food. 😉

@taci,

Good morning in California. 😉😎Taci you slept 12 hours wow what does that feel like?
I think all the hiking you do and running around caught up with you. I love it when I can
manage to get 12 hours. Taci it’s not often but when I do I feel fantastic.

I have had a great time in parts of my life and those were one of the times. Taci that little
speck of time and with great people taught me so much. All of them were like you grandparents.
I still talk to some of my friends from the Orchestra we talk about those days and I wish
I could go back just to feel that way again. 😎

The New Year’s Eve Party was great and I wore some Heidi Daus Red Swarovski everything
from head to toe. 🎈

Taci this is the Suite I wore on New Year’s Eve do you remember when I posted this
on a Heidi Daus Thread years ago? I have the matching earrings, ring and bracelet. 💕🎈😎

Taci I also have this necklace in Blue. 😎 I have posted a lot of my personal Heidi Daus here on HSN.

I wore all red hubby said my legs look great well all the walking and then some I do I hope so.

No worries we made it home before all the fireworks and other things really took off it was
loud. Poppy greeted us at the front door. LOL! 😎😘

Your evening sound just as nice all the best of all of us this year.

I love your new loop so Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Shebadaus, wow, what a great collection. I remember when you used to post pictures and loved it. It’s great to see other people’s collections. It’s fun and interesting. Those are some lovely necklaces in both colorways. Well, you may have great legs, but you must have some strong neck muscles to wear those necklaces! haha
Getting 12 hours of sleep isn’t something i do often either. It was probably the cold and the 1/2 glass of champagne.
My son called from work where he had just tested positive for Covid. He’s upstairs and feels ok, with a little coughing. I made him tea with honey and told him to make sure to take the AL Essential vitamins. Hopefully none of us will catch it.
Take care!

@taci,

I just snapped this pic with my own camera a few minutes ago.

I just wanted you to see the Blue Suite by Heidi Daus these photos are
on a Heidi Daus Thread. 😎😉

This is just a quick pic made by me.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😘😉😎You made me laugh yeah Poppy is wearing his booties.
My baby feet gets cold on the snow and ground. I have to wrap up real good so I am nice
and warm. I am not alone when outside this is dog country here in Kansas. Everyone is out
walking their fur babies. 😉😎💕

I have a very brisk walk I just walk fast because I am used to walking at a fast pace.
I have to remember Poppy has to keep up with me so I slow it down a bit. LOL!

Hey this is what my baby looks like in his booties.

I know he is so cute. 😉😎

Congrats to your Hockey Team for winning I guess all the early fireworks and then some
were for our team finally winning a game. 😉🎈I hope your husband has a good time
at the Hockey Game.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎

@sheba2011

OMG, I love, love, love that pic of Poppy!💗🐶💗🐶 I wish I could grab him off the screen and give him 1,000 hugs.🤗🤗🤗

I admire your dedication with walking in the cold. That was always my excuse for not taking a walk. Now I take a five second step onto the deck – if any inch of me feels cold, I’m staying in the house.🤣 Also, the knees aren’t what they used to be.🦵

Glad your New Year’s eve went well. Sounds like everyone was celebrating with noise in your neighborhood. Happy the Chiefs won their division, keeping fingers crossed for the playoffs.🤞

Cold in the ‘burgh, may get a snowstorm over the weekend.❄ Warm hugs to you and 999 more for Poppy!🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and thank you for the Game Shout Out. 😉🎈I love Poppy this is my
baby. 😘

Wishing you a nice warm evening and I hope your Hockey Team win. 🎈

@sheba2011

Happy New Year⛄️

I watched to festivities on TV and saw the ball come down. Hubby went to bed just before 1AM and I stayed up watching the and listening to the music.
The neighborhood had lots of fireworks which started right after the Sun went down and continued until a little after 2AM.
Someone had to much to drink and decided to ride a motorcycle up and down the street in the community untill 5AM.
The day was nice, Sunshine and cool.
Here’s to a great start of the new year.
Take care Sheba 🌹

@oodiebom,

Good day in Florida and I am so glad you made it home safe and sound. 😎🎈
I know hubby wants to come home and the appointments he have I hope
will reveal all is well with him. Oodie it will take a little work on his part. I believe
he can do it.

Oodie Happy New Year. 🎈😎😉Let me know how things go today and I hope you
are sleeping well.

@sheba2011

Sleeping too well. I’m off to the dollar and a quarter store and since the Farmer’s Market is next door will definitely go in and pick up my favorite fist (sea bass) and a few other things as well. I am hoping they have some hot soup ready and since lobster salad is on sale will pick that up also. Tomorrow hair appointment and looking forward to the end of the week with the orthopedist.

Hubby is making strides. I gave him some leg exercises that he can do in his wheelchair and also in bed. Got to get those muscles into working order. Told him to start with small things and then to work through the pain. I think the pain will be less as the muscles relax more. I will write more later. Oh, by the way, the moon was radiant and huge Saturday night. Too foggy last night to see anything. Made it home. Hubby ate up a storm. He loved the bar nuts I brought. Had to take it away so he would leave a few for me. Stay warm. I’m sure you are all sitting by the fire.

Oodie, What is a Quarter Store? Is it like a Dollar Store?

@taci,

Good morning and I hope you are still sleeping out there in S. California. 😉😎🎈
Just popping in to wish you a nice New Year’s Day. 😉

Taci Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, You must have been quite young to have worked with Ella Fitzgerald. Since you have posted her songs I looked her up and wow, what an amazing singer and career she had. You must have loved those days!
Happy New Year 2024! Hope your party was fun! Were you wearing any new Heidi by chance? Can’t believe it’s here but it is.
We picked up food and then had champagne at midnight. It tasted very good.
There are lots of people on the new hiking trail and no critters yet. My new loop is a bit longer and I am getting better at it. In the end, it’s a fun change.
Edit to add: you mentioned hoping I was sleeping. Yup, slept 12 hours. Yikes.

@taci and @oodiebom,

You are both so funny I have always talked about my time with a professional Philharmonic
Orchestra. I had the time of my life. All the great artists I worked with were old enough to
be my grandmother. I think Ray Boger the original scarecrow from the Wizard of OZ Movie
was one of the artist I worked with and he was like a great grandfather he was full of energy
and talent. Ethel Merman was also one of my favorites and we did talk about Marilyn Monroe
backstage. Ethel came alive when she sang her songs and so did Ella. 💕

Leonard Bernstein was one of my bosses but one of his protege was my boss for years.
I had that little speck of time in my life and I loved it. I see some the artists on TCM. My heart
does a extra beat because I had just a speck of time with them. 😘💕I will forever be grateful
for all I learned from each and everyone too many to list. I had an education you cannot buy.

Also when I post my songs I do not google that is straight from my life and heart. Every song
is telling a story and I love music that was written before my parents were born.

Taci I will tell you about NYE when I post to you today. 😎🎈

@taci

To answer your question. In our area the Dollar Tree is no more $1. The prices went up a quarter and that is why I call it the dollar and a quarter store. New name. New image. But it’s still called the Dollar Tree. Go figure!!!!!!

Well, time to hit the sack again. It’s after 3 am here. Had to use the library and noticed the computer was still on for HSN. Heidi is on this week. I will probably miss part of it since hubby has an appointment around the time she is on. Oh well. I may take a sneak peek prior if I’m not pressed for time.

On Amazon, take a look at the recordings with Ella. Sometimes, towards the bottom of the CD. there is a list of the songs that are played and a way to hear it. You may have to go from one CD to another before encountering the listen area. She was one in a million and so was Louie Armstrong. People don’t sing like that anymore. I would say Sheba had to be quite a singer herself to be with the best of the best. I just wish we could hear her sing. Me, I am great at going off key. LOL

Have a great New Year, May it be healthy and happy. May you find new trails to circumvent.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Hey Happy New Year to you and your family. 😉🎈😎
I think you know I am happy the Game. 😉😎🎈Well it’s a start.

Enjoy this New Year’s Day OZ is freezing.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😉😘

@sheba2011

Happy New Year again!🎉 Hope you enjoyed your evening yesterday and all plans went smooth. I made it up until midnight but didn’t waste any time getting in bed. A few firecrackers around the neighborhood.🧨

Taking it easy today, pork, sauerkraut and an apple pie in the oven.🥧 Congrats on the game, so glad they won.👍 Hockey team won, too, hubs going to the game tomorrow with his friend.

Snow showers when I got up this morning, pretty chilly all week.🥶 Has Poppy had his booties on yet? Sending the first hugs of the year to you and the little man.🤗💖🐶

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten wishing you a very Happy New Year. 🎈😉

Happy New Year to all in the HSN Community. 😎

The Power of Staying Positive

Positive thinking dramatically increases your chances of success in any endeavor.
Our thoughts are not simply ethereal pieces of information that enter our minds and then disappear. The words and ideas that we think can shape our lives and drive us toward success and happiness or failure and distress. How you think and feel can have a profound effect on your ability to recognize opportunity, how well you perform, and the outcome of the goals that you’ve set for yourself. When you maintain an optimistic outlook and make an effort to harbor only positive thoughts, you begin to create the circumstances conducive to you achieving what you desire. You feel in control and few of life’s challenges seem truly overwhelming because it is in your nature to expect a positive conclusion. An optimistic mind is also an honest one. Staying positive does not mean that you ignore difficulties or disregard limitations. Instead, it means spending time focusing only on the thoughts that are conducive to your well-being and progress.

Positive thinking dramatically increases your chances of success in any endeavor. When you’re sure that you are worthy and that achievement is within your grasp, you start to relax and look for solutions rather than dwelling on problems. You are more likely to imagine positive situations or outcomes and disregard the thoughts related to giving up, failure, or roadblocks. What the mind expects, it finds. If you anticipate joy, good health, happiness, and accomplishment, then you will experience each one. Thinking positively may sound like a simple shift in attention — and it is — but it is a mind-set that must be developed. Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, try immediately replacing it with a constructive or optimistic one. With persistence, you can condition your mind to judge fleeting, self-defeating thoughts as inconsequential and dismiss them.

It is within your power to become as happy, content, or successful as you make up your mind to be. Staying positive may not have an immediate effect on your situation, but it will likely have a profound and instantaneous effect on your mood and the quality of your experiences. In order for positive thinking to change your life, it must become your predominant mind-set. Once you are committed to embracing positive thinking, you’ll start believing that everything that you want is within your grasp. AMEN. 😉

Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics
“Someone To Watch Over Me”

There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, “seek and ye shall find”
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody I’m longing to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me

I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who’ll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

AMEN! 🎈😎

Happy New Year’s Eve. 🎈😎

@xango,

Happy New Year’s Eve. 🎈💕😘😎

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon Oodie I wish your husband could play the Piano this weekend.
This would be a good thing for him and others too. 💕😎🎶

Wishing you both a great New Year. 🎈

Oodie I am wishing you and all a great day. I did read your post about your husband
and I think you know how to handle that.

Let me know how you are doing today.

@sheba2011

I am getting ready to visit hubby and will stay for awhile. I do not like the idea that when I turn my back, hubby does the unthinkable. But, at the same time, I know the reason behind it and in his own inimitable way he is reaching out for help so he can return home. I just hope and pray that he will now think twice before doing something outrageous. His breathing last night had me scared. And my favorite evening person was there to lend a hand. He will be there today and tomorrow as well. I wish I knew what to give him personally from the both of us.

Again, I wish you all a great New Year. Good Health and good cheer go hand in hand. May tonight bring you special memories and the togetherness you all deserve. Just think, new beginnings, new places, new thoughts and of course new ideas. So much to learn. It is an endless dream. I lift my glass to all of you on this thread and beyond. HAPPY NEW YEAR…..🎄🎁🚗🎆🎇🧨✨❤❤❤

@sheba2011

I just arrived home. Loads of fireworks en route and now in our backyard which overlooks the lake. Some of these will continue until 3 am or so.

Hubby was hoping to go out for dinner, but I had no way to help him in and out of the car. I checked the en suit bathroom and there is a bell near the throne as well as bars. All are in working order since I did check.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈I know the trails feel good.

Happy New Year and Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😘💕😎Busy day for us all.

Just want to wish you and hubby and family a great New Year. 🎈🎈

Shout out that the Game is good for us. 😎

Sending warm hugs from frozen OZ to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎🎈

@kittengirl,

Happy New Year Kitten. 🎈💕

I worked with Ella Fitzgerald we did a weekend show I was very young Ella sang
this song and blew me away. What a sweet women and so nice. 😘😎 This is my
New Year’s Eve Song and I have been doing this for years. 😘😎I worked with Ella and many
of the greats who were part of my Philharmonic Orchestra Days. 💕🎈

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve
Song by Ella Fitzgerald

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year’s Eve?
Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you received
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?
Oh, what are you doing New Year’s, New Year’s Eve?

To all in the HSN Community Happy New Year. 🎈😎

Good Morning Peeps welcome to our wonderful community and the last Saturday
of 2023.

Happy New Year to all. 🎈😎

Wishing you and your family good health in the New Year. A year full of laughter and enjoyment. A year to be thankful that your hubby is OK.. I wish you the best. of everything.

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida I hope you are keeping warm. Happy New Year to you my friend. 😉
I hope you are healing well just may take a little time I know you will get there.

I can’t believe Brazil is hot hot right now. I would love to go there we are frozen here in OZ.
Tis the season.

Hey I am making some Mexican Food today our son wants Tacos and hubby wants all the
works so I will make it happen. 🎈😘

I am going a short distance tomorrow night just two doors down and I am just dropping in
to say hello and Happy New Year to my neighbor and friend we have been doing this for over
12 years I have known them for 20 years. I will have a mask on and then I am taking off my
clothes and chill with hubby and son watching some movies. All this is due to a lot of guns
going off on New Year’s Eve I want to be safe in my home. 😉

There will be fireworks in our City as well I am glad Poppy is not scared of the works but
the cats are.

Happy New Year to you and your husband. 🎈😎

Xango, Thank you for the well wishes. It’s nice to see you posting and I sure hope you’re feeling better.
Wishing you and your husband a wonderful, happy healthy New Year too!

@sheba2011

Hello and Happy New Year to you and your family 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

We had a chilly night yesterday and it’s going to be that way for the next few nights. That’s what Winter is down here around this time. We will some nights that will go into freezing temperatures. We do every year, but not as many nights or days like the North does.

We are staying home and safe for the New Year’s Eve. In our younger years we would always go out for dinner and dancing.
Here’s wishing you and your family a healthy new year filled with happiness and laughter.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@xango

Happy New Year to you and your family as well. May 2024 bring you and your family good health and may it bring many smiles and laughter.

Under the previous management, there was a way we could e-mail people through an HSN app within Community. It was fun and a good way to meet. As soon as the new owners (actually part of the original) took over it was gone. Over the years quite a bit has changed and not all for the better. Anyway, this market is quite large, but, may be smaller than Publix or Krogers. It seems that with all the new places that this family opens, they are larger than the previous one. I know they want to head North and at this time not sure if it would be St.Pete, Tampa or Northport. I think all 3 would be closer to you. You need to look above you as well. Above and to the sides are handmade drawings. The artistry is amazing. Almost like you are in a barn or a farmhouse. The management and the employees are friendly and helpful. It’s a joy to shop at any of their markets. Checkout takes no time. Oh, forgot to mention that they make their own ice cream and you have a choice of regular or sugar free. And, on the sugar free, there are many varieties. They even have places to sit and to enjoy whatever. The tables are for everyone and so you will be seeing new faces and making new friends. They are closed on Sundays. They are opened on New Year’s Day. By the way, their hours are from 8am-8pm Mon. thru. Sat.. They also have specials they run on Mon. and Tues. or Fri. and Sat.. Love this market and you will also. Cannot wait for you to try them.

It’s getting late and again be safe tomorrow. I will be visiting hubby during the day and will leave early. I hope not to see any driver that is unable to steer correctly. You never know. My cell will be out just in case. Just wish I could be with hubby to bring in the New Year at midnight. We will definitely be looking forward to the day he returns home.

@xango,

So good to see you post and soon you will be right as rain. 😎🎈Stay warm and Happy
New Year.

@xango

Happy New Year to you and your husband.✨ Sounds like your evening will be the same as ours. Glad you are feeling a bit better and wishing you good health and happiness in 2023.

@xango

Before you head this way to visit our new Farmer’s Market, check your route. It used to take me 45 minutes to an hour to drive to Tampa. Now it is a 2 1/2 hour jaunt or better due to construction. Our first stop heading North is usually Georgia. Then that changed to Jacksonville. Now I’m looking at Ocala. When we are able to head North, I may be looking at Tampa. No matter which route we will take, there is construction.

The market is huge. Yes, they have a deli. Yes, there is fresh and frozen fish. Meat market is good. They also have a take out area for hot and cold items. There soups are good, but I have to admit that lately it is more salt than I can handle. They do have great salads in their take out as well as individually *macaroni, cold slaw, egg and potato). The fruit and veggies are good as well. The cut up fruit in a large container is what I often purchase for hubby. He enjoys pulling the cubes out by hand. This market also offers pizza, something the others do not do. As I mentioned before they have the bakery where everything is homemade. This is only about 8 minutes from our home.

Well, I am now getting ready for a stop at Costco. I just need a couple of items, but I’m sure I’ll find other things that hubby and I may like that are not on the list. It always happens. Let me know when you are down this way. I will let you know when I am going to Brandon for the Asian market which I sorely miss.

@oodiebom

Hi and Happy New Year to you and your hubby.
Wishing you and your hubby a healthy year filled with happiness.
That farmer’s market sounds likevI could spend the entire day there and that still would not be enough time 😆. I am sure I would get lost looking at everything.
We will have to plan a trip down the Bradenton. Most likely making a stop in Treasure Island. It’s been a while since we been there. We would go to a restaurant that’s very popular and have an amazing seafood dinner. Thing is, I can’t remember the name of the restaurant.
Oodie be careful driving on New Year’s eve and day.
Take care 🌹

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Sorry about your Kindle I hope you find it.
Oodie I had no problem with Trivia as you know I was back and forth in the Arcade.
I just wanted to wish all the Trivia Players a happy new year. 🎈 Well we had one person who
played and that was nice. Moving forward…

Oodie you seem to be tired and who can blame you with all the running you do.
I hope you take a day to rest and sleep on your new mattress. I would get me some
good eats and a good book or movie and call it a day. 😎

Oodie let me know how today goes for you and hubby. 🎈

@sheba2011

Wishing you and your family (even the furry ones) a Healthy (most important) and a Happy (smiles and laughter great for whatever ails you) New Year. Hope 2024 brings you everything you all desire and then some.

I ordered out again tonight and had it delivered to the Rehab. For the first time I am trying a seafood pizza and a side order of their salad one each. I have to admit this surpassed my expectations. I thought the seafood would just be shrimp. No. It was there but so was calamari, clams and other fish thrown in. I have to say it was delicious. Never tried the salad. I asked for small and I am positive these were large. They make their own salad dressing and it will definitely be good tomorrow. I will be reheating the pizza and will wrap it in aluminum foil to keep it warm. I am sure hubby will like it and if not, back to the frig. Their salad is different. Not just lettuce and tomato, but other things as well.

I waited a good half hour for the delivery. By the time it came I could not find hubby. He was not in his room and it was past the time he would have been in the dining room. I did check the living room/tv area as well. Finally, I had to ask where he was. Well, one of the nurse’s decided to check the bathroom in his room, which is shared with four men. He was sitting on the thrown. How he got to that point is beyond me. This guy cannot stand or walk and the physical therapy unit at the rehab said he had plateaued. Crazy isn’t it. Well, starting Tuesday there will be a lot of arguing on my end to get him help. He could have fallen. What is worse, there is no way for anyone to call for help in that bathroom. That I will certainly take up with the Health Department and our Health Insurance. Tomorrow I will take pictures of that area to prove my point. You know, the hospitals all have ways to contact the nurses as well as bars to help one get to the area they need. When he finally came out, he was huffing and puffing. He was sorry in a sense that he tried this on his own. Thankfully, he seems to be all right. I just hope he will be OK. I didn’t like the way he was breathing. Not like him. Sorry I am venting. I just hope and pray that others are following what is going on here and will take notice. Hopefully, hubby will be home soon. Other than that I am OK.

@oodiebom

Happy New Year to you and Mr. Oodie. Wishing you lots of happiness and good health. Sure hope the first good thing to happen in 2024 is your husband gets back home.🙏🤞💗

Oodie, Wishing you and your husband a very Happy Healthy New Year!

Florida sounds like there is so much to see and do there.
The Markets seem wonderful too.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎 Taci you are so funny my son has black out curtains in
his room when he goes back to GA I always open them every morning and close them
at night. 💕💕

I am only going to be gone briefly tomorrow night just two doors down which is a tradition
for me and hubby. We will both mask up and say hello and happy new year. We will walk
back home before the fireworks and gunshots and enjoy the night. 😉😎💕

Wishing your entire family a great New Year. 😘💕😎

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, We had some light rain but am hoping it will dry up by the time I go out for a walk.
Have a great time at the Party. I am glad you will be masked just in case.
Some people I know don’t care for them, and yah they have ended up in Urgent Care sick.
My walking friend is great about masking when needed and it seems to have worked for her.
Jay King has had some awesome Shows and wow to the Today’s Special.

Wishing you a wonderful, happy, healthy New Year!

@taci

Happy New Year to you and your family. May it be a Healthy one with new discoveries and awesome trails. I am hoping hubby will be home soon. I will know better when we meet with the orthopedist on Friday.

I also enjoy watching Jay King. He makes you feel that you are living in those caves as he looks for the stones that will become our dream pieces. By the way Heidi’s website has 50% off everything. In some cases you need to search for the item or items. Somehow she missed a couple. Anyway, just in case I miss something with Jay, I put a few in my favorites.

There is much to do in Florida. I enjoy it more when there is no heat or humidity and being outside is a pleasure and not a curse. Though it is now cold here during the day and in the evening, it doesn’t last long. Although I do remember one year when we were hit with real cold temps and the iguanas were frozen and falling from trees. Most survived since there were people around who knew what to do.

@taci,

Happy New Year Taci and the necklace is lovely. 😘😎🎈

I hope we all have a great New Year. 😎

@taci

Happy New Year, thanks for the wishes. Enjoy your evening whatever you do. I hope all good things come your way for you and the family in 2024.🎉🥂

@ TACI

Good afternoon, I don’t remember if I wished you and your family a greetings for the Holidays.
However, I would like to wish you and your family a Happy New Year. One filled with health and happiness. 🍾🍾🍾🍾

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh wishing you and your family a great New Year. 💕😘🎈😎
Thank you for being a part of life on this thread you have made me laugh so much.
I love your sense of humor I think all of us have that little sense of humor.

I hope your mother and sister enjoy the upcoming Cruise. 💕🎈I am going back to
Colorado when the weather clears up a bit right now it is a mess on the highways.

Blowing a New Year’s kiss to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘🎈Happy New Year’s my friend.

Shoelady, Happy New Year to you! Hope it’s a great 2024!

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in Oz. Yes, we have had many laughs. In fact, your message to xango above had me rolling – “I will have a mask on and then I am taking off my clothes.”😂🤣😂 Way to celebrate, Sheba!!!

Tomorrow will be low key for us. I normally eat some shrimp, have a glass of something and watch a movie or the different celebrations on TV.🍤🥂 Years ago, us and two other couples used to take turns having house parties. But we’re older now and no one wants to be out on the roads. We do have a few neighbors who shoot off firecrackers.🧨 The city has a big downtown party, even a ball that rises instead of falls.🎆🎉

Good luck in the game tomorrow, I’ll be watching.🤞 Salud to you and your family, hugs to Poppy and the kitties from Jake.🤗💖

@shoelady60

Happy New Year to you and yours. May it be filled with love, good health and loads of laughs. I wish the same to your sister and mom. Hopefully, by the time they are ready for that cruise, the temps will be a bit warmer. Normally, I am home on New Years, but this year I want to be with hubby and that means a drive. I do not want him missing out on anything and therefore will do what I can to make tomorrow a bit brighter. Hopefully, he will be home soon. I should have some news on Friday when we see the orthopedist. Stay warm and have a great evening.

@shoelady60,

Happy New Year to you and hubby. Thanks for the game shout out we need all the luck
we can. 🎈😎

@shoelady60

Hello and Happy New Year to you and your family. 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
