@oodiebom,

See you at the top as I start the thread for today. I am not liking how they are doing your
husband. I would pay to see go out of that door and soon.

I arrived home about an hour ago. Wanted to make sure hubby was warm enough before I left.

Stopped at the Farmer’s Market prior to visiting hubby. Picked up a few salad items for me and an Italian grinder for him. While browsing the take out area noticed they had a complete dinner of corned beef and cabbage. Sounded good, so I bought one to share with hubby. We usually make our own corned beef, but this year it’s a bit different. However, I must admit that this was not bad. Actually, it was quite tasty. Plenty of corned beef with cabbage. Mixed in were boiled potatoes (goth yellow and red) along with carrots. Hubby loved it and there was more than enough for two. He is craving apples. I do have one in the frig which I will need to puree. He cannot bite into one because he takes too big of a bite and then starts coughing. The last episode almost sent him to the ER.

When I arrived hubby was shivering. Because of rushing around and with the temps almost 80, I did not feel the A/C. Hubby had only a sheet. No blanket. He was no where near the top of the bed, so made him move upwards. I took the sheet off and covered him. Saw one of the aids and asked for a quilt. She brought one almost immediately. Since it was a queen size, folded it and at the same time redid the bedding again. My only question was why someone didn’t see this when they delivered his dinner and then returned for the tray. I asked if he ate and he said yes. I think he lied. But, I have no way of knowing. Anyway, he not only enjoyed the Irish dinner, but also the cupcake and chocolate chip cookies. All this was made in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I will need to get their recipe on the cupcakes. They were delicious and there are quite a few left which are sitting on the nightstand.

An aid came into the room about an hour later. Hubby was still cold and I happened to say that we had a Sherpa blanket that was taken about two weeks ago and was never returned. She went looking for it and found it. At that point hubby was ready for bed and everything needed to be changed. The room was now icy. Luckily, I had one of my winter jackets, but pretended I was warm so I could give him something while the bedding was changed from top to bottom including new pillowcases. Within ten minutes hubby was again under covers and warming up. I stayed another hour or so.

We will have another nice day tomorrow and then rain on Monday. We will have more spring like weather for a few days and then back to summer. Our nighttime temps will be in the 50s. Daytime 60s to low 70s. Hope you three had a nice evening and accomplished whatever. Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day.

Hope xango is OK.

Sheba, Early Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you.
The trails were awesome today. No critters today, however, there was a rattler on the trail yesterday. That’s why I look down and I stopped to take a picture and the snake gently moved off the trail. Nice snake! Speaking of snakes, Serpentina earrings arrived today and I absolutely love them!
Hope Xango is ok as Oodie mentioned she hasn’t posted for a while.
I remember watching the Wizard of Oz as a kid, on our family’s Black & White TV. It scared me a little back then. We were among the last of anyone to get a color tv. Parents weren’t big on technology. We had encyclopedias. Remember those.

@shoelady60,

Good evening enjoy your night. 🎈😎 Oz is fine tonight. We will be cold in the morning.

Sweet Dreams.

Peace Out Peeps. 😎

How Are Things in Glocca Morra?

I hear a bird, a Glocca Morra bird.
It well may be he’s bringing me a cheer’in word.
I hear a breeze, a river Shannon breeze.
It well may be it’s followed me across the seas.
Then tell me please
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove?
Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that laddie with the twinklin’ eye
Come whistlin’ by
And does he walk away,
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?
So I ask each weepin’ willow
And each brook along the way,
And each lad that comes a-whistlin’
Tooralay
How are things in Glocca Morra
This fine day?

Ole Devil Moon – Petula Clark

I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It’s that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It’s that old devil moon in your eyes

You and you glance make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazing their light
Can’t hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle

You’ve got me flyin’ high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It’s that old devil moon in your eyes

Just when I think
I’m free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love

Look to the Rainbow
Song by Don Francks, Fred Astaire, and Petula Clark

On the day I was born,
Said my father, said he.
I’ve an an elegant legacy
Waitin’ for ye,
‘Tis a rhyme for your lips
And a song for your heart,
To sing it whenever
The world falls apart.
Look, look
Look to the rainbow.
Follow it over the hill
And the stream.
Look, look
Look to the rainbow.
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
‘Twas a sumptuous
To bequeath to a child.
Oh the lure of that song
Kept her feet funnin’ wild.
For you never grow old
And you never stand still,
With whippoorwills singin’
Beyond the next hill.
Look, look
Look to the rainbow.
Follow it over the hill
And the stream.
Look, look
Look to the rainbow.
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow,
Follow the fellow
Who follows a dream.
