Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening.

@xango

Just checking to see if you and your hubby are OK. I assumed you two went on a awaycation to celebrate your anniversary. I also remember that you do not live too far from the Strawberry Festival which is still ongoing. Hope you are enjoying the warmer weather without the humidity.

I was at Aldi’s the other day and got sticker shock. I haven’t purchased eggs in a while and was totally surprised to see that they are almost $3/dozen. Their fresh fruit and veggies were higher than our Farmer’s Market. I purchased one of their small salads so I wouldn’t need to return home before seeing hubby. It looked good in the case, but when I arrived at the rehab it looked awful. I ended up tossing it into the garbage. The salad was in my freezer bag in an air conditioned car.

Prices have gone up, however our Farmer’s Market does pass on savings to their customers when they get a better deal. I am thankful for that, since other markets will keep the higher price even when it is lowered by the farmer or vender. Also, the foods I purchase do not have preservatives, thus I need to use it within a few days. However, our new frig does help to keep everything nice and fresh.

I was up most of the night because of water in our driveway. This has been going on for several days and I couldn’t figure it out when we have had no inkling of rain. Not even a drop. So last night I stayed up from 1:45 AM to 7:15 AM running water every so often from the tub and shower, all sinks and yes, all toilets. Every time I looked out from the front door there was nothing. Couldn’t figure out why. Around 7 AM I decided to put the garbage out and as I went down the driveway there was a huge puddle. It wasn’t until I got to the end of the driveway that I found the culprit. It was the new sprinkler system that our landscape gardener installed for the new plants. Evidently, the overflow goes under our home and makes a puddle and the overflow goes to our driveway which has an area that goes downward thus causing the water to collect in that spot. Well, now that I know the cause, will run out and sweep that water away. One thing for sure, I do not need to make a home for those mosquitoes.

I am now getting ready to make a couple of stops. Running late as usual, so what else is new as the saying goes. (LOL). Promised hubby’s roommate that I will look for Word Find Puzzles with Enlarged Print while I’m there for a few items for the house. Next door is the new Farmer’s Market. Hubby asked for a grinder and their famous Wedding Soup. I need some fruit and veggies along with fish. Guess I will make a quick stop at the house before venturing to Rehab.

It is close to 80 here with partial sun. We are expecting some rain and thunderstorms . Tonight will be in the mid 60s. A/C is off.

I am not a fan for jumping ahead an hour. I love the extra hour for sleep. However, if I am right, this change will become permanent in Florida starting this weekend. It will be interesting to see how the exrra hour works during the winter months.

Evolution Through Exploration

Most humans are not born consciously knowing what their purpose is — it must be found through exploration.

Most living things belong to a particular soul group and are born knowing their purpose in life. An animal will spend its day foraging for food, taking care of itself and its young, and creating a home. No one tells an animal to do this, yet it instinctively knows how. Humans, for the most part, are not born consciously knowing what their purpose is.

Purpose gives our life meaning. When you discover your purpose, you can live your life with intention and make choices that serve your objective for why you are here on the planet. Finding your purpose is not always easy. You must embrace life wholeheartedly, explore many different pathways, and allow yourself to grow.

Your purpose is as unique as you are and will evolve as you move through life. You don’t need anyone’s permission to fulfill your purpose, and no one can tell you what that purpose is. Finding and fulfilling your purpose can be a lifelong endeavor. To figure out what your purpose is, ask yourself what drives you — not what forces you out of bed in the morning, but what makes you glad to be alive. Make a list of activities that you wish you were involved in, or think about a career path that you would love to embark upon. These are the endeavors that can help you fulfill your purpose and bring you the most satisfaction.

Picture yourself working on projects that don’t interest you or fulfill your purpose, yet they help satisfy your basic survival needs. Imagine how living this way each day would make you feel. Next, picture yourself devoting your time to projects that spark your imagination, inspire, excite, and satisfy you. More often than not, these activities are some of the ways that you can fulfill your life purpose. Time spent on these endeavors will never feel like a waste. Live your life with purpose, and you will feel significant and capable because every action you take and each choice you make will have meaning to it. 😎

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and may this week be a good one. 🎈😎

@shoelady60

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Lady did your mom and sister make it home after their
Cruise? I bet they need some time to rest and have stories to tell. I hope all good. 🎈😎

Lady no worries your team will bounce back. 😎

How are you feeling today? The quick weather change from extreme hot to extreme cold
always make me unwell. I am alright today. We are a wee bit warm today but temps are
going to drop this week.

Hey take care of yourself and just rest. I am making Ribeye Steaks with all the trimmings
for hubby and I tonight. 😎

Sending warm Oz hugs to you and Jake. 😘💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈Taci I went back and brought more during that time
period. I love all my pieces and they wear and look good as the day I brought them.
Iris Apfel quality is there and I love it.

Taci food prices are insane for certain things. The fruits and veggies here in OZ turn bad
after just three days. I went to eat strawberries I had brought fresh no more than three
days later and they had all white gooey stuff on them. The plastic container with the holes
had never been opened. I threw the entire container away. I will do this next time I will return
it to the store I purchased them from. The bananas turn totally black after three days and
are real soft to the touch in the trash it went. I wonder why fruits and veggies are not lasting
and get this the fresh bread cost 3.00 a loaf and when I go to use it there is green mold
all over it. I am really careful about what I buy and I make sure to do a forensic look at
all foods and expiration dates.

I am getting over the shock of all the fast foods asking for tips when you come there and
order. Get this the people working there have a little attitude problem they act like they
don’t want to be there. Here is a example I went into MickyD I just wanted something fast
and a little change up. The set up is different because I have not been in a MickyD in a long
time when the person waited on me they don’t smile or be friendly they just hand you the
food and I am suppose to tip them if I want to. I don’t think so.

I have no problem tipping for my eyebrows and hair stylist or anything personal to do with
me. I see a trend that may have started during the pandemic. I do have food deliveries but
I do tip them. No problem there. I donate and give monies to all kinds of charities.

I guess it is what it is. GREED!

Taci Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶Thanks for letting me vent. LOL!

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎😘How are you doing today?

Oodie I don’t like your husband and everyone else being cold in the Rehab.
Yeah he can get a cold or worse. Keep those blankets handy. I am so glad you
visit everyday Oodie I have feelings about those places based on my own father’s
experience. I have to say my Step-mother she did a good job making sure he had
everything. We talk some of the time she seems to travel a lot.

Oz is a bit warmer today and we have a little sun. Poppy and I had a good time
during our walk and we will go again later in the day.

Oodie enjoy this precious time with your husband and I pray soon he will be home. 🎈

@xango,

Good morning in Florida. 🎈😎Xango we all miss you and hope you are doing well.
How is the family in Brazil? So far things are going alright here in OZ. 🎈😎

Wishing you and your husband a great Monday.

@loaf,

Good morning dear friend hoping all is well with you and your family. 🎈😎
