Conversation 24
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 24 out of the
series. I created and started this thread 10 years ago.
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe. 🌹✨😎

Tuesday Afternoon
Song by The Moody BluesTuesday afternoon
I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
I’m looking at myself reflections of my mind
It’s just the kind of day to leave myself behind
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love
If you’ll just come with me you’ll see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh -
Good Morning Peeps and welcome to our lovely community have fun on this
beautiful Tuesday. 😎🎈 -

NATIONAL UNDERGROUND AMERICA DAY | May 14
On May 14th, National Underground America Day recognizes the approximately 6,000 people who live in some form of underground architecture across North America. The observance also celebrates the lifestyle, architecture, and benefits of underground living.
Subterranean living boasts energy conservation as one of its top advantages. Completely covered homes or earth-sheltered homes are covered on all sides with soil while earth-bermed homes leave one side exposed. Both allow for more stable temperatures within the home and less exposure to the elements.
However, living in an underground home also poses some disadvantages. If you like lots of light and throwing open the windows on a summer day, this type of house might not be for you. While the underground lifestyle may not be for everyone, the observance encourages exploring earth homes to discover the options available.

NATIONAL BUTTERMILK BISCUIT DAY | May 14
May 14th ushers in National Buttermilk Biscuit Day to celebrate this high-rising breakfast staple.
Biscuits are made using baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast. A typicalbuttermilk biscuit recipe contains flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, and buttermilk. They are often referred to as a “quick bread,” indicating they do not need time to rise before baking. While being made, the dough is beaten and folded to incorporate air, which expands while baking, causing the biscuit to rise.
Before the American Civil War, biscuits emerged as an inexpensive addition to meals. This sturdier bread product soon became popular as people realized it absorbed the gravy on their plate better than plain bread. Soon a new family favorite, biscuits, and gravy, was created.
Alexander P. Ashbourne patented the first biscuit cutter in 1875.
Supermarkets offer canned biscuits that are refrigerated until ready to be baked. In 1931, Ballard and Ballard patented these refrigerator biscuits.
Biscuits have been a staple of the Southern United States cuisine for many years and are often made with buttermilk. Traditionally served as a side dish with butter, they are also served at breakfast with molasses, light sugarcane syrup, maple syrup, sorghum syrup, honey, jam, or jelly, or as a breakfast sandwich.

NATIONAL DANCE LIKE A CHICKEN DAY
National Dance Like a Chicken Day on May 14th encourages everyone to dance like a chicken! This day entertains from start to finish with people flapping their arms and strutting chicken-like. Everyone has probably danced the “Chicken Dance”at least once in their lifetime. This silly fun song is popular at wedding dances, Oktoberfest, and other celebrations, too. The song gets people of all ages up and moving on the dance floor.
Written in the 1950s by Werner Thomas, a Swiss accordionist, the Chicken Dance didn’t even make it to the United States until sometime in the 1970s. The Chicken Dance is associated with polkas or oom-pah-pah music. Originally written with the name Der Ententanz (The Duck Dance), rumors suggest the song was written as a drinking song for Oktoberfest. The song’s title later changed to Vogeltanz (The Bird Dance).
Upon arriving in America in the 1970s, the song acquired choreography with repetitive beak, wing, and tail motions, as well as the new name, The Chicken Dance.

Sheba, Mothers Day was nice, and quiet. I can’t go out to eat with the crowds and enjoyed a nice day home and hiking. Hope your Mothers Day was a great one.
I don’t know how you sort the food for the cats from the raccoons from the coyotes and other critters. Maybe you will be feeding the forest soon.
My husband and son went on a long bike ride today. The bike trail was about 4 hours. They had to go now as it gets too hot to go very soon.
Have a great week! -
Lady you are right about an Ark. 😎We will rain all week and we had a good amount last
week. I keep checking the sump pump and I always look up for falling trees.Lady when I walk Poppy he is a fast moving dog and so am I. LOL! 😎😘
I don’t let weather affect us too much we just dress the part. The one thing I have learned
is not to mess with ICE. The fall I had was knocker I can dance, skate and balance myself
very well. I was looking for my neighbor’s paper and I was not paying attention around me.
I was watching Poppy as we started out of the driveway and the next thing I knew I hit my
head on hard concrete and Ice. My son was here at the time and did not hear me. I was
able to get up and walk so that was a good sign but son made me call my private doctor
and they told me what to do and what to look out for. Honest the Bump was the size of
a Goose Egg in the very back it took a minute to go down and I was home free I even seen
a doctor since then. I think falling for anyone is no joke. I carry my cell phone in my pocket
as I wear leggings with pockets so I can handle Poppy’s leash. God was looking out for me
that day a lot of people went to the Hospital that day it was really bad.This is for you and hubby to enjoy sweet dreams. 😘💕

Good evening OZ is raining like cray cray. The cats managed to get on the porch and grab
the food and get out of the rain.I know how you feel about your husband’s piano. Oodie in this day and age people will
take anything they can get their hands on when out in a public or open place. So sad.I feel that is a lot for you to carry around unless you can do it for a special event or just
because. 💕😘 I think it will do him a world of good and maybe those around him including
staff may appreciate the music. 🎶🎶Treat yourself to a nice hair cut and style. I had some beauty treatments this weekend and
I felt a world of difference. I have a habit of trying to do too much and then when I look in
the mirror I am like wait a minute I don’t think so. LOL!I don’t know about all those signs in Florida affecting your drive home but here in Kansas
they are fixing highways and getting around can be a PITA. 😎We are almost 58 degrees tonight with cold rain. I had to take more food out and the cold
rain made me do it in a hurry. Poppy was not amused. I bet those other critters will be around
if anything is left they are welcome to it.My plants and flowers bloom better in the rain. 💕
