@shoelady60,

Good evening been a busy day and now the storms are coming this way.

Lady we are going on Monday storms tonight and tomorrow even if it is a few minutes
up the highway.

I think other family members will be there it will be a very somber event.

Sending some wine to you and your hubby who served his country. 🎈😎

Enjoy. Hey it’s Wine Day. 💕😘

@xango,

You will have some rain. We are about to storm so we are putting down things to make
them secure. I have had a very day a good one and I will do it again. 😎🎈

I am so glad your husband is helping so sorry for no rain and your herbs and plants.
Xango when you are on your feet you can always re-plant and re-grow. I will keep
praying for you.

Hey I have been so sick I was on Morphine and everything in the hospital was purple.
I never want to go through that again all caused by an emergency gall bladder surgery.
I was in that lovely hospital for eight straight days I had all kinds of tubes in me.

We are moving forward just take your time and soon you will be your good ole self. 😘💕🎈
I know your husband served our country too and I hope he is resting and enjoying you
being home. 💕

Sleep now my friend tomorrow is another day. 😎

Peace Out Peeps stay safe.

@taci

I sure hope you are feeling a little better today and can enjoy the holiday weekend. No cooking for you – take-out, delivery or whatever works for you. It is pouring rain here, glad I didn’t plan a cookout. Take care.🤗

Happy holiday to you!✨ We just got home from a surprise “open house” birthday party for a friend. Looks like storms are moving in for this afternoon and evening.⛈ Tomorrow may be okay but more again on Monday.

It was great to hear from Xango. I hope her and her husband can have a relaxing holiday.

So nice to hear you are going to Leavenworth to honor your family and the fallen. We have a large cemetery fairly close to our home that has a Memorial Day ceremony every year. As long as the weather holds up we normally attend. As you know, hubs is a veteran so it means a lot to him.😌

Enjoy your weekend, holiday hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@ Taci,

Hi Taci, hope you are feeling better.
Thank you for your kind words.
Enjoy your weekend and hopefully you will be able to go on your walks.

Remember the old saying that “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” It takes time to heal especially in the inside. Soup is great. You can add veggies and let them soften. You can puree some things as well and also make smoothies to help your immune system. I am sure the hospital gave you a list and some suggestions before they sent you home. As I said many times. I just wish I knew where you lived so I could come by to make sure you were all right. I definitely need a fix at the Asian market, but the traffic tie ups keeps me away.

Hubby is still in rehab. His mind is good. His legs not so. He is finally getting PT on a daily basis. He has a brace on the bad leg which offers the support. The other leg is starting to look good. After this weekend I will be trying to take him out for a ride and to show him several places that he may enjoy. Not so sure if I will be able to get him out of the car and into a wheelchair at this point. He is dead weight and needs to relearn how to get from Point A to B.

Great you are home. Don’t overdo anything. Just let your body heal. Missed ya.

Hi Oodiebom,
Hope you are well and your hubby is getting better.
Thank you for your post. Good to be home, I sleeping on the sofa for now.
Using the walker to get to the bathroom.
Remember those sponge bath towels that you just add water and no need to rinse. Just wipe with a dry towel? Boy they are very handy.

Hi, thank you for your kind words. It’s going to take some time. I am determined to be able to get back in my kitchen and make something delicious.

Hi Sheba,
Send some rain here. All my herbs are gone. My plants dried up and died. Hubby said no rain in many weeks. The grass is so dry and the trees are not so green.
Pain meds puts me to sleep, that’s about all I want to do. Had some pain last night, but was able to fall asleep after the meds kicked in.
Thank you for your prayers. Take care Sheba.

@xango

I am just too happy to hear from you, yay!!✨👏 Take all the time you need and have a successful recovery.🙏 Please know we are all rooting for you!👍🥰

Another sunny and beautiful day on the Gulf Coast. The temp is in the mid 80s and will probably hit the 90s soon. High humidity. Hardly a breath of air. I am about to shower and to visit hubby.
Before I forget, I did order Andrew’s Efficient in the Cranberry and Pomegranate. I’m impressed. Going to bring a packet for hubby to try.

I was going to plant the Dipladenia plants in a planter yesterday. I found two planters in our shed that were OK. The color was wrong, but they would work. So I put a planter by the driveway to see how it would look and I liked it. Went into the house to get a pair of scissors and brought the plant up front only to find that someone had stolen the planter. That will teach me never to bring anything up front until I have everything together. I then contacted the people who do our lawn and they will be out in a few days. He mentioned that they would do best in ground and will take care of the two plants for me. I am thrilled.

So happy to see a post from xango. I hope and pray that this is the beginning of better days for both of them. It had to be difficult for her husband to try and juggle work and seeing her on a daily basis. I wonder if this had something to do with her fall last year in the supermarket.

Hubby is receiving Physical Therapy daily. He wears a brace on the left foot for support. He says he will walk again and not to bother with a ramp. Hmm……I think a ramp is a good idea. It will keep me from falling and tripping up and down those steep steps.

I am still doing KP in the kitchen. Everytime I use Clean Boss I become more and more impressed. The top of our stove looks brand new and this is the first time I can say that. Unfortunately, I still have not been able to use the new dishwasher. The plumber will finally be here sometime after the weekend. Meanwhile I am doing handwashing which does take time and not a happy camper knowing that it will all need to be really sanitized in the dishwasher later. To re-empty the cabinets is not my cup of tea.

I am totally impressed with the new Hex Clad pans that were a TS last week. Though made in China, they are sturdy and everything comes out perfect. The heating element is what I am most impressed with. The bottom of the pan heats everything at the same time. Cleaning is a pleasure. And the top and bottom do fit nicely together where one becomes a cover. Hubby enjoys an omelet now and then, so the two pans will come in handy at that time. Though they can go into the oven at 500 degrees, I will keep it way under. I like using the temps between 350 and 375. I think Taci would be impressed. I started looking at these pans in Amazon when they were first introduced by Chef Ramsey. Several months later Costco had three pans in stock for $70 +. I thought the price was too high and at the time did not understand the concept. My thoughts were that they were nothing more than a regular easy to clean pan. Little did I know. Cannot wait to try my Asian cooking skills in these pans.

Here’s to a great Memorial weekend. Would love to be at your home to enjoy the grilling by your mastery chef. Someday, I hope and pray that we will be doing just that in our own backyards. Like you, I cannot wait to bring hubby home. There will be much to celebrate on that day. Stay safe. Enjoy the moonlight and the stars as you walk with Poppy.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 🎈💕😎We have a lot going on in OZ.
Hey Xango posted last night and what a joy. 💕 Xango has been through a lot

How are you doing today? Hubby and I are going up the road to Leavenworth
to visit relatives and lay flags out it is very beautiful and peaceful there. 🎈

Sending sweet hugs to you and Jake enjoy this weekend. 😘😎💕🎈
