NATIONAL SIMPLICITY DAY

National Simplicity Day on July 12 honors transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, a man who advocated a life of simplicity. A man of many talent and skill, Thoreau was a supporter of living the simple life and encouraging others to do the same.

Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) lived his life as many things including an author, naturalist, philosopher, and historian. He was also known to be a tax resister, abolitionist, development critic, and surveyor. His book, Walden, is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings.

@loaf,

Wishing you a wonderful Friday keep cool and have fun with the kids. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good day in Florida. 😎🎈😘I had an excellent physical and labs today. All my labs were
near perfect. This is one of the best physicals I had I mean she could not find anything
out of order. YAY! 🎈😎Liver and Kidneys are doing well everything is where it should be.

Wishing you a cool day OZ is hot and my microwave over the range went out going to
buy a new one.

Take it easy today. 💕

@sheba2011

Hello gorgeous, wonderful on the results of your labs and physical👏👏👏👏👏sending you a Brazilian hug of congratulations 🫂.

Best of luck on getting a new microwave, I hope you find yourself a good one.
We don’t have the best, it was placed by the builder, its not the top brand either. I don’t use it much, mostly in the mornings to heat my milk for coffee. Hubby makes his popcorn daily in it. And sometimes heats something in it.

The two bunnies are in the backyard as I write this. Just came from outside, feeding them lettuce and strawberries.

Congratulations again 👏 💖 Sheba on a wonderful result 👏

Take care Sheba ❤️❤️ 🌹🌹

@xango,

Thank you for your post. I am so glad that is over there is nothing like good health. 😎🎈

I love your animals and I know they appreciate all you do for them. My husband is
feeding the cats now. 💕

We are hot in OZ. 😎🎈

This drink should help cool things down. 😎💕Thank you for the hug I really needed it. 💕😘

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I know this is Friday and you have goals you
are working on for your husband. Go oodie! 😎🎈

All went very well at my doctor’s office this morning everything is where it should be. 🎈😎

I hope you are not too tired after your day is done but I bet you will feel better and so will
your husband.

Let me know how things goes for you today. 💕

@sheba2011

I just knew you would pull out all the stops on your doctor’s visit. Way to go!!!!😉😉

I hope you found the replacement for your microwave. I love my LG. It’s getting up in years now, but see that the one I have is still manufactured. I would purchase again in a heartbeat.

I am now working on getting my hubby home sooner rather than later if at all possible. Friday was one of those days where nothing really went right. Started with the card from Sam’s. Had to pull everything apart to find it. Took over an hour in heat and humidity. By the time I finished was too late to return home to make something for dinner, so went direct to Rehab. It was after 6 when I arrived. Went on line and order Asian from a place I never tried. Turned out it was
the best I ever had so far in the USA. Very close to what we both enjoyed while in Asia. Hubby loved it also. Even though he had dinner the aid came in as he was chowing down and decided to give me an ear full. She accused me of trying to kill hubby. Yes, he has trouble swallowing. However, what I chose looked hard, but in reality was soft. He enjoyed every morsel of the Dragon and Phoenix. He was not happy with the Aid. Long story short I have been asked not to bring food and if I do to eat in another area. What better way for me to get on my hunches and to get this place ready in a heartbeat for his return. I will need to redo at least one bathroom to make the shower easy for a wheelchair to get in and out of. At the same time will make the sink and toilet wheelchair accessible as well. I will now be looking for PT at home as well as someone to help me help him in eating. The road won’t be easy, but at least he will be home and will be able to go from room to room and do whatever. Not to worry. Will be working with our healthcare provider to make sure that this house is ready and all the t’s and i’s are crossed and dotted. Now on my way to a shower and then to Costco.

Oh, forgot to mention. Called the Head Nurse for the Unit. His last day was Wednesday. That should tell you something.

@oodiebom,

OMG! I just read your post and I cannot believe what they told you. How about this if I have
to eat in another room and I cannot feed my husband we are out of here.

This makes no sense to me. All the money they are getting and your husband is still there.
The nurse leaving I am not surprised. Hurry Oodiebom and get your home ready.

I feel anything they can do in that place you can do at home with some help.

I need to take it easy this makes my head spin. I wish I were there just to make sure they
did everything possible that could help your husband.

I have a lot to say about that place but not in English.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Keep it cool and enjoy your deck. 😎🎈

Lady all went very good at the doctor’s office she left no stone unturned. 💕😘😎

All my eating habits and walking is paying off. This inspires me to do even more.

Hey sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 💕🎈😎

@sheba2011

Another hot one, looks like 90’s into next week.🔥

Yay for your labs, good job! Glad that is over for six months. Hubs went for some annual heart tests this morning.

Hope you find a new microwave quickly. It was one year ago last week that I got my new one. Other than the fridge, that is my most used appliance in the kitchen.

Have a nice evening, prayers for you and your family.🙏 Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening hubby was with me when we went looking and because it’s an over
the range type we had to go online and order it. 😎🎈I brought it brand spanking
new nothing last like they use to.

I hope everything is fine for your husband at his check up today.

Enjoy your evening and keep cool. I had vaccines shots in both arms and I am feeling it. 😎

@71flowerchild,

Good day in New Mexico or Texas just be safe. Post when you can.
Sending cool hugs to Little D and Mabel. 🎈😎💕

Keep safe in both States. I am thinking of you.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and may this summer be a good one for you Kitten. 😎🎈

Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.

“No one will come and save you. No one will come riding on a white horse and take all your worries away. You have to save yourself, little by little, day by day. Build yourself a home. Take care of your body. Find something to work on. Something that makes you excited, something you want to learn. Get yourself some books and learn them by heart. Get to know the author, where he grew up, what books he read himself. Take yourself out for dinner. Dress up for no one but you and simply feel nice. it’s a lovely feeling, to feel pretty. You don’t need anyone to confirm it.”

NATIONAL RAINIER CHERRY DAY

National Rainier Cherry Day on July 11 recognizes the cherry variety named after Mount Rainier. In 1952, Harry Fogle of Washington State University developed the Rainier cherry by cross-breeding the Bing and Van cherry varieties.

The sweet Rainier cherries have a thin skin and a thin creamy-yellow flesh. Cherries are a temperamental crop that is sensitive to temperature, wind, and rain. Each season, birds eat almost one-third of the crop. While cherries in general present growing challenges, Rainier cherries are unique. Their delicate skins require the cherries to be hand-picked. However, superior taste keeps producers and consumers coming back for more.

NATIONAL BLUEBERRY MUFFIN DAY

National Blueberry Muffin Day on July 11 gives us a great reason to get up in the morning and celebrate! Americans love their blueberry muffins so much, it’s their number 1 favorite muffin flavor. Whether it is for breakfast or a snack, blueberry muffins are melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

While enjoying a delicious blueberry muffin, consider the powerhouse the blueberry is. This once wild berry became domesticated during the early 1900s thanks to the observations of Elizabeth Coleman White and the research of Dr. Frederick V. Coville. Before their efforts, wild blueberries were never successfully transplanted and raised in any farming operation for personal or commercial production. The only way to enjoy fresh blueberries was to seek them out where they grew naturally.

Today we can enjoy the abundant potassium, vitamin C and B6, and other health benefits of the blueberry much more readily than they did 120 years ago. We bake them into muffins and eat them by the handfuls.

ALL AMERICAN PET PHOTO DAY

All American Pet Photo Day encourages pet owners to share their favorite pet photos on July 11. Be sure to charge your camera and be prepared to take adorable pictures of your pets!

Whether they are the four-legged furry kind or come from the more serpentine species, click away. Fishes and birds, pigs and equine, canine and feline should all get in line for their favorite pose. If they are friends, take a few snapshots of them together! On All American Pet Photo Day, every pet gets included.

When it comes to capturing the perfect image of your loyal pal, it might take some effort. Like humans, some furry and not so furry friends are camera shy. A pocketful of treats helps ease them into the shot. If bribery doesn’t work, sometimes exercise before the photoshoot will. Another option is misdirection. Focus their attention on another area beyond the lens of the camera, and you might get the picture you want. If all else fails, wait until your sweet companion falls asleep and click away. They’re at their cutest when they’re resting anyway.

Remember to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Don’t let your pet become overheated or over-anxious. A stressed pet won’t take a good photo. Defer to your pet’s temperament, toss out the costumes, and accept the blurred selfie.

NATIONAL MOJITO DAY

Each year on July 11, people across America raise a glass to mark National Mojito Day. The cocktail consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, sparkling water, and mint. Follow along as you sip your mojito and learn a few facts about the delicious mojito be

The Mojito is a traditional Cuban highball, and while rumored to be a drink favored by the author Ernest Hemingway, it’s never been proven. It seems the story behind Hemingway and the Mojito is a tall tale to attract visitors and to sell drinks. Isn’t every origin story behind a drink designed to sell more of the original anyway?

Whether Hemingway ever had a Mojito or even liked it, doesn’t matter. With a low alcohol content, this refreshing cocktail gains popularity in the summertime for its refreshing combination of sweetness, citrus, and mint flavors. The exhilarating flavor says summer and stimulates the palate, too. The Mojito serves up a perfect pairing with barbecues and evenings at the beach.

If you catch a butterfly
and hold it too tightly,
its delicate wings will be crushed.
But if you let it rest on your palm,
it may choose to stay for a while.
And so, in this life,
I have learned to love people
like butterflies,
enjoying their presence while they are here,
while not fearing
when it is their time to leave,
as I know that my love will remain for them
once they are gone.
And should they wish to one day,
then they may return.
And if they should choose not to,
then it is okay,
as for every beautiful garden,
many butterflies will come.

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio and may this be a nice Thursday for you and the kids. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good day in Florida😎🎈💕I love you are back to baking no matter how small. 💕😎
Perfect lunch you had yesterday. My internet was knocked out last evening OZ had
a much welcome thunderstorm. Things are running alright this morning. 💕🎈

I want to ask how is your grand niece I pray she is making a full recovery. 🎈💕

Poppy have already had a good walk we both needed it before the day gets hotter.

Keep cool and enjoy your coffee. 😘

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎I had internet issues last night and we had
a nice thunderstorm we needed the rain. Lost power in some parts of the house known
as a brown out.

Oodie melon soup sounds good and I am so glad you have a good Aid to help with
all you do for your husband I think you are a great wife.😎💕

Let me know how things goes today. I can’t wait for your husband to come home.

@sheba2011

I cannot wait for hubby to return home either. However, I can now see he is working hard and I know it will take some time.

The itchiness for me is now gone. Will use Clean Boss on the wheelchair tomorrow and everywhere. Clothing and hangers will go into plastic garbage bag and straight to our laundry area. I will be soaking the hangers as well. The nurse next door was absolutely right on.

I did not go shopping yesterday as planned. Will start with Costco cause I need to gas up. The new ad for the Farmer’s Market is out starting today and there are many things I will purchase. Their sale prices are pretty good for the next seven days. Glad I waited.

It is very cloudy here and there are storms on the horizon. Hoping we will get some rain drops in the next few hours, though the headaches, for now, are non existent. Well, I have clothes in the dryer and I need to do some folding before the wrinkles set in.

I purchased a HD bracelet. The clasp was broken. The return label goes directly to HD which I find very unusual. Now wonder if this is because she may be leaving HSN. Not schedule for August, will wait to see what happens in September. I know she usually takes one of the summer months away from Fl.. Cannot blame her for wanting to be near the beach and pool. And then there is always a trip to her second home in France. She is so busy. But her smile and laughter lingers on until we meet again.

@oodiebom,

Good evening hope your day went well. Oodie HD repairs have always went to her office
in New Jersey. I remember her saying years ago they will repair at no cost also her
Anniversary Month is September I believe she may be in Paris or traveling right now.

I will make a new thread for her Anniversary Month of September. 😎🎈

I am just taking it easy as we have another thunder storm coming to OZ.

I see all the stars in heaven no clouds but they will come soon.

@taci,

Good morning in California. I am so glad you got the Rarities Earrings. 😎🎈
Look at you hair cut and colored now that what I call a good day. 😎💕🎈

Taci rock those earrings I love them. 😎

Very Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, Hope you had a great Thursday. I noticed Oodie posted about Heidi Daus. I too sent back one of the Serpentina earrings due to one tiny missing stone. I think Ms. Heidi will be enjoying the Olympics this summer thus no shows. Hope it’s a blast for anyone venturing to Paris soon.
Today I experimented with the new George Foreman grill that I bought at Aldi’s recently. My son tried it 1st when I had to go out and he seems to have inherited my cooking inability, however he can make pizza from scratch. He didn’t season the chicken and cooked it for too long.. Tonight I tried it with seasoning and OO and hubs said it was good. The rest I saved for my son.
What’s going on in Oz? Any Sunflower farm visits planned?

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I hope you enjoy your meal yesterday I love it when a husband
bring home Italian Food and I don’t have to cook in this heat. 💕🎈

My internet was out last night and came back online early morning. I think this heat
is affecting a lot of things.

I plan to do this and that today nothing special. I do keep it moving.

Sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 🎈💕😎

@71flowerchild,

Good day in Texas or New Mexico I am concerned about both. As long as you and the
fur babies are fine that will have to do until you are able to write. No rush just be safe. 🎈

This is the kind of day I hope you are having. Where ever you are.

@kittengirl,

Good Morning in California please be well wishing you a wonderful day. 🎈😎

NATIONAL PINA COLADA DAY

July 10 recognizes a sweet, rum-based cocktail on National Pina Colada Day. Today, we are anxiously waiting for the end of the work day to enjoy the cream of coconut and pineapple juice with a dash of run cocktail.

Pina Colada means ‘strained pineapple,’ a reference to the freshly pressed and strained pineapple juice used in the drink.

While pineapple has been a part of the distillation history of rum, coconut didn’t show up until later. The first written reference to a pina colada was in 1922. However, two different claims to the invention of the pina colada in 1952 come from San Juan. Neither wavers from their story.

No matter who created the first creamy, sweet rum drink, it is forever infused with the ocean and beaches. The cocktail’s bright flavor suggests sunshine and vacation. Coconut alone makes us think of suntans while the pineapple’s freshness delivers a sparkling note of summer breezes.

The beverage isn’t the only way to celebrate either. The day is dedicated to all things pina colada. Whether we make a dessert or snack on pina colada jelly beans, everyone can join in the day.

Put on your sunglasses, kick back, and enjoy a sip or a taste. It’s the best way to celebrate.

NATIONAL KITTEN DAY

National Kitten Day on July 10 purrfectly celebrates the cuddly warmth of a kitty. The miniature fur balls of energy snuggle their way into our hearts with no effort at all. Within a flick of their tiny ears, we’re in love.

National Kitten Day reminds us that while kittens are well equipped to find their way into our hearts, many don’t find homes. They’re abandoned at shelters, on the side of the road or wild and feral. Spaying and neutering our pets, including our cats, is vital to their health and keeping the stray population down.

Another goal of awareness campaigns like this one is to encourage adoptions. Instead of purchasing a kitten from a pet store, adopt from a shelter. Many kittens are born in shelters. While their ages may vary, all kittens do become cats.

NATIONAL CLERIHEW DAY

On July 10 each year, National Clerihew Day in the United States celebrates a poem style created by Edmund Clerihew Bentley. His four-line biographical poem offers a brief, though whimsical, approach to poetry.

An English novelist and humorist, Edmund Clerihew Bentley (July 10, 1875 – March 30, 1956), created the first-ever Clerihew at the age of 16.

@loaf,

Good day in your corner of the world. Loaf I do hope all is well with your family.
I am wishing you a wonderful summer. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida. 😎🎈I hope this Wednesday afternoon finds you doing
well. 💕 I like saying that to you because I mean it especially after all you have been
through.

So glad things are better and the little critters are coming back again. 💕🎈

All my cats are coming and going they know I am back from Colorado. I was glad to see
them and they were happy to see me. I make sure they have fresh clean water everyday.

No one was more happy than Poppy this dog is still at my side. LOL!

I have A/C service check-up this afternoon. We do this to make sure everything is running
smooth very warm in OZ this year and every place else on earth. 😎

I am going to have a nice cool salad later today and some watermelon. 💕😎

Well some like it hot. 😎😘💕Take care and have a nice Wednesday.

@sheba2011

Hello Sheba, another hot day, humidity 90 percent. It’s hard to do anything outside.
Even with the heat outside, I made some bread. Just three small French breads 🥖.
Having a salad and tuna for dinner.

Take care Sheba 🌹

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I did read your post from last night and you
have a lot of things to do. I hope you bring your Clean Boss I clean everything with it and the
smell does not last too long. 💕

So far so good with my mother we have many hands on deck in Colorado. 💕😘
I love my mom so much we are very close.

I hope your husband is able to come home soon. Just take it one day at a time.

Oz is warm today with a lot of pollen. I am fine with that Poppy and I went out very early.
I do have an A/C check to make sure our whole house A/C runs smooth. This we do every
year as well as for the furnace.

I hope you are getting some much needed rest. I would love to be a fly on the wall
when you and the Aid are done cleaning that room. 😎🎈I would treat hubby to a great
meal he can eat. 💕

MEOW! 😎💕

@sheba2011

Good afternoon. I’m in the midst of doing laundry and then will dress for seeing hubby with a stop at the Farmer’s Market. I do need veggies and fruit. And they are showing a new mango that is tropical. Cannot wait to have a taste. When you cut it in half, it looks like a huge grape inside that is similar to the lychee fruit.

As I stated before, my neighbor is a nurse and what she told me makes perfect sense. Yes, I will be using “Clean Boss” on the dresser top and the three huge drawers hubby uses. I may also do the other side as well since his roommate (a new one) has returned home. Hubby is glad. He went two or more weeks without having his clothes washed. Wore the same thing daily. Again, no visitors or someone bringing him fresh clothing. The aid will be on duty beginning at 3:45 pm. I will start earlier with the dresser drawers and top and then will go on to the closet. I will aslo bring the hangers home to wash as well. Hopefully, this will end the itching episodes. I have also asked that someone scrub his back while in the shower room. I also have included the wheelchair because it is steel and vinyl. I have no idea why they would not put a towel on the back or on the seat. I have asked that this be done to prevent sweating. Even the mattress is made of something other than fabric. There is no mattress pad. The top sheet goes on top of this mattress and could be another reason for the itches. This aid is fantastic and happens to be a man. Hubby is the last patient he works on. They both have a great sense of humor and laugh all the time. When I’m with hubby he always asks if I need anything, knocks on the door and pops his head in from time to time. I also will bring a broom, a scooper and a mop. The bed has wheels, so it will be easy to move around. Waiting until Friday so that the two of us can remove the mattress.

I think I am ready for the melon soup. Need carrots (I pick up the loose ones), bok choi, honeydew melon, and chicken stock for soup. I also will use pork ribs. I use the greens from the bok choi. Nothing goes to waste, though I do remove most of the fat from the ribs and any fat in the soup is strained out. Almost forgot, Vidalia onion and garlic. If Chinese Cabbage is on sale, will purchase a small one and use a few leaves. We enjoy soup all year. That reminds me to also include gazpacho. Nothing like a cold soup on a very hot day.

Have a great evening. I haven’t seen the moon or stars in over a week. The evenings have been pretty dark with occasional heat lightning in a cloud of two.

@sheba2011

Here’s one for the record books. I sat in hubby’s wheelchair and by the time I arrived home my back was itchy. Could not wait to head for a shower. Now I know the culprit, and my neighbor was absolutely correct. I think I will purchase a mattress cover and hope that no one throws it away. My poor guy is itchy from top to bottom and has whelps that are huge. My back is the same. Benedryl will stop the itch and the rest will be history. And the nurse on duty tonight said it was impossible. Clean Boss will be coming with me tomorrow. I will be doing the wheelchair and then will find a towel or two for the back and seat. These two things have to be the culprit. Cannot wait to do his side of the room. Friday cannot come soon enough.

@oodiebom,

Holy Smoke! Get your husband out of that place as soon as he is able.
This is too much. No one should have to suffer in a medical setting the way
he has.

Oh no I would get a second doctor I could bare to see my husband suffer like that.

Clean Boss it is.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I hope this is a cool day for you and your hiking. 😎

Taci I am looking at the Rarities Earrings let me know if this is the right one and if not
just give me the item number. I love this look. I like anything with Tassel. 😎💕

Both of us being Leo’s we have a lot in common. 😎🎈

Enjoy those veggies and let me know which earrings are correct.

Hey Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, yes, those are the ones. They are big for me but I think they look pretty.
Shoelady likes them too. Yay! I purchased them with the black stone in the drop.
Got my hair colored and cut today then hiked.
Hope all is well and say hello to Poppy!

@taci

Taci, these are lovely. We have similar taste in jewelry. I have to watch the length in earrings because I have a short neck. Treat yourself!✨

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕I know it is hot all over just chill and take it easy.
I know soon your sister is leaving for a bit and your hands will be very busy. 🎈

Enjoy your Patio and a good book or whatever you like. 💕😎

Sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. Computer acting all wonky today so taking me forever to get things done.😕

Another hot day🔥 in the 90’s so hubs ran up the street to our local Italian restaurant and picked up a few things for dinner. Yay, no cooking! We have not gotten any rain from the hurricane but it is very windy. Hope the storm passes us by.

Josh looks pretty handsome, may have to invite him over.😂 You can join us, I already have the peaches and berries.🍊🍓 Special hugs to you, Poppy and the kitties.🤗💖

Shoelady, thanks for the comment about the earrings. There were only 6 reviews.
I decided to purchase them. Something fun!
Hope you enjoyed your Italian dinner.
I owe hubs 2 dinners out but he seems to like to be home more.

@71flowerchild,

Good day in Texas or New Mexico. 🎈😎💕I have seen some of the Texas weather there
and other places. Good grief.

Are you and hubby in a safe area? First Ruidoso and now Texas. I pray everyone is safe.

Please when and if you have time let me know how things are going in both States.

Sending safe hugs to you, Little D and Mabel. 😎🎈

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten may this Wednesday be a great day for you.

I Will Always Love You
Song by Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go, but I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, you, mm, mm
Bittersweet memories
That is all I’m taking with me
So goodbye, please don’t cry
We both know I’m not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you
You
Darling, I love you
I’ll always, I’ll always love you

NATIONAL SUGAR COOKIE DAY

Each year on July 9 we honors the ever-popular and delicious sugar cookie on National Sugar Cookie Day. Whether you love your cookie plain or decorated, sugar cookies are a sweet addition to our snack list.

NATIONAL DIMPLES DAY

On July 9 we admire those who have an adorable natural indentation known as the dimple on National Dimples Day.

Dimples are often associated with cute babies and good looking adults. Only 20-30% of the entire world population has dimples. Although most people possess two dimples, a rare few produce only one when smiling.

Dimples are considered a genetic trait. Normally, if one person in a family has dimples, it’s likely another family member will. Some scientists believe we inherit dimples. However, other scientists believe dimples are a random trait people have. Until more research is available, no one knows which genes produce dimples. In fact, there is very little scientific research available to make a determination.

Facial Dimple Types

Dimple on both cheeks.
Chin dimple or cleft chin.
One-sided cheek dimple.
Corner of mouth dimple.

I have them all.

COW APPRECIATION DAY

Have you herd? Things go udderly awry in the middle of July each year during Cow Appreciation Day. People dress like bovines for free food. It’s a moo-ving experience to witness designed to save the lives of cows everywhere for just one day. How? By eating chicken instead, that’s how.

Well maybe 10 people. 😎

😎

Good Morning Peeps and enjoy this Tuesday in our wonderful Community. 😎🎈

Hello Sheba, was up very early today. Caught two bunnies running across the street into the front yard. They stayed there as the Sun came up. One sat facing the front door, I wondered if he/she thought I was going to open the door and throw some strawberries out to them.
Then tried to go back to sleep, but the grass cutting crew started cutting and making lots of noise.
Made veggies and shrimp for dinner, hubby was pleased.
I am glad all went well for your labs, in and out. I am praying for great results, and I am sure it will be.
Take care Sheba 🌹

@xango,

Good evening hey I made salmon and brown rice with a crisp salad hubby loved it. 💕😎
My husband weight about 138 and is 5’11 excellent shape and health. Hubby likes to wear
his tight jeans when off from work and he looks good in them.

One of the girls who used to post here Bison called him Cool Hand Luke and that is exactly
who he is. 💕

Love the bunnies coming for your fruit. I am so glad the fireworks have stopped.
I think those deer were scared and came to our yard. I have not seen them I just
hope they are safe.

Enjoy your evening and get plenty of rest. 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I hope this Tuesday is a cool one. 💕😎🎈

One day you and hubby will head North to your homes. 😎💕

@sheba2011

Well, the first part of your exam is over and done with. I expect nothing less than a great outcome when you see your physician. My appointment is next week. Praying for a good outcome as well. Also have a dental appointment the next day. Also have the A/C people to check everything the same week. This is the 6 month due unless something unforeseen happens. I also have coupons to use this month in case there are any problems. What really struck a nerve was my neighbor calling to say that the power washing for the house is scheduled for tomorrow. Hmm……I didn’t schedule an appointment. At the time, he was doing my neighbor’s home.. This was either March or April. And at that time he stated his next opening was October. I remember saying that I would wait and would call to make an appointment. Besides, I wouldn’t have made an appointment in July since I would be hoping to be North at that time.

Hubby is doing OK. The coughing is almost cleared. Just has a few moments. All tests came back negative. I still say it has something to do with the laundry. The Aid and I will be working on his side of the room beginning Friday. He will need to be in a wheelchair and in another room while we strip everything down to the bare bones. This will also include his closet which we will empty completely using gloves. I will rewash everything at home and will return as much as I can the next day. The aid is on duty Friday through Monday. Together will we clean and see if that will stop the itching in it’s tracks. The neighbor, who is a nurse, not only recommended this but also felt it was due to sweat more than anything else. She also mentioned that he should be bathed daily with someone scrubbing his back with a mild soap or one conducive for getting rid of what looks like huge bug bites. The aid also mentioned that he will take the curtain down that separates the beds, He also will ask if the vent for A/C can be cleaned (it’s in the ceiling). I hope to do everything in one evening.

Take care. Stay safe. Praying that your mom is OK.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and I am so glad your son is doing well. 💕😎🎈

I hope this is a good Tuesday for you and watch out for the heat.

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶😘💕😎

Sheba, hello! Spent some of the day cleaning and cutting up veggies for the week. We were low to mid 80’s. I hiked but got hot and red faced. Guess it’s my summer look because it happens all the time when its hot out. I also came across the series the Good Wife and started watching it. It’s excellent.
How are you doing? Settling back into life in Oz?
What do you think of Rarities Gold-Plated Diamond and Gemstone Tassel Hoop Earrings?

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Hey play it cool today. 😎💕🎈

The Beach Boys Lyrics
“Wouldn’t It Be Nice”

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?

You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
After having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

But happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was never-ending
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray, it might come true (Run, run, we-ooh)
Oh, baby, then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
Oh, we could be married (Oh, we could be married)
And then we’d be happy (And then we’d be happy)
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let’s talk about it
But wouldn’t it be nice?

Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby

Good Vibrations
Song by The Beach Boys

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me the excitations (oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations)
Close my eyes, she’s somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
She’s giving me excitations (oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations (good vibrations, oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me excitations (excitations)
Ah, ah, my my, what elation
I don’t know where but she sends me there
Oh, my my, what a sensation
Oh, my my, what elation
Oh, my my, what
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’ with her
Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations a-happenin’
Good, good, good, good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She’s giving me the excitations (excitations, oom bop bop)
I’m pickin’ up good vibrations
Na na na na na, na na na
Na na na na na, na na na (bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)
Do do do do do, do do do (bop bop-bop-bop-bop, bop)

All Summer Long
Song by The Beach Boys

Sittin’ in my car outside your house
(Sittin’ in my car outside your house)
‘Member when you spilled Coke all over your blouse
T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
(T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs)
We’ve been having fun all summer long
I can’t see enough of you
(All summer long we’ve both been free)
Won’t be long til summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now
Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills
(Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills)
When we rode the horse we got some thrills
Every now and then we hear our song
(Every now and then we hear our song)
We’ve been having fun all summer long
Won’t be long till summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now
Every now and then we hear our song
(Every now and then we hear our song)
We’ve been having fun all summer long
We’ve been having fun all summer long
(We’ve been having fun all summer long)
We’ve been having fun all summer long
(We’ve been having fun all summer long)
We’ve been having fun all summer long

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE WITH ALMONDS DAY

National Chocolate with Almonds Day on July 8th each year offers a combo deal to celebrate. What a great way to wrap up chocolate and almonds in one package. Celebrate it by giving some to a friend or neighbor.

NATIONAL FREEZER POP DAY

In the heat of summer, National Freezer Pop Day brings the sweet chill of relief! On July 8th, grab one of America’s favorite ways to cool off with a frozen sweet treat.

Freezer pops have a long history – one that’s over 60 years old. And that history includes kids and summer fun. What’s better than getting outdoors and spending time with friends and family? Well, perhaps cooling off with a freezer full of freezer pops in every flavor of the rainbow.

Summer is one of the best times of the year. It’s important to keep the freezer or cooler stocked with freezer pops of all varieties and textures. There’s one for people of all ages! They make the summer even better and more memorable. And they’re shareable, too. Everyone has their favorite flavor, and you know which one it is by looking in the seemingly always near-empty freezer or cooler. From lazy summer days to busy sporting events, these portable treats please even the pickiest crowd.

NATIONAL RASPBERRY DAY

June 8 is National Raspberry Day on the National Day Calendar to celebrate the summertime fruit known as the raspberry. This delicious food holiday adds a sweet addition to our menu and taste buds.

Raspberries are one of the most popular berries available for consumption. Their rich beautiful color entice us indulge in them whenever we can. The first bite always delivers a sweet, juicy flavor that encourages us to keep eating them. National Raspberry Day is the perfect day to not only enjoy raspberries, but also learn a few facts and a few new ways to eat them, too.

Red raspberries are native to North America and Asia Minor. Records indicate the people of Troy were gathering them around the time of Christ. Roman Agriculturist Palladius documented the domestication of the red raspberry around the 4th century. Because of this record, Romans are given credit for the spread of cultivation across Europe. However, when settlers came to America, they would learn Native Americans were cultivating and eating raspberries, too. As a nomadic culture, Native American’s had been drying berries, including raspberries, to preserve the food source for the winter months.

NATIONAL STRAWBERRY SUNDAE DAY

On July 7th, it is time to indulge on National Strawberry Sundae Day. Each year on this day, Americans combine vanilla or strawberry ice cream, strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. Make several strawberry sundaes, and enjoy this delicious treat with friends and family.

WORLD CHOCOLATE DAY

Every year on July 7th, World Chocolate Day allows chocolate lovers around the world to indulge in their favorite treat without any guilt. The day also celebrates all kinds of goodies made from chocolate, including chocolate milk, hot chocolate, chocolate candy bar, chocolate cake, brownies, or anything covered in chocolate.

NATIONAL DAY OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

July 7 is National Day of Rock ‘n’ Roll on the National Day Calendar and it’s time to put on your dancing shoes to dance the day away! On National Day of Rock ‘n’ Roll we plan to help you get your groove, starting with when rock ‘n’ roll first hit the charts.

This history of rock ‘n’ roll begins in the late 1930s from African-American music containing combinations of jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel, and country music. By the 1940s, instruments like the saxophone and piano were added to the sound, intensifying the appeal. It wasn’t until the 1950s that rock ‘n’ roll hit the mainstream music scene, causing a social shift in society. National Day of Rock ‘n’ Roll explores the impact this music genre has had throughout history.

NATIONAL KOI DAY

Today is July 7 and National Koi Day on the National Day Calendar and we are honoring the Koi fish today! Join us as we learn about the colorful Koi fish and celebrate the life of Hanako, the world’s oldest Koi fish.

National Koi Day celebrates the Japanese Koi fish and brings attention to the exotic beauty of the fish. As a symbol of courage, patience, perseverance, and strength, the Koi fish has been celebrated in the Japanese culture for centuries.

The word “koi” comes from nishiki-goi, which means colored carp. Some say the translation also means “love.” Either way, the Koi fish is a variety of Amur carp specifically bred for water gardens. Historically, records indicate breeding began in Niiggata, Japan, around the 19th century. Today, identification of the Koi fish depends on the hues and patterns of the color of the fish. The most common colors of the Koi fish are white, red, orange, yellow, blue, and black.

😎

Happy Birthday HSN. 🎈😎💕

I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. She smiled and said to me…
“I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.
I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me…
I stopped fighting with my in laws…
I stopped fighting for attention…
I stopped fighting to meet peoples expectation of me…
I stopped fighting for my rights with inconsiderate people..
I stopped fighting to please everyone…
I stopped fighting to prove they were wrong about me….
I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight…
And I started fighting for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny.
The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful & so much more content.”
Some fights are not worth your time….. Choose what you fight for wisely.❤️

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio and I hope you are enjoying your weekend with your family. 😎🎈
Loaf I think of you often check in when you can.

Always,

Sheba😎💕

@xango,

Good day in Florida and may this Sunday be a good one for you and hubby. 🎈
Xango thank you for your post yesterday. I understand about diet and all the things
we love. I just do mine in moderation I don’t eat a lot but when I do I make it healthy
I have never smoked I don’t drink I do non-alcoholic drinks and I must have lots of H20.

I do a lot of walking because I like it. I pumped those endorphins and it’s a good feeling. 💕😎

Well I have labs early morning and the physical later in the week. This is all routine to see if
my doctor needs to change or adjust my medicine.

I am exhausted from my trip to Colorado but I feel a sense of relief knowing I was helping
my family. So glad hubby and I went in November when all was calm I just had a feeling
a storm was on the horizon. I mean it really hit us hard.

How is your niece in Brazil I am praying that she is able to heal very well. 😘🎈

So glad to see you are almost right as rain. 😘🎈💕😎Thank you for being a part of
this thread. 💕😎All of us enjoy writing to you. Hey you can still make healthy delicious
meals with your skills. Xango before I forget late last night we had three deer in our yard.
I could not believe it hubby recorded it on our security camara. I tell you this has never
happened. All my cats were happy to see me and all showed up and were well-fed. 😎

Let me know how things are going and I hope the bunnies are having a good time. 💕😎

@sheba2011

Hello on this Sunday afternoon. Wow it’s hot, we have been having heat advisory for a few days now. Temperature of 97 and it feels like 106 today.

Late yesterday I saw a bunny on the front yard camera. Took two strawberries and two leafs of lettuce. He was quite afraid of me, ran around away from me. He enjoyed the strawberries but left the lettuce alone. After the Sun went down, someone in the community had fireworks scaring him and the pets in the community.

Sheba, best of luck tomorrow on your labs, I am sure you will do well.
Take care Sheba 🌹

@xango,

Good evening I love to hear about the animals. 😎🎈My labs are all routine and have been
planned for six months. I get labs twice a year this is for the medicine I am on.

The nurse will put a butterfly needle in my vein and will draw labs like I am a vampire. 😎
Then I just use a cup for the fluids and they check everything. The total time spent in
the lab is about 20 minutes tops. I like that when I see my doctors the story is right there
on her desk and I have been with my Physician for 20 years and we have been through
a lot she knows my body and all that goes with it like the back of her hand. I really like her.

Keep those strawberries for the bunnies my bunnies are in my neighbors yard and I go visit
them when I see them. Meanwhile back at the ranch those dog gone Raccoon are another
story we don’t where they are coming from and it is a herd of them.

Enjoy your evening and so glad you are back to your beautiful self. 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I read your post from yesterday and I want
to thank you for understanding me and supporting through all these years. 🎈💕

I did respond to your post. This journey has been a long one and every single one of us
will hit that road one day. All is calm in my family for now.

I feed all my out door cats and they were happy to see me. Poppy went insane and has
not left my side. 💕🎈My husband was here to take care of everything. I could see inside
and outside my home. We had several major storms and some flooding. We did not get
rain in Colorado the whole time I was there. I think it rained real good prior to me getting
there.🎈💕😎

I see you are making decisions on your husband going forward. I support you 100%.
I think you are a very smart woman and know how to help your husband and yourself
moving forward. I just hope you are able to go North for a minute to see your homes.

I don’t know how you did it Oodie this has been a very long journey for you. I am praying
for the best outcome for both you and hubby and it will take a minute to decide what
that will be.

We are here to support you no matter what you choose.

We had three unusual visitors last night we had Deer come and walk on our property.
The deer went up and down the block never seen that before I think they were thirsty.

I need to call animal control tomorrow to see if it’s ok to leave some water for them.
I bet you would be surprise what goes on at night and hubby recorded it.💕😎

@sheba2011

It is OK to leave water for the deer and some tasty fruits like apples, pears, peaches and maybe mangos. I think I mentioned that we have deer in Ct. and it is so relaxing to watch them. One of them took a chance and came up to our laundry window. It was opened and thankfully I had a few pieces of fruit with me. I gave him/her a whole peach and it was eaten in no time. From what I have been told from our neighbors, the deer are there a couple of times per week peering into the windows and looking for me. I will return one day and hopefully, it will be with hubby. After much thinking, I will see how it goes at home first and have help as well. Hubby is dead weight and it takes a couple of aids to move him from the wheelchair to the bed. He uses a slide as well, which I think is too cumbersome. He is complaining about shoulder pain in his left arm and I’m thinking it is either a cold or bursitis. I will mention this to the head nurse tomorrow when he is on duty. In all honesty, I am not ready for Assisted Living or visiting a convalescent home. I have had experiences with both. And hubby isn’t ready either. We will try together to work on whatever at home. I actually think that move will unleash the inner powers and get him to where he should be.

As for your family, time will heal the major wounds. The parents should not feel guilty. The way I look at it, is, that it was his time to go. I do not feel that if they had looked at him sooner, it would have done any good. It’s really hard to lose a child at any age, but when life ends at a starting point it is devastating to everyone, especially the parents. Thankfully, your family is close and that will help to heal the wounds and to help with the “what ifs” so that everyone can move forward whenever that time comes.

Weather wise, we have had a heat advisory daily since either Tuesday or Wednesday last week. The best part is that we are getting some much needed rain. I just hope the lightning part will stay away until I reach the Rehab and return home. Right now it is almost like a fog above us. the sun gets to peek out from time to time. Humidity has been above 90% and when you factor in the temp it feels over 100 degrees. I think yesterday’s temp was equal to 114 degrees.
Take care Sheba. Enjoy your walks with Poppy and looking at the moon. Above all, stay safe.
Your labs will be great and so will your appointment. Have a great afternoon and evening.

@oodiebom,

Good evening you seem to have a plan. I would try home first that makes sense.
Then I would go a step further if needed. Oodie only you know best but try home first.

I hope you can get back North at least of see and look at your homes. 💕🎈
What a feeling that will be. I know your husband face will have a wide smile.

Hubby and I will look out for the Deer and they are traveling in family style. I have lived
here for decades and never seen a herd of them I am sure they are family. I just don’t want
a car or fast moving truck hit them and keep going. I would have to leave the water on the
sidewalk only the other critters will try to get anything I leave for them. My cat the Black Cat
was so happy to see me return when I call out to him he came right away and ate really good.
I still have three more and they all showed up.😎

Poppy was the happiest of all so happy he will not leave me. I love it. We have been together
a long time I rescues him about 12 years ago. No regrets. 💕😎

I hope your rain is gentle and not much thunder and noise.

Oodie I am going to jump in the shower with Korres Body Wash and rest my body. 💕

Goodnight and keep cool. 💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California my niece made it back to LAX last night.
My other niece landed safely in Atlanta as well. The girls had a great time
in New York and the Cruise. 🎈😎😘

Thank you for your post I appreciate your support so much. 😘😎🎈

How is your son doing and I am sure he may be ready for another adventure.
Oz is about to rain in a couple of hours so I better get moving.

I had three Deer on my lawn last night we recorded it. 💕🎈I live on the outskirts of
the woods.

Hey Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶I hated leaving my mother. 💕

@taci,

If you see these along the trails just smile. 😘🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎😘🎈Lady I just finished talking to my friend and former next
door neighbor about the three deer that was on his former property and mine last night.
I am sending him a recording this is the neighbor that moved to Palm Springs so yes
it is toasty there. This friend is a professor and author he moved to Palm Springs to get
away from the cold of Kansas. LOL!

One day he decided to move he sold his house and was on his way to Palm Springs in
no time. We still talk on the phone. All told he has a swimming pool and the works. The
traffic is another story.

How are you doing? I am a wee bit tired but I am alright. OZ has rain today and that is
fine with me. Hubby did a great job taking care of the yards and flowers everything looks
great and I check on every animal I feed and they all came to me. 😎💕Poppy of course
was so happy to see me he jumped into my arms. We did do Facetime while I was away
he could hear my voice. I took him on a long walk it was like I was never gone.

Hey I hope your sister enjoy her friend’s visit and look like you will be busy with your
mother until she gets back. 💕😎July is a very hot month. Shizzle!

Sending cool waves to you and Jake. 😎💕🎈

This reminds me of Aussie. 😎💕

@sheba2011

Well, it looks like another National Fat Day with the strawberry sundaes and chocolate.🍨🍫 I have strawberries and chocolate in the house, no ice cream.🍓 I will delay it a day.

Looked out the kitchen window this morning and I had three bunnies, a deer, a groundhog and various birds chomping away.🐇🦌🦡🐦 I must have delicious grass and bushes. The bunnies are living under my deck. Had them for many years, they left and are now back. I see the deer everyday roaming around the fence and woods. Guess they jump the fence for a gourmet meal, lol! We are not permitted to feed deer in our township since it risks spreading disease.

Good luck tomorrow, all your labs have been fine so I’m sure that won’t change. Hugs and kisses from me and Jake to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and thank you for your good wishes. I expect just a routine lab for meds.
Poppy is so happy to have me home he is just staring at me and will not leave my side. 😘
Poppy and the other animals were never alone and got feed on time.

Seems you have your little zoo going on. LOL! I love it. 😎🎈

The only thing I worry about the Deer is there is traffic and I would hate to see anyone get
hurt including the deer. We will focus the security camera to watch during the night maybe
they got lost. Hey it seems like all the animals come to me for food and water. I do what I can.
I hate to see them suffer in this heat.

Enjoy this my dear friend you will need it in the coming days. 😘😎

@71flowerchild,

Good day in Texas and I hope you are in the safe part of Texas. 😎🎈I have heard on
the weather channel it’s bad raining and flooding in certain parts of Texas.

I just got back from Colorado attending to family matters. 💕

Wishing you, Mabel and Little D a great Sunday.

I know your home in New Mexico is on your mind. I know you have a lot going on.

Please be safe.

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten wishing you a great and safe Sunday. 🎈😎
