Conversation 25
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 25 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. 🌹✨😎

NATIONAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE DAY
National Strawberry Shortcake Day on June 14 lands at the peak of strawberry season. While we are able to get strawberries all year long now, the best strawberries are those picked from April to June. These bright red berries during this time are sweeter and more flavorful. By adding them to a shortcake biscuit or a sponge cake, strawberry shortcake is an easy and refreshing summertime dessert!
Strawberry shortcake can be found as far back as 1588 in England. However, it wasn’t until the 1800s strawberry shortcake made its way to the U.S. Eliza Leslie of Philadelphia receives credit for the first recipe for strawberry shortcake in her cookbook The Lady’s Receipt-Book. Though she referred to them as “strawberry cakes,” her recipe was used to popularize this delicious dessert in homes.
By the late 1850s, Americans began adding a strawberry sauce with slices of fresh strawberries to the top of their shortcakes. The dessert was a June favorite because many people would celebrate their strawberry harvest with strawberry shortcake parties. This tradition is still celebrated across the country today.
Today, strawberries are sliced, mixed with sugar then allowed to sit for about an hour until they have surrendered plenty of their juices. The shortcakes are then split, and the bottom is covered with a layer of the strawberries, juice and whipped cream. The top is then put back on, and more strawberries, juice and whipped cream are added to finish it off.

NATIONAL CUCUMBER DAY
Today is June 14 and National Cucumber Day at National Day Calendar and we are enjoying fresh cucumbers all day long! Join us as we crunch on this crisp summer favorite and enjoy the fruits of summer.
You can almost taste the crisp, watery goodness of a cucumber during the summer months. With fresh fruits and vegetables at our fingertips, we feel very little guilt indulging in this salad favorite. Whether we grow them in our garden or purchase them at a local farmers market, we love the freshness a cucumber adds to our diets.
Most people think cucumbers are a vegetable. In fact, they are actually a fruit in the watermelon family Cucurbitaceae. Cucumbers are normally a long and have a cylindrical shape, and are grown in different sizes. There are also around 100 different types of cucumbers around the world.

ARMY BIRTHDAY
Every year on June 14 we celebrate the birthday of the United States Army. Let’s tip our hats and raise a glass to the military branch that was born in 1775.
Formed from amateur troops of volunteer soldiers defending colonies against British tyranny, the oldest military force in the United States began before the U.S. formally existed. Their forces consisted of mostly inexperienced militiamen commanded by independent colonial armies. According to battlefields.org, there were never more than 48,000 Continental soldiers at one time. Today, the United States Army consists of over 1 million active-duty service members and an additional 800,000 Army National Guard and Reserve members.
The enduring history of the U.S. Army means they have been integral to many of the United State’s military, peace-keeping and humanitarian efforts. During the Army’s Birthday, these and many advancements will be recognized through events and ceremonies.

NATIONAL MOVIE NIGHT
Pop some popcorn, grab a blanket and your favorite buddy, put away the cell phones and tablets, and then queue up a string of movies for a fun night of entertainment. National Movie Night on the second Friday in June encourages us to start (or restart) a tradition of movie nights with friends and family.Movies have been bringing people together for over 100 years. The stars, the stories entertain us, connect us and help us create memories. As technology evolves, so does how we enjoy our movie nights. From the theater to reel-to-reel home movies, the VCR, DVD, and streaming, we’ve been enjoying movies on big and small screens. Drive-in movies invited us to enjoy films from the comfort of our cars. Today, our video library is as large as we want it to be thanks to streaming services. We can even enjoy movies in our own backyards projected onto screens under the stars.
Can you smell the popcorn popping? Start your tradition with friends and family on National Movie Night with new and classic movies at the theatre or in your homes.

good rain. Xango the State of Florida is such a large place my goodness it is so big. 😎🎈Still sizzling in OZ and will be for a while. Hello summer. 🎈😎
Enjoy your day and keep cool. 😘
-
Hello Sheba,
I know you will be visiting your father’s grave. I will say a prayer for him and my too. My father died in 1970, is buried in Washington, DC.It’s a warm day here too, we are in the mid nineties and the humidity at 53 makes it feel hotter.
I believe we might get some rain tomorrow.The bunnies are coming around every day in the late afternoon. I sometimes see them early in the mornings too. Yesterday they enjoyed some cut up mangos.
Here’s wishing your hubby a wonderful father’s day.
Have a great weekend Sheba 🚴♀️ 🚵♀️
-
May your Father’s Memory be a blessings. 💕😘I hope it cools off a bit but OZ will be warm
too. I am going early for father’s site. I want the flowers to last a bit.I am so glad you have the bunnies again. I keep an eye out for my three cats. I wish they
would come in two will not and one will. This tabby cat is female and I have known her
all her life since the day the owner brought her home I use to cat sit her and her sister.
My next door neighbor was the original owner and he gave cats to neighbors up the street.
The neighbors have a little girl and she wanted both of them well they favor the gray cat
which is the sister but they let the tabby cat out and about at all hours and weather.
I know she is fixed and has all her vaccines she is does not care for Poppy that is the problem.I am going to wish you a cool night and maybe some gentle rain. 😎💕

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎May this be a good day for you and hubby.
Oodie very warm as I type this post to you already. Hubby is off today and I am so glad.
The yards are done and I may do a plant or two over the weekend.I will visit my father’s grave and bring fresh flowers I will say a prayer and a few words. 😘🎈
Our children have been sending their father a lot of sweet things the phone is really busy.
We have plans to get together this summer but not in Kansas. We will have all four of our
children I really love that. 🎈😘Our youngest daughter have a birthday Saturday. So we
are celebrating her birthday and Father’s Day. 😘🎈😎Oodie enjoy the time at the market you do have some interesting places you shop at.
I love it. 😎🎈😘Oodie you are like me I want to feel it and touch it and maybe even taste it.
I love your cart as you are well organized. Go Oodiebom. 😎🎈 -
As I was getting ready to see hubby and to make a couple of stops, the heavens opened up. First the lightning, then the thunder and after a while, the rain. It continued over an hour and by the time it was over it was too late to see hubby. Actually, it was too late to do the stops I wanted. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a bit different. I am petrified of thunderstorms especially when driving.
Hubby had a good urology appointment and yesterday he mentioned he needed to make another appointment. That appointment is for a year from now. Hopefully, we will be able to change it because we will be North for the spring summer and part of the fall. We shall see.
I will be thinking of you on Sunday. I can sympathize and know how difficult it will be to visit your dad’s grave on Father’s Day. However, you will feel good knowing that he was there and listening to every word you uttered and maybe enjoying a verse or two in song.

Good morning in S. California hey I am so glad you and your family had a wonderful

Love the Flags.

-
Didn’t sleep well last night so had a lazy day.😴 Paid bills and did small odds and ends around the house. Watched some of the US Open.⛳
BIL doing okay, SIL and grandson now have sinusitis so it’s just one big medical ward in the family. Can’t remember so many sick at one time.😲 Mom and sis are okay as far as I know, haven’t seen them in almost two weeks but talk on the phone.
You and I keep having connections. I remember when I found out your dad and my mom have the same birthday. You mentioned your youngest daughter has a birthday tomorrow and that happens to be my step-father’s birthday. You and I will probably end up being long, lost sisters!😂
Hugs from me and Jake to my sis and her pup.🤗💖

OMG! Your post is so funny I had forgot about those birthdays sis. 😘💕
I know you will remember him and all the memories. 💕😘😎Hey get some rest now and be sure to eat and drink fluids. I am glad you are feeling

I Believe I Can Fly
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I’m leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo)
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo!)
Hey, ’cause I believe in you
Oh
If I can see it (woo!), then I can do it (I can do it)
If I just believe it, there’s nothing to it (hey)
I believe I can fly (woo!)
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
I believe I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly)
If I just spread my wings (I can fly)
I can fly (I can fly, I can fly)
Woo (I can fly)
Hm-mm… fly, fly, fly

NATIONAL CAREER NURSE ASSISTANTS’ DAY
National Career Nurse Assistants’ Day happens on the first day of National Nursing Assistants’ Week each year. On this day, we recognize all nursing assistants who dedicate their lives to the well-being of others, whether it’s been 5 years or 58 years of service.
Nursing assistants work in hospitals and nursing homes alike, performing everyday living tasks for the elderly, chronically ill, or rehabilitation patients who cannot care for themselves. Of course, nursing assistants require in-depth training to gain the necessary qualifications to cover a wide scope of responsibilities. The American Red Cross, as well as other providers, provide classes to study for nursing assistants. Although states may distribute CNA certification exams, their certification follows a standard set of qualifications created by the government.
Career Nursing Assistants also play a host of roles in the lives of residents in nursing homes, hospitals, and long-term care facilities. Amazingly, they often assist people to remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible. In addition, a CNA provides essential support for patient needs. This includes promoting mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, too.

NATIONAL SEWING MACHINE DAY
Each year on June 13, National Sewing Machine Day honors an invention that has kept us in stitches for over 150 years. Follow along as we try to stitch together a brief history and some fun facts, too.
Before the invention of the sewing machine, tailors and sewists created clothing by hand, one single stitch at a time. The invention of the sewing machine brought about revolutionary change. Not only did it boost an entire industry, but it also changed the way we viewed the garments we wore. However, the development of the sewing machine took time.
Skilled cabinet-maker and English inventor, Thomas Saint, received the first patent for a design of a sewing machine in 1790. He intended his design to sew on leather and canvas. However, he never advertised it and no evidence of the design, other than his drawings, could be found. In 1874, William Newton Wilson found Saint’s drawings in the London Patent Office. With some minor adjustments, Wilson built a working model. The London Science Museum currently owns Wilson’s model. Other sewing machine inventors include:
Walter Hunt invented the first American lockstitch sewing machine in 1832.
John Greenough patented the first sewing machine in the United States in 1842.
In 1851, another inventor, Isaac Singer, developed a sewing machine model that would endure and also thrust him into court with Elias Howe over patent infringement.
Industrial use of the sewing machine reduced the burden placed upon housewives, moving clothing production from them and seamstresses to large-scale factories. This also resulted in a decrease in production time which caused the price of clothing to drop considerably.Today, many people are again becoming interested in the art of sewing and making their own clothing. Crafts fairs and flea markets are filled with booths full of beautiful sewing machine-made clothes and craft items. Quilters across America are also known as sewing machine experts!

NATIONAL GOLF CART DAY
On June 13, we celebrate National Golf Cart Day as a day that pays tribute to the evolution of the golf cart. This day is for everyone who loves feeling the breeze in their hair on and off the golf course. Let’s go for a quick ride through the history of the golf cart and learn some fun facts along the way!A golf cart is a small, motorized vehicle originally crafted to carry golfers and their clubs around a golf course. Its history is fascinating, remaining a key tradition of the sport. Today, golfers and non-golfers alike enjoy the flexibility and versatility of these vehicles to carry oneself around a golf course, run errands and to even visit their friends around the neighborhood. Officially known as a golf cart, these vehicles have given people all over the world more GO in their days.
but the Dolan brothers were the ones who really cracked the code on building a golf car efficiently at a fleet scale where it became more than a novelty. A golf course may have had one or two before, but now they could buy a fleet of golf cars that every golfer could go out and use on the course.”

Good afternoon in Florida. 🎈😎I hope you are getting some good rain. Xango not too
much and not too little just to make things right as rain. 🎈Enjoy your day and heal.
Keep dry and safe.

Hello Sheba, I hope you are feeling better today.
Yesterday I got to most pleasant suprise. I saw one of the baby bunnies, (now grown somewhat but not full grown) run across our yard in front of the patio. Then another one, and another, four of them running all over, they were chasing each other and playing with one another. That was surprising to me. I don’t know if they were happy because of the rain, or just being little bunnies. But this is the first, bunnies usually come to eat and go back into the woods. They were running around the house from the back to the front yard. And then they stayed in the front yard playing, running under the cars parked in driveway until late evening as the Sun was going down. It was such a treat to see all four playing around.
It’s been partly Sunny with fluffy clouds against a blue and gray sky. With some luck, we might get some showers later this afternoon keeping my fingers crossed.Take care Sheba 🌹
-
Good evening I am feeling much better very warm evening in OZ. 😎🎈
Xango I am so glad to see you post. I am sure rain is coming good and plenty.Glad the bunnies are back I have seen a few with the critters I have I hope they are safe.
I buy baby carrots for them and they love them. 💕Poppy is so jealous of the cats. LOL!I am going to jump into a Perlier Shower we are super humid and hot here.
Rest well.
-
Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Hoping this is a good day for you. 🎈😎
I hope the rain is all good and the Lake is back to normal.
Oodie be careful out there taking your things to the curb today.
Oz is very warm already we are well into the 80’s and the A/C is on.
I have a feeling this is what it may have like yesterday. 😎 I hope you got the rainbow.
-
Good afternoon. The lake is absolutely beautiful. Finally, it looks like it is back to normal. Can no longer see the sod or whatever is swimming, The fish and turtles and also the ducks and other birds must be loving it. However, I haven’t seen any loons or herons in days here. The spoonbill has yet to return. Hopefully, the much needed beneficial rain, will bring them back.
I tried to arrive at the rehab prior to hubby’s doctor appointment’. I arrived too late. And when I prodded him he said it was a nothing appointment. I was with him most of the afternoon and left at my usually time which is between 9:00 & 10:00[ pm… It was a quiet afternoon. No rain. Just sunshine. Leaving the rehab, the moon was out. There were no stars due to cloud coverage. The atmosphere was quite humid and for us sinus people, hard to breathe. The A/C in the vehicle never felt so good. Rain did return around 1 am and again around 4 am.. It was sunny most of the morning. However, now that I need to make a stop at USPS and at the Farmer’s Market it is beginning to cloud over again. The plants are happy and the weeds are never ending. Guess you know what I will be doing over the weekend.
I now need to be on my way. Since I will not be returning home from the market, will grab two freezer bags and four ice paks. I will be using the trolley to bring them into the rehab if needed. You cannot imagine how useful that trolley has been. So easy to open and close and the fact that it takes up so little room in the trunk or back area of the driver and passenger seats is a blessing. I surmise that the nurses will be wondering if I brought tons of food for hubby. I’m LOL on this, since he can have only soft foods for now.
I know it’s hot hot where you are. It’s not pleasant, but doable if you stay hydrated. I have been dealing with the temps for over a month now.
The pictures of the flooding in Sarasota is only about 8 miles from our home. It’s an area that overlooks the Sarasota Bay. and what I call hotel alley. The road snakes around the Bay into St. Armands Circle which is famous for one of a kind shops with one of a kind prices. The clothing is something you will not see on many people. It is nothing like shopping on HSN or QVC. There are named designers here that many have knowledge of through the actors and actresses and the Royal Family. I love walking and window shopping in this area. I hope and pray that the flooding isn’t severe in the shops and that the owners and workers were able to move the merchandise to higher ground. So sad to think that many may have lost everything.
-
The part not far from you sounds so charming I would love to shop and walk around
a place like that. I love your markets too.OZ may be in for a storm tonight watching the Telly and I hope nothing blows away.
I am going to jump in the shower I can see lightning in my security camera.
Oodie be careful driving in all that rain if you are near it. The weather people say OZ will
be cooler tomorrow I just worry about the animals. I have A/C and I will be fine.Sweet Dreams. 💕
-
Good morning in S. California and I hope you are back 100% feeling good. 😎🎈
Oz is hot as Hades today so A/C it is.Enjoy your hike and Happy Trails. 🎶🎶
Have you received your HD piece yet? I hope you like it. 💕
-
Sheba, hello! We went away for a hike and stayed over. Hubs was so happy that we did this trail because it’s much easier than the usual one It was just too hot to do our usual. He was all smiles.
Still hot though. We have been on this trail before. We were blocked about an hour into it by a herd of cows ( over 10 of them) I didn’t want to cross them in the path. They were pretty tame and moved a little way up to more shade. We took their spot and sat at a picnic table for a while. That was plenty for us for the day.
I know you will be thinking of your Father this Fathers Day. It sounds like you’ll be visiting his grave sight. -
Good evening I will visit my father’s gravesite this Father’s Day. I want to put fresh flowers
out and perhaps talk a bit to him. 😘💕Some days are harder than others when it comes to our parents. 💕
Your hike sounds wonderful. Oz has places but you really have to drive a distance
for what you really want to see and do.All good I enjoy my long walks storm is coming this way I wonder what it will bring.
-
Good day in the ‘burgh. I know how both you and your husband feel.
I am just going to wish you a nice Thursday and good luck with meds I hope the kick
in fast. 😎My body is getting back to normal the meds was something else.
Sending healing hugs to you and Jake. 🎈Take care dear friend and get well soon.
-
Ran out quickly this morning to get some fried chicken so I wouldn’t have to cook.🍗 Just added a side dish and dinner is done. Stayed in, did laundry and popped pills. Only six more days to go.😮 Thanks for the cup of tea.☕💗
Hope you are back to normal and hot to trot, pun intended, lol!🤣 We are supposed to hit mid 90s all next week with heat indexes of over 100 like Oz today.🔥
Have a nice evening, make sure my step-son doesn’t burn his little tootsies!🐾 Love and hugs.🤗💖
-
Good evening please take it easy and I am glad you are not cooking a lot.
Enjoy the Stanley Cup if you can stay up. 😎💕
Here you have been so good. 😎
-
Shoelady, Hope you feel better soon. I hear that a respiratory illness of some kind is spreading around here. A friend and her husband had it and went to the Dr. He was prescribed meds and she was prescribed nothing. To be fair, he was much sicker. It lasted about 1 week to 10 days for them.

Believe
Song by CherAfter love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through
There’s no talking to you
It’s so sad that you’re leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can’t do that
And there’s no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
‘Cause I’ve had time to think it through
And maybe I’m too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Well, I know that I’ll get through this
‘Cause I know that I am strong
And I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore
Oh, I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no -

NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY
Each year on June 12, people in the U.S. recognize National Red Rose Day. This beautiful National Day honors the flower that is a symbol of love and romance and the June birth flower, the red rose.
Red roses were used in many early cultures as decorations in wedding ceremonies and wedding attire. It was through this practice the red rose eventually became known as a symbol of love and romance. The tradition of giving red roses as the strongest message of love is still practiced today.
Red roses offer more than the message of love. They are also known for their fragrance. They are also cultivated for perfumes as well as brewing healing teas.
In June, red roses are in bloom in flower gardens across the United States. Their beauty and sweet scent fill the air with happiness. Furthermore, roses come in a wide variety of cultivars. From low-growing shrubs with dainty blossoms to long-stemmed robust plants, roses offer deep scarlets and bright berry-colored reds.
ENJOY NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY
Do you have a favorite red rose or grow your own? If so, share your favorite red rose photos on social media using the hashtag #NationalRedRoseDay. You might consider giving a red rose to some you care about. Other ways to celebrate include:
Plant a red rose shrub or vine.
Learn more about the types of red roses.
Visit a rose garden.
Call your favorite florist and order red roses to be sent to a teacher, first responder, or local hero.
Press a red rose to dry it and preserve it for later enjoyment. -
NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY
We are baking up some goodness on June 12 for National Peanut Butter Cookie Day! This delicious food holiday allows cookie lovers and peanut butter lovers to step away from the pies and cakes to indulge in a little peanut butter and cookie therapy.
Alabama’s American agricultural extension educator, George Washington Carver, promoted the peanut extensively. Well-known for his promotions, Carver compiled 105 peanut recipes from various cookbooks, agricultural bulletins, and other sources. In 1916, he created a Research Bulletin called How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption. The bulletin included three recipes calling for crushed or chopped peanuts as one of its ingredients. However, peanut butter cookies were not one of them.
It was in the early 1920s peanut butter began to be listed as an ingredient in cookies.
Incidentally, the peanut butter we know and love today didn’t become commercially available until the 1920s. In 1922, Joseph Rosefield kept the peanut oil from separating from the solids through this process. Afterward, he patented the process of homogenization and sold it to a company that began making a peanut butter called Peter Pan.
No one knows why we press criss-crossed fork marks into our peanut butter cookies before baking. However, homemade peanut butter cookies would just not be the same without a bit of decoration.
ENJOYING NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY
The best way to celebrate this cookie holiday is with some homemade peanut butter cookies, a glass of milk, and a friend. If you don’t feel like baking in the summer heat, visit your favorite baker and grab a dozen. Don’t forget to give them a shout-out and let them know how much you appreciate their mad cookie baking skills! Of course, we even have a recipes for you to try, too.

NATIONAL MAKING LIFE BEAUTIFUL DAY
National Making Life Beautiful Day on June 11 dedicates a celebration to those who make life beautiful. Whether you’re creating beauty by building relationships or helping others achieve personal success, your actions create a ripple effect. You are making life beautiful not just for yourself, but for those around you, too.
Beauty comes in many forms. From a kind word to a gentle soul, those who lift up others and find strength in the sparest strands of hope bring beauty into this world. Some send messages in the form of bold art while others roll up their sleeves in times of need. Those beautiful people heal the wounded, ease the hearts of the weary, and empower others to be the best person they can be to make life so very beautiful.
Making life beautiful begins within. When you find appreciation for the gifts you have in your life it’s easy to reciprocate those feelings to others. For example, being optimistic and intentional about your thoughts and actions emits positivity. That positivity can easily encourage other to aspire to keep a positive mind. Smile, be thankful, and always be kind.

NATIONAL GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY
On June 11 we celebrate the delicious food holiday known as National German Chocolate Cake Day! We can’t think of a better way to learn about a cake with American roots and get our chocolate fix for the day at the same time!
Although the name may sound like the cake originated in Germany, German chocolate cake did not. In fact, the cake’s roots can be traced back to 1852 when American Sam German made a type of dark baking chocolate for the American Baker’s Chocolate Company. Baker’s German Sweet Chocolate’s brand was named in honor of Sam German.
Over 100 years later in 1957, a recipe for “German’s Chocolate Cake” appeared as the Recipe of the Day in the Dallas Morning Star. This recipe, created by Mrs. George Clay, used Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate. Obviously, it became quite popular. During this time, General Foods owned Baker’s brand and distributed Mrs. Clay’s recipe to other newspapers around the country. The current name of German Chocolate Cake, as we know it today, came to be as publications started dropping the ‘s.

NATIONAL CORN ON THE COB DAY
National Corn on the Cob Day on June 11 is our reminder that summertime picnics are in full swing. The smell of fresh corn on the cob cooking makes our mouths water. We don’t care if you grill it, boil it, or bake it. The only thing we want to do today is eat as much corn on the cob we can.
The history of corn dates back to nearly 7,000 years ago in Mexico. Originally growing as a wild grass, corn was eventually grown as a crop and harvested. From Mexico, corn eventually spread north into what is now the U.S. Native American’s planted and harvested corn, making it plentiful across tribes. Today, corn is found across North America.
Corn on the cob is known as pole corn, cornstick, sweet pole, butter-pop, sweet corn, or long maize depending on where you live. Despite it’s name variations, corn on the cob is best picked when the corn kernels are tender and in its milk stage serves up sweeter kernels.
While it might seem rude, proper dinner etiquette for eating corn says holding the cob at each end with your fingers is appropriate. If you find yourself with butter dripping off your chin, don’t worry. Most people are probably having the same problem as you are because everyone serves their corn on the cob with other seasonings, butter or oils can.
How you prepare your corn on the cob also depends on where you live. Boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling are the most common ways to prepare corn on the cob. Adding butter, oil, and seasonings is all personal preference. In fact, roasting corn on the cob and topping it with parmesan, chili pepper, and cilantro seems to be the choice of many these days.

Shadow Dancing
Song by Andy GibbYou got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said, baby, I lose my head
And in a world of people, there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain’t even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain, baby I know my way
I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can’t breath when you’re away, it pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
And in this world of people there’s only you and I
There ain’t nothing come between us in the end
Ah, can I hold you when you ain’t even mine
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more
Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more -

Good day in Ohio Loaf you are missed on this thread. 🎈😎 I have no idea what is going on
but I hope all your family is well. Like me you have four children and may they all be in
good health. 💕😎🎈Hey Happy Summer.
I miss you talking about your cat. 😎😘

Good afternoon in Florida may you have some good rain soon. 😎🎈💕
Thinking of you and hoping you are feeling well. Enjoy your day and take your time. 🎈😎
-
Good evening Sheba,
I hope all is well with you, your hubby and Poppy.I only saw the Sun today in the late evening just before it went down. Most of the day was cloudy and a shower off and on. It rained enough to get the plants wet and a good drink of water. Hopefully we will get more rain tomorrow.
Last night an adult opossum came by and later a baby Opossum. Today we have a small bunny in the afternoon.
Take care Sheba 🌹
-
I have been doing rain dances while outdoors with the moon. 💕😎I am so glad the
State of Florida got some much needed rain. Enjoy it all and I am sure the plants are
happy. 😎💕Keeping you in my thoughts.
-
We are getting some much needed rain. I will try to send some your way.
I am visiting hubby. The A/C is too cold. Will be leaving soon.
-
Hi, I hope you had a great dinner with your husband.
The Sun came out late afternoon going into evening just before it went down and over the trees.
The day was cloudy and the rain was off and on throughout the day. Much need, it’s been several months since it rained and everything shows by how dry it is.
Hopefully we get more rain tomorrow and it soaks into the ground.Take care Oodiebom.
-
Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I hope your sinus issues are better.
The meds are working for me I am still a wee bit under the weather.Oodie I hope you have a good visit with your husband and stay safe out there.
-
Hurray Hurray, we are getting some much needed rain. It is a welcome sight. Our lake looks a bit better. Now making my dinner to eat with hubby. Talk to you later.
-
I am home., thankfully. The ride home started with just on and off light rain, but half way home it became a deluge. No lightning or thunder claps. Last night was a different story. Lightning and some streaks across th e dark sky. It was scary. Tonight just the torrential downpour, but I’m home. I made a pork dinner with the leftover spaghetti and a salad. Put it all into one refrigerator bowl with a cover and an ice pak and all was good. I added green grapes and it really added to the flavor. Hubby was on a breathing machine when I arrived and had dinner following. We ate together. I should have brought the candles and didn’t think of it until I was in his room. Maybe tomorrow since he has a virtual doctor’s appointment with the urologist. His appointment is scheduled for late afternoon, but last time the doctor was two hours early. I will try to be there by early afternoon.
Hubby’s room was very comfortable upon arrival. Then around 7pm the A/C kicked in. His room became a freezer box, though hubby said he was Ok with just a sheet and a thin blanket. Luckily I left a sweater and quickly put it on. The room was so cold that around 9 pm I told him I would be leaving in a half hour. The front door is kept locked at all times so the nurses and aids were the only people who knew the keypad. I was still wearing the sweater as I left, and the hot, burning air hit me like rocks. It was hot and muggy and drizzling.
So good to see the rain. We are supposed to be seeing 10-16 inches by the weekend. I have a feeling we may surpass that. Next week the temps will again be in the 90s. It won’t take long for us to see another drought on the horizon. Oh well, welcome to Florida.
Hope you three have a great evening. Take care and stay safe. Good night.
-
Enjoy your evening and the sweet beautiful rain. Drive safely. 😎I hope everything gets
a good soak the plants, trees and flowers. 💕Oodie your State is making major news about the rain. I have never seen that before
only when you get those hurricanes.Keep safe Oodie and enjoy the sweet rain. 🎈💕😎This is how I hope you and hubby enjoyed your dinner. 💕🎈

Sheba, Hello. It was a calm day here. Very cloudy and cool. I loved it.
Just did some grocery shopping and cleaning here.

Have a good evening! -

Another beautiful day, hot and sticky on its way.🔥 It will be a good test for the new A/C.
Since I have not been sleeping well at night, I have fallen asleep during parts of the last two hockey games.😴 If I didn’t put my feet up I think I’d be okay. That’s not like me, see the doc tomorrow. I did see some of the basketball playoffs, Boston looks unbeatable. And I’m sure I’ll be watching some of the US Open this weekend.🏌️♂️ My house is like a sports bar.🏒🏀⚾⛳
Hang in there, somehow we always do. Sending big hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Good evening I am wishing you a good check up at the doctor’s office tomorrow.
I am sure whatever virus you have along with hubby will be handled by the professionals.I wish you well please let me know when you have time how that works out.
I know all about the Games and they are fun. May the best team win. My family
are all in front of the Telly watching every game these are die hard fans. 💕🎈😎Here is a little something to help you sleep one for you and one for hubby sweet dreams and enjoy the Games. 💕😎

George Michael Lyrics
“Careless Whisper”I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyesI’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with youTime can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll findI’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
(Should have known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with youNever without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who’s gonna dance with me?
Please stayAnd I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with youNow that you’re gone
Now that you’re goneNow that you’re gone
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone? -

NATIONAL BALLPOINT PEN DAY | JUNE 10
Grab your ballpoint pen and write this on your calendar. On June 10th of each year, National Ballpoint Pen Day recognizes the useful writing utensil and commemorates the anniversary of the patent filing on June 10, 1943.
Before 1943, anyone who wanted to write a letter or scribble some notes on a piece of paper used a fountain pen or pencil. Now the dominant writing instrument, the ballpoint pen was originally conceived and developed as a cleaner and more reliable alternative to the quill and fountain pens. In earlier years, many attempts by inventors led to failed patents as their inventions did not deliver the ink evenly. They also had overflow and clogging issues. However, in June of 1943, the brothers Laszlo and Gyorgy Biro obtained their patent for the ballpoint pen, revolutionizing how many write letters and conduct business.
Today, manufacturers produce ballpoint pens by the millions and sell them worldwide. As a promotional tool, ballpoint pens find their way into our hands from advertisers of all sorts assuring that we always have a ballpoint pen handy, too.

NATIONAL FROSTED COOKIE DAY
Today is June 10 on the National Day Calendar and we are throwing a sweet celebration for National Frosted Cookie Day. This nostalgic National Day celebrates the day by inspiring families everywhere to live life playfully, while enjoying the iconic frosted animal cookies by Mother’s® Cookies!
Each year on June 10 we celebrate National Frosted Cookie Day and encourage everyone to enjoy the frosted animal cookies that spark the joy and creativity for families. No other cookie in the world sparks imagination like the frosted animal cookie. Whether putting on a circus show for friends, or taking a safari with family, the frosted animal cookie sparks joy and creativity for all. In fact, this iconic frosted animal cookie is enjoyed by playful, imaginative families all over the country.
Animal Cookies
Long ago in cookie-land, animals didn’t stray too far from the herd. Camels stuck with camels, lions with lions, and unicorns with unicorns. Day after day, they had the same routine. One morning a volcano erupted shooting sprinkles out into the sky and sending rivers of frosting flowing through the lands. By the next morning, every creature under the sun was full of polka-dots and bright. The animals thought, “well this is weird.” But, it was also pretty sweet and delicious. The frosted animals became instant friends. From that day on, cookie-land became infinitely more fun. Since then, kids have been delighting in Mother’s Cookies ever since.Today, there are two types of Mother’s Frosted Animal Cookies, each with unique shapes and personalities to create plenty of imagination in every bite.
Original Circus Animal® Cookies are classic shortbread animal shaped cookies that are fully frosted in the iconic pink and white frosting, topped with rainbow sprinkles.
Mythical Creature® Cookies are shortbread fairytale shaped cookies that are fully frosted in lavender and white frosting, topped with silver sprinkles.
The iconic shapes inspire the imagination and creativity to help turn snack time into a three-ring circus. Frosted Animal Circus Cookies -
NATIONAL ICED TEA DAY
June 10 is National Iced Tea Day to celebrate one of summer’s favorite refreshing drinks. Whether you prefer sweetened or unsweetened, with or without lemon, we invite you to pour yourself a glass as we relax and enjoy some random information about iced tea.
Iced tea is the second most popular beverage in the world, following water. The oldest tea remains date to around 453BC. Archeologists from Shandong University and the University of Science and Technology found 2,400 year old tea remains in a royal tomb in the Shandong province.
Recipes for iced tea have been found dating back to the 1870s. The Buckeye Cookbook (1876) and Housekeeping in Old Virginia (1877) both contain iced tea recipes. It is believed, however, that iced tea started to appear in the United States in the 1860s and became widespread in the 1870s. During that time, hotels and railroads offered iced tea on their beverage menus.
In 1904, the iced tea was introduced at the World’s Fair in St. Louis by a tea merchant who planned to serve hot tea. However, a sudden heat wave prompted fair-goers to become uninterested in the beverage. To save his himself, the merchant decided to add ice to the already brewed tea. This led to a frenzy of people lining up to taste the wonderful new drink. Today, the U.S. consumed nearly 50 billion glasses of tea per year!
An alternative to carbonated soft drinks and quite popular in the United States, iced tea makes up about 85% of all tea consumed. Restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines, grocery stores and self-serve soda fountains make finding iced tea easy and convenient.

NATIONAL HERBS AND SPICES DAY
We celebrate flavor each year on June 10 during National Herbs and Spices Day to recognize the diversity and quality offered by using both fresh and dried herbs and spices in your cooking.
All year long, herbs and spices are essential to cooking. As the summer heats up, developing a knack for cooking with fresh herbs brings brightness and flavor to grilling and the kitchen. Herbs and spice not only add flavor to your meals, they also add color by bringing a vibrancy that might have otherwise be missed.
Herbs and spices have been used for many hundreds of years. They make our food delicious and also have its specific health benefits. In fact, these 6 spices and herbs will improve your health:
Sage improves memory function in the brain.
Peppermint reduces nausea.
Turmeric is said to have anti-inflammatory benefits.
Cinnamon lowers blood sugar levels which can benefit diabetes.
Cayenne pepper helps reduce appetites.
Rosemary is good for treating allergies.
Herbs and spices add character to certain beverages, too. Mint, sage, chamomile, lavender, and many others add subtle flavor to hot and cold drinks.Growing your own herbs and spices is a great way to add fresh variety to your food. Herbs raised in your home add an aromatic and natural fragrance to the air as well. Besides, raising your own herbs can be a form of relaxing therapy.

Good day in Florida. 🎈😎Wishing you a good Monday and success with all the new
on your Path in life. 🎈😎I am so glad you will be healing.
Soon you will be right as rain.
-
Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida as always wishing you a wonderful day. 😎🎈
When it rains like this it is a wonderful day. 🎈
-
It is very cloudy here, but thus far no rain. Temp is in the high 80s and the humidity is 95%. The temp will soar to over 95 which means when you factor in the humidity, over 100.
I will be making spaghetti and meatballs today.. Had a migraine yesterday and thus did not see hubby. I have a phone call into our physician. I’m getting too many headaches which are sinus related. I’m hoping to make a stop at Sam’s C;ub for potting soil. Finally found the large planters in the color I wanted. Hopefully, I will be able to plant either today or tomorrow. It is supposed to rain from tomorrow on with over 2″ expected. This will not end the drought, but is a good start.
Hubby has a virtual doctor’s appointment on Wednesday with the Urologist. He is doing OK, but forgets to drink liquids. He forgets he no longer has the prostrate problem since the surgeons were able to make a pathway around that area.
Guess I better get a move on. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening. If you are still seeing the raccoon, you should contact Wildlife Animal Control in your area. They will probably set a trap and remove the raccoon and bring it to a different location that is away from people. They are a no kill organization. However, dealing with mice or rats are a different story.
-
I am now home. Had to pop in to let you know that we are now getting a gentle rain with a thunder storm. I hope xango is also getting some. Evidently, there was a lightning strike near us. Walked in and no electricity. It came on about 10 minutes ago. I will need to reset some of the clocks. No big deal. I guess we will not see 2″ of rain. Seems the weather people are predicting 1o” to 12″ in our area. Sounds good. However, when this is over and the sun brings the temp to 95 we will be back to the drought problem once again. Oh well. Such is life. Time to roll with the tide.
-
Good evening the headache part is what I have been dealing with the sinus issue.
That is why I had a video visit and thank god I have been with her for over 20 years
she knows my medical history very well. The antibiotic are doing a number on my stomach
just a little woozy that’s all. I am snapping out of it. 😎I hope you see your Physician soon and get some real relief. Sorry you could not see
hubby but if you are under the weather in that heat it is not a good idea to be out.Oodie our meals were very similar and I had mine all plan and one this morning. I made
Spaghetti and meat sauce with salad and Garlic Bread. Hubby loved it and took a shower
and is now resting. 😘😎💕I have been feeding the animals a poor possum came on the porch and spilled the water
trying to get away. I was not going after him I always leave water for the Possums. I know
they take care of the little things we don’t like but they drink a lot of water.I certainly did call animal control today and they got back with me late but at least a
entrapment will be put out for the other critter. I have no mice or rats. I am thankful for that
and I have a service contract for pest control to make sure I don’t have them. 😎 I have
seen some little ants as this is the season for them here and they get rid of those too.I hope you don’t lift too much the plants can wait a bit at this point. I would wait until it
cools down and then do all the planting. I ordered from Sam’s today but I have free shipping
and delivery and I brought a bit from them that will be delivered this week. Xango taught me
that move. 😎 There are times when I like going into the store I especially like to pick out
my own bread and meats and special treats. Hey for all the heavy stuff I have them leave
it at the front door. 🎈Enjoy your evening Oodie I am going to take a shower it helps with the headaches.
One more thing we are changing our A/C Filters I want clean filters so the air flows out
clean and pure. I also have a air humidifier that goes all over the house. OZ will be very warm
in another day or so. I am getting ready for it and that means taking Poppy out early morning
well I do that anyway but I need to get my steps in so it’s good for both of us than we walk
again in the late evening. 🎈Oodie I hope your day is going well. 😎I hope your husband has a very good appt. this week.
-
Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎 May this day find you doing well.
I hope you love the HD Earrings. 💕Hey enjoy the trails today.
Taci the meds are working I am feeling much better today. In my little world life goes on. 🎈😎

Gorgeous pics today.💗 It is actually a little chilly with temps in the 60’s. In a couple days it will be near 90.🔥
Hubs and I still coughing, someday this will be gone. BIL in the hospital with bronchial pneumonia, mom and sis okay. Haven’t seen them for about 10 days since this cough/cold started.😕 Glad your sinuses are finally easing up.
Sure hope all your bad weather is done for a while. I think I’ll redo National Rose’ Day while I watch the game tonight, why not?🙄 Cool hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Good evening I am so sorry about that cough and it’s lasting for a bit. YIKES!
I hope you both get well soon. I think coughing is the worse of all the cold issues.I am so sorry about your BIL being in the hospital I hope he recovers well.
What is going on in the world everyone is fighting some kind of battle.Enjoy a glass with your husband and enjoy the Game. 🎈💕
Hubby and I are watching off and on. -

NATIONAL STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE DAY
National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day falls on June 9 each year to recognize a delicious and seasonal pie. A tart vegetable, rhubarb is often paired with sweet fruits making for a pleasing dessert. Join us as we explore all things rhubarb. We might even serve a slice of pie for you to enjoy!
Around the country, rhubarb is a perennial favorite for home gardens. One of the first fruits of their labors, gardeners begin to harvest rhubarb in the middle of May and early June, and it finds its way into desserts and preserves. Rhubarb known for making deliciously baked goods and satisfying the hankering for something from the garden early in the season. Since rhubarb takes on the flavor of the fruit or vegetable it is paired with, it is an excellent complement to many recipes.
Rhubarb is so high in oxalic acid, in fact, the leaves are toxic to humans. The stalks, however, are a consumable, rich, and healthful source of oxalic acid. The benefits of enjoying rhubarb could help reduce blood pressure, increase your body’s ability to burn fat, and generate brain myelin. Now, that’s a reason to celebrate National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day!

National Donald Duck Day on June 9 commemorates the birthday of the funny animated cartoon character known as Donald Duck. Making his first screen debut on June 9, 1934, in The Wise Little Hen, Donald Duck has become an iconic symbol in animation and in homes, alike.
Usually wearing a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie, Donald Duck is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech along with his mischievous and irritable personality. Known for his quick temper, Donald Duck seems to quack his way through oodles of bad luck. Yet, despite his hot temper, Donald Duck is a loving character with a good heart.
Did you know Donald Duck’s middle is Fauntleroy? . The name means “child king” and derived from Old French.
The Donald Duck character has graced screen and print since 1934. He has appeared in over 190 films and countless comic strips and books, more than any other Disney character. He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character. In fact, Donald Duck was also declared in 2002 by TV Guide as one of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time. His ‘acting’ career has earned him Academy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Who knew a duck could be so famous?

NATIONAL CHILDREN’S DAY
The second Sunday in June rewinds time for a moment to celebrate National Children’s Day. This day honors the children in our lives by slowing down our fast-paced lives, turning off the tech, and refocusing on the important things. Taking one day may not be enough, but using it as an opportunity to redirect our family life is an important way to stay connected with our children.
Children look up to adults in their life for guidance. While their personalities are unique, children develop their character as they spend time with people. In fact, early interaction is good for development and essential for their growth. Language skills, communication skills, and emotional skills are formed at an early age. National Children’s Day is the perfect time to give the little humans in your life a bit extra time.

Good afternoon in Florida. 😎🎈I am hoping you get rain soon.
Oz had some good rain last night let’s just say the grass and plants are very happy.🎈😎Xango it was good to see you post I know you have a path to take just take your time.
So glad your husband is there for you also. 💕Everything is one day at a time.Just heal and take care of yourself sweet friend. 💕😘
I learned how to take my life’s path when I was dealing with cancer I am almost at the
end of the path. I have to say while I was on the journey so much happened and I knew in
time this too shall pass. 😎 -
Hi Sheba, thanks for the words of wisdom ♥️.
It’s a sunny, hot day here. Woke up two mornings ago around 6AM . Looked out our backyard and a Lynx was just sitting right in the middle of the yard. He just sat there looking at me and looking around. He must of been hungry,
but I’m not feeding it he was a big one.
We haven’t seen the bunnies in a while, so my thoughts went the way of the Lynx got a hold of them. But then, the large bunny showed up that same day in the late afternoon. And also yesterday, late afternoon.
The bunny enjoyed a feast of lettuce, strawberry and grapes. It’s been so dry, so the bunnies must of gone elsewhere.Take care Sheba 🌹

I started laughing at your post with five coolers. I carry three just in case. Hubby’s van has a Coleman Frig that holds quite a bit. My little sedan has a small trunk area, so the coolers fit in nicely in that area. When I get to the car I divide the bags from the store according to freezer and frig. I empty the bags which gives me more room for either one (freeaer or frig). I also have freezer paks which keep everything cold. However, I need to give you a heads up. Just after the exit for SR 64 there is construction (going South). I have no idea how the traffic is going in that direction. I can tell you it takes almost two hours just to get to Tampa from my exit, which is for SR 70 (heading North).
I am concerned with your family in Brazil with the flooding. I hope they are OK. I also see that you are feeling better. I surmise it won’t be long now before you are baking up a storm and freeaing soups, breads, entree’s, desserts and then some.
Detwiler’s has a take out area. Soups, desserts, drinks (teas, juice, etc.), salads, sandwiches, sushi, pizza, subs, chicken wings, fried chicken, roasted chicken, etc… Most everything is homemade. Oops, almost forgot. They make their own donuts from scratch. I’m not sure if their market in Palmetto makes pizza and donuts. This store is located on 301 and may be an easier alternative for you. The one near me is about 10 miles from the highway on SR 70. You will need to check on traffic conditions on 301 because of construction.
By the way, we may have rain on Monday. Just received a notification of thunderstorms. It will probably start in the Gulf and head East. Boy, do we need the rain. Our lake is very low. Not sure if the fish survive. Saw one turtle asking for shrimp.
Have a great day. Stay safe.

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I hope you get some good rain too.
I have been looking at the weather channel and it seems everywhere is hotter and dryer than
last year. Oz will be sizzling next week. I am going to enjoy this day. 💕😎I hope your meal was good yesterday. Oodie when the weather is hot and humid I tend to
eat light but I am not turning down Pasta. 💕Oodie keep cool while out and about. Enjoy your visit with your husband. 💕🎈
Some Culver’s Ice Cream will work on any hot day. -
Hi Oodiebom,
How are you doing?
We must be in the same wave of thoughts. I would love to visit such a wonderful place, and enjoy meeting you in person.
Before reading your post, I was watching YouTube video on Detwiler’s Farmer’s market. Wishing I could be there walking around and seeing everything. Of course knowing how I shop I would have to take five coolers and several bags. I would most likely want to get some of everything I see 😀.I hope your husband’s rehab is going well and soon he will be able to be home.
Take care Oodiebom. -
Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈Wishing you a nice cool Sunday.

Sheba, beautiful image! Well for a while I thought today was Monday. Glad it’s Sunday!
Hike was quick but fun and did some cleaning. Since it was free shipping I finally purchased the Heidi Daus Pumpkin Earrings in my fav’s. I like the color orange a lot and Halloween will be here before we know it. Sorry your sinus issue is still bothering you. -
