Conversation – 26
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is number 26 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 RASPBERRY CAKE DAY | JULY 31
National Raspberry Cake Day is jubilantly feasted each year on July 31st. Therefore, today is the day to enjoy raspberry cake. Because it is a cool and refreshing dessert. And, is indeed a summertime favorite around the United States.
Raspberries are the edible fruit of the plant that belongs to the genus Rubus of the rose family. Raspberry plants grow on woody stems and are perennial. These amazing plants grow in all temperate regions of the world, too, making them widely available. Producers also cultivate the raspberry as a commercial crop, bringing them into groceries and other markets. The raspberry was once a midsummer crop. However, through innovation, new technology, and transportation, producers now grow them all year long.
More interesting facts about raspberries include:
An individual raspberry weighs 0.11 – 0.18 oz.
An individual raspberry is made up of about 100 drupelets.
One raspberry bush can yield several hundred berries a year.
A single raspberry has a hollow core once it is removed from the receptacle.
Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber.
Raspberries contain vitamin B1, vitamin B3, folic acid, magnesium, copper, and iron.
And since raspberries are sweet, they bring a wonderful flavor to cakes. -

Great Games Today. 🎈😎💕
Let me take you to the place 🎶🎶
Where membership’s a smiling face
Brush shoulders with the stars
Where strangers take you by the hand
And welcome you to wonderland
From beneath their panamas
Club Tropicana, drinks are free
Fun and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone
All that’s missing is the sea
But don’t worry, you can suntan
Castaways and lovers meet
Then kiss in Tropicana’s heat
Watch the waves break on the bay
Oh soft white sands, a blue lagoon
Cocktail time, a summer’s tune
A whole night’s holiday🎶🎶Goodnight. 😎🎈

The Edge of Heaven
Song by WhamI would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you screaming to be set free
I would chain you up if I’d thought you’d swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up but don’t worry baby
You know I wouldn’t hurt you unless you wanted me to
It’s too late to stop, won’t the heavens save me?
My daddy said, “The dev looks a lot like you”
Take me to the, to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul’s forgiven
Hide your baby’s eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies
It’s just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home
I’m like a maniac, at the end of the day
I’m like a dog barking at your door
So come take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more
I’m dangerous but don’t worry, baby
I get excited at the things you should do
And there’s a place for us in a dirty movie
‘Cause no one does it better than me and you
Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul’s forgiven
Hide your baby’s eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don’t tell me lies
It’s just a matter of time before my heart is looking for a home
I ain’t got no more worries (yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la, la-la-la)
I’m gonna spend sometimes with you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Loving you takes such courage (yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la, la-la-la)
And don’t you think that (yeah, yeah)
I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it
I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it
Sit there
Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul’s forgiven
Hide your baby’s eyes and we can take care, oh
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don’t you tell me lies
Because believe me baby
One day you’ll wake up on your own
I ain’t got no more worries (yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la, la-la-la)
I ain’t got no more time for you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Loving you takes such courage (yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la, la-la-la)
Everyone’s got their eyes on you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I ain’t got no more worries (yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la, la-la-la)
I ain’t got no more time for you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Loving you takes such courage (yeah, yeah, yeah, la-la, la-la-la)
And don’t you think that
I know, and I know, and I know, and I know it -

The heat is unbearable especially when you add in the humidity. Still I was able to do some laundry early AM and finished just as the dark clouds started to appear. Temp according to the weather people was 107 degrees. Just as I was going to shower and dress to see hubby, the skies opened up with a whopper of a thunderstorm that lasted over an hour. This put a damper on seeing hubby. By the time I could hop into a shower and put things together it would put me past the time the reception area was opened to unlock the door. I will not be working on the house today so I can get an early start for Aldi’s and maybe the Farmer’s Market.
The Dragon Fruit this time of year is delicious. I mixed it with a homemade chicken salad and it really added to the flavor. Too hot for soup, yet I am tempted to make the melon one. The Farmer’s Market makes a mean clam chowder and the flavor is definitely New England. Sometimes I wish they would make the Rhode Island clear broth. That’s the one I miss the most. The market we use North has lobster on sale usually in August and Labor Day weekend. The last time I was there they were selling for $6 each. I’m su re they have more than tripled in price today.
I’m not able to watch the Olympics. Our TVs have not worked since the hurricanes two years ago. I will not be plugging them in until those rooms are cluttered free and disinfected. Mainly still doing KP. Tomorrow is garbage and recycle. I started going through the pans and have tossed quite a few. I am hoping that Wolfgang will bring a few sets with him in August. And speaking of pans. I purchased a Hex Clad 12″ wok. The box wasn’t easy to open, but when I finally did it was in a cloth bag. What a nice presentation. The wok is beautiful and I cannot wait to use it. I normally like the steel woks, but since I do not have a gas stove here, this will be OK.
Miss hearing from xango. I surmise that she either had the procedure or is about to. It’s strange here that no one likes the hospitals. The nurses and aids all seem to either go to Tampa or elsewhere. I surmise that is why many prefer the Rehabs in that area. Not sure if hubby would be accepted since we are 20 miles from the one I mentioned. There is also a wait list there. However, what I may do is contact them for some names of people who do PT at home. That’s an issue I will make a decision on later. Meanwhile I need to find a contractor to renovate the entire bathroom. At least I have the color scheme.
Enjoy the Olympics. I am able to see some of it on the computer. Hope you have time to peek outside for the shooting stars and the Aurora Borealis. Enjoy today and stay safe.
