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 PASSION FRUIT DAY
We celebrate National Passion Fruit Day each year on August 9 on the National Day Calendar. Join us today as we celebrate the delightful sweet and tangy flavor of the tropical fruit known as passion fruit. We also want to promote and honor the hard working farmers and growers that provide passion fruit to consumers in the United States.
Passion fruit is a tropical fruit belonging to the Passifloraceae family, which is a combination of flowering plants that has over 750 species. Passion fruit is native to South America, specifically in regions of Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The fruit grows abundantly in South America because of the tropical climate, where warm temperatures and rainfall attribute to the abundant growth of the fruit. South America has extremely fertile soil, which provides essential nutrients that promote healthy growth. Interestingly, pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds also contribute to the successful growth of passionfruit in the region. However, passion fruit does grow in other parts of the world, including central America, Africa, Australia, and even Hawaii.

NATIONAL RICE PUDDING DAY
On August 9, many enjoy their favorite dish on National Rice Pudding Day. We recommend celebrating today’s food holiday by eating this delicious pudding. Use the opportunity to give it a taste if you’ve never tried it before!
A variety of recipes exist for rice pudding. All of them include cooked rice as the base ingredient and combine a milk (such as cow’s, coconut, evaporated, or cream) with bread. Sugar, molasses, or honey gives the pudding a sweet taste along with other flavors such as vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Eggs hold the dish together, and butter gives it a rich, creamy consistency.

NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY | AUGUST 9
National Book Lovers Day on August 9th harnesses all the excitement bibliophiles feel about books into one celebration.
A day for all those who love to read, National Book Lovers Day encourages you to find your favorite reading place, a good book (whether it be fiction or non-fiction) and read the day away.
Step back in time
The very first books used parchment or vellum (calf-skin) for the book pages.
The book covers were made of wood and often covered with leather.
Clasps or straps kept the books closed.
Public libraries appeared in the Middle Ages.
Public libraries often chained the books to a shelf or a desk to prevent theft.Moving forward
Along with several recent developments, book manufacturers use digital printing. Book pages are printed using toner rather than ink. As a result of digital printing, print-on-demand opens up a whole new realm of publishing. In this case, distributors don’t print the books until the customer places the order.
More and more, people read E-books. E-book (electronic book) refers to a book-length publication in digital form. They are usually available through the internet. However, they can also be found on CD-ROM and other systems. Read an E-book on a computer or via a portable book display device known as an e-book reader, such as a Reader, Nook or Kindle.

I am concerned about all the water. OZ had some much needed rain this morning
but nothing to write home about.My babies will be coming around in about an hour. Taci I love them so much.
They know I will feed and take care of them. 💕😎When I visit my dad I do that out of respect he is in a beautiful place and they take
excellent care of the grounds. I make sure on special times when I go that things
are nice. 🎈I am snapping out of it but do we really? We have such a tiny speck of time
on this earth so I have learned to cherish every speck of that time. 💕

Not so fast I am on my way over wait for the knock on the door. Xango your dinner
sounds so good. 💕❤️I am so glad your husband is doing better.Hey enjoy your movie I am about to take a Perlier Shower and watch something on
the Telly with hubby.Things seems to be getting back to normal for me I have had a week. Thank you for
your thoughts on my dad and yes it does not get easier. I know you loved your mom
and I love hearing stories about her. Hey take care of yourself too. 💕I hope things are cooling off for you. 🎈💕

Sheba, Glad you’re doing a bit better today. The place my parents are buried (out of state) has a service to clean and place decor every 3 months. My Mother wanted it so I’ve been doing this ever since. Yes, to the latter but still deciding on the plan.
The hurricane dropped so much water. Oodie said things were all overflowing in FL. Sounds dangerous. Glad your family is safe in GA.-
I read your post and I do know about MEDVAC. However, there are no airports near where we live. The closest is almost two hours away and that would mean other transportation to get from A to B in Ct.. The other sad news is that there are orthopedists with a good reputation near us, however we do not have the resources for rehab.. The only thing we do have are convalescent homes with no real rehab facilities. I cannot believe in all these years that our area has not owned up for good quality care following surgery. If hubby can stand on one leg, I can get him to the rest area facilities with a wheelchair that can go over a toilet and the same for home use. He is just starting to use his arms more, and that will be a huge help. I am taking each day as it comes.
I realize the hurricane season is upon us. My family in Ct. and Md. are just about to feel the effects of Debby. We are safe from the flooding. The sewage in the water system is a huge disaster. This is thanks to our Governor who did not pass a bill for cleaner water., better energy, etc.. He has banned people from talking about climate change. He has already damaged the ownership for people living in condos in the State. This goes for high rises and one storied homes including villas. Luckily for us, we are responsible for our own condo which is one story.
However, as for us going North, I need to wait for a doctor’s approval. The reason for driving is so we have a vehicle at the other end. I will be looking at the trains and shipping the vehicle as well. On the shipping, most transporters do not permit anything in the car other than insurance and the car’s manual. I'[m not sure if a train is handicapped accessible. Looking at that angle as well.Again, I enjoy your posts and recommendations. I will keep everyone posted. It is not an easy decision.

I hope you are able to see him tonight and he can eat and enjoy the fruit you are
bringing.Take it easy I know you will need a shower after all the heat. Please be careful around
all that water I know i don’t have to tell you but I am.
Here is to cooler nights. 💕❤️
