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. 🌹✨😎

Temps were very nice today, no a/c and windows open. We are supposed to have rain all day Friday from the hurricane.🌧
Did some errands, ran to mom’s for a few things, came home and made dinner so I am ready to put my feet up.🦶 Wasn’t aware you were a great gymnast so you know how hard these performances are. You were also a tall gymnast so it was probably tougher. You go, girl!!🤸♀️ Kind of like me with the ice skating.
Enjoy the rest of your evening, sending cool hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

I am considering leaving Florida for good. Looking into renting a “pod” and having it delivered to our home in New England. The cost of living here is going up and getting homeowner’s insurance is skyrocketing. I read earlier where Citizens has said they are about to go “belly up” if there is a category 5 or more hurricane . All insurance handlers will add premiums to their customers if this occurs in order to save Citizens. Of course Citizens will do likewise. Homeowners who purchased a home in the $300k range may be paying $10,000 for their policy. Already I am seeing people on the East Coast relocating elsewhere. This is especially true for those in a high rise condo where they will have to fork out $60k or better for maintenance. Though they have the HOA fees to contend with, they still are responsible for their unit and whatever else is needed for their building. This is partly due to the maintenance that was not sustained as it should have been and it cost some lives when a high rise condo collapsed a few years ago. Instead of going after the builders or the owners of the high rise, the law makes it easier for the holders of the building (superintendents) to reassess the owners. Luckily, where we live our HOA covers maintenance of the clubhouse, roads, City water, cable TV, . We are responsible for the upkeep of our condo and making the necessary repairs. We are “snowbirds” who would arrive either in October or November and stay through May using the trip as a mini vacation where we stopped at our favorite haunts. The trip is about 1350 miles one way and the trip gets harder and harder every time. We could fly and that is something we could consider since the airport is 4 or 5 miles from us. Since we have two vehicles we could leave one North and the other in Florida. There is quite a bit to be considered. It will not be an easy decision.

We had an enormous amount of rain and wind. I thought it would be a day and it would be over. But the rain and wind lasted longer. Started late Saturday, all day Sunday and Monday. Monday morning was a hurricane outside. But hubby had to work, he had no choice but to go in.He had taken the week before off sick. He wasn’t totally well yet, but went on and wore his mask. He came home absolutely exhausted. The same yesterday and with a terrible cough, today the same.
I am not letting my guard up. Cleaning, washing, and disinfecting everything.
So far so good, I have managed not to get sick.Today we had a nice sunny day, but hot, hot, hot. The Sunset was quite beautiful. I have seen only one bunny since the storms.
Take care Sheba 🌹🌹

Sheba, Hope and Poppy had a good walk today. Glad someone’s weather is cooling down.
Hubs and I are planning our trip and our son will join for a week at the end since he works.
He will leave for a trip at the end of the month for a week. He is going to the same place we will begin our trip (He gave us the idea).
Watching some water sports today. They have been my favorite. -
Oodie, I did see your post about flying and Storm Debbie. Florida really has a lot of heat and rain and storms in general. So many people moved there too. I watched some weather news on TV and hope you and hubs stay safe. Maybe you and hubs are ready for some MA weather and a lovely Autumn there. You have been in FL a long time. Do you think you will return to FL once you head North? Wishing you and hubs the best.
Understand how you feel about flying. It’s really changed over time too. -

Just finished with another roofer. He asked tons of questions and took pictures. He could not find where the leak was coming from. I don’t know if it was his way to say he didn’t want the job or something else. I did feel he was being totally honest and as he left he mentioned that if I saw water coming in to contact him immediately. But for now, he didn’t see any problems. I had used three plastic bins that Costco sold with the lids. These are a bit larger than I wanted, but the price swayed me. I used the bins to catch whatever was coming from the outside. When I checked the following morning the bins were bone dry. It was extremely hot and humid outside with temps in the 90s and 100% humidity. Sweat was pouring from both of us. I will be taking a shower before visiting hubby. Another thing to look at is the homeowner’s insurance which is now Citizens in Fl.. Just read where they will be going belly up if we get a huge storm. This means that we will be paying through the roof instead of the nose. I am beginning to think that heading North may not be a bad thing.
Watching the tropics again. Never a dull moment.

This vibrant, eye-catching flower is known for its large, showy blooms with distinct, swirling petals. The intense red and white color pattern creates a striking, almost hypnotic appearance, making it a standout addition to any garden or landscape.
