NATIONAL BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING DAY | SEPTEMBER 19

On September 19th, National Butterscotch Pudding Day offers a sweet taste of a wholesome and creamy dessert.

Brown sugar and butter star in the recipes for butterscotch pudding. However, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt are also sometimes used. Butterscotch adds amazing flavor to items such as sauces, candies, and frostings.

An 1848 newspaper offers the scoop on this yummy pudding. According to “Housewife’s Corner” and Masluk Cream Co., the real recipe for “making Doncaster butterscotch is one pound of butter, one pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of treacle, boiled together.”

Enjoy butterscotch pudding on its own or use it in other recipes. The flavor goes well with graham cracker crusts for pies or layered in a trifle, too. Simply layer with chunks of pound cake and whipped cream. Add nuts or a caramel drizzle for texture and visual appeal. Spike your pudding with bourbon or rum. Pudding shots are delicious little cocktails.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to our wonderful Community. 😎🎈

Enjoy these last precious days of Summer.

@loaf,

Enjoy this beautiful Thursday. 🎈😎Loaf you have been with me since the start of this
thread which is ten years old. I miss you and hope all is well. Hey this is Thread number
27. 😎🎈Loaf I have had threads that lasted two years. LOL!

@xango,

Good day in Florida. 🎈😎 Wishing you a nice Thursday and welcome to the new thread. 😎🎈
I’ve been at it for ten years every single day. I also have other threads in the HSN Community.

I like what I do and I only post when I am taking a break. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie how are you? I have missed you
for a day or two. I just hope all is going well at the rehab. I hope the mattress is one
and done. How is your husband?

If you are resting just rest. Let me know how things are going. 😘💕😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this day find you doing well.

Enjoy the Journey. 🎈😘😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎😘🎈Yeah there was a sort of glitch in the system and I had
to change the thread. Do you remember when the thread would run at least two years lol. 🎈😎
I don’t mind changing it out I don’t have a season thread this is knock around thread
where anything goes. 😘🎈😎Just having a little fun with music and fashion which is my
passion so no big deal.

Lady do you remember when just about everybody had a thread? I miss Fairemaiden I wonder
how she is doing her husband had cancer and she had her own health issues. Faire always
shoot from the hips. I miss her. 💕🎈 This is not my only thread on HSN I have done many.

Hey Oz had some nice rain only for a few hours and it was wonderful. 💕😎😘
The moon was beautiful last night I basked in it’s glory the cats did a pose too.

Lady this weekend will be a washout with the weather we will have strong rain. 😘😎
Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 😎

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten in California I am sending you a Thursday Shout Out. Please be well. 😎💕

@sheba2011

Hi in Oz. When I posted yesterday everything seemed fine. I do remember when it would go on for years because when it would get super long, my computer had trouble loading it. Now this glitch seems to come on a regular basis. Oh well, always something…..🙄 Thanks for #27 and your patience.

Yes, I remember all those names. Unless I die suddenly, I promise to let you know if I am leaving.

Hot weather through the weekend.🔥 Next week looks to be in the 70’s. Hard to believe summer is over, this year is flying by. It’s over on the calendar but this year has been so hot we may still have 85 in October.

Sending lots of hugs to you, Poppy and the cats.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening you always know what to say to make me feel good. 😎💕😘
Believe me when I say you are a joy and treasure.

Hey our lights were out in the middle of oodie’s post. Just popped back on
and I am going to sign out.

Enjoy your evening. 😘💕

@sheba2011

Still doing KP, but now it is fun. The pots and pans are looking good. The ones I no longer use will be donated.

I got hubby’s itches. No fun. Benedryl is very helpful along with the cream. Only thing is it makes me sleepy, so I won’t be driving until later today.

I made a phone call to the new Unit Manager and the Social Worker. Hubby had progressive lenses on a relatively new pair of glasses. Glasses are missing and it seems that the aides along with the RNs are not looking for them. Hubs has a habit of putting the glasses down on his food tray, so I surmise that the aides just picked the tray up and put it on the cart without looking. Seems only the aide we both adore does this. As far as doing the bedding, I’ve been told NO. I have two things here that will work wonders. One is the Clean Boss and the other is a bug spray that kills both the eggs and the insects. The last one requires one more spritz in two weeks. The Rehab has their own disinfectant that will only clean and not kill. My hands are tied on this as well as using an antihistamine along with the cream. I didn’t see hubby yesterday. I hope he is better and not scratching as much. His legs and arms look like a war zone. Our aide will be back tomorrow to work the weekend through Monday.

Will keep you updated. Have a great day and then some.

@sheba2011

I didn’t realize this was a new thread. Everything seemed OK yesterday. I surmise that the Tech Unit is still trying to make the necessary corrections. Then again, weather and cable could also be the problem as well. I remember just a few weeks ago losing my connection not only to the Internet but also to the CPU. I thought that the computer needed to go on life support. As it turned out, all that rain put a damper on the electrical and the plumbing. Sometimes it’s just your area or just your home that is involved.

I forgot to mention that I see Faire’s avatar from time to time in community. I often want to say hello, but cannot. Another person I miss is Velveteen Rabbit. She has not responded to pookie or to anyone else that has said hello. And when we met on Friday nights for Trivia, there was always FBN doing something for all of us to see and respond to. The last time he posted was to say he had Covid. I just hope and pray that he is OK.. He not only made you smile or laugh on that day, but the rest of the week.

@oodiebom,

I have been posting on HSN since 1999 on the regular I would be at work and still post.
I was having kids and working and husband and I were always busy. The Community
was different then you can make a comment and then move on to something else.

The big change came sometime in the 2000’s when the Community was shut down.
A new one came into place and then it happened again.

Oodie my lights have been out for about an hour I had already started this post.

I will say goodnight because we are expecting a strong storm.

Good night and I hope our power stays on.

Get all kinds of fabulous

The Summer Knows
Song by Barbra Streisand

The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows, the summer’s wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summertime
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world ’round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all
And if you’ve learned your lesson well
There’s little more for her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall
And if you’ve learned your lesson well
There’s little more for her to tell
One last caress
It’s time to dress
For fall

Hot Fun in the Summertime
Song by Sly and the Family Stone

End of the spring
And here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
That’s when I had
Most of my fun, back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is true
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
First of the fall
And then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there
Them summer days
Those summer days
Boop-boop-boop-boop
When I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything is cool
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime (hey, hey, hey, ooh)
Hot fun in the summertime (ooh, yeah)
Hot fun in the summertime

Cruel Summer
Song by Bananarama

Hot summer streets and the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are sayin’ (what did they say?)
Things I can’t understand
It’s too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
The city is crowded, my friends are away
And I’m on my own
It’s too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
Leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
Gonna feel only it was
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin’ me) leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
It’s a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It’s a cruel, cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin’ me) leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one
It’s a cruel, (cruel) cruel summer
(Leavin’ me) leavin’ me here on my own
It’s a cruel, (it’s a cruel) cruel summer
Now you’re gone
You’re not the only one

Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)
Song by Billy Ocean

She’s simply awesome
She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned ’cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name, yeah
She said I was the tiger she wanted to tame (to tame)
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game, yeah
Love was the furthest from my mind
Caribbean queen
Now we’re sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run
I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can’t ignore
And passion burns you like never before (hmm)
I was in search of a good time
Just running my game, yeah
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind, yeah
Caribbean queen (oh)
Now we’re sharing the same dream (the monster)
And our hearts they beat as one (hm)
No more love on the run (I love ya’, I need ya’)
Caribbean queen (you doing to me)
Now we’re sharing the same dream (the monster)
And our hearts they beat as one (hmm, yeah)
No more love on the run (run, ah, uh, uh, uh, yeah)
Caribbean queen (oh, you’re doing to me)
Now we’re sharing the same dream (a monster)
And our hearts they beat as one (I’m afraid)
No more love on the run (hm, yeah)
Caribbean queen
I found love
Caribbean queen, oh yeah
Oh, she’s a queen
Caribbean queen, yeah, yeah, yeah
Caribbean queen
I found love
Oh I love, love, love ya’
Ohh, oh
Caribbean queen, yeah yeah
Oh, she dashed by me in painted on jeans
She’s a queen
Caribbean queen, yeah, yeah
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, yeah, oh
She’s a queen
My Caribbean queen, yeah, yeah
I said she’s danced by me in a painted on jeans
Ooh, yeah
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, yeah, yeah

@loaf,

Good morning in Ohio wishing you and yours a great Friday. 🎈😎😘

@xango,

Good day in Florida I hope it is cooling down for you. Please take care of yourself. 🎈
Check in when you can. I hope the little bunnies are still visiting you. 😎

I’m sure you get these critters too. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie last night was so strange. All the neighbors
are talking about being in total darkness due to a power outage. I was in the middle of
posting to you last night when all of a sudden everything within miles went dark. Yikes!

I went outside in a hurry and put food in the cats bowls as I cannot see them without
my security camera in the dark. I was walking Poppy and one neighbor said it was strange
he was in the middle of slicing a roast and it went dark. We all had a good laugh as the
power was back on in about an hour. I was able to finish my post to you and Shoelady60. 😎

We have rain all weekend I hope to attend an Art Fair if the rain is not too bad. 💕

Oz is very dry and we need the rain I just hope we are able to keep the power.

Oodie let me know how your visit goes with your hubby today. Keep cool and glad you
are enjoying your Kitchen. 💕😎I don’t like the rules of the rehab when you are trying to
help take care of your husband. This is concerning.

Enjoy the day Oodie and happy shopping. 😎

@taci,

Good morning dear friend wishing you Happy Trails and safe journey. 😎🎈in case you
have not noticed welcome to the new Thread this was done because of a glitch somewhere
in the universe. LOL! 😎

Oz is warm on this Friday. 😎💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 💕😎🎈Lady last night was a strange one. I posted to you last
night we had a total power outage all over. I was posting to oodiebom got to the middle
of the post and everything went black I grabbed my Iphone and turned on the Flashlight
I did not want to step on Poppy we both made it out of my dressing room and ran to
hubby who was already well aware of the problem.

One neighbor was in the middle of preparing a meal when it went dark. We all laughed about
this morning in the sunlight. 💕😎🎈

I was worried about the cats we had some rain yesterday and they don’t like rain. I was able
to feed all three of them. 💕🎈

My projects are looking better I am getting ready for fall and all. 😘💕😎

I love the idea of a cruise to Hawaii if I got that right you go girls. 😘

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 😘😎💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten I hope this little post find you doing well. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

Hope all is back to normal in the neighborhood. When the electric goes out, I wander around my house doing nothing or trying to figure out what I can do.🙄 We are so dependent on it. I wouldn’t have made it during Little House on the Prairie times!

Warm, sunny day around 85. Looks like we will have some of your rain next week.🌧 Hubs is golfing so I am taking my time on small things. He will eat there so I will enjoy a big salad for me.🥗

Glad the Chiefs are on Sunday night so I will get to see them. And maybe a new outfit on Taylor. Love the boots but I hope she sits most of the game. I guess I’m just showing my age.😮

Fingers crossed your lights are on this evening.🤞 Big hugs to you, Poppy and the damp cats.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I am making sure the animals are fed because we have a big storm on the
way tonight. I know we need the rain but the cats hate it. I think as long as they are fed
and have a safe place to chill during the storm they will be alright. 😎💕

Hey if the game is on we will be raining we will rain all weekend. 💕😎 We have certain
parts of Kansas will get more rain then other parts. I will take it.

Still at it on projects this is a one and done deal. Hubby is helping too. 💕😘

I hope your husband is having a good Golf Game and enjoying himself. 😎

Goodnight and enjoy your evening time for the History Channel. 😎💕

@sheba2011

I didn’t see hubby on Friday. Instead I was cleaning the guest bathroom to get it ready for the roofers. They will be here Saturday morning. So far I am happy with my choice. The owner and supervisor has explained everything and it seems they know what they are doing. The people I used following the two hurricanes seemed to know what to do. However, I had to contact them two more times when the roof began to leak again. Each time they asked if that was part of the initial problem. It was. Then it took weeks, in my case, months. before they returned. There were a myriad of things I could have done, but decided to look for someone who knew what to do. And now I have a leak in the same place. The roofer phoned me this afternoon to look at the ceiling in our den before starting the project. He is thinking about tearing down the entire ceiling and roof in that area and installing new everything. The amount he quoted will stay the same. If that is the case, his crew will help me move everything out of the room and when done help to move everything back. Meanwhile, we have another water main break. Right now I have water, but it looks like everything will be shut down sometime today. Hoping the problem can be rectified in one day.

It is still very hot and humid. Temps are in the 90s and so is the humidity. No rain this week. I am again watching the tropics. Looks like two or three in the Atlantic and one that is in the Caribbean may become the next hurricane and head for the Gulf Coast. I’ve seen this on a map and right now it could go towards Mexico or Texas. However, depending upon the jet stream it could head our way.

I am again concerned with xango. Her hubby had Covid and I am hoping she didn’t get it. I do remember that she was scheduled for another procedure and here’s hoping that she is OK. She seemed to be doing good recuperating from the last hospital stay which was weeks. September is also her anniversary month and I am hoping that they went away for a few days. After what she has been through for the last year, getting away is the best medicine for recuperation. At least it is a few days of no cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc., etc..

Enjoy your Saturday. Hope you can sit and relax for a change. The rain from the other day could have messed with your computer. If you can, try to send a few of those drops our way.

Here’s looking at you kid. 😎🎈

Just Smile. 😎

What dreams are made of. 😎🎈💕

@sheba2011

This is so true, lol!😂

Billy Joel Lyrics
“Allentown”

Well we’re living here in Allentown
And they’re closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they’re killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we’re living here in Allentown

But the restlessness was handed down
And it’s getting very hard to stay

Well we’re waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke
And chromium steel
And we’re waiting here in Allentown

But they’ve taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away

Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face

Well I’m living here in Allentown
And it’s hard to keep a good man down
But I won’t be getting up today

And it’s getting very hard to stay
And we’re living here in Allentown

Oh Snap this is OZ. 😎

NATIONAL DANCE DAY | THIRD SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER

Break out into a twirl or two-step on National Dance Day on the third Saturday in September. The day focuses on raising awareness about dance. It also encourages Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health and combat obesity.

NATIONAL NEW YORK DAY

As we continue our tour of the states, September 21 brings us to National New York Day, honoring the Empire State. New York is the 11th state to join the Union and we think the state is entitled to some amazing occades!

From the timeless halls of Ellis Island to the epic beauty of Niagara Falls and breathtaking Adirondacks, New York is infused with grand vistas and endless historical paths to retrace. With New York City as the epitome of a melting pot long before the term was coined, the state is full of inspiration for artists, sparks intelligent debate and philosophical discussion.

People & Places
The Lenape people populated the land now known as New York. They’re also known as the Delaware Indians. Their settlements also spread across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and parts of Delaware and Connecticut. However, the Dutch were the first Europeans to settle the area and named it New Netherland.

Settlements and trading posts developed up and down the Hudson River. Albany, the state capital, was once called Beverwijck and the center of the fur trade. In 1624, the Dutch established a settlement on Nutten Island named New Amsterdam. Two years later, they would move to Manhattan Island, and the colony flourished.

Over time, the settlement exchanged hands between the Dutch and British several times, each without bloodshed. The first exchange, in 1664, would name it New York.

Independence & Influence
After declaring independence, the colonies later created the Articles of Confederation. Soon they discovered a stronger governing document was needed.

While New York sent three delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, only Alexander Hamilton remained to sign the final document. A Federalist, Hamilton held strong opinions that could potentially influence the framing of the young nation’s new governing document. For one, Hamilton supported a life term of service for the President.

NATIONAL CHAI DAY

On September 21, the aroma filling the room comes from ancient spices, perfectly steeped into a cup of delicious tea is because it’s National Chai Day. This beverage holiday celebrates the strong, satisfying tea that is ordered at cafes across the country.

RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP DAY

On the third Saturday in September, Responsible Dog Ownership Day reminds pet owners to make a promise to your furever friend.

PUPPY MILL AWARENESS DAY

National Puppy Mill Awareness Day on the third day in September encourages those looking for a new dog, to adopt, not shop.

An observance dedicated to improving the lives of dogs, the day spreads the word about the poor conditions of puppy mills. While reputable dog breeders care for the animals they raise, a puppy mill doesn’t put the animal’s needs first. Not only do the dogs often live in poor conditions, but they’re bred T often than is healthy. Additionally, puppy mills don’t take into consideration preferred characteristics when breeding.

As a result, breeding lines are not well-tracked, and genetic defects develop. The mills remove young from the mothers’ much too early. Sickness, malnutrition, and behavior issues are common. Often, mills skimp on vaccines, also.

BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUB DAY FOR KIDS | Third Saturday in September

We celebrate Boys’ and Girls’ Club Day for Kids during the third Saturday in September to get involved in meaningful activities and enjoy the wonderment of childhood activities.

😎😘

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to our lovely Community. 😎

Good day in Florida and I hope you and hubby are having a nice Saturday. 😎🎈

Good afternoon, summer is still here in the ‘burgh. Nice all weekend.

I’m pretty sure the Chiefs are in Atlanta tomorrow so no worries about your rain.🏈🌧 Unless it’s raining in Atlanta, also. First pre-season hockey game on here this evening.🏒

Getting ready to cook some crab cakes for dinner. Have a relaxing evening, last day of summer hugs to you, Poppy and the cats.🤗💖

We are almost done with the projects.

Hey enjoy your Hockey Game. 😘💕

Enjoy! 💕😎

No thanks I am good. 😎

Goodbye Summer see ya. 😎🎈

AUTUMNAL EQUINOX

The Autumnal Equinox in September ushers in a change of season. It is observed annually when the sun can be seen directly overhead along the equator. The day marks the end of summer and beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.

The autumn equinox is one of two days when all points on Earth except the polar regions see the sunrise and set at due east and due west. With few exceptions, all latitudes see almost precisely 12 hours of daylight and 12 of darkness.

While the United States marks the official end of summer at Labor Day, the seasons mark time differently. Depending on where we live, the trees and animals behave differently based on the amount of sunlight they receive. By the time the equinox arrives in September, the leaves in many parts of the country have already begun to change. The air at night is crisper.

People’s minds begin to think about warmer clothes and preparing their homes for winter. Since children are already in school, most summer activities have ended. In the fields, farmers eagerly watch for the opportune time to harvest. Apples, pumpkins, and root vegetables ripen in the orchards and gardens. On cool evenings, long walks along the trails under the canopies of gold, umber, violet and crimson keep us warm.

CAR FREE DAY

On September 22, Car Free Day encourages motorists around the world to give up their vehicles for a day. Car Free Day aims to see what life would be like without cars on the road.

NATIONAL STATES AND CAPITALS DAY | September 22

September 22 focuses on raising awareness and sharing education about all 50 states and their capitals on National States and Capitals Day.

NATIONAL BROWN BUTTER DAY

September 22 is National Brown Butter Day! This saucy food holiday celebrates the delicious results of transforming simple butter into a culinary delight.

NATIONAL ICE CREAM CONE DAY

Despite the official end of summer, National Ice Cream Cone Day continues celebrating on September 22! I scream! You scream! We all scream for ice cream!

• This reply was modified 1 month, 4 weeks ago by  Sheba2011.

NATIONAL WHITE CHOCOLATE DAY

Satisfy your sweet tooth on National White Chocolate Day on September 22. Enjoy it with pretzels or drizzled on pastries. It’s a versatile confection with many ways to celebrate!

Since white chocolate does not contain cocoa solids, it is not chocolate in the strictest sense. During the process of manufacturing chocolate, the dark-colored solids of the cocoa bean separates from the fatty content. But unlike milk or dark chocolate, the solids are not reincorporated. As a result, white chocolate also does not contain as much caffeine or antioxidants as its darker counterparts.

Nestlé launched the first white chocolate bar in Europe. Known by the names Milkybar and Galak, Nestlé first produced the candy bar in the 1930s. Besides candy bars and fudge, white chocolate also comes in liqueurs, chips, ganache, truffles, and liquid forms.

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎😘💕🎈Lady Fall is here in my area of OZ as we are raining
and low 60’s it will rain all day. Very dark and cloudy and I am fine with that.

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday. I know Game Day. 😎🎈I have a lot of family
in that part of the country so this will be interesting. All of our children were born on
Kansas soil. No one is talking we shall see. I am almost finish with my projects. 💕

Kick back and relax sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 🎈😎

@kittengirl,

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

@sheba2011

Happy Fall to you. National ice cream cone and white chocolate day sounds a whole lot better than national states and capitals day, lol!🍦 The first two I can celebrate. Just finished cutting up a very ripe honeydew and it is delish, one of my favorites.

We will be getting your rain on and off tomorrow through Wednesday.🌧 We do need it. Just hope it’s showers and no storms.

Congrats to your niece, sounds like one smart woman.👩‍🎓👍 She should be holding her head high. That is a lot of school and your family should be so proud.😊

Good luck tonight, I will be rooting with you. Fall hugs to you, Poppy and the cats.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Thanks for the shout out to my nieces she worked really hard on that second Masters. 😎🎈
Hey she rewarded herself with a Cruise to the Bahamas with my other niece her cousin my
other sister’s daughter who is a certified teacher there in GA. This niece is also working on
her second Masters. 🎈😎

Hubby and I have a close cousin who is in Paris, France as I type this note. The pictures
he is sending are just beautiful. 😎🎈😘Cousin went to a wedding with friends and it looks
like all are having a great time.

The Game! I am wore out from screaming and talking to our kids and family. Lady it has
been a long day. Sweet dreams. 😘💕

The rain is pouring right now.

@sheba2011

We had another main water line break. This one is at the end of our road. Tomorrow we expect the water to shut down. How long is anybody’s guess. I have plenty of bottled water and will add if need be. Hubby is still itching. He had one day without scratching. I will be bringing Clean Boss, but not the spray. I also purchased the Wipes. I happened to use them on the guest bathroom and they worked just as good. Actually, I was impressed. I will let everything air dry. No streaks. No mess.

Still haven’t found hubby’s glasses. Tomorrow, both the new unit manager and the social worker will be told. They also, just recently, received a note. If it isn’t found, then I know it was stolen and I do have an aide in mind, but will not say a word. I don’t have proof.

Last night, the aide raised hubby’s bed and we both looked underneath. What I found was dust and dirt. No one has cleaned under there in days or months. Could this be the reason for the itches????? I do have a bug spray, and it’s a huge container that gets the job done. However, the rehab should definitely do a super cleaning of all rooms, nurse’s stations, reception area, etc. and also contact their exterminator. I’m positive that hubby isn’t the only one suffering from the itches. I will bring this up to the unit manager as well. Definitely will mention Clean Boss., though it will probably go on deaf ears. It seems they have their own disinfectant. It’s the same color as Windex. Now to get ready to see hubby. 🚕😉🌴🕶😅🍕
Gee, low 60s. I forget what that temp feels like. We are at 90 degrees with 100% humidity. September used to be a beautiful month in Florida. Just not today. What am I saying???? It’s been like this since June. Enjoy the rain. Hoping your cool front will slip more toward Florida and get rid of the monster storm that is now forming in the Gulf.

Tomorrow, no water. Time to do the pantry…….🎹🎵😉 Enjoy your evening and splashing in the puddles.

@oodiebom,

Well almost good morning to you. We had a late Game and we won. 🎈😎

I just want to say I hope they find your husband glasses and soon. Glasses are not
cheap.

I wish you could bring him home tomorrow with the proper help and assistance
with the house.

I will write more it has been a long day for me.

Oz is in the low 50’s and light rain all I can say is bring it on. 💕😎

Goodnight and sleep well.😘

INNERGIZE DAY | DAY AFTER THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX

Innergize Day on the day after the Autumnal Equinox offers an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. This is a day for you!

NATIONAL FAMILY DAY

On the fourth Monday in September, National Family Day encourages everyone to gather around the table and enjoy a meal together.

NATIONAL GREAT AMERICAN POT PIE DAY

National Great American Pot Pie Day cooks up a toasty meal on September 23. Warm up the home with a toasty meal of pot pies to celebrate!

NATIONAL SNACK STICK DAY

On September 23, National Snack Stick Day encourages you to pack your pockets, backpacks, and desk drawers with yummy snack sticks so you can celebrate!

TEAL TALK DAY

Let’s talk. September 23 is Teal Talk Day and each year, over 249,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer worldwide. So, gather your friends, wear teal for a day out together and talk.

Join a group of coworkers for lunch. Men are welcome, also. They have mothers, wives, daughters, and sisters at risk for ovarian cancer. They should have the Teal Talk, too! Since no standard screening exists for ovarian cancer, awareness gives us our best defense. The talk takes very little time. Have a Teal Talk over lunch. In that time, approximately 28 women will receive an ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Invite your closest friends, neighbors, and sisters for drinks in the back yard. Wear your favorite teal and give the Teal Talk. Let them know early detection improves survival rates by 90%. Make sure they know the symptoms.

Persistent bloating
Lack of energy
Loss of appetite
Feeling fuller sooner.
During your Teal Talk, find more signs at Ovarcome.org.

Go for a walk with your mom and her friends. Even a short walk will be long enough for a Teal Talk. Ask them about family history and encourage them to share it with their daughters and granddaughters. Urge them to see their gynecologist to review family history for inherited risk factors. Families with a strong history of ovarian or breast cancer have a 15-40% lifetime risk when compared to the general population, according to the National Cancer Institute.

@loaf,

Good morning in your corner of the world wishing you a great Monday and welcome
to Fall. 😎🎈😘

@xango,

Good day in Florida and may this Monday be a good one for you and hubby.
I hope things are going well for your family. We all miss you. 🎈😎😘

Just be well Happy Fall. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕😎🎈I am sorry about that water main
break happening again. Good grief that is a lot of work to deal with. Be sure to take a nice
long luxury shower before they shut off everything.

I wish I could send you some nice rain and cooler temps. OZ is 59 degrees as I type
this post to you. We are raining it is light but still any rain will do. 💕😎 Poppy and I
walked in the rain this morning. 💕

I hope someone at the rehab finds your husband’s much needed glasses. If someone took
them that is not cool. I would be livid! People are so selfish these days they don’t care about
anyone it’s all about me and my selfish reason. Holy smoke!

I am getting chill bumps and I have no A/C or fan on. No problem I just put on a DG Hoodie.

Here is to a better week and I hope the Roofers do a great job one and done. 😎

This is where I long to be. Oodie let me know how things go for you today. 😘😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this Monday finds you and hubs doing well. 😎😘🎈

Enjoy the trails where ever they lead you. 🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎😘What a Game last night and I had family at the Game.
Hubby was watching I was off and on too intense for me.

Family was fine with us winning.

Oz is alright with 60 degrees and gentle rain. 💕🎈😎

Enjoy your fall day rain will be coming your way.

Sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 😘💕🎈

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten wishing you a nice Monday and welcome to Fall. 🎈💕😎

@sheba2011

I did watch the whole game last night. Glad they are winning but they need to blow out a few of the teams coming up. Like you said, too close for comfort.😮

Gloomy day, a couple raindrops, upper 70’s and humid. We should get much more rain tomorrow.⛈ Need to drop my car off for inspection in the morning so I should be around the house all day. Felt tired and lazy today.

Enjoy your cooler weather. Lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I hope you are enjoying this time. OZ is in the low 60’s same as
we were this morning. 💕

The cats have all been fed seems they sense a change in time and are coming early
to eat. I burn more calories running up and down the stairs feeding them as I do my
mile walk. 😎💕 My legs are nice and firm.

I hope Oodie will be alright with the water main break and her husband does well
enough to come home. I am missing Xango I think she is taking some me time nothing
wrong with that. 😎

I am about to jump in the shower and perhaps read a good book. Hubby is already in
bed when it gets chilly like this beautiful fall night hubby goes to sleep fast. LOL!

I hope your Hockey Teams win it all. 💕🎈

Here’s looking at Fall sweet dreams. 😘💕

@sheba2011

I am watching the tropics again. At the moment, the water has been shut off. I was able to get one load of wash in and then looked at the clock. It was after 1pm and I thought I might as well do a second load. The second load was in a spin cycle and I had to shut everything down. Oh well. I wonder if we will need to wait another five days.

It looks like our area will not get a direct hit, but will see rain and some wind gusts to 60 mph. The storm will probably hit Tampa and then go North. Tallahassee may get the brunt and then go up the SE Coast. Looks like Savannah so I assume your children are safe. However, I think you said one daughter is on the coast of Ga.. I would assume they will see some storm surge.

The roofers were here on Saturday. They had a good crew and were done by 2 pm.. They noticed an area where a downspout was needed. They will be returning to redo that area. This rain storm or whatever we are getting will be a good test on their workmanship. I left the bins in the den area just in case. The men were good to work with. All questions were answered. What a difference from the roofers we had two years ago. No wonder they are 5 starred. And to think they came from Ft. Myers which is an hour and a half away.

Welcome beautiful Fall. 😎💕
