Winter Lady
Song by Leonard Cohen

Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I’m just a station on your way
I know I’m not your lover
Well, I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder
She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she’d weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway
Traveling lady, stay awhile
Until the night is over
I’m just a station on your way
I know I’m not your lover

NATIONAL CANINE LYMPHOMA AWARENESS DAY

On November 7th, National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day educates and creates awareness about canine lymphoma.

NATIONAL MEN MAKE DINNER DAY

National Men Make Dinner Day on the first Thursday in November places the man of the house in charge of the kitchen and the evening’s meal.

Some men like to cook and do so on a regular basis. To those men, kudos to you! You can submit your favorite recipe on the National Men Make Dinner website.

This day was created for the men who do not know their way around the kitchen and are not familiar with cooking appliances, as well as for the women in their lives who need a break.

Men need to be aware that there is a list of rules that must be followed, some of which include:

The main meal must include a minimum of 4 ingredients and require at least one cooking utensil other than a fork.
The man does the shopping for all the necessary ingredients.
Clean up as you go.
Aprons are optional.

NATIONAL CASH BACK DAY

National Cash Back Day on the first Thursday in November speaks to the savvy shopper in all of us. It’s one big day of exclusive offers that gives you the gift of cash back.

NATIONAL RETINOL DAY

On November 7th, celebrate the most popular anti-aging skincare ingredient with National Retinol Day!

Did you know that retinol is one of the most searched skincare ingredients in the world? As the gold-standard for anti-aging ingredients, retinol is consistently recommended by dermatologists and heralded for its transformative effects on skin.

Retinol is a retinoid, a derivative of Vitamin A, and works by boosting skin’s renewal process and helps to diminish signs of aging including lines & wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven tone and texture.
It is also one of the most tested ingredients, which means scientists continue to improve the effectiveness of this popular skincare ingredient year after year.

NATIONAL BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE WITH ALMONDS DAY

On November 7th, National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day ushers in one of the more healthful ways to enjoy chocolate.

Bittersweet chocolate is chocolate liquor to which sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla have been added. It has less sugar and more liquor than semisweet chocolate. However, the two of them may be interchangeable when baking.

Recent studies reveal health benefits from eating small quantities of bittersweet chocolate. The addition of almonds increases health benefits as well. Pairing the two of them gives us a delicious and healthy snack. Make them a part of your lunch or enjoy them as part of an afternoon snack.

Good Morning Peeps and enjoy the HSN Community. 🎈😎

@loaf,

Good morning in Ohio wishing you and the kidz a great Thursday. 😎🎈😘

@xango,

Good day in Florida and may this Thursday be a nice one for you. Enjoy your fresh coffee
and rolls. 😎

@sheba2011 🌹

Hello Sheba,
It’s a very warm, muggy day here. I couldn’t believe just how high the humidity is, 64% it makes the temperature feels like 91%. It’s a cloudy day and with a few sprinkles of rain. Though we need rain, it didn’t rain.
I have started decorating for Christmas and I am enjoying myself doing it this year. Last year I didn’t do much, this year I am going all out on the decorations. I saw Christmas tree music boxes and musical Christmas carousel on Temu and ordered some for the house. They are so cute and very reasonable. I have looked at several places for many items. And then I search on Temu and compare the item and price.
The croissants and coffee looks wonderful. I wish I had them this morning. I did have some french bread with my coffee this morning. I used a small hand held milk frother I got from Temu, it works real well. I ordered some Christmas rugs and kitchen towels too.

Take care Sheba 🌹🌹🌹

@xango,

Good evening and I do hope it is cooling off you. Xango the heat will be on tonight
we are cold here in OZ. We have rain all night tomorrow.

I am alright with it as you get use to it. 😎

I think a little Xmas shopping is a good thing. 💕🎈

Have fun I have some nice Perlier coming from HSN tomorrow and I did not hold back. 💕😎

Enjoy your evening with your husband.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I hope your labs go well.
Thank goodness AAA was there in a timely manner.

I have a lot of irons in the fire one of those weeks. LOL!

Oodie I wish I live in a climate that would support this beautiful tree year round. 💕

Please let me know how things are going today for you.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎Enjoy the day with your friends.

OZ is a wee bit chilly but we have the sun. 😎

I am a little busy today but all good.

If you see these cuties out and about just smile. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. 🎈😘💕Oz is a bit chilly but alright.

Good luck with the Hockey Team tonight. 😎💕

This is a this and that day. Always something to do here in OZ.

This is my little break in the day.

This is OZ during storm season. 😎

Enjoy the Game and the food. 💕I hope you have a nice visit with your sister and mom.

Sending warm fuzzy hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

Nice day in the ‘burgh, not too hot or too cold.🌞 Mom and sis are fine, spent a couple hours there. Sis taking mom to a funeral home this afternoon, second time in about two weeks. When you’re 94, I guess this isn’t unusual. They all seem to be younger than mom, lol!😂

Have some running to do tomorrow, the weekend should be fairly calm.🤞 Hubs has one more round with the leaves and they should be done, finally. Will start to watch the game, they are playing the top team in the division so not sure how long I’ll last. I have lost patience.🙄

Enjoy your evening, wind down with something calm. Love and hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening and it’s ok about the Game they will come back. I think we have said all we
did to say for tonight. Get some rest dear friend. 💕

Sweet Dreams.

@kittengirl,

Good Morning in California wishing you a wonderful Thursday. 🎈😎💕

Paul Williams Lyrics
“Nice To Be Around”

Hello such a simple way to start a love affair
Should I jump right in and say how much I care
Would you take me for a mad man or a simple hearted clown
Hello with affection from a sentimental fool
To a little girl who’s broken of every rule
One who brings me up when all the others seem to let me down
One whose nice to be around

Should I say that it’s a blue world without you
Nice words I remember from an old love song
But all wrong, ’cause I never called it love before
This feeling’s new – this came with you

And I know that the nicest things that never seem to last
That we’re both a bit embarrassed by our past
But I think there’s something special in the feelings that we’ve found
And you’re nice to be around
And you’re nice to be around

California Nights
Song by Lesley Gore

Along the sand
Let’s walk the shore together, now, just hand in hand
It’s gonna be fair weather, now,
When the stars come out, stop to count them in the sky
Love California nights
When I’m walkin’ with you hand in hand by the shore,
Yes, I love California nights,
At the beach where we’d swim with the tide rolling in
And there will be beneath the midnight sky above
Just you and me, and we will whisper words of love
While the fire light softly flickers in the sand
Warm California nights
With the breeze blowin’ in time for love to begin
I would miss California nights if I went on my way
Thinkin’ now that I’ll stay
Ooh, baby,
Love you, baby
Mm, baby
Love California nights,
Always close as a kiss, nothing’s sweeter than this,
And we’ll spend California nights,
Always close as a kiss

@loaf,

Good Morning in Ohio Loaf I miss you so much. What fun we’ve had on this
thread. 😎🎈💕

Loaf it was ten years ago I created this thread and have kept it going you were one
of the first people to encourage me to continue. We have spent many years together.

I miss your humor and your down to earth style. 🎈😎I hope the kidz are all doing well.

Hey enjoy this beautiful Fall Season.

@xango,

Good morning in Florida and enjoy the day. 😎🎈I hope your coffee taste great.

Oz had some good well needed rain. 😎💕

@oodiebom,

Good morning on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Wishing you a nice Wednesday.
I hope you are able to visit your husband and he is doing well and ready to come home.

Oz is beautiful today we are in the 40’s. We had three days of rain and everything looks
so clean. Naturally all the leaves are down and will be taken care of in a few days.

I hope KP is over for you and all the paper work is going to be alright.

This reminds me of your two New England Homes. 💕😎

If you have time let me know how things are going.

@sheba2011

Good morning. I have labs today, so up early. Using the spare on the car. The next two days with Triple A worked better. They were here within 40 minutes. Thinking that the tip was the culprit to the tire, just had it filled and all seemed well. Drove to see hubby, and leaving, another story. Yep, the tire was down again. So made another call to Triple yesterday, and they were at my door within 20 minutes and attached the spare. Had an appointment with Firestone and when I arrived their computers were down, so will need to make another appointment. May try Costco since I need to gas up anyway and I also need a hotdog fix. Haven’t had one in over a year.

Hubby is good. The RNs are in an agreement that they feel hubby will do better at home. One of our neighbors is or was a Physical Therapist and he has friends that will be able to help. There is now no reason why he cannot stand on one leg and with help may be able to use the bad one as well. Walking may be a problem, but taking some tiny steps may not be. Time will tell. Getting him home at this time will be a slight problem. I will need to install 2 ramps. One from out den to the lanai and the other from the front door to the carport. I will also need to install a walk-in shower. That’s a one day job. But, why not do the entire bathroom to make it more handicapped friendly and accessible. I am also thinking of a sink with drawer space along with the underneath portion. Or may find a cabinet that will work even better. I’m not sure if something under the sink would work with a wheelchair. I’m looking online for ideas. This is so much fun. I’m learning a lot.

I am still doing KP, but things are now starting to come together. Redoing the second time has it’s charm. I redid the drawers and things are starting to come together. One side of the kitchen is almost done and I’m looking forward to getting the new airfryer out of the box. I also love the hex glad pans with the stainless. So easy to clean even the burnt areas is a quick thing with a sponge or towel. I discarded the teflon which in my opinion isn’t healthy. And, I found a cart that hubby can use in the house. The seat lifts up, so there will be no excuse for him to use the stove and oven or help clearing the table or doing the dishes. I also ordered an Origami bookcase for the den. It’s still in a box outside. The den will need a thorough cleaning from top to bottom before I put anything into that room. I will tackle that area before hubby returns. But best of all, I am finding things that I do not need and our tiny community does come together in December for a huge yard sale. It’s a one day event. Well, actually two. We all get together on the day of set up to check if there is something we need. Lately, I’ve stayed away. May do so this year as well.

Well, it’s almost time for me to get ready for the labs. It’s a cloudy day here and I suspect it’s Raphael. We may just get periods of rain. The hurricane is going in another direction. However, there is something else brewing out there. Never a dull moment, that’s for sure.

Have a great day and enjoy your walks with Poppy, especially in the moonlight. As soon as I have this house in order, will get a dog/cat or maybe one of each. Who knows. It will be great therapy for us both. 🌈🎵😀🌴🚕🕶🍦🍕

@oodiebom,

Good morning good to hear from you and good luck with the Labs. I agree there is always
something but at least things are looking good on the horizon for hubby return home. 💕

Oz is a crisp 40 degrees and yes last night the heat was on. 😎So glad as it took the chill off
the house.

My you have a honey do list. Glad AAA is stepping up.

We need to renew our Costco Card we already renewed the Sam’s Club.

Enjoy some tea with your Manuka Honey. 😎💕🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎💕🎈OZ is beautiful after three days of rain and we
needed it. 💕😎

Busy day for me as I am multi-tasking. LOL!

Taci enjoy this crisp Wednesday Morning. I am going for a very long walk and take
in some fresh air. 😎

Hey Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

I think you are back to your normal from your wonderful trip abroad. 💕 Taci how was the
music?

Sheba, Oz sounds like it’s having a beautiful fall day today.
How are your kids doing in GA?

Happy 10 years! Wow, that is incredible. Congratulations on the great job you do here everyday!

Went for a Covid and Flu shot today, left with a dtap and flu shot. Since I had Covid in early September, the nurse told me to wait. I still have some immunity, well hope so.

I feel settled back in but a bit bored after all that running around. Went to the gym and tried a yoga class. Yoga just isn’t my thing. It’s too hard on my wrists and knees. The floor is hard and some people double mats but I dont want to deal with all that as I bring my own mat. You know the gym mats probably aren’t cleaned. The stretch class a few days ago was really good.

The music from the Play was wonderful. The entire cast and crew were so great.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 💕😎🎈Oz is beautiful today and we are now in the low 50’s.
This is great weather for walking and in the evening when it is totally dark around 5:30 p.m.
in these parts the moon is out and it is enchanting. 💕

Lady I am wishing your Hockey Team good luck tomorrow night when they play. 💕😎

I am making a tuna salad to munch on during the day. I buy the best tuna and I make
it like my mom. 😘💕

I am getting a few errands out of the way and then I am taking it easy.

Sending peaceful and loving hugs to you and Jake. 💕😘😎 Lady thank you for always
being so funny and making this thread a joy to do. I bet you are the life of the party. 🎈

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in Oz. It is cloudy and we had a tiny bit of rain this morning.🌧 A local grocery store is having a two-day sale so I ran over to grab a few good deals early before they were gone. Love tuna salad – lots of eggs!🥚

Stayed up late last night reading and watching election results. I was too warm from the 80+ degree day so got up early. I will probably zonk out quick this evening.😴 May go to mom’s tomorrow. Have my annual heart test Friday.

Thank YOU for this thread, day after day, month after month, year after year. A true friend to have fun, laugh and talk with. And remember, twins!!!👯‍♀️ Jake and I sending hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and thank you for such a sweet post. 😘🎈😎 Lady when I do this thread
I have been up for hours and I do this in my spare time. I do more before I start the day
and this thread then most people do all day.

I love being creative I never know what I am going to do when my fingers hit the keyboard.
My mind and fingers work at the same time. LOL! I do not copy anyone on this planet that
would be annoying. I like being me and no one else. 😎

Thank you for posting I love your company. 😘

Have a good evening Oz is cold tonight. 😎💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and may this day finds you doing well. Hang in there Kitten. 😎🎈💕

@loaf,

Good Morning in Ohio and may this be a great Tuesday for you. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good day in Florida glad you can relax a bit. 😎🎈Enjoy this beautiful Fall.
Oz has rained for three days no problem there we were dry as a bone.

Enjoy your decorations I love doing that this time of year I just take apart a room
and create a new vision. 😎

Enjoy your fresh coffee and rolls. 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈So glad you were able to visit your husband.
Thank goodness you had extra food.

Oodie for the first time in my life the time change affected me the first two days. I never ever
had a problem until Sunday. No worries I was raking up leaves and the pollen count was insane.
I feel great today. 🎈😎I don’t mind walking Poppy in the moonlight it is fun. 💕

So sorry about your car and I hope everything works out for you. Oodie there is always
something. I know that’s life.

After all the rains Oz is beautiful. 💕😎🎈I am so glad you are great with food.

@taci,

Good Morning in California. 🎈😎Glad you got your Vote in. I love the discussion with friends.
I am talking to my Professor/Friend and she is a ball of fire. Taci she is from Philly and has been
in the Ozarks at her Cabin for well over a week. We are getting together because we talk too
much on the phone. LOL! This started during Covid and I just did not want to be in anyone’s
home and face to face. I feel more relax now and I visit her when ever she is not traveling
and she has been to many places.

Oz is beautiful today my body has adjusted to the time change I have never had that
happen to me in my lifetime.

Taci I love you and your walking. 💕🎈

Happy Trails To You. 🎶😎

Sheba, glad you are doing better with the time change. It’s that feeling like something is off.
Your Professor friend and neighbor gets around. She sounds interesting. I really enjoyed all the uphills and steps in Europe. It was easy to get exercise. Here it really takes effort. I did notice some of the tourists used walking or hiking sticks, and some people did look in pain on some hills. I could see the knees locking up. Ouch.
We tried some Mexican food at a Mexican Restaurant in Lisbon because hubs was having withdrawals but it wasn’t very good at all. Oh, I wanted to also tell you about my McDonalds trip. The portions there are much smaller which I enjoyed. I ordered a drink which was coffee with ice cream in it. I got a tiny cup with about 2 Tablespoons of coffee topped with maybe 1 Tablespoon of ice cream. It was pretty hilarious to us.
Enjoy the evening.

@taci,

Good evening keep those stories coming I really love them. 😎🎈💕
I enjoy both tea and coffee. Andrew Lessman makes great tea.

I have been in the night walking around with Poppy. All my cats are well feed. 💕😎

I use both Perlier and Korres body products and I am about to jump in the shower.

My bath boutique is so pretty and smells fantastic great way to relax.

I am keeping those walks going it’s really beautiful with the moon at night.

Live Taci enjoy everything. 💕🎈

@shoelady60

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈💕 What a game last night. 💕
We went into overtime I could not believe the last few minutes.

Thank you for being such a good sport and enjoying the ride.

I am getting use to the time change. I am good now. 😎

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 😎💕

@sheba2011

Whew, that is not the kind of game we like! I just had to stay up and watch until the end. Still undefeated, yay!😊 I did see Taylor sitting between her mom and maybe MIL? Glad they won for her sake.

I think we broke a record today, it is 82 as I’m typing this.🌞🔥 Put a sweatshirt on this morning and had to take it off this afternoon. Not complaining but these weather swings are crazy.

Thanks for the delicious drink last night, as you know, it was needed.🍸 Since it’s so warm I’m making salads for dinner.🥗

Have a peaceful, moonlight walk tonight. Sending lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening the Game is one for the books in excitements. Hey that was Mama Kelce
in the stands as you mention that is her mother she is with her as well. The local media
really cover TS when she goes to those Games. 😎💕🎈

Glad everyone is doing well. I have a nice stash of Perlier from HSN on the way. 💕

We are in the 40’s as I type this post to you. Very busy day so I am calling it night.

Sweet Dreams as tomorrow is another day. 💕

@kittengirl,

Good Morning in California wishing you a great Tuesday. 😎🎈

RIP Quincy Jones. Here are some of the artists and songs he made magic with.

It’s My Party
Song by Lesley Gore

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he’s supposed to be mine?
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Playin’ my records, keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
‘Til Johnny’s dancing with me
I’ve got no reason to smile
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her King
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Judy’s wearin’ his ring
It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Oh, it’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
It’s my party…

Lesley Gore, “It’s My Party” (1963)
Hanging onto his love of Latin percussion and cool hot brass, Jones — who not only produced the song but signed 16-year-old Gore to Mercury Records — created one of pop’s angstiest adolescent hits. With its double-tracked vocals, handclap beat, quirky chord changes, aggressive brass and contagious melody, “It’s My Party” out Spector-ed Phil Spector’s girl-group wall of sound at its commercial peak.

Off the Wall
Song by Michael Jackson

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can’t hang with the feeling
Then there ain’t no room for you, this part of town
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy, that’s the only way
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself
Groove
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all
Live your life off the wall
(Live your life off the wall)
Live it off the wall
You can shout out all you want to
‘Cause there ain’t no sin an’ folks all gettin’ loud
If you take the chance an’ do it
Then there ain’t no one who’s gonna put you down
‘Cause we’re the party people, night an’ day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself
Step on and groove
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all
Live your life off the wall
(Live your life off the wall)
Live it off the wall
Do what you want to do
There ain’t no rules, it’s up to you
(Ain’t no rules, it’s up to you)
It’s time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose, deep inside your soul
Wanna see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy that’s the only way
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
C’mon and groove
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
(Life ain’t so bad at all)
Live it off the wall
(Live your life off the wall)
So tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself
C’mon and groove (Groove)
Let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all
If you livin’ off the wall
Tonight
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
(Livin’ off the wall)
An’ just enjoy yourself (Life is better off)
C’mon and groove (Livin’ off the wall)
Let the madness in the music get to you (Life is better off)
Life ain’t so bad at all (Livin’ off the wall)
Wanna dance (Tonight, off the wall)
Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
An’ just enjoy yourself

Baby Come to Me
Song by James Ingram and Patti Austin

Thinkin’ back in time
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain’t no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don’t let it slide
There’s a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh-so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to living without you
Spendin’ every dime
To keep you talkin’ on the line
That’s how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There’s a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh-so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby, always stay
‘Cause I can’t go back to living without you
The night can be cold
There’s a chill to every evening when you’re all alone
Don’t talk anymore
‘Cause you know that I’ll be here to keep you warm
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I’m oh-so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby, always stay
Come to me
This was meant to be
Need you everyday
Baby, always stay
I can’t go back to living without you
Without you
Without you

This song was written by HSN Lional Ritchie and Michael Jackson
Producer: Quincy Jones

We Are the World
Song by U.S.A. for Africa

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We’re all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come

Frank Sinatra Lyrics
“The Best Is Yet To Come”

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started in to hum
Still, it’s a real good bet, the best is yet to come

Best is yet to come and babe, won’t that be fine?
You think you’ve seen the sun, but you ain’t seen it shine

A-wait till the warm-up’s underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

The best is yet to come and babe, won’t it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine

Come the day you’re mine
I’m gonna teach you to fly
We’ve only tasted the wine
We’re gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround
You think you’ve flown before, but baby, you ain’t left the ground

A-wait till you’re locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
A-wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain’t nothin’ like it here

The best is yet to come and babe, won’t it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine

Come the day you’re mine
And you’re gonna be mine

Rainy Days and Mondays
Song by Carpenters

Talkin’ to myself and feelin’ old
Sometimes I’d like to quit
Nothin’ ever seems to fit
Hangin’ around
Nothin’ to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
What I’ve got they used to call the blues
Nothin’ is really wrong
Feelin’ like I don’t belong
Walkin’ around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it’s the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (talk it out)
We know what it’s all about
Hangin’ around (hangin’ around)
Nothin’ to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Funny, but it seems that it’s the only thing to do (only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me (ooh)
What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (to talk it out)
We know what it’s all about
Hangin’ around (hangin’ around)
Nothin’ to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hangin’ around (hangin’ around)
Nothin’ to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get
Me down

Good Morning in Ohio and may this Fall Monday find you doing well. 🎈😎💕Miss ya.

@xango,

Good morning in Florida here is to a good Monday. 💕😎🎈

@@Sheba2011

Hello Sheba 🌹,
I hope you are well enjoying the fall season 🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂.
Happy election day. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting. The work is done and now hopefully we can start to rest.

I will start to decorate the house for the holidays. This year I want to decorate early and the entire house not leaving any room not decorated. Both inside and outside. I ordered some Christmas lights and a few other things for the outside.
I see that Taylor Swift arrived at the Chiefs-Buccaneers game with mom Andrea.
Take care Sheba 🌹🌹🌹

@oodiebom,

Good morning on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎 I do hope you are getting some good
rest. The time change for the first time in forever is doing a number on me. What the hey! LOL!

Here is to a good Monday for you. I hope all goes well with the insurance and home repairs
from the storm.

Oodie your State still have beautiful trees and flowers. 😎💕

Wishing you a nice week and yeah traffic will be something else tomorrow.

@sheba2011

Went to see hubby yesterday and he was still hungry after dinner. The food on his plate did not amount to much. Everything was like mush and not much of it either. Thankfully, I made two grilled cheese sandwiches and a dessert for hubby. He absolutely devoured the sandwich. I left hubby around 9:30 as he was falling asleep. I arrived home after 1:30 am. Now for the whys. The car seemed to be Ok driving to the rehab. I keep checking the tire gauge on a panel in the car and they were doing fine. I got into the car and started to drive homeward. I hadn’t gone a quarter of a mile when the warning lights came on. Seemed my back tire was down. So I drove back to the rehab and contacted AAA. I thought for sure someone would be out almost immediately. It got to be 10:30 and no update on the Triple. 11:30 and still nothing. Our favorite Aide came out and was surprised to see me in the parking lot. I did check the car prior to calling triple and discovered the valve was missing. So when the aide came out he offered to show me the nearest gas station with an air pump. I decided to wait it out for another half hour or so. Then I remembered the boot as a spare and went into the trunk to see if it had a valve, which it did. I used that to seal the tire which was now down to 4. The gas station, as it turned out, was just a block down the road. Went in and though they had a pump, the hose was missing. I decided to drive home at that point. Luckily there the traffic at that hour was light. I saw amptjer gas station on route and swung in. They had an air pump, but no hose. Thinking it was inside I went in and they said it was out of order. So I drove on. There was another station just up the road. This time they had an air pump with hose. Had to pay $2 to use the pump. For some reason it would not pump and again went into the building. I was told that they were waiting for it to be repaired. Three gas stations where the air pump wasn’t working. No sign to say out of order. Absolutely horrendous. Waking up this morning, checked my cell and found that Triple came to my rescue after 8am.. To think I would have stayed at the rehab all night waiting for Triple gave me the willies. I contacted Triple this afternoon. It took 2 hours for someone to come out. End result was a tire that was ready to move. Drove to the rehab, everything was fine. Left around 10 pm and drove to the end of the driveway and the lights were flashing again. I drove home and will contact triple in the morning and then have the tire checked to see why the valve falls off. I now wonder if someone is fiddling with my car. I will get valve replacements and will keep them somewhere in the car. Thankfully, I am home.

I do like both time changes. When we fall behind, I wake up to some gorgeous sunrises. No alarm needed to start the day. I also remember as a child growing up waiting for the school bus and enjoying the sun on my back. At least I didn’t need to use a flashlight to alert drivers to people standing on the corner. Returning home, I had about an hour to stay outside and do nothing. Though it got dark around 4:30 pm I had that time to myself and then went inside to start the homework and get ready for the next day. Today, the sun wakes me around 7 am and I can stay in bed and watch the morning begin. However, I do have a shorter day to get things done, but hubby loves it because I get to spend an extra hour or two with him. Driving home is a no brainer. I leave when hubby starts to fall asleep and the drive home is the same darkness. So it feels no different. The time changes never bothered me. But I know others hate it. Me, I love the extra hour I can stay in bed and read or do a jigsaw. I can start the day without the tension.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈😘Hey neighbor will be back from your neck of woods
today. I am sure he will have interesting things to say busy week for all us.

I am hanging out with the Professor she is off this week. I think we may go and vote together.

Taci this was my breakfast today.

I want to also congrat your region Baseball Team for winning the World Series. 🎈😎

Oz is raining today and it rained all weekend we have leaves everywhere.

Enjoy the trails and keep safe out there. 💕🎈

Sheba, You had a good healthy breakfast. The Tree pictures are beautiful, and the little critters too. It seems many Canadians travel to warm spots (along with UK’er’s). We met someone who said on her first trip to Portugal, she knew immediately. She went back, got her kids and left for good. AZ also gets a lot of Canadian visitors. They are friendly people.
We mailed in ballots, which were tracked and counted within 2 days. I have a luncheon with 3 other women on Thursday to discuss the election. I asked my hubs to fill in for me but he declined. Deep Breaths….
You are right about hiking and walking keeping me ready to walk all over when we travel. We log a lot of steps on hills of cobblestones, tiled stones, some with mud and dirt, steps, more steps and oh my so many steps. By the way, I love steps. My view is walk 20-30 minutes up hill to get to a Castle to walk an hour or two with more steps, then walk down hill to a town square, then uphill to the room, then up a few flights of steps to get to the room. Just when you hit the wall – more steps. Loved it 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good morning in the ‘burgh. 😎💕🎈Here is to a new week and may it be good for all.
We have rain and I have no problem with that.

Game Night I am not saying a word. 🎈😎

I hope TS is in town things are about to get interesting.

Sending sweet vibes to you and Jake. 😘🎈Lady how is your mom and sister?

@sheba2011

Good afternoon or maybe I should say good early evening.🌗 Nice day but too short, ugh!😣

Good luck tonight, I will be watching to see what Mr. P. has up his sleeve.🤞 I hope TS shows up, Travis was at her concert Saturday night.👍

Mom and sis are hanging in there. Need to stop one day this week just depending on my knee. I already voted so will be watching the TV tomorrow like everyone else.📺

Enjoy the game, I will be cheering with you.📣 Winning hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening yes TS is at the Stadium and she looks good. Girl is wearing a pair of
thigh high boots I would like to take them off of her that is my look. I am a boot girl. 😎😘

Here is a glimpse of her walking into the Stadium. 😎

Enjoy the Game and may the best team win. 🎈💕

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten in California may this Monday be a good one for you. 🎈😎

NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY

Whether you stack it high or thin, National Sandwich Day on November 3rd recognizes one of America’s favorite lunch items.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDS

Daylight Saving Time ends on the first Sunday in November at 2:00 AM.

The practice of Daylight saving time (DST) (also known as summer time) advances clocks during the summer months. It causes us to lose an hour for one day. However, the practice allows people to get up earlier in the morning and experience more daylight in the evening. Typically, users of DST adjust clocks forward one hour near the start of spring. Then, they change them back again in the autumn.

The system has received both advocacy and criticism. Setting clocks forward benefits retail business, sports, and other activities exploiting sunlight after working hours. However, the practice causes problems for evening entertainment and other activities tied to the sun or darkness. For example, farming and fireworks shows are both affected.

Although some early proponents of DST aimed to reduce evening use of incandescent lighting (formerly a primary use of electricity, modern heating and cooling), usage patterns differ greatly. Additionally, research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.

Problems sometimes caused by DST clock shifts include:

they complicate timekeeping
can disrupt meetings, travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment,
it especially impacts sleep patterns
Software can often adjust computer clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone. Programming is particularly problematic when various jurisdictions change the dates and timings of DST changes.

NATIONAL HOUSEWIFE’S DAY

National Housewife’s Day sets aside November 3rd to recognize the millions of hardworking housewives. The day honors the stay-at-home moms who take care of the children and the home. It’s a 24/7 job that sometimes does not get the thank you that is much deserved.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community. 😎🎈

Coming at ya soon. 😎

@loaf,

@xango,

Good Morning in Florida enjoy this Fall Sunday with hubby. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good morning on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie this change of time is affecting
me already. I do not like it and soon it will be darker in the early evenings. I hope the
cats will be alright.

Oodie I read your post from late last night seems your hands are full. I bet your husband
was hungry due to his glucose being down. So glad you visit on the regular to make sure
all is well and I did find some Dragon Fruit. 💕

I hope you are covered with your insurance I am hearing nightmares online and media
about what is happening in Florida with Insurance and all the storms.

If you are watching the news and then some this will be an interesting week for sure.

I see you are on KP I hope this is the last storm of the year. Oodie you are a good wife. 💕😎
I just wanted you to know that.

Oodie, on our trip I bought dragon fruit twice. Now my hubs likes it too!

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈I am not liking this change this morning I am sure
I will get use to it. I did not sleep well and it is what it is. Sigh…

Oz is raining and that is fine with me. 💕😎 One of the cats came to ear this morning and he
was soaking wet. I felt so bad for him. I made sure to give him extra food.

I am making some Chili today and I have Kosher Hot Dogs in case we want Chili Dogs
later. 💕

Taci if you see this along the way just smile. LOL!

Hey how were the people on your trip? Taci you seem to have had the time of your
life. 🎈😎

Happy Trails To You. 😎🎶

Sheba, it seems most people do not want the time to change, and for some it’s pretty rough.
I heard we (CA) voted on this in the past and it was approved but never put into action.
Hope you and Poppy enjoyed your walks and that Poppy can keep up with you. 🙂
Hiked yesterday and today at my local favorite spot and I was worried about critters. Luckily, I didn’t see any and tried to go at a time when others would be out.
Would love to hear more about all your interesting neighbors.
We found the people all along the trip wonderful. We met Canadians who had moved to Portugal and some who were vacationing there. We also spoke to some N CA’s who were headed to Morocco next. The phone translator helped with locals who didn’t speak English, and we of course didn’t speak their languages. Mostly it helped in the grocery stores. It seemed that the younger people spoke more English in most places. We saw two Plays on the trip. One is a tradition for us now and the other was towards the end of our trip.. Phantom is in Lisbon, and sold out. We managed to find 2 tickets and it was in English.

@taci,

Good evening when I talk to my friend in Palm Springs he always tell me that the Canadians
have the these large mansions near him and only come in the winter. I think they like
warm weather I love Canada I have been there it was summer but such a beautiful place.

Glad you saw a play in English now that is one heck of a trip to do all that in one trip.
Taci you are very fit and all that hiking certainly paid off while touring. 😎

I can see you and hubby getting ready to take your next trip. I still want to hear about
some of the food and the train rides. Europe has very good trains.

Oz is raining as I type and we need this rain and it will rain all day. I am going back and forth
feeding the cats I’ve never seen them eat so much. I do not give them cheap food either I
don’t know if they would know the difference but one is very particular. LOL!

I bet your son was happy to see you both safely home. 😎💕

@shoelady60,

Good morning in the ‘burgh. 💕🎈😎 Lady congrats on your Hockey Team winning. 💕
Looks like they are on a good winning streak. 🎈😎💕

I feel a little off today due to the time change I don’t know why this is affecting me.
My husband is feeling it too. We have steady rain everything is wet so no leaves today.

I am going to do as little as possible. 😎

Hey take it easy on that knee. I would enjoy the day.

Sending dry hugs to you and Jake. 💕😘Congrats again on the Win.

@sheba2011

Awww, the critters and cats you posted are so cute!🤗 I feel just like you do today and had a terrible night’s sleep. You are not alone.

Thanks for the shoutout, it never seems easy. You know I will be watching tomorrow night.🏈 Kind of miss when they don’t play on Sunday.🙄 Making baked pork chops for dinner, one of my husband’s favorites. There will be leftovers for tomorrow, yay!

Hope your rain stops and the cats dry out. BTW, how is your cousin (I think) doing from the horrible accident last year? Wishing her the best.💗 Sunday hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening thank you for thinking of my cousin she is doing the best she can.
Our parents are siblings and the Aunt who was sleep in bed is her Aunt too.
So much has happened I am going to have write them down. So far we all still
standing. 😎

We did lose a relative a couple weeks ago from cancer so we all dealing with that.
I keep things to myself and keep it moving.

The Game should be an interesting one tomorrow. I think that is all I will say.

I hope TS will be here it’s always nice to see her. 😎

We are raining as I speak and it will last all night. I have no problem with that.

Sweet Dreams. 😎😘

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten in California wishing you a very nice Fall Sunday. 🎈😎

I love this. 💕😘😎

Colors Of The Wind
Song by Vanessa Williams

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
