NATIONAL HAT DAY

Hang on to your hats and celebrate in style on National Hat Day. Celebrated each year on January 15th, don your favorite fedora, cap, cloche, derby, or sunhat. Dig out your ceremonial best and tell the story behind it. Wear your warmest tuque, stocking cap, beanie, and share the name you give it. There are so many hats, fashions, and names we give them. Certainly, we could wear a hat a day and never get through them all.

My legs are still giving me problems due to the weather changes every two or three days. The pain and walking are bearable. I will be trying to get some extra steps in today. Hardest part is the climb to the front door. We have three steps to the front door. The first one is a doosy. It is the steepest of all three. After that one the steps are narrower and easier to navigate.

Hubby’s roommate finally made it home yesterday. It took his family over a year to get the house ready for him. I think he has Parkinson’s, and will need some help with cooking, cleaning and maybe showering. He has spunk and that will help him in the long run. Hubby is happy he now has the remote and can watch his channels. He was getting tired of INSP and the cowboys.

I made a stop at the Farmer’s Market. We still have Dragon Fruit and it was $1.99/lb. I purchased a good one. I had a great time shopping and then stopping at home to put some food into the freezer. Today I will bring hubby a taste of a lobster cake. It is already pureed and is very tasty. It will make a great appetizer. I also purchased crab cakes. That will be for another day. I was about to purchase the strawberry cheesecake, which is also pureed, until I saw the date. Decided it wasn’t worth $1 iff, I don’t dare tell you the date was January 4th. I also have a nice surprise for hubby. I found herring in a jar which I will puree and bring with me either tomorrow or Friday. It’s too bad that I cannot enjoy the herring. This one is loaded with sulfites.

Our wonderful aide has been MIA for a week now. We are all hoping he is OK.. No one has heard anything. I do have a way to reach out, but do not want to cause any problems. Hubby misses him and the jokes.

It’s now off to the doldrums of KP. I had a relaxing week. Today I will try to make up for loss time. Take care. Try to stay warm and definitely watch where you are walking. Be safe.

@shoelady60,

Good evening the week indeed feel strange. I am sorry about your husband as long as he
is alright is all that matters. Take good care of him and you.

You have a good memory yeah tomorrow is the day for that awful Chemo for SIL the family
is standing strong. 💕 Today is another SIL birthday so we have been having fun with that.
Colorado has snow but most of the family went to Winter Park to ski. 😎

Hey take it easy this too shall pass. 😘💕

@taci,

Good evening I am a Kathy Bates fan since she did Misery with James Caan.
Check out Delores Clairborne New England never looked better. My other favorite
is Fried Green Tomatoes. I know she lost weight and that could be because of her
cancer I am glad she beat it. I did see Harry’s Law and Matlock is a bit different I have
not missed a episode. I like shows that keep me guessing. 😎💕

Niece will check in some time tonight she is finding things out and I have not heard
her tonight I did this afternoon. I will let you know what she finds out.

Yeah keep those doors and windows closed the winds will pick up again tomorrow
according to the media. Prayers for all those directly affected.

Oz is frozen and I am so over winter. 😎

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?
Song by Agatha Lee Monn, Katie Lopez, and Kristen Bell

… Elsa?
… Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on let’s go and play
I never see you any more
Come out the door
It’s like you’ve gone away!
We used to be best buddies
And now we’re not
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn’t have to be a snowman
(Go away, Anna!)
Okay, bye
… Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bike around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I’ve started talking to the pictures on the walls!
Hang in there, Joan!
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
… Elsa?
Please, I know you’re in there
People are asking where you’ve been
They say, “Have courage”, and I’m trying to
I’m right out here for you
Just let me in
We only have each other
It’s just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?

Sheba, glad your niece made it back safely. Hopefully she found things safe and sound.
Planes are about the only time I watch movies.
I download an app of where fires are located and will be on the look out for anything in the area.
We have lots of dust and air quality isn’t great. I am keeping the window and doors closed.

Well, I watched Matlock on Pluto. Watched all the episodes over 2 days. : )
Yes, was up late. She looks 20 years younger than she is, wow I had no idea she was in her mid 70’s. If or when season 2 comes out I will be ready to watch it as well.

Hope you have a great evening!
