NATIONAL NOTHING DAY

Each year on January 16th, people across the nation recognize National Nothing Day.

The observance was created as a day to provide Americans with one National Day when they can just sit without celebrating, observing or honoring anything. (National Day Calendar only reports the Days, sometimes they may contradict themselves.)

NATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM DAY

Each year, National Religious Freedom Day commemorates the day the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was signed on January 16, 1786. Each year, by Presidential Proclamation, January 16th is declared Religious Freedom Day.

NATIONAL WITHOUT A SCALPEL DAY

Each year on National Without a Scalpel Day January 16th recognizes the opportunities to treat disease without a scalpel. On this day in 1964, pioneering physician Charles Dotter performed the first angioplasty. The ground-breaking procedure to open a blocked blood vessel took place in Portland, Oregon. Not only did the angioplasty allow the patient to avoid leg amputation surgery, but she left the hospital days later with only a Band-Aid.

NATIONAL FIG NEWTON DAY

National Fig Newton Day on January 16th annually recognizes a tasty pastry enjoyed across the country.

A Nabisco’s trademarked version of the fig roll, Newtons are a pastry filled with fig paste. Fig Newtons have an unusual and characteristic shape that has been adopted by many competitors, including generic fig bars.

Up until the 19th century, many physicians believed most illnesses were related to digestion problems. As a remedy, they recommended a daily intake of biscuits and fruit. Fig rolls served as an ideal solution to their advice, which remained a locally produced handmade product.

In 1891, Philadelphia baker and fig-lover Charles Roser invented and patented the machine, which inserted fig paste into a thick pastry dough. The Cambridgeport, MA-based Kennedy Biscuit Company then purchased Roser’s recipe. They began mass production after purchasing the recipe. In 1891, they produced the first Fig Newtons baked at the F.A. Kennedy Steam Bakery. The company named the pastries after the town of Newton, Massachusetts.

After recently becoming associated, the Kennedy Biscuit Company and the New York Biscuit company merged to form Nabisco. The new company trademarked the fig rolls as Fig Newtons.

GET TO KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS DAY

Get to Know Your Customers Day reminds businesses to reach out to patrons and get to know them better. The day is observed annually on the third Thursday of each quarter (January, April, July, October).

I know your husband was glad to see you and I hope he was able to eat his treat. 🎈😎💕

Oodie, Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!!!

@sheba2011

I was with hubby most of the day and I have to admit it was fun and hilarious. Unfortunately, I didn’t see hubby yesterday. As I was leaving the house the left leg gave way and thank goodness for the handrail. It saved me from a terrible fall. After that, I decided home was the best idea. I phoned the Rehab and discovered hubby’s favorite aide was there and I left a message that I would not be there. I was still having some problems today, but thankfully, I could walk. It did rain yesterday and again this morning. Not sure about tomorrow’s forecast, but assume we will be in the 70s. Next chance for rain is Sunday and then the temps will plummet. Tomorrow will be a day for laundry. I finally found the winter wear and that will be the wash that needs to get done first. These are the sweaters and sweatshirts that I so desperately need for the next few weeks. Yes, I do have other sweaters and sweatshirts. These are the heavy duty ones.

My big day was today. I did bring the treats and he loved them. I had purchased a jar of herring and proceeded to puree it. Unfortunately, I could not indulge because the brine is loaded with sulfites. I did try a very small teaspoon and started to choke. I decided to puree a tiny bit and that turned out to be the best thing I could have done. Though hubby loved it and wanted more, he also started coughing. I immediately stashed it away. Luckily the coughing didn’t last long. I also didn’t want the RNs and the Aides yelling at me again and sending hubby off to the hospital. For now, we will both stay away from the herring. However, I did bring a lobster cake from the Farmer’s Market and he enjoyed it. I heated it in the microwave and was surprised that it was still hot to the touch an hour later at the Rehab. He loved it. The Farmer’s Market has Corvina and Halibut on sale this week. I will definitely be adding these to the list for hubby. The Corvina is one of my favorites and is $4.99/lb. The halibut is two for $8.
Since my stove top is useless will make these in the Air fryer. .I do not bake fish in the oven. Rather, use the stove top so they are not over cooked. If they are frozen the day they are caught, the taste is sweet and fresh.

Glad your SIL was able to withstand the chemo this week. I hope those cancer cells are becoming smaller and when things are all said and done she will be in remission. She is a brave and wonderful person. So important for the family to surround her with love.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I am still waiting to hear from my niece in those parts. 💕😘

Oz is alright today at least we have the sun and then just days later we will be in the minuses.

Sheesh! What a winter. 😎💕

The family had fun in Winter Park skiing Colorado has really great places to do that.
I hope your son can still do his thing on the Snow Board and the Fire has not affected
that area.

I think a new Matlock is on with Kathy Bates tonight. I enjoy her acting.

Hey here is to Happy Trails on your hike please be careful. 😎🎈

Sheba, You’ll probably get a call from your niece this weekend.
It’s been dry and cool and sunny.
If you have to have all that cold, it’s nice you have a big house to roam around.
I don’t know if Matlock started a Season 2 yet. Maybe it is a rerun then tonight?
Today, I was a mopping Queen.

Fun, all those family members Ski and enjoy the outdoors.
I like my feet planted on the ground. When I used to ski; I was afraid. Mostly of the heights and chairlifts. I don’t mind the downhill part. After a few times left dangling in the air from a very high lift, in CA, decided no more for me. 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. I know this is a somber week for you.
How is your husband healing? I am just glad he will be alright.

SIL is resting after a trying day with Chemo I am so tired of cancer.
Lady how is your niece doing after the New Orleans tragedy?
I hope she is able to just keep moving.

Wishing you a day of peace.

Sending warm peaceful hugs to you and Jake. 💕😘

@sheba2011

Right now we are in the middle of a snow storm, so tired of looking at white outside. We’ve had more snow already than the last four winters.🌨❄ The snow blower will be running tomorrow morning. Even colder next week.🥶

Hubs is doing okay, he took the bandages off this morning. He needs to keep the incisions lubricated for the next two weeks with vaseline. He has a slight black eye but that was expected. Hope that’s it for the skin cancer. Thank you for caring.🥰

I’m getting anxious for the game Saturday, seems like forever since they played. Sending winning vibes your way.👍✨ My niece is fine, back at school after the holiday break. I think they all are disappointed the football team lost.

Hope you have a relaxing evening. Lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Shoelady, Best wishes for your husband to have a speedy recovery.
Glad he is post op and recuperating.

@shoelady60,

Good evening we will get colder weather next week. I am prepared.

I hope your husband is healing nicely. I know you are taking good care of him.

Wishing you a warm night with good sleep. 💕😘

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten in California may this be a blessed day for you. 💕🎈😎

Keep it warm. 😎

Wishing you a great day in Ohio. 😎🎈

@xango,

Good day in warmer Florida. 🎈😎Very busy day for me and a cold one too.

Hey enjoy your fresh coffee and rolls I wish I could fly in and share a cup with you.

@sheba2011 🌹

Hello Sheba 🌹🌹 I hope you are staying warm.
Our temperature is the normal Florida Winter. Anywhere between high 50’s to 70’s during the day to mid-40’s at night. Saturday we are going to be in hight 70’s. We need rain, hasn’t rain in a long time.
I received some fresh country egg recently. Made pasta sheets for lasagna and used the egg whites and made some meringue. The other day I made a bunch of crumpets. It’s the easiest thing to make and so delicious. I made enough for the freezer too 😋.
Family in Brazil are doing well. All are healing and getting better. Summer is going strong and soon will be time for Carnaval.
I don’t know if one of my niece who always participate in a parade, will do that this year. In Brazil things come to a halt during Carnaval.

Stay warm and well Stay 🌹🌹

@xango,

Good evening your food sounds so good. Hubby has a great wife. I want to taste your
Pasta. 💕😎

My niece who travels everywhere went to Carnaval in New Orleans and it was wild.
Niece sent me pics everyone was having a great time.

Oz is frozen all the animals are fed. I am a little tired due to running in and out all day.

Take care of yourself and enjoy your cooking. I am available for taste testing. 🎈💕😘

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈💕Oodie I hope this is a good day for you.
I did respond to your post from earlier. I am multi-tasking today.

We had no collection service last week so the City said we can double up. I am putting
everything to the curb for tomorrow. 🎈😎

I hope your husband enjoy the goodies you are bringing him and your favorite Aide
has returned or you know when he may do it. Oodie best to play it safe.

Be safe and careful out there today. 🎈😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I hope your area are not getting any smoke from the fires.
I am waiting on my niece to call me she is a professor in a College and is teaching class.

Today my SIL is having her intense Chemotherapy all the family in GA have all hands
on deck. I am so glad she is receiving excellent care. 💕

Oz is below freezing well it’s certainly is winter.

Happy warm trails to you just not too warm. 😘🎈😎

Sheba, Your SIL sounds like she has lots of love and support. That’s sure to help her. Hope she is doing ok after all that chemo.
The fire app on my phone beeped (notifications) a few times today. Apparently there was a small fire in my City but I think all is ok by now. Nothing major. I’m just on the look out.
Thanks for the tips about the Kathy Bates movies. I plan to look up the Delores Claiborne movie soon.
Stay warm. Let me know if all was ok with your niece’s area in CA.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈😘Lady how is your husband doing today?
I hope everything turned out fine. I know he will cover up a bit in the future.

I do wear hats in the summer and especially in the winter.

I know this week has been something else. Prayers for your friends.
I hope your mother and sister are having a great time on their Cruise. 🎈😎

I am thinking of both you and your husband today. 😘😎

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😘💕Lady be well and try to rest if you can.

@sheba2011

Another goofy day with interruptions and things taking forever to get done.😖 No rest for me until maybe the weekend.

Cold and more snow everyday until Sunday. This is getting old and it will be even colder next week with lows below zero.🥶 Trying to help hubs out and doing the back deck and every morning I get up and it’s covered again.

Enough complaining – keeping fingers crossed for your SIL.🤞🙏 Praying it gets a little easier.

Thanks for your wishes and thinking of me. Never-ending hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening what a long day. SIL is doing fine and is home in bed.

I am so glad Patrick and Brittany had their baby they are such a beautiful family. 💕🎈

Goodnight sweet dreams. 😎

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a safe Wednesday. 😎🎈

Let It Go
Song by Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

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?

@loaf,

Have a wonderful day in Ohio. Thinking of you. 🎈😎💕

@xango,

Good day in Florida you are much warmer than OZ. 😎🎈 Enjoy your coffee and fresh rolls.
May this day find you doing well I always like to say that because I really mean it. 🎈💕

Enjoy the season. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I hope the Doctor will approve solid food
for your husband. I hope you can add safe solid food to keep the shakes away.

Oodie do they check his sugar levels? I would ask because if his sugars are low that is
a concern and part of their job in his health care.

I can’t stress again how I hope you can bring him home. 🎈😎

Glad you are moving just fine let me know how things go today. 😎

Oz is frozen.

@sheba2011

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.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon good to see you and glad you are taking care of yourself.

Your husband should love the treats you are bringing. 💕😎

Oodie that is massive work the wife had for her husband to come home.
There is so many disasters going on good craftsmen will be hard to find a lot
of rebuilding is going on everywhere.

Watch those steps I wish you had mine which is one very wide step I have two huge
plants on each side. This is where all the cats come to eat. My security camera can see
everything in every directions.

The weather is still frozen here in OZ. I think it’s called winter. LOL!

Oodie take care of yourself I hope your favorite Aide returns soon.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈Taci my niece landed in SD at 2:28 a.m. she is fine
for now and safe. I told her to call me later when she is awake. 😘😎😎💕

Dare I say it was a long trip from GA to S. California at least the plane did not have any
problems. Niece enjoy movies all the way home. 💕😎

I am sure she will be contacting all her friends and such later today.

Taci thank you so much for being here. 😎😘🎈

Enjoy the beautiful trails. 😎💕🎈

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!

@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. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I know you are attending funeral services for your friends.
Just know I am thinking of you. 🎈💕😎God Speed.

I am multi-tasking today always something to do in OZ.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 💕😘

Be well my friend hang in there.

@sheba2011

Cold, cold cold today and now it is snowing, tired of saying that!🥶❄ This feels like a strange week to me, so many things going on. Hubs had skin cancer surgery today on his temple and one ear. I know this is from too many beach vacations and too many rounds of golf. And he is not a hat wearer. He should be fine but right now he looks like he is bandaged from a fight.🤕

Prayers for your SIL, I think this is the week she has her treatment.🙏👼

Congrats to Pat and Brittany on their new daughter!👶 She couldn’t have timed that any better, right before their playoffs start.👏

Stay well, stay warm, love and hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@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. 😘💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten all the best and be safe. 💕🎈

Rhiannon
Song by Fleetwood Mac

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you’ve never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon)
Taken by taken by the sky
(ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(ah-ah)
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love’s a state of mind

Dreams
Song by Fleetwood Mac

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It’s only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully
To the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Oh, thunder only happens when it’s rainin’
Players only love you when they’re playin’
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know
You’ll know
Now here I go again
I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It’s only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you’d like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Ooh, what you lost
Thunder only happens when it’s rainin’
Players only love you when they’re playin’
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know
Oh, thunder only happens when it’s rainin’
Players only love you when they’re playin’
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know
You’ll know
You will know
Oh, you’ll know

NATIONAL PEACH MELBA DAY

Another dessert brought to us by an internationally famous chef, National Peach Melba Day offers a refreshing celebration on January 13th each year.

French chef Auguste Escoffier invented the elegant dessert back in 1892 or 1893, depending on the source. He created the dessert with peaches, vanilla ice cream, and raspberry sauce while employed at the Savoy Hotel, London. The dessert honored Australian soprano, Nellie Melba. The chef was known for naming his creations after famous people. Three such recipes are celebrated on the calendar including National Melba Toast Day onMarch 23rd.

Nellie Melba was born Hellen Porter Mitchell. She took the stage name Melba in honor of her hometown of Melbourne. Her achievements as an opera singer took her on tour worldwide. Later, she earned the title of Dame Grand Cross of the British Empire in 1927.

Chef Escoffier originally called the dessert “Pecheau Cygne” or “Peach Swan” and presented it in a swan-shaped ice sculpture and topped with spun sugar.

Good morning in Ohio missing you. Be well my friend. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good day in warm Florida. 😎🎈Oz is below freezing again.

Xango all the cats came and I am so grateful. 💕😎 I love the bunnies coming so
early well for OZ it is way too early. I keep baby carrots for my bunnies who always
come in the spring.

Thank you for posting and enjoy this cold Monday Morning. 🎈

How is the Aunt who had the fall? I hope she is healing well.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I am glad you got to see your husband.
I don’t like the shaking that does not sound normal. I wonder what that is maybe he
was chilly. Oodie you missing personal things like blankets you brought from home is
concerning.

If the Aid was off it could be the flu. This is flu season I hope they are alright and back
soon healthy.

I would miss both of your homes in the North anytime of year. I love Cape Cod and CT. 💕🎈

Oodie please let me know what is going on with hubby. Take your time with everything that
has to do with housework. I hope all the paper work turned out alright.

Oz is below freezing and I have one of the fireplaces on and the heat. 💕😎

I wish you could take your husband a cupcake. I know rules are rules.
How about he comes home. 💕🎈😎

@sheba2011

I had quite a conversation with the Speech Therapist.. He will not be trying anything new right a way. His comment was that hubby still gets a coughing fit and the food is better for him pureed. However, I did mention that hubby does have allergies and was on sinus meds prior to being at the rehab. He claimed the cough was not an allergy. I asked that he try an over the counter sinus med and gave him the name of a couple that I take. I finally got him to say he will try it if the doctor OKs it. I contacted the doctor and he said by all means. He will also ask the Speech Therapist to try regular food. Looks like this war may almost be over.

I figured out why hubby’s hands were trembling and will be speaking to the business manager and social worker. Hubby skipped breakfast and did not eat lunch because he was asleep. Seems the aids forgot to let the food stay until later in the day. Hubby had to be missing protein and other important areas. His body was craving food and I had nothing to give him. I mentioned this to the speech therapist that he often becomes hungry while I’m there. He said he would see what he could do on that score. There was nothing of a snack tonight. I will be sneaking something tomorrow. Even the roommate is complaining. The food is good, but not enough to keep the hunger pains away during the evening. I may also stop at Culver’s for one of their custards.

Today was on the cool side even though the temp reached 70 degrees. As I was leaving to visit hubby, the wind was picking up and dark clouds were emerging. When I left, the rain was doing a good dance. It actually sounded like sleet on the windshield but the temps were now in the low 60s. The plants will be happy, but that happiness will only last a short couple of hours. Tomorrow the temps will be in the 60s and 50s at night. The weekend coming up will be in the mid 70s. Come a week from now, back to the realization that it is winter. I cannot complain. At least for now, the cooler temps will keep those hurricanes away…I hope.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California I am so glad you and your family are safe. 😎🎈😘
Taci thank you for your nice post on the HD Thread. I appreciate it so much I am glad
someone enjoy it. 💕😎

Niece leaves GA today for S. California I don’t know what she will find there. Niece have
business and friends in the areas affected.

I will be on pins and needles waiting to hear from her.

I just home smoke does not affect your area. California like Texas is a whole other Country.

Enjoy the Trails take it all in. 😎💕🎈

Sheba, We have only Fair air quality here which is a long way South of these fires.
CA is a different place and lets hope people finally change things. When I lived in the LA area in the 80’s and my parents visited, they would say it felt like a different country. My guess is it wasn’t a compliment. 🙂 I didn’t expect to stay just in CA, was here to get my career going and work experience since back then there were lots of jobs. It was a fun time for me.
Hope your niece finds all ok back in CA. Hopefully she has spoken with her friends and has some information about it, but best to see for yourself.
YW about the Heidi thread. It wasn’t necessary for that person to post like that and I loved your response and hope to use it in the future (if you don’t mind).
Have a good evening!

@taci,

Good evening I love you too. 😎💕😘Niece is in the Air as I type this post.
I think she is kicking back watching a movie very chilled. 😎😘I told her to
let me and my sister her mother know when she lands lord knows what she
will find.

Niece got a text from California saying the air is not good. I will find out ce
the eagle has landed.

Taci thank you for all your support over the years. I think this is my 11th year of doing this
thread. 💕🎈 The official birthday is in March.

I am playing some Stevie Nicks I love her voice I need to be calm now. Hey HSN has the CD
138-1492
Fleetwood Mac: Rumours – CD

This is the moon tonight it is stunning and beautiful. 😎💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈💕The sniffles are almost over. I was out of it after feeding
the cats I took some medicine and just drifted off to sleep for once in a long time. 😎💕

My head was hurting and blowing my nose made it sore to the touch. I wear a 100% wool
coat that people always admire it is a beautiful shade of Green. 😎

Oz is in the teens today and we had snow yesterday I hope we are done but not yet.

So glad your mom and sister got away. 😘🎈I hope they have the time of their lives.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😘😎Please keep safe and warm.
Oz also have a layer of ice beneath the snow.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten please be safe. 🎈💕

NATIONAL CURRIED CHICKEN DAY

Each year on January 12th, curried chicken lovers enthusiastically celebrate National Curried Chicken Day. They fill their dishes with a variety of flavorful spices and serve them to their friends and family.

NATIONAL PHARMACIST DAY

National Pharmacist Day on January 12th annually recognizes and honors all pharmacists across the nation.

The role of pharmacists has shifted over the years. Where once they served as the classical “lick, stick and pour” dispensary, they now serve as an integrated member of the health care team. Pharmacists are often directly involved in patient care and play a vital role in a patient’s recovery.

Historically, pharmacists primarily checked and distributed drugs to doctors for patient prescribed medication. In modern times, pharmacists advise patients and health care providers on the selection, dosages, interactions, and side effects of prescriptions. Additionally, their role includes being a learned intermediary between a prescriber and a patient. By monitoring the health and progress of patients, pharmacists can then ensure the safe and effective use of medication.

Pharmacists work long hours, usually standing the entire time. Along with dispensing pills and providing advice on medications, pharmacists also administer immunizations. Pharmacists who conduct research discover and test new

KISS A GINGER DAY

On January 12th, everyone is encouraged to find their favorite redhead and give them a peck on Kiss a Ginger Day.

Created to support a more positive spin than its counterpart, Kiss a Ginger Day brings sweet kisses to redheads who may have once been teased for their hair color.

The red hair gene is recessive and requires two copies for it to present itself. Even then, there is no guarantee it will. If both parents have the gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a redheaded child. Most natural-born redheads (yes, some of us like the bottle) have brown eyes, followed by green or hazel. Coming in at 1% of the world’s population, the blue-eyed ginger is the rarest kind. So if you give one of these ginger’s a kiss, consider yourself lucky.

NATIONAL MARZIPAN DAY

Join millions of people across the nation on January 12th as they participate in the annual National Marzipan Day. On January 12th, the celebration kicks off with creatively formed confections that delight the eyes and mouth!

@loaf,

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida have a safe and wonderful Sunday with hubby and your yummy
food. 💕😎

@sheba2011

Good Sunday to you,🌹 I hope you are staying warm and well.
It’s a sunny day here but we are staying in the low sixties all this coming week and mostly forties at night.
Last night the Moon looked huge and beautiful. And I could see three large stars, I
think they are planets.
I just finished feeding the bunnies in the backyard. There are two of them that comes often.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Sheba 🌹🌹🌹 Take care ❤️

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I hope your legs are not a problem today.
The weather can do strange things to the body. I hope you can visit your husband today
and the weather is much better. 💕🎈

Drive safe and enjoy the day Oodie. OZ is frozen. 😎

@sheba2011

I was able to see hubby today. Guess we are both complaining on things that hurt. Hubby had problems with his hands and arms. I am hoping it is weather related, though they shook. It’s the same for me with the legs. Go to do a knee bend and the entire leg shakes. Tomorrow we will be in the 70s for a short while. Another cold front will be approaching. Funny, today was the first time I was comfortable during the visit with hubby. Had on double layers and I was fine until, guess what, they turned the heat on…..He is now missing two blankets. The Sherpa and the one I leant him from the house. Never a dull moment.

I have no idea what happened to our favorite aide. He was a no show for the weekend. We are all hoping he is OK. Well, this week he works three days and has the weekend off. Not sure what is going on. I hope it was a mini vacation.

Hubby was hungry tonight. Normally I have something, but today I was there empty handed. No snacks from any of the aides. I thought of stopping at Culver’s tomorrow. Their fish sandwich is good and so is there chili. However, I did ask, and both are emphatic no can do. So sad because the fish is easy to chew and swallow and the chili is something he loves. I think it is time for a bit of a shake up. Need to make phone calls anyway, so will dial an extra number or two. The reason his hands are shaking is probably due to a lack of vitamins and good food. That includes fresh fruit. I no longer can bring dragon fruit or cut up honeydew. Bananas is also on the no list. Even baked potatoes. Looks like tomorrow my fun will begin.

I do miss our homes up North. Would love to be back there just to check on things. If I leave, have no idea how hubby will be, thus the reason for not traveling. I really miss the change of seasons. Hearing about your snowfall is when I wish I could be in my little office watching the snow fall from the windows. It seems like it’s only a dream nowadays. But then again, there is the flip side of the coin when we wish for warmer days. Just be careful what you wish for.

Have a great evening and enjoy the moonlit sky. Be happy and above all be safe.

@taci,

Good day in S. California I hope those winds don’t blow your way. Taci yeah 200 passengers
were let off the Plane in GA. it seems to be an engine problem and during a snow storm.

My niece has to take that same airline to get back to your area. 😎💕

The family were all staying safe. This was a mess because they don’t get much snow
in GA.

Enjoy the day and the trails. 💕😎

Sheba, I know it’s inconvenient to deplane and possibly miss any connections, but I’m glad they did if safety was a concern. My son was delayed in Chicago but somehow it all worked out with other planes being delayed, so he made his connecting flights. Is your niece freezing in GA after having lived in the So. CA warm weather?
I’ve been watching the news about the fires and learning about how the water tanks and pumps work etc.. and doing laundry.
Hope it isn’t too cold and icy in Oz.
I’m going to try and find a Matlock to watch later.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I hope all is well in your part of the world.
Oz is frozen and it’s winter. LOL! 😎🎈

I hope your mom and sister made it and are enjoying their Cruise. 🎈😎💕

Sending warm and gentle hugs to you and Jake. 💕😘🎈

@sheba2011

Glad to get this weekend over, two days of funeral homes.

Weather was a little better, tomorrow will be 33 and that is the warmest until next weekend. Tuesday the high will be 16.🥶 Not sure about any more snow but we had enough last week for me.❄ We’ve already have more snow than the entire winter last year. Mom and sis leave tomorrow and I’m sure they’re glad to get out of the ‘burgh.

Hope you are feeling better, lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good day in California Kitten I hope you and your family are safe. 😘

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida. 😎🎈Xango we are frozen here in OZ. All my cats came to eat and I
slept good for the first time in days. 😎

Enjoy your day with hubby and stay safe.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie how are you doing? I am getting a bit
concerned. If you are super busy then post when you can. I hope you are not having any
food issues.

Hang in there my friend. 😘💕

Oz is very cold but we are alright. 😎We have more snow tomorrow.

@sheba2011

I am OK for now. Just having the new problem with the legs, or should I say the new, usual problem. It was nice this morning with clouds and some showers, but of course, that did not help the situation. The leg pain I have been experiencing is definitely the weather change. I was fine yesterday with the temps in the low 70s. But, things changed when I was getting ready to leave the rehab. Poor hubby, how he wanted me to stay the night. But, of course, that was impossible. Rules are rules.

I just made myself a bowl of soup with a cheese sandwich. I used the microwave and it came out OK. Another cold front is approaching. I think I just read where there will be another front on Monday. But, next weekend the temps may be back to the 70s. It is cooler where xango is.

Stay warm. The heat is on here also. Stay safe.

@oodiebom,

We are about to get more snow in about an hour. I am watching each cat eat in the security
camara. All of them made it through the worse of the weather. I think they each wanted to
know if I was still here. I leave a light on porch so they can see there is food. 💕

I think I will watch a bit of the History Channel I can’t take anymore of the Fires just too
sad. All people were affected. Prayers to all those families.

I hope your legs feel better soon I would just eat my meal and rest. I have the sniffles
from going out feeding the cats. I don’t care I will be just fine.

Good night for reading a good book. 💕😎 I will be so glad when your husband comes
home.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎💕🎈My niece is still in GA but will be heading back your
way next week. The airport is Atlanta had to let 200 people off in the middle of a snow storm.
This while still on the runway what a sight.

I hope she can make it home safe.

Hubby is out with Poppy I am thankful for that. My baby do not like the snow. I put his little
shoes on. LOL!

Taci happy and safe trails. 😎

Sheba, what? Are you saying that 200 people had to deplane due to a snow storm? Crazy.
Best to be safe though.
Guessing your niece probably has to get back to work. We are just dry, and windy.
My computer issue is back again but I’m still hoping it lasts a while longer.
Our Oven went out. Shoelady mentioned her refrigerator went out on Christmas, yikes.
Ours was about a week ago and you know I don’t use it a lot. haha. We are waiting for a part and hubs will try that before we decide if we need a new one. It’s not that old, so hopefully it can be repaired.
You mentioned the cats seeing your light go on so they know to come for food. Two days ago we were by the Airport and a car pulled off on a road that was sealed off and it was dark. Anyways, I saw about 4-6 cats run up to the car. I am hoping the person feeds them. Glad it’s not as cold here for them.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. We are cold and more snow on the way.

Lady wishing you are warm day to just do what you want to. 😎🎈

I hope your mother and sister got off to a good start on their Cruise. 🎈😎

Hey at least they will be warm.

I am still a bit under the weather so grilled cheese and soup for me.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😎🎈😘

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten please be safe. 😎

Natalie Cole Lyrics
“Someone That I Used To Love”

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if I’m ever the least unsure, I always remind myself
Though you’re someone in this world that I’ll always choose to love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

As for me it’s getting down to the last unspoken part
When you must begin to ease the pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care if I have to lose your love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

Wish it was enough for you
All the love I had to give
I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you’ll never know how much I tried, I really tried

And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won’t find me being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give but you just refused my love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you’ll never know how much I tried, I really tried

When I wake up each morning trying to find myself
And if I’m ever the least unsure, I always remind myself
Though you’re someone in this world that I’ll always choose to love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

Though you’re someone in this world that I’ll always choose to love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love
From now on you’re only someone that I used to love

Barbra Streisand Lyrics
“The Nearness Of You”

It’s not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it’s just the nearness of you

Isn’t your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no, it’s just the nearness of you

When I’m in your arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wondrous dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Taci so sad what is happening in parts of LA.
I have to turn the Telly off just too compose myself.

I pray this fire ends and is under control soon.

On this cold and dreary day I am glad you can plant flowers. This warms my heart. 💕😎

Happy and safe trails. 💕🎈

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. Lady in addition to Jack losing his home Mandy Moore
has lost her home too. This is a bit much I can’t look anymore.

LA looks like a war zone this is so sad. Prayers to all affected.

This is all you can do when you are snowed in. OZ got hit last night again.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😘😎💕

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. After your comment on Milo yesterday, I did find a video of him talking in front of where his house burned down. Hard to watch.😥

Sounds like you are snowed in.🌨 We are getting more tonight. Even the south is getting hit, saw news on Dallas and Nashville. Talked to my SIL in Atlanta yesterday and they were supposed to get snow today along with closing schools and businesses. Summer we had extreme heat, now extreme cold. Pretty soon we will only have two seasons.

Picked up some fried chicken at the grocery store this morning🍗 and made a little potato salad so that’s dinner. Sounds like a summer picnic, lol! Here’s to above freezing temps, I think we have one day in the next week.🥶 Love and hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I have a terrible cold. My nose is so sore. I know going in and out looking
for the cats and everyone came to eat. 💕

I have to take care of them they have no one. I love what I do for them.

Hey enjoy your evening I have the Telly off the news. I watched the Wizard of OZ on TCM. 😎

Oz is frozen.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and may you be safe and sound Kitten. 💕😎

Duran Duran Lyrics
“A View To A Kill”

Meeting you with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill

Nightfall covers me, but you know the plans I’m making
Still overseas, could it be the whole Earth opening wide
A sacred why, a mystery gaping inside
A week is why, until we…

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

The choice for you is the view to a kill
Between the shades assassination standing still

The first crystal tears fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years to drench your skin in lover’s rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame
A chance to die, but can we…

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire

When all we see is the view to a kill
