NATIONAL THESAURUS DAY

National Thesaurus Day, on January 18th, honors Peter Mark Roget, the author of Roget’s Thesaurus, who was born on this day in 1779.

In 1840, Roget retired from a successful career in medicine and spent the rest of his life working on Roget’s Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. The work was the result of decades of collecting lists of words and categorizing them, much like a scientist would collect specimens. In Roget’s case, he collected words. He first published his thesaurus in 1852. And it was more than a book of synonyms – it was a complete categorization and organization of each word by meaning.

Since then, poets and writers have used the thesaurus to help make their writing come to life. However, the thesaurus also has its detractors. Some say the thesaurus weakens language and destroys it.

Whether you are looking for a more accurate word or trying to improve your writing, the thesaurus can be your best friend. Expanding your vocabulary increases both written and spoken communication skills, creative writing abilities, and can be helpful in advancing your career.

NATIONAL MICHIGAN DAY

On January 18, National Michigan Day recognizes the Great Lake State.

NATIONAL WINNIE THE POOH DAY

National Winnie the Pooh Day on January 18th commemorates author A.A. Milne’s birthday in 1882. He brought the adorable, honey-loving bear to life in his stories, which also featured his son, Christopher Robin.

NATIONAL USE YOUR GIFT CARD DAY

National Use Your Gift Card Day reminds Americans to use the $1 billion in unused gift cards each year. On the third Saturday in January, take stock of the gift cards you received over the holidays. Then, make the most of each one of them before they’re forgotten for good!

NATIONAL PEKING DUCK DAY

National Peking Duck Day, on January 18th, recognizes the national dish of China.

This dish is considered a delicacy due to its elaborate preparation and intense flavors. Since the Yuan Dynasty, established by Kublai Khan, Peking Duck’s roots are steeped in tradition that chefs have perfected over thousands of years.

The crispy, flavorful skin is the signature element of Peking Duck.

Chefs prefer the White Beijing duck for preparing this dish. However, in the United States, the preference is for the Pekin duck. They are raised for 65 days before being brought to slaughter. First, chefs pluck the duck and pump it full of air between the skin and the meat. The meat is then covered with boiling water, skewered, and hung to dry. While drying, the duck is glazed with a sugar coating and left for 24 hours. This whole process adds to the crispness of the skin.

The duck is then roasted hanging from the center of the oven to allow the fat to drip, basting the skin as it does. When presented, the Peking duck is often sliced artfully by the chef before the diners. Traditionally served in three portions, a Peking duck meal begins with the crispy skin, which diners dip into sugar. Following the skin, the next course is composed of thin pancakes stuffed with tender duck meat, hoisin and bean sauces, and cucumbers, onions, and garlic. The final serving is a duck soup or broth.

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida Oz is around 19 degrees. Very icy out so I am being careful. 😎

We have the sun so I am so thankful for that. 🎈💕

Enjoy this long weekend with hubby.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎😘Oodie I hope you are enjoying your birthday
weekend to the fullest. 🎈💕

Enjoy your shopping and I hope hubby can have a piece of something soft and safe to eat.

Let me know how things are going for you today. Oodie you cracked me up with your
comment about Poppy yesterday I needed to laugh. 🎈😎

@sheba2011

I was able to be with hubby this evening. Yesterday I spent almost 2 hours trying to navigate 3 steps from the front door. I finally gave up and made a call to the Rehab and left word with our favorite aide. He will be back Monday and Tuesday. Today, was a better day. The steps are steep and no amount of leaning on the railing helped. The pain was, well let’s just say I can take a lot of pain, but this one I could not do a thing. To think it is all weather related.

I am glad you are having a fit of laughter. However, many years ago, when I was single and still in school, we had a poodle named Corky. He loved my dad and would follow him everywhere. One morning Dad was up early and getting ready for the day at his pharmacy. Corky followed him into the bathroom and watched dad use the toilet. He whined and whined which meant he needed to go out and so dad let him out back. The only problem is that it was not only wet out there, but it was snowing pretty hard. Corky made a mad dash back into the house. Dad thought that was the end of everything and that Corky could wait for either me or Mom to let him out. That wasn’t the case. He made a mad dash to the bathroom and made a puddle next to the toilet. He did this every time he didn’t want to go outside. He also used it when he wasn’t feeling that great. I smile every time I think of his little adventure. Best of all, an easy cleanup.

Today actually was a good day for me. Finally, no leg pain. Tomorrow?? Well, that’s to be decided. Today we were in the low 70s and right now it is 68 as I type. At least that’s what the computer states. The forecast for Sunday is mid 70s and then in the afternoon we will have some thunder and lightning and some rain which we desperately need. I have no idea what I will feel. Suffice to say that our temps from the mid 70s will go down to the upper 30s to low 40s. Not sure if we will see 60s during the week since another cold front will be here on Tuesday. We will not see 70s until next weekend and that will be short lived as well. I cannot complain. The water temps are low which means no hurricanes. Strong winds, maybe.

The cakes yesterday were fantastic. Best of all, I didn’t gain any weight…..😀🍾🎁🍧🎹🎵🎭birthday🎭 think I had a slice from everyone. No favorites. They were all different so could not pick one.

Have a great evening and hope the kitties use their shed during the cold spell. Again, thank you for the birthday wishes and treats. It’s so much fun to sit back and enjoy the moments.

@oodiebom 🎂🎂🍰🍰🍰🧁🧁🧁

Happy belated birthday.🎂🎂🎂🎂 Here’s to many more filled with health and happiness.
I am glad you had a good day with your husband and celebrated your big day.

I am a bit concern about your legs, and the pain you are experiencing. I can understand the cold weather upon Florida. One day it’s warm/hot, and the next day is cold. Along with the cold you experience at the rehab too.
As I read about cold affecting the body, it mentions heat therapy. I am pretty sure you most likely already have a heat pad on your legs. But I thought I mention anyway.
Is there an oil you can rub and massage your legs with. A warming oil perhaps. Believe it or not, olive oli in the winter warms me upupI use it the massage into my arms and legs. And no, I don’t mind the fragrance of it at all. I also use almond oil at times and castor oil at other times.
I hope you find a solution, and will be able to feel better soon.
Take care ❤️ 🌴🌴🌴

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Taci on the HD Thread you ask what my five piece of HD
I like and here is one of them. If I can find my pictures I have posted in the past on HD
I will post again. 😎

Taci I have everything in this picture including the wrap. I also have the ring which is not
shown. 💕The Heidi Girls know it take a while to collect the entire suite. I have been
doing this for over 18 years.

Wishing you a warm Saturday perfect day for a hike. 🎈😎 Safe trails.

Sheba, You have great taste. That’s a lovely set. I think that makes #1 and #2. I’m sure it isn’t easy to pick a favorite. 18 years of collecting is amazing. I look at most jewelry from afar these days, except for a piece here and there.
Hope that the cats and Poppy are staying warm.

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio Loaf sending good vibes to you. 🎈😎💕

@xango,

Good day in Florida. 💕😎🎈Xango yesterday was Oodiebom’s Birthday so we will celebrate
all weekend just to give her a boost. 🎈😎

I could use some of your wonderful rolls and fresh coffee OZ is getting colder. 😎

I know they are having fun Brazil. 😎🎈💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida and a very hearty Happy Birthday and many happy
and healthy returns. 💕🎈😘I am going to celebrate your birthday all weekend. 🎈

Don’t faint at the cake I know this will put us all in a coma with the sugars. LOL!
One slice will be nice. 🎈💕😎

Glad the Aide is back I know that helps a lot. I still feel there is no place like home. 😘💕

This is from all of us with love. 😘💕🎈

Oodie, Happy Birthday all weekend long! Hope you enjoy the weekend with some extra fun!

@sheba2011

Thanks for the all weekend celebration. I think after all we have gone through, there is nothing like a little celebration to makes us smile, laugh, sing, holler, etc. to forget all the problems within our families and for those facing trouble times elsewhere. We need to smile more and frown less. At the same time I hope and pray that your SIL is feeling better following the chemo. and can do some of the things she enjoys. Nothing like having dinner out or one delivered.

During the winter months I try to keep fresh ginger in the house. I use it in teas and food. In teas I cut a small piece and put it into the cup and let it seep for five minute or more. Ginger does have some pretty good antioxidants. Great for cold or flu season and also great on cruises. It helps with digestion and also for those days you do not feel like eating. I sometimes throw some slices into boiling water.

I purchased the TS this morning. I have the first 4 from last year and they really come in handy, especially when shopping at either Aldi’s or the Farmer’s Market. I use them mainly for items going into the freezer or frig. Makes handling and carrying a bit easier on the arms and legs and quickens the time spent in the kitchen so I can be on my way to see hubby.

Today I am running a bit behind schedule. I have clothes in the wash that will soon be in the dryer. I’m getting ready for some cooler or colder temps next week. I will be doing this all weekend. Try to stay warm and bundle up. Too bad Poppy needs to go out. Wonder if he would like using a child’s toilet during bad weather or during real cold spells. Just a thought.

@oodiebom,

Good evening I was drinking some tea and I almost spilled the tea with your comment
about Poppy. LOL! LOL! Ah no Poppy will always run into our huge backyard to his spot. 💕

The snow is melting and I can see him clearly and he misses spending time outdoors.
So I will let him play with his two girlfriends on the other side of the fence. I will be in
the indoor patio watching as always. 💕🎈

I am loving your birthday weekend. I hope hubby had a good time yesterday just being
with you. 💕🎈😎

@oodiebom

Happy, happy birthday to you!!!🎈🎂✨ And lots, lots more. Since it is snowy and cold here, I will celebrate you with snow-cones for all!🍧🍧🍧 Have a wonderful weekend.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I hope the fires are dying out. The fire fighters and first
responders need a much needed break so do the people of California being affected.

I need to stop watching the news it’s affecting me when I see people who have lost
everything except the clothes on their backs. I will never whine again about anything it
can be so much worse. Prayers up for all affected.

I am sure Matlock was a re-run that I have seen. I am expecting a call from my niece
I just want to make sure she is safe. Oz will be even colder over the next few days.

I am wishing Oodiebom a great birthday celebration all weekend of course it’s low key. 😎🎈
I just want her to feel appreciated I know the feeling.

This is to perhaps make you LOL! I know all that sugar is not good but the smile is worth it.

Happy Hiking Trails to you please keep safe. 🎈😎

Sheba, Take a break from the news. It will be going on for a long time, sadly. Lots of places taking donations and going up to LA. I am told by my hairdresser that I am a stress eater. She might be right. Uh oh… 🙂

Let’s celebrate Oodie’s birthday!
The cakes you posted are lovely. For some reason I can’t post emoji’s anymore. Sorry Oodie.

Hiked today and it was sunny, cool and dry. Our usual weather. I’m using the watch duty app for fire information.

Hubs had to drill holes in my planter box so water can drain.

@taci,

Good evening I have turned the telly off at least no more news. I am donating through
a good organization here in OZ. I have enough to fill at least three houses I mean not even
a bare wall. I wish I lived near LA I would put it all in a tractor trailer truck. 😎

I need to get rid of stuff anyway. I don’t need an excuse to give it away. LOL! I would just
replace it or take a nice trip around the world. 😎🎈

Here have one slice of oodiebom’s Birthday Cake. 💕🎈🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery from his procedure.
I know winter seems colder and longer when ice is involved it becomes another story. 😎

Keep warm and be careful on your Deck with the snow. I am having some soup and crackers.
I don’t have much of an appetite.

We are celebrating Oodiebom’s birthday just for sheer fun. 😎🎈💕

This is to Life. 😘💕😎

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😘🎈Thank you for the shout out on the Game.
We need all the luck we can get.

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. I think this is the warmest day for the next week. Rain/snow tomorrow and more snow on Sunday. The low on Tuesday will be -11.😱🥶 I’m guessing you will be getting the same.

It will be cold for the game tomorrow but the Chiefs are used to that.👍 Not so much for the Texans. It should be interesting. I’m planning on an easy dinner so I can sit and enjoy the game.

Keep those booties on Poppy so he can tip-toe through the snow.🐶🐾 Lots of hugs to you both.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I hope you are warm and toasty. 😎💕OZ is above freezing meaning we are
34 degrees. This weekend I don’t think I can stand it we will be bone cold. Hello winter.

My concern is only for the animals. I am going to the store tomorrow and stock up on
fresh foods the cats will need it especially with the coming week being so cold.

This should help keep you warm. Lady have you heard from your mother and sister?
I hope they are having a great time on their Cruise. 🎈😎

Sweet Dreams. 💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten and may this day find you doing well. 🎈😎

This is for Oodiebom’s Birthday. 😎🎈

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. 💕🎈😎

@loaf,

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.
Lady I hope your husband heals fast.

Just kick back and relax I know I am tired of the cold. Hey the Team will Saturday
and it will be cold. 💕🎈

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.

@loaf,

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. 🎈💕
