NATIONAL BOOTLEGGER’S DAY

National Bootlegger’s Day on January 17th recognizes an era when bootleggers became legendary.

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. 🙂

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

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.

@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. 💕😘

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. 😎

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.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

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

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. I know this is a somber week for you.

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. 💕😘
