NATIONAL BAKED SCALLOPS DAY

March 12th celebrates National Baked Scallops Day and a popular delicacy, the scallop.

Scallops are a cosmopolitan family and can be found in all of the world’s oceans. They are one of the most popular shellfish in the world and highly prized as a food source.

There are two fleshy parts of the scallop that are usually sold at the market for human consumption. The adductor muscle is the white medallion of meat which is rich and sweet. This is the piece that is most familiar as the “scallop” we see on a menu.

There is also the coral or the roe which can range in color from pale coral to bright orange. This crescent-shaped piece is usually discarded before the scallop is sold at market because it may contain toxins. However, sometimes it is sold attached to the adductor muscle. It is bitter and some say it cuts the richness of the rest of the scallop.

These meaty mollusks are very low in fat and are deliciously prepared in a variety of ways. Baking them omits much of the butter and fat that otherwise go into cooking this lean, white seafood.

Restaurants serve baked scallops as both an entree and an appetizer. However, if you enjoy them enough, have one as your starter and then an entree, too!

NATIONAL GIRL SCOUT DAY

As part of Girl Scout Week, National Girl Scout Day on March 12th honors the history and legacy of Girl Scouting in America each year.

NATIONAL WORKING MOMS DAY

Today, we are taking extra time to educate, encourage and inspire people to learn more about their skin barrier and take and take steps to protect it.

NATIONAL PLANT A FLOWER DAY

Spring is just around the corner, and March 12th is the day to participate in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year this day is dedicated to the planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season. Flower gardening has become a hobby for many, young and old, and National Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year.

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio wishing you a great Wednesday. 🎈😎

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida. 😎🎈So glad you can plant right now I will have to wait
a while because we are expecting more winter weather in the merry month of March. 🎈😎

I hope the cat comes back I would just sit some cat food and water out for him the way you
described him I don’t think he has missed any meals. 💕

I love what I do for these four cats that visit me. Xango some of them actually starts to
meow when I bring the food. I know they are hungry and I am glad I am here to help
them. 💕😎

We have a Red Moon coming. 😎🎈I was out in the Moonlight last night and I could see
eyes watching me. This street I love on has houses on both sides and the night is very quiet.
I had a bullseye view of the moon and it was white and bright. 😎💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕😎🎈Sorry about the brief illness still annoying.
Glad you made for your labs at least that is out of the way.

Nice price on all the veggies very good deal.

If i were you I would make the bathroom bigger if you should have to sell your home
some day that would be a good selling point. All the renovation will make the house
look beautiful. 😎💕🎈

I think your hubby room mate may have problems but your husband has been in that room
longer that means he gets to use the remote and watch TV. The issue could be the man is
not able to walk so he is screaming and yelling because he may not know how to ask for
help. I feel sorry for him.

This would inspire me to work harder to get hubby home.

So glad you had a nice visit and here is to many more OZ is very nice today.

@Sheba

That illness was annoying. Still do not know what caused it. Anyway, it’s over.

I will be writing a note to the Administration of the Rehab. There is no reason why hubby’s glasses cannot be found or for that matter a lap blanket that is equal to a twin size that I use whenever it is cold. I have no idea where it is and I am positive that no one has looked for these items. Oh, just noticed that hubby’s electric toothbrush is gone. Only the case is left. I do have the recharge.

Hubby’s roommate is in tons of pain. I just wonder if he fell and has ribs broken. If so, that would explain why he lashes out. He mentioned that he took a fall about two years ago where he broke the shoulder. He is still having problems with that arm, but for the most part is doable.

Today I expect the plumber between noon and 2 pm. It would be nice to be able to use the new dishwasher. For months I have been trying to get the disposal to work to no avail. I finally had to make that call. The kitchen is still a can do project. Once I get everything working I will need to redo the cabinets and put all dishes and silverware through sanitize. Only then I will feel comfortable using everything.

Hubby is doing good. He now knows that he must work hard to be able to stand and to use his arms more. I have a feeling that the bathroom will be done before he can maneuver himself from wheelchair to bed and from wheelchair to the bathroom. I will definitely have help.

While sitting at this computer, it dawned on me that our bathroom is opposite. I called the pros and thought if we took this desk out, they would be able to enlarge this bathroom. All closets would remain without a demolition. I am not looking at cost at this point, but with these people, that bathroom would be huge. Right now you can see our sink from the bed and there is room to put a wall up and a door. There’s quite a bit we can change.

The flooring will go. In Florida, because of the heat and humidity, we have some soft areas where the subflooring will need to be replaced. This is probably due to the initial build. This seems to be in the most traffic areas and the pros have said that they want to replace all the sub flooring just to be on the safe side. It’s OK with me. I rather be safe and know that things were done right. It is all in the cost which I received.

Have a great day. It is 64 degrees as I type. We should be in the mid 70s this afternoon. The low tonight will be in the 50s. Wish I could open a window, but alas, hubby did some power washing and hit the screens. If I open the window some critters will be able to climb through. I’m talking about the geckoes and other reptiles.

@oodiebom,

Good day I am sorry you have a lot going on. I understand I too would be a bit upset.
I hate the part about the electric toothbrush really? I mean who does that?
The glasses are just too expensive these days to be lost and never seen again.

I am going to breathe on the other hand your renovation project is going forward.
Well done Oodie. 😎🎈

Once hubs get home you don’t have to worry about glasses and toothbrushes anymore.
I am sure there is a little of that and a little of this going on like bossy room mates.

Hang in there Oodie and one day this too shall pass. 🎈💕😘

Enjoy some tea with your Manuka Honey our temps are the same and that does not happen
often. 💕😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California here is to a beautiful Wednesday. 🎈💕😎
I did watch a bit of the telly and looks like you may be in for some rain.

I just hope it is not too much. OZ is in Spring Mode I see things peeping out of the ground.
Taci you have had some interesting times at your home the same as me. LOL! 💕🎈

The kids always like to come to our house because I was the cool mom with the cool house.
Still I kept my eyes on everything. 😎 I do miss those days. The kids say I am still the cool mom
with the cool house. 😘

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎈😘😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh sweet friend.

Enjoy Mom Wednesday. 😘🎈😎

Sending warm vibes to you and Jake. 🎈😎

@kittengirl,

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

Tuesday Afternoon
Song by The Moody Blues

Tuesday afternoon
I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
I’m looking at myself reflections of my mind
It’s just the kind of day to leave myself behind
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love
If you’ll just come with me you’ll see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
I’m just beginning to see
Now I’m on my way
It doesn’t matter to me
Chasing the clouds away
Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I’ve got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh

@loaf,

@xango,

Wishing you a wonderful day enjoy your fresh coffee and rolls. 😎🎈💕I am sure Florida
is beautiful right now.

@@Sheba2011 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Hello, you are correct. We had a lovely day with temperatures in the 70’s. Tonight will be in the high 40’s which makes for good sleeping weather 😴.
Planted some seeds for flowers in the coming months. Also some ends of spring onions I cut off from the grocery store.

Put water for the bunnies and gave them some food. Later on I’m looking out the patio door I see a kitty cat. I was so excited, opened the door and tried to call him but he became scared and ran into the woods. It was a big cat, looked like a male, gray and white.
Enjoy your walks with Poppy. The Moon will be full really soon and night sky looks great.

Take care Sheba ❤️

@xango

Head’s. Up…. Our Farmer’s Market still carries the raw milk.. Was there today and saw it on the shelf.

@oodiebom

Hi, thanks for the heads up. I love to be able to go there and get some and much more. It’s a bit far and unable now. Perhaps in the future sometime this year.
The temperatures are getting warmer here. Can’t believe it’s the middle of March already. Hopefully hurricanes will stay away from Florida, fingers crossed.
I hope you will be able to bring your hubby home this year. Please give him my regards. Tell him prayers are being said for him to be able to go home.

Be safe Oodiebom

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈 Oodie I know you are preparing for
the renovation and I am glad your husband is helping. I can’t wait for it to be complete
and he can come home. 🎈Pretty sure he feels the same way.

Oz is very nice today we are in the 60’s this is the warmest it has been in months. 🎈😎

Here is hoping you get all your shopping done and have a pleasant day with hubby.
I am not feeling his room mate I think he is being petty with the TV and remote.
Your husband has been there for a long time he should get first dibs on the TV and remote. 😎

Let me know how things goes today. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

I awoke this morning not feeling well. Not sure what hit me. Could have been sulfites. I went to the computer to try and cancel my labs for today, but found the computer was down. Not only was the computer down, but so was the entire box. Had no choice but to keep the appointment. When I entered their suite you need to sign in with their computer. They had the same black screen as me. It sort of gave me a chuckle. At least I knew at that point that there was no way to cancel that appointment. Even their phone lines were dead. Feeing a bit better following the test, drove to the Farmer’s Market. It is on the way home, so made a stop. The place was jammed packed. I noticed that eggs were over $9 for a dozen. Egg substitute was in the same price line. However, the fruit and veggie aisles were lower. My carriage at the end of shopping was packed all the way to the top. And, yes, I felt better. And, when I arrived home, two hours later, and unpacked, the total bill was way under $100. A very nice surprise.

I have no idea what is wrong with hubby’s roommate. He tried to get out of bed. Like, my hubby, he cannot walk. This is a young person, I would say in his 30s. If the aides try to move his legs, he hollers and screams. Hubby said he has huge problems. It is sad to see. Anyway, we had a great visit.

We are doing a complete renovation. It will be a great day when everything is said and done . No more clutter. No papers thrown or tossed about. I picked up plastic containers with covers and will start putting papers away by category. From HSN I purchased a few Origami pieces to house the containers. The people I hired also mentioned that they have a truck to dispose of things I do not need or want. Right now the desk in our MB will be tossed. The drawers no longer work and it’s high time to get rid of it. This area will be great for a bookcase and a chair and floor lamp. A good reading niche. Or, I could enlarge the bathroom. I will mention this to the people who are more knowledgeable Who knows, this may be a better alternative for a walk-in shower. Hmmm…….

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. Taci the kid did what??? I am so glad you were home.
I know your son was probably mortified and knew what was coming next. LOL! 😎

We have had sleepovers for the kids and all kinds of things happened. I made sure
they knew my presence. 💕🎈

I am working on small projects around the house things I can do on my own.
I like it as no one is in my way. I get out of the way when hubby does his projects
there is a reason for that. Hubs like to use his tools I mean he is a tool guy. 💕😎

I have notice some of Denise Austin’s things today as she has a TS on HSN. I like the squatter
that is something I can use. I have the treadmill but I like to look good coming and going. 😎

Taci enjoy your hike today and I do feel a change with the time springing forward and I feel
real good about it. 💕😎

Sheba, yah, child with his father who threw the ball and then says is that why my wife is always mad at me? Yah, we have stories. Nice people though.
We had a rainy day and expect more rain for the next few days. I went on the treadmill at the gym and enjoyed it.
Sounds like our husbands both are tool guys and do-it-yourself types.
The flowers are lovely.
Enjoy your house projects.

@taci,

I love this set by HD. 😘😎💕

Sheba, very nice set! I have looked at that ring over the years in many colorways, but haven’t purchased it. At least not yet. The one pictured is great for Spring.
If I am correct yo have the ring in at least one color way. 🙂

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Wishing you a nice day. Enjoy this time with your mother. 💕🎈😘
I hope you have little cooking to do. I have a roast in my slow cooker I am adding the
works and that will be one and done.

Take it easy I hope your mother is enjoying her meals.

Lady sending warm and beautiful vibes to you and Jake. 😘🎈😎

@sheba2011

We hit 72 today, warmest day of the year. Hubs put the screen in the kitchen window and had the deck door open all afternoon. Hope whatever flew or crawled in doesn’t get me tonight, lol!🦟🐝 Saw my resident groundhog for the first time this year.

Spent the afternoon at mom’s. Got rid of her Christmas poinsettias and helped her with writing checks. Her hand isn’t real steady due to arthritis. Talked to sis and she is getting a lot done at home that needs done.

How is your SIL doing? Is she still scheduled for surgery this month?🙏💗

You and Poppy have a great walk this evening, sending lots of hugs.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I am glad you and your mother had some together and your sister
is taking care of business. 😎🎈

I miss her.

My SIL surgery is scheduled in two weeks and we are all praying that things go well. 💕

I have that on my mind a lot because children are involved.

Lady just relax and enjoy your time tonight. 💕

Oz is perfect just the way I like it. 💕😎

I am getting ready to jump in the shower and just wash the day away. 🎈😘

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a wonderful day. 😎🎈

NATIONAL BLUEBERRY POPOVER DAY

What better way to start March 10th than with National Blueberry Popover Day? Popovers are airy rolls that puff up when baked, popping over the edge of the tin. They are light and crispy on the outside while the insides are warm and often hollow. They can be filled with custards, creams, and fruits for a sweet treat, especially blueberries.

NATIONAL WOMEN AND GIRLS HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY

Observed annually on March 10th, National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day empowers people everywhere with knowledge and information regarding HIV/AIDS. It also focuses on the often-overlooked impact it has on women and girls.

NATIONAL MARIO DAY

National Mario Day on Mar 10 recognizes an iconic character from a popular video game. The character, known today as Mario, first appeared in 1981 in a game called Donkey Kong made by Nintendo.

NATIONAL NAPPING DAY

Each year, National Napping Day recognizes our need the day following the return of daylight saving time. Not only does the observance encourage a nap, it reminds us that there’s no shame in taking one either. While preparing for the time change can offset the shock to our internal clock, many other things in our life may not handle the change so well causing us to still lose sleep. Young children and pets do not adjust as easily and certain work schedules do not permit early adjustment, either.

NATIONAL PACK YOUR LUNCH DAY

National Pack Your Lunch Day on March 10th encourages everyone across the country to take their lunch to work, school, or wherever they’re spending the day. It’s an opportunity to revitalize lunchtime with fresh and healthful meal choices.

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

Good day in beautiful Florida. 🎈😎 Oz is beautiful today and we have the Sun.

Wishing you a wonderful day. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎💕🎈Oodie wishing you all the luck with hiring
your contractors for your new renovations. This will be a hand full but you feel so good
when it is done. 🎈💕😎

Oz is beautiful on this Monday and I am enjoying the Sun while Poppy runs in the
backyard with his friends at the back fence. 💕

I am making a Pasta Dish and Salad for dinner when hubby gets home from work he
will love it. 💕

Enjoy the visit with your hubs today and I am sure he is happy about the re-do which
means he comes home. 🎈

@sheba2011

I just hired the contractor. I am beyond impressed. This company is definitely one stop shopping. They have people who dismantle, install, cleanup, paint, powerwash and to top it off, a decorator to help you decide on color and tile. They bring the samples (hundreds) and I do the picking. Now I jjust need to check to see if they would bring the samples to the Rehab so hubby can take a look. And they do a percentage to start and several in between and then some. Oh yes, the ramp will be metal. I did not want wood. I was concerned with splinters if you held on and slide your hand. Cannot wait to give hubby the entire “enchilada.”

We are having a rain on and off day. Temp is in the 70s as I type. I wanted to stop at Costco, but the people just left. So will venture to Aldi’s which is almost around the corner.

Have a great afternoon. I think I will take a ride to your home for dinner. It’s better than mine.

@sheba2011

Before I left to visit hubby, I contacted the Remodelers and found that they will bring samples to the Rehab. I mentioned this to hubby and he was all smiles. The Rehab is approximately 4 miles from the Interstate. It works out perfectly. Tomorrow I will count the traffic lights and the mileage from the last light to the cut off. Looking forward to working with these people.

@oodiebom,

I am so happy for you and hubs I think we all are.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening it has been a long day. My dinner turned out great and I added the
Garlic Bread hubs is very happy. 💕

I have been working on small projects there is always something to be done in a
three story house. 💕😘

I wish I could renovate but I have to think real hard about that as I am not sure this
is where I want to be in the long run. The verdict is out for now.

I hope they do a great job and a timely job as well.

Oodie relax a bit with your book I am going to jump in the shower. 💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎Taci I was laughing so hard at your post from last
night my husband was wondering what was so funny. I reminded him of things we did
in the past when people visited us. LOL!

We still have people who visit but I have known them for years. 💕

Hey enjoy the trails today I hope you don’t see any coyotes.

Sheba, glad you had a good laugh! Sounds like you understand.
Did you have the neighbor who came over with his son and tossed a football around, yah, inside!
You know I stopped that right away. My son would never have even thought to do that in the house. People live differently.
Sounds like Oodie is making progress with her projects.
Hiking was cool with blue sky’s. No one out. Wonder if it was the time change. I feel it change a bit.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I know you are busy with your mother and I am working on some
small projects around the house. 💕😎

I hope you and your mother are eating out and having a good time.

Take it easy don’t over do anything.

Sending Cool Vibes to you and Jake. 💕😘🎈

@sheba2011

Spring is here at least for this week.🌷🌼🌻 I know you are enjoying the nice weather as much as I am.🌞

Did laundry and other chores around the house. Stopping at mom’s tomorrow. Making chicken and a side for dinner.

Have a relaxing evening, sending sunny hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I am done for the night. 😎Hubby loved the meal and I had Garlic Toast
with it.

I love your meal and will have it later in the week. The weather is beautiful but it will
not last long I take it in bits and pieces. 💕

Wishing you a good night. 😘

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California and welcome to a new week Kitten. 🎈😎😘

I hope the little critters are enjoying the food you set out for them.
I love feeding the cats I know they appreciate it. 😎💕

Enjoy your Sunday.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Glad the Kindle is up and running.
I hope you get all your fruits and veggies while you can.

I will be getting the Henry Winkler Book. Oodie I think his house was affected in some
way by the fires he was on TV talking about looters in his area and it is a high end area.

Oodie with the time change I did not noticed a thing. Hubby had set all the clocks and devices.
The sun is bright and we are close to 60 degrees I am loving it. 💕

Hubs and I are still running errands.

I hope you have a nice visit with your husband. I like how things are getting settled for
your renovation project. 💕🎈Go Oodie.

@sheba2011

I am currently working on the cabinet that houses towels, shampoo, conditioners, and other items. I did not look at the labels but will do so as I return them to the shelves. Kindle comes in handy when asking how to dispose of items the correct way. This cabinet has not been looked at since the day we renovated the master bathroom. That is years ago. Yes, I will be using “Clean Boss.” Funny how the new bottles for Lysol Spray says they are 100% effective.

Our aide again was at the other end of our floor. He let me out around 9:30 pm and as I was leaving he whispered how much he misses working with the two of us. I know he doesn’t like hubby’s roommate. There are two different sides to his personality. Not a good thing. He is also unable to walk due to injuries. Visitors are not there except for one lady that I thought was his mom, but may not be, arrives one day every couple of weeks. She brings the bills that need to be paid. Funny, hubby just tolerates him.

The contractor who was here yesterday, had a lady with him that I assumed was his wife. She used the excuse to use the bathroom. I knew immediately it was to look at the house, and I let it pass. Not to worry, I did check each room after they left and everything was in order. I have another contractor coming tomorrow and that is the one I may end up with. I definitely need to renovate most of the rooms, but for now will start with the ramp and the guest bathroom. Once I declutter the Master bedroom, then we can decide on the next project. Right now I need to finish what I started. Next are the closets. This will get me out of the kitchen until I can safely use the other part of the sink that utilizers the drain for the dishwasher. Doing dishes, glassware and utensils is not my forte. I will need to empty the cabinets again in order to sanitize every piece. Otherwise it will definitely be another throw away. No, I do not put pots and pans in the dishwasher.

You will not be disappointed with Henry’s book. It is a fast read. For me, a slow one since I only take the time to enjoy a novel while visiting hubby. He tends to fall asleep after dinner. By the way, I brought him Acorn homemade soup yesterday along with a Smoothie from the Farmer’s Market. He loved the soup. Had not touched the smoothie before I went home. The Smoothie was made with fresh fruit that was not previously frozen. Well, back to work. Hope you have a wonderful afternoon and evening. Enjoy the spring-like weather. Winter has a tendency to show it’s nastiness every now and then.

@oodiebom,

Good evening this is so strange a woman would want to check out your bathroom.
You are a very smart woman I like that. I love it when a chick is trying to play you. LOL!
I can see it coming a mile away. I don’t have many people visiting I stopped that a long
time ago because some just got downright silly.

I am about to jump in the shower and just get use to the new time change. This change
was not as bad as the Fall Change.

OZ weather is almost bad in the warm weather as it is in the cold. We have trees that will
snap and knock out the power lines. I do live in tornado alley.

I will tell you what I think of Henry W. Book.

I hope you are home resting now. 💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Wishing you a nice Sunday. 🎈💕😎
I did watch Iman last broadcast on HSN. Taci HSN is moving to a different
facility sharing with QVC. I think we will know more toward the end of the
month.

So a lot will be going on between now and then. I feel really sad about HSN leaving
the Campus in St. Petersburg.

Wishing you happy hiking trails. 😎💕🎈

Sheba, Hello this Sunday. Cleaned up my closet a bit and it’s much better.
Oodie’s story about the wife checking out her house reminded me of when my son was younger and his friends Mother stopped by my house on her way home from work for about 1 week straight. I thought it was odd but didn’t say anything because I didn’t really mind. Well, she always had to use the bathroom after arriving. You know where this is going right? Then she would compliment the bathroom decor and ask where certain items were from. I didn’t give specifics. Anyways her kid liked the bathroom decor and she remodeled her upstairs which included the…wait for it…. THE BATHROOM. Same theme as mine. I wish she was transparent about it as I would have been helpful but she was sneaky. Yah, you know the Mother who kids throw up at home and goes to child care sick. That Mother. Her kid was nice though. 🙂
Whats going on in Shebaland? Any new HD items?

@taci,

Good evening your post have me cracking up. I know all about sneaky women.
I can assure you they could not pull that shiz on me. I have an en suite which is
in my private bedroom and I have a powder room downstairs for all guest to use.
Copy all you want and I have had people come to my house just to copy what I have.

I know it’s silly but i can’t stand anyone to copy me especially my house. I can help you
create whatever you like for your home but ain’t gonna happen in my house.

I am good with Heidi Daus. 🎈😎💕Very happy just watching things and seeing how things
go.

All is well in Sheba Land. 💕😎Too funny how sneaky she was in your bathroom.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈💕😎Lady how are you feeling today?
I know this is Mom Sunday just don’t over do anything.

I wish she could spend the night at your house even for one night.

Your dinner sounded so good last night. 😎💕

I am sending you and Jake warm spring hugs. 🎈😎💕

@sheba2011

Hi my friend, beautiful day, beautiful week ahead.🌞 Hubs already went out and did some lawn work.

Have leftover Chinese for dinner today. Mom went to one of her lunches with friends so I know she will eat and she always brings food home so she should be good for today/tomorrow. Not quite sure what I will be doing with her this week.

Enjoy your spring weather, I’m sure Poppy is happy he doesn’t have to put boots on his tootsies.🐾 Sending spring hugs to you both.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening you are right Poppy is happy not to wear his little red boots. 😎💕
I am so glad you had some time for yourself.

Lady is there a movie you would like to see with your mother? I know you don’t want
to do too much walking.

Oz is beautiful and the moon is right over my head I am gazing at it. 💕😎

Enjoy your drink and you will feel right as rain.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten welcome to the new week. 💕😎🎈

Heroes
Song by David Bowie

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes for ever and ever
What d’you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We’re nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we’re lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

Good day in sunny Florida. 😎🎈💕Oz is beautiful today.

Spring is on the way in OZ. 😎💕🎈

@@Sheba2011 🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷

I hope you are feeling better and no headaches.
Happy International Women’s Day.

The temperature is warmer and sunny today 82 degrees. The rabbits are out eating their small feast, little baby ones too. The babies run back into the woods if I go out there when I try to open the door and go out there.

Not much going on here. I made a honey do list, and we are going to do a little at a time.

Wishing you and great weekend. Long walks with Poppy and your hubby. 🌷🌷🌷❤️

@xango

Hi and thank you for the anniversary greetings. Hubby really felt bad that we could not celebrate going out for dinner. But, there will be more to celebrate when he comes home.

I am now trying to find construction people with a license to install a ramp and redo an entire bathroom. The only thing left standing will be the toilet. I should have the cost on Monday. I have another firm on Monday. This one does everything and has many 5 star reviews. Also an A+ rating from BBB. Not sure of the person I saw today. Just have a first name and no info or background. We shall see what Monday brings.

I’ve been reading about the potential layoffs with the VA. I hope your hubby will be OK.

I am enjoying your dinners and recipes. Cannot wait for hubby to return home so I can try one or two. Right now he is on puree foods. The only thing I can bring are smoothies, ice cream, etc.. Nothing chewable. This all started the day after Thanksgiving when I brought a turkey dinner to the rehab. I did puree the dark meat, but when I had some leftovers of the white meat and was reaching for the container, he grabbed my dinner and started coughing. The end resulted two weeks in the hospital. He is OK now, but I am careful of the things I bring. Every so often I do cheat and let him have something that is not pureed, but still I do cut it up.
Tonight I brought him acorn soup from the Farmer’s Market and a Smoothie. He really enjoyed the soup. He has yet to try the smoothie.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend. Plenty of sunshine and some warmer temps. One of us or if we are lucky, both of us will hear some raindrops tomorrow night. Another cold front. But this one will last only a few hours. Have a great rest of the weekend.

@xango,

Good evening so far OZ is beautiful this weekend and we will be close to the 70’s next
week. The caveat is it also tree falling season that can take out power lines.
I will still Spring and watch for falling trees. 😎 The falling trees took out thousands
in my area including me. Very bad storm.

Enjoy your honey do list I keep one and hubby never forgets. The cold he had is over. 🎈💕

The moon is right over my head I look up as I feed the animals and it is beautiful. 💕

Enjoy your evening with hubby.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast and may this day find you doing well. 🎈💕😎
I hope your Kindle will be up and running for you today.

The Henry Winkler Book looks interesting he is more than an actor.

I hope you can share some of the Anniversary Images with your husband when the
Kindle is up and running.

I am doing some errands today with hubby. 💕😎

Enjoy your visit with hubby I hope his room mate will be nicer.

Let me know how it goes Oodie. 😎

@sheba2011

The Kindle is up and running and I do carry a recharge plug just in case. The first person for the ramp and the remodeling arrived this afternoon. Very nice man who is originally from Viet Nam. We decided that the ramp and bathroom will be the first to work on. This will give me some extra time to hunt for a twin bed and to do both bedroom closets. I will be able to contact the plumber on Monday to stop a leaky faucet and to repair the drain and garbage disposal in the kitchen.

Last night, as I was leaving, I happened to touch hubby’s arm. It was wet with sweat. I notified the RN and hope an aide got on top of it. Our aide was working the other side of the first floor. I will let him know about this when I see him this afternoon. Yes, I am deeply concerned. I continue to worry about dehydration. He was not that coherent yesterday nor did he have a drink in front of him. I found the water on his night stand and left it on his movable tray. Wish I could have stayed but it was past the witching hour for me.

Hubby and I found it difficult to communicate when we were married. Most of that reason was due to my mother constantly calling and giving me headaches. She is what I call a “buttinski.”
Parents should remember to stay out of their children’s lives and to let them make their own decisions. My mother, may she RIP, never did this. She always found a way to embarrass both of us in front of family and friends. It got to the point that the best solution was to separate. Though I missed hubby, I found that after two years with no real solution was to start divorce proceedings. Three months later I had a court date. That court date had to be postponed because I was working on a case and had to be at the State Capitol and a Judicial Court that day. As it so happened, on the Day of Atonement, hubby knocked on our door of the apartment and actually said we should start over. So we started dating again, and the outcome was that I moved out of that apartment and moved to his City and then received a promotion which meant just an eleven mile drive to my new office. As you can now tell everything worked out.

Though my mom took ill several years later, my hubby would drive to her home on Fridays. He would take her to the hair appointment and then we would meet for dinner. I was working and he retired with a “golden handshake.” After all the trouble my mom did to destroy the marriage, he was able to turn the cheek when I was unable to step in. The best advice is to let the children make their own mistakes. It is called “letting go.” Sheba, I know you are not like my mom, but there may be a few who read this thread that think they are doing the right thing. This is for the other buttinskies. My marriage was just days away from ending. What would have happened if I left for good? Thankfully, I never had to answer that question.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening what a story about your mother. I learned how to be a good mom by watching
and learning from my mom. My mother’s advice to me when things went awry in the family
was you have a good chance to stay out of it. 😎 Those are my mom’s words of wisdom that
I practice even today. My parents and family all love my husband in fact sometimes I think
they like him more than me. (smile) 💕😎

I am glad you found your way back to each other. So wonderful your husband forgave your
mom in her days of illness. That is what I call class.

Oodie you are on the move keep moving forward to get hubby home.

I think you can write your own book about your life very interesting. 😎

Hey don’t forget to set your clock. 🎈💕

@oodiebom 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Oodiebom, I hope you are feeling better.
Just a tiny post to wish you and your husband a Happy Anniversary. 54 years is a truly proud moment.
Wish you and your husband much health and happiness. 💐💐❤️❤️

@oodiebom

Sorry I’m a little late but happy 54th to you both!🥂 I hope you had a nice day. Sounds like there will be more celebrations soon when Mr. Oodie finally comes through the door!✨🎉🥰

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈 OZ is sunny today and we will take it.

Thank you for your post yesterday I did respond. 🎈😎

Taci enjoy the trails today interesting to see what you may come across. 🎈
Just be safe.

Sheba, hope its warming up in Oz. I saw your note and you really are a sweet thoughtful person.
I drove to hike and after a while turned back and headed to the gym and walked and ran a bit on the treadmill. My son Mtn bikes in a different location but mentioned seeing a coyote and I just wasn’t in the mood to worry about a bobcat, coyote or snake. It’s snake season.
Sounds like Iman is retiring from HSN. I didn’t see this in-person but read a thread on here.
I wish her well and know many will miss her.
Have a great evening!

@taci,

I was surprised at Iman leaving she did announce it on HSN Wednesday. I had photos of
her that’s what was going on. I will miss her very classy lady. I do own many of her pieces
since day one. 😎

Iman has all the money in world that she and Lexi needs I am sure she is taking some
me time.

I had fun with Oodie’s Anniversary. 💕🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I know you may feel a wee bit tired. How is your mother doing?
I hope she has a good appetite I know you are doing the best you can while your sister
is away.

I hope your cough is nearly gone for both you and hubby. 😎🎈

Lady enjoy your day with mom and take good care of you too. 🎈😎

Sending warm spring vibes to you and Jake. 🎈

@sheba2011

Happy Saturday to you. Woke up to about 1-1/2 inches of snow.❄ Sun came out and it is now gone. We will have a warm week ahead, 60-70 the whole week. This better be the last I see of snow! I hope Oz is nice and calm this weekend.

Had a long, busy mom Friday and pretty much collapsed on the couch. When sis is here, I’m not used to being on my feet most of the day.🏃‍♀️ Got through it but taking it easy today.

Hubs ran out and picked up Chinese for dinner so I don’t have to cook.🥡 You and Poppy enjoy your walks, Jake and I sending huge hugs.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening and I hope you are taking it easy. Thank you for posting I knew Mom Friday
was a very busy day for you. Love what hubby did for dinner. 💕🎈😎

Oz may be getting warmer but it’s also tree falling season. Yikes!

Kick back and relax and enjoy your evening. I hope your mother is eating something
good your sister was wise the way she set up the meals. 💕

Enjoy this should make everything better. 💕😎Goodnight sweet friend.

@shoelady60

Thank you for the anniversary greetings. We had some quiet time together in what they call the TV room.. I did expect to take him out, but the weather had other ideas. Today I was up and about at the crack of dawn. Was.able to get a load of wash done and to check the bathroom. The house is still topsy turvy. But it will get done someday.

I did meet a contractor this afternoon. We decided to do the ramp and bathroom first. This will give me some time to move the boxes elsewhere and to empty others. I will probably start on the master this week. I just wish there were more hours in the day.

Looks like you and your hubby are feeling better. Remember to take time for yourselves. Hope you both enjoyed your takeout. You made me hungry. Guess I will order out also since I’m visiting hubby.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a very nice day. 🎈😎💕

Times of Your Life
Song by Paul Anka

… Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it’s hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?
… The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you’ve seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life? (Do you remember?)
… Reach out for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The memories are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
… Here comes the setting sun (comes the setting sun)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?
… Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?
… Of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?
… Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?

Mr. and Mrs. Oodie

Love,

Always 🎈💕

Wishing you many more I hope you share these images with your husband I think he
will get a kick out of them. 🎈😎

Do you remember the times of your life..🎶🎶

@sheba2011

I remember that we broke up and later headed for a divorce after two years of separation. In a sense those two years made us grow up and come back together. The first 6 months back was really difficult. It was up and down. I had decided that if things were not different I would leave. However, before the year ended I could not fathom being without hubby. And it’s been that way ever since.

I stopped for gas at Sam’s Club and got sticker shock. On line, when I checked, gas was $2.71 and Costco was $2.79. I had looked at the prices at 2 pm. Well, when I arrived at Sam’s the pump was $2.97. I had no choice. The vehicle has a 12 gallon tank. It took 10 gallons. I was actually almost driving on fumes. Also, because of road construction, getting to Costco was out of the question. It now takes over 45 minutes to go 3 miles on the interstate to Costco. I will also need to consider this when we actually can travel North.

I contacted Amazon’s CS Unit and explained that the Kindle was left behind. If anyone stole it there would be no way to recharge it. No way for them to access any of my books or any info.
I contacted the Rehab this afternoon and our aide found it. When I arrived he mentioned that I probably would need a new battery. The life on the battery was less than 2%. I will be contacting Amazon shortly to let them know that the Kindle is safe. Because I had almost no batter y life left, I could not show hubby your thoughtfulness. Tomorrow is another day. I will let you know.

Before I forget. Henry Winkler’s book is amazing. I have never laughed so hard. A very talented person. To think he was at Emerson College while I was a student. I remember my friends stating how talented he was. Unfortunately, I was unable to see any of the shows. I had other commitments that conflicted. I hope you get to read his novel.

@oodiebom,

Good morning Oodie you have a lot of interesting stories to tell. 💕🎈

I hope you can re-charge or get a new battery for your kindle. I am so glad your
Aid found it. I hope you are able to show your husband some of the images
of your Anniversary. 🎈💕😎

Sad but everything is going up we ain’t seen nothing yet. Sigh..

I will read his new book sounds interesting. Oodie will see you upstream. 😎🎈

@taci,

Good day in S. California we are celebrating Oodiebom’s 54th Anniversary. 🎈💕
I made an oops in the day. No worries we will all have fun.

I have to say we will all be in a coma if we ate all these cakes. LOL! 💕🎈😎

Taci scroll downstream and see some of Oodies Anniversary Shoutouts. 🎈

Guess you better start hiking and I am going walking. 🎈😎

Sheba, wow! such a nice anniversary celebration!
54 years is a long time to be married.
Nice party thread!

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Thank you so much I am glad you like it. I did have
fun coming up with ways to do it and I have done this for many in the HSN Community. 🎈💕

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I know this is a busy day with your mom. I want to toast to

Good afternoon in sunny Florida. Well we made it through a very brutal Winter. What a difference
a day makes. This time yesterday we had no power. We are a bit cloudy in OZ but warmer
too. 😎💕

Spring is around the corner and that makes the animals happy. 💕🎈😎 This is Multi-Task
Day. 😎

Enjoy your fresh coffee and rolls. 😘🎈

@sheba2011 🌹🌹🌷🌷

Hello 🌹 it seems that the seasons are becoming more and more intense. Winter gets colder by each year, and Summer more hotter.

I am glad you will be coming out of this harsh Winter into a beautiful Spring. Here in my area we were spared this Winter. Temperatures didn’t get so low as other Winters.
The temperatures were more like Spring. Winter as far as cold days was just a few days.
Our Spring will be more like Summer in your area. We already had several days in the 80’s. Thought yesterday and today we are in the 60’s during the day and 40’s at night.
Which is comfortable and no humidity. But these two days it’s been very windy. We have a fire alert in several counties. Temperatures will bounce back into the 80’s after tomorrow.
I made lentils for dinner, enough for the freezer. Cauliflower rice for hubby and Jasmine rice for me.

Here’s wishing you and Poppy lots of Sunshine and long walks. 🌹🌹🌹

@xango,

Good evening thank you for posting. 😎🎈I am going to welcome the warmer weather all
I need is to be around 70 degrees and I plant flowers until my heart desire. 💕😎

The weather has changed in past ten years and I will leave it at that.

I love your meal go girl. 🎈😘

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎Oodie I hope the meds are adjusting
just fine for you.

I see you have a lot going on with the re-do for your home. I know it’s a lot of work
hiring the right contractors for various projects. Hang in there my friend this too shall
pass. I am sure when your husband comes home he will be thrilled. 😎🎈💕

Oz is alright today after the storm some people are still without power. The weather is
always choppy in these parts.

Let me know how things go for you today Oodie I do hope you are able to get to the
markets. 🎈😎

Oodie, Wishing you and your husband a Happy 54th Anniversary!

@sheba2011

Hi. Today was our 54th Anniversary. I didn’t have a chance to do anything or bring something special to hubs. The phone calls kept me home. Finally I decided that the machine could do it’s part and left. Hubby was in a wheelchair when I arrived and we went to a private area where I could let him know what was going on. I had pictures to show what the walk in shower would look like and also with the shower from above and another in the middle to give him a spray all over. I even was able to tell him about the rails that go on either side of the toilet that would help him from the wheelchair or any sitting device to get to where he needs to be. This will also enable us to use it at rest areas and hotels since it is mobile. He was actually dumbfounded. Thought he would need to stay in a facility permanently. Big smiles all around. I also mentioned that he would be part of the renovation. I will bring samples to the rehab so we can both pick and choose. I will write more later since I know you are on at the moment and want to do other things.

@oodiebom,

I know you may be tired and resting. I found the issue I never saw your post.
So much was going on yesterday I don’t know how I missed it. I would have done
something entirely different I always enjoy doing this for you and your husband. 😎🎈

Remember all the times of life. 🎈😎💕😘

The memories are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow
Here comes the setting sun (comes the setting sun)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?
Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?
Of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?

Happy Anniversary. 😎🎈💕

@oodiebom,

Good Evening my post to you went poof. Happy 54th Anniversary. I did try to get the
correct date I knew it was close.

Iman is leaving HSN on March 8th her final show I found out today.

We will celebrate your anniversary for a couple more days. I will make a gallery.

I am so glad your husband have a hand in the renovation I would smile too. 🎈💕

Love never ends. 💕

@oodiebom,

Wishing you and hubby a very Happy Anniversary and many more. 💕🎈😘

Sunrise, sunset
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don’t remember growing older
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn’t it yesterday that they were small?
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as they gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
Sunrise, sunset

@oodiebom,

To a beautiful couple may you have many more. 💕🎈

To Oodiebom and husband. 🎈😎💕

I will be showing hubby your display once I find the Kindle. The aide yesterday turned the bed down for hubby and in doing so covered my purse. I saw the purse and assumed the Kindle was in my tote. It wasn’t until I arrived home and went to retrieve Kindle for a recharge. I found it was missing. I tried contacting the Rehab, but the switchboard was closed. No way to contact the nursing staff, hubby or anyone. I contacted Amazon and the machine is now closed where no one will be able to charge it or use it. I will contact the rehab this morning and hopefully it will be with hubby when I arrive.

Hubby does have some short term memory loss. However, I have kept him posted on everything that has been going on. He remembers losing the roof two years ago, our rodent problem, etc.. He has been updated daily by me and now is getting excited since I am in the process of interviewing people for our much needed renovation. I used the same service for the roofer who turned out to be exceptional. So good to work with him. I would like to bring him North. Anyway, this service came up with one person who, like our roofer, has only been in business for two years. They have a 5++rating from other clients and an A+ from BBB. I am looking forward to meeting them on Monday. Hubby would like to be here when they arrive. However, sitting in the car is not feasible. However, once the ramp is installed and I learn how to help him in and out of the car with the wheelchair, all else may be possible. Actually, I would welcome him home and helping me . This could be the best therapy ever and will speak with the social worker on this idea. He will still be staying in the rehab until the flooring in the master bedroom is installed and the hospital bed is delivered. The hospital bed is twin size and is able to be 9″ above the floor. Since hubby still has a tendency to try to get out of bed on his own, this will be helpful. The other thing I am looking at is a chair that is waterproof with a remote. This chair goes down to floor level and can rise to 21″ thus helping him in the shower. If one of us trips and falls can be moved to the person’s location and thus enable that person to reach a level to either be moved to the wheelchair or if in my case, to be able to stand and walk. Amazon has had many ideas, suggestions and tools. It has been a learning experience for him and for me. There is even a wheelchair that can go over a toilet.

@oodiebom,

Good Morning Oodie good to see you. 💕🎈😎I am so sorry about the mix up I totally
would have done it different but I think you know where my heart is.

Remember we will celebrate your 54th Anniversary today as well. 😎🎈 We will
give Mr. Oodie a nice shout out. 🎈😎

Oodie we all love you I knew this was your anniversary I just was not sure of the actual
day. I see you have a lot going on in the renovation of your home. I can’t wait for
hubby to get home. Glad you took care of the Kindle.

I will make another Anniversary Gallery because I like doing it and it gives both of you
something to smile about. 🎈💕

Love you Oodie. 😘🎈Blessings. 💕

Wishing you many more to come. 😘💕🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California wishing you a very nice Thursday. 😎🎈
Very busy day for me as multi-tasking a little of this and some of that. LOL!

I did get a good walk in as the day is much warmer I enjoy walking and keeping
things toned. 😎

Taci I admire how you hike everyday living in California has it’s advantages in a good way. 💕

Enjoy the trails and who knows what you will see today. 😎

Sheba, a white room sounds interesting, like a blank pallet. Did you have posters on the walls?

Today we had some rain so I went to the gym on the treadmill but it’s not the same as hiking, but enjoyable since I watched some videos.

Sounds like you’re planning to plant soon. It should be fun!

@taci,

Good Evening I did have a lot on the walls. I also had colors mixed in which was very
pretty. 💕🎈I am a girly girl so everything was very feminine lots of lace and bows.

Thanks for helping wish oodie a Happy Anniversary I was not sure of the date so
here we are. 🎈💕😎

Enjoy a piece of the Anniversary Cake and one slice will not hurt you. 🎈

@taci

We had some alone time, but it wasn’t the same as being home to celebrate. I mentioned that we will definitely do something when he returns home. I am hoping either this month or sometime in April. As soon as the ramp is installed, the bathroom is completed and the hospital bed along with my twin bed, he will be home. No question. I also want to thank you for the anniversary wishes. To think we almost ended up in divorce court after celebrating the first year of marriage. Who would have thought we would be together years later. Worst part is that those years go by too fast. Again, thank you for your post.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎💕🎈Lady how are you feeling today? I hope that
cough has eased up. I know you are busy with your mom so take it easy.

This is a do this and do that day for me. I always have something to do never a dull
moment. Lady having no power overnight and into the afternoon was something else.
I did check on some of my elderly neighbors and everyone weathered the storm.

Sending Spring Vibes to you and Jake. 🎈💕😎

@sheba2011

We are 30 degrees colder today than yesterday and snow showers on and off.🥶❄ I already have some buds on a few trees.

Did a little cleaning this morning and ran to the store. Going to mom’s all day tomorrow for her hair appointment and whatever else she needs done. Sis made sure she has enough choices for meals but when she isn’t there, mom doesn’t like to cook so I need to make sure she eats.

Cough is much better but still lingering.🤧 Sending warm spring hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening I am sorry that cough is still around. Lady you a good daughter.
I do hope your mom eats enough food. 💕

Here this should help you sleep a bit.

Sweet dreams dear friend. 💕😎

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you an awesome day. 😎💕🎈
