@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida. OZ is warm today at 34 degrees. 😎🎈💕I will take it as it’s
the warmest we have been in over a week. I am sure the animals love it too.

Xango you are right there in Florida and I think your Zennias Flowers will turn out
fine. 😎🎈

How are you doing today? What are you cooking? I always like to ask that question
I like the way you use your seasoning. I think that puts some pop in your food. 💕

How are things with your family? I know Carnival is the end of February I believe I think
that would be so much fun. 💕🎈

Oz ground is hard as the ice on it I will be planting in a couple of months. 😎💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕😎🎈Well you have been busy as a bee.
Glad hubby got to eat some good food. I understand when he say’s he is tired of
the stuff they give him. I don’t blame him.

I am sure things will change when you get him home.

I am glad planting season is on the horizon. 😎 The caveat is the weather. OZ can be a fickle
place even in the spring.

Oodie SIL is having surgery in a couple of weeks. We are all praying for good results.

Well my headache is gone I feel so much better. I had a nice long walk in the sun.
Poppy was happy to get back to doing normal things. 😎🎈💕

I may make some chili today and get some Kosher Hot Dogs for another day.

Oodie let me know how things goes. I love the Butterfly Plant I know you will find one. 💕

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. OZ is very nice at 34 degrees that is a heat wave. 😎💕🎈

I have errands to run today so I am going to get them out of the way. One and Done. 😎

Taci enjoy the trails today where ever they may lead you. 💕🎈😎

Sheba, Wow 29!
It is so kind of you to care for the cats. Thank you.
It’s sad here with so many animals left in some isolated places and if they are found they can end up in worse situations.
We have had some great weather and I am hiking. Today was almost hot, which slowed me down.
Have a good evening!

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I hope you were able to sleep last night. I know how bad
coughing can be when you are in a good sleep.

Poppy took your advice I had a major headache due to the weather I took some meds
and slept like a baby. 😎🎈💕I have to really bundle up as I go in and out of the house
at night feeding the cats.

Lady the cats came to me for some reason. I always watch the moon every night on my
front porch I guess they see this tall ethereal looking woman in the night staring at the
moon and they just keep coming. I am going to buy more food for them. 💕

Hey I hope that cough goes away and I hope your husband feels better too.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 💕🎈😎

@sheba2011

I thought it was August since the sun was shining and the temps were above freezing!😊 Although all is still white outside.

I think hubs and I will need a few of those margaritas because nothing else seems to be working to shake this bug.🍹 I think I bought half the drug store out.

Prayers for the Pope, I just heard he is in serious condition.🙏

The cats know a good mom when they see her. It’s that special vibe they feel between you, them and the moon. Thank you for caring so much.🐈💗 Sending special hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Enjoy your drink and get well soon. Prayers for the Pope! 💕

Just rest my friend. 😘💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten wishing you well in California. 🎈💕

I so enjoy scrolling to your page after reading so many mean spirited comments, and criticism directed at almost everything, hosts, appearances, techniques, quality, quantity, customer service, admin, etc, etc. Refreshing to know there are still many positive individuals who don’t feel the need to dwell on negativity and able to enjoy the many positive elements we are surrounded by and not get pleasure from jeopardizing one’s livelihood.

Sheba, this is such a positive thing to do. Thank you as alwaysfor your lovely posts. Today, March 21st is National Fragrance Day. 🌹☘️💐. Wondering what aromas or fragrances everyone enjoys? I switch up my perfumes because I had two favorites for many many years that then were discontinued. Now, I am fickle, always trying to find “the one”. I do like light florals over gourmand and orientals. Anyone want to weigh in? Thanks Sheba and thanks everyone!

@cat911,

Thank you for such a nice post. I like fragrances too. I am glad you like the thread.

I will post some fragrances today. 😎🎈

NATIONAL BOILED PEANUTS DAY

February 21 is National Boiled Peanuts Day on the National Day Calendar. Today, we are celebrating not only one of America’s oldest snacks, but also learning why this delicious treat has become a global snacking staple.

NATIONAL CAREGIVERS DAY

National Caregivers Day on the third Friday in February honors the healthcare professionals across the country providing long-term and hospice care.

Around the nation, dedicated healthcare professionals serve those who require long-term or hospice care. They provide vital services, reassuring patients and the families who care about them. Often loved ones require care we are unable to provide due to our inability physically or not having the skills or means to provide the care. Expert caregivers are trained to provide round-the-clock services in safe environments. Their care enables the family to focus on their loved one’s healing process. In hospice care, a caregiver allows the family to spend time with their loved one without worrying about medical responsibilities.

Caregivers deliver a variety of duties from personal care to medical services with compassion and professionalism. Their days may be long and demanding, but they provide support to those who need it most.

The celebration recognizes caregivers who provide quality, compassionate care every day.

NATIONAL STICKY BUN DAY

National Sticky Bun Day on February 21st recognizes a delicious pastry that comes rolled up and dripping with a sweet, sugary topping. They’re perfect with a hot cup of coffee in the morning or as an after-dinner sweet!

NATIONAL GRAIN-FREE DAY

National Grain-Free Day on February 21st inspires families and friends to gather and enjoy each others’ company over grain-free meals. What a remarkable way to devote an entire day to loved ones who cope with dietary limitations. Not only does the day create a way to recognize the difficulties of a restricted diet, but it celebrates the family and brings everyone back into the kitchen for a meal designed just for them.

Good Morning Peeps enjoy your time in the HSN Community. 😎🎈

Wishing you a great Friday in Ohio. 😎🎈

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. I did see your post from last night. I think it was another glitch
in the system I don’t know. Xango I did watch Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner for the
first time last year and I wrote to you about it. I think you were very ill. Delightful movie
and stellar performance by all. This was Spencer Tracy last movie.

If we can get pass today we will be warmer by the weekend. 😎🎈💕

These are Scarlet Macaw and I think they are beautiful. 💕

Hey have a good day today I can smell the coffee and bread now. 💕

@sheba2011 🌹🌹

Good evening Sheba 🌹 They are lovely, Macaw have such beautiful colors.
We stayed in the 60’s today. The evening is chilly, and good sleeping weather. But pretty soon here, we will be hot and humidity high enough to cut with a knife.

I’m just waiting a few more weeks to plant some Zennias from seeds. You never know when a real cold front may come down and kill little plants. This year I didn’t have to cover any at all.

Stay warm and take care Sheba ❤️

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie welcome to the new Conversation
Thread this is number 29 I could have made 100 as they do get long. Oops!

Oodie how are you doing today? OZ is 18 degrees as I type this post to you.
This is as warm as we will get today. I know Spring is around the corner. 😎🎈

I hope you are feeling well enjoy the day. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

Hi. A cool day in Florida with temps in the mid 60s. Temp will go down to somewhere in the 40s tonight. It was way too cold visiting hubby yesterday, but colder outside. Temp was in the high 40s when I left.

I am on my way to CVS for meds and then on to Chinese take out. Good day for soup for hubby and some shrimp for me. Hubby is doing OK. I managed to speak with someone yesterday on his prescription eyeglasses. All I can say is the hunt is on. I still feel that one of the aides took them, but cannot prove it. Then again, hubby has a habit of leaving them on his tray or in a shirt pocket and forgets about it. This part has been going on for years. He has a new roommate. This one loves TV and hubby is happy. Was able to watch “Two and a Half Men.” He was all smiles. I worked on a jigsaw in Kindle. And, yes, the room was icy. Even his roommate remarked. He may go home if it keeps up.

Guess spring is around the corner. See the planting season has begun. I have my eye on the multi colored butterfly plant. Checked some of the places here with no luck. Then again, it may be too early to plant. Well, now I am on my way. I hope all the kitties start showing up for food.
Wish they would like being indoors during the cold days. Have a great day. Hope your SIL is feeling OK following the treatment.

@sheba2011

Love the birds. We are starting to see some of the birds from the North. A few love climbing on our lanai screens to find bugs. They keep that up I won’t have to use the hose in a few weeks.

Hubby enjoyed Wonton Soup. It was loaded and he had no trouble downing all the goodies. I ordered a shrimp dish with veggies. I also gave some to hubby and will look at other items when I do some food shopping. He was able to eat everything. I did not cut the shrimp or the veggies into tiny pieces. He is so tired of food being pureed. He is having problems with his fingers in that he cannot use them. Consequently the muscles are starting to go. He is on iron pills, but I feel nutrients is the way to go on this one. I noticed a huge difference when I gave him all the meatballs from the grinder. Within twenty-four hours he was able to raise his hand and reach for an item on his movable tray. This is the first time in weeks. I think I will visit the Farmer’s Market tomorrow and get an idea of some food items that may help to get those vitamin levels where they should be. I am seeing more and more people saying that over-the counter vitamins are a health risk. This is getting scary. Oh yes, our pills for sinus problems just got testier as well. It may be causing dementia. Doctors should give a prescription. I’m smiling. How many prescriptions have side effects???? Enough said.

Did the kitties show for dinner tonight. I wonder if they did, if they asked for seconds……

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎I had a major headache last night.
I took some meds and the next things I saw was daylight. The headache is one
and done. 😎🎈

I see all my cats except one and I am hoping he shows up today. We are at a blazing
34 degrees as I type this post. 🎈😎

Poppy and I went for a long walk this morning with the Sun out I could see the ice and snow.

I will see you at the top glad you and hubby had some good food. 💕

Enjoy some tea with your Manuka Honey. 🎈Oodie the cats ask for three servings and I gave it to them. 💕😎

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. 🎈😎 I am glad you like the coffee cups. Hey the thread
went belly up and I had HSN close it.

Welcome to the new Thread number 29 and I think you know I’ve had enough material
for 100 threads and I still do other threads. Taci this is year 11 of doing this thread.

This thread is not for everybody but most like to look. 😎

Loving the Birds today. 💕

Hey Happy and Safe Trails. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I hope you and your husband are feeling better. 💕😎🎈
Hang on warmer days are coming.

This has been a long winter for people in most States.

I am making the most out of it.

Sending warm hugs to you and Jake. 😘💕😎

Welcome to the new Thread. 😘🎈

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in Oz. The birds are so colorful and cute.🦜 We may get to the 40’s by Sunday.👏

Had a terrible night’s sleep with the coughing so I am dragging through the day doing this and that. Hubs picked up seafood and salad for dinner so I don’t have to cook.🍤🥗 I’ll probably be dozing by 8:00 tonight.😴

As always, thanks for the new thread. I told Poppy to cuddle up and keep his mom warm.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California wishing you a safe and warm day Kitten. 🎈😘😎
