@loaf,

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Here is to a safe day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Have fun with your shopping.

Enjoy your day. 🎈

@sheba2011

Had a great visit with hubby. He enjoyed a half of an egg salad sandwich wrap and some Breton veggie chips. I also brought sliced cantaloupe which he enjoyed as I was getting ready to return home. Why his food is still pureed is beyond my comprehension. The food I mentioned was not pureed, rather whole, though on the soft side. He was able to chew and swallow without a problem. I need to remember to bring a toothbrush and toothpaste with me tomorrow. His teeth need a good cleaning. I am surprised that no one follows up on this. Yes, I have mentioned it. Numerous times. Oh, how happy I will be when he is home.

I decided to make a stop at the Farmer’s Market. Tomatoes are on sale this week for $.99/lb. A nice sale this week. Looks like I will need to make another trip before the ad ends. Luckily they are only a couple of miles from home.

No rain in sight. 80s during the day and lovely 60s at night. Humidity is up there , 80-95%. You would think with the high humidity, some rain would fall. Nothing. And to think we are just weeks away from hurricane season. YIKES!!!!

@taci,

Good day in S. California. 🎈😎

I know this is one of your favorite colors. 😎

Happy Trails.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈Oz is a bit chilly today.

I am doing a little of this and that. I think you know how that goes. LOL!

This is on a happy note wishing your mother a nice Birthday Weekend. 🎈😎💕😘

Sad day watching the Pope and all the people say goodbye. 💕

Sending warmer hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

Hi in chilly Oz, we are the same. Went from windows open and ceiling fans on to the furnace running today. It will be in the 40s tomorrow morning when hubs goes golfing.🥶 It has been a crazy Spring so far.

Thanks for the mom birthday wishes. I will be thinking of you and dad tomorrow.💕 I hope you see some butterflies.🦋

Have a relaxing evening, lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten. All the best. 🎈😎

NATIONAL HUG A PLUMBER DAY

National Hug A Plumber Day on April 25th recognizes those who come to our rescue when pipes leak or drains are clogged.

NATIONAL ZUCCHINI BREAD DAY

Each year on April 25th each year, National Zucchini Bread Day encourages bakers to make this delicious bread.

Many explorers who came to the Americas brought back what they considered strange foods, including the zucchini. The zucchini eventually found its way to Italy, where it was named zucchino. Native Americans referred to zucchini as “something eaten raw.” However, we all know that zucchini tastes best cooked, especially in bread.

Zucchini bread is similar to other quick breads like banana bread. Other quick breads you might be familiar with making include muffins, scones, and biscuits. When baked, Zucchini and banana bread go into the oven in loaf pans. When finished, slice and serve with butter, peanut butter, jam, or just plain.

NATIONAL TELEPHONE DAY

On April 25th, we observe National Telephone Day. Around the world, there are 9.82 billion mobile phones. And while some predicted the landline to be obsolete by 2020, there are still about 931 million landlines around the world.

NATIONAL HISTORIC MARKER DAY

Historic markers all across the nation provide a glimpse into the past and preserve history for future generations. On the last Friday in April each year, National Historic Marker Day invites volunteers and communities to come together to maintain their markers. Unfortunately, weather and time take their toll on these small monuments to history. By working together, we not only ensure these markers tell the stories to future generations, but we also take the opportunity to celebrate the history and culture they preserve.

NATIONAL HAIRBALL AWARENESS DAY

Cat lovers have all been there. That onerous sound their cat makes when a hairball is on the rise. On the last Friday in April, National Hairball Awareness Day draws attention to a problem many cat lovers face.

The formation of hairballs is a common feline condition that is brought on by self-grooming and the associated ingestion of hair. Cats pass the hair through their digestive tract or will the hairball. If they don’t eliminate the hairball from their digestive track one way or the other, hairballs can create an obstruction. Obstructions can cause serious medical issues for a cat.

NATIONAL DNA DAY

On April 25th, people across the nation recognize National DNA Day. On this day in 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick formally announced their discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in a short letter published in the science journal, Nature.

NATIONAL ARBOR DAY

Trees afford us many pleasures. In the spring, their buds let us know warmer weather is on the way. Their summer leaves provide ample shade on a hot day. Have you ever joyfully jumped into a pile of crisp colorful leaves in the fall? And in the winter, tree branches offer shelter to wildlife for our viewing pleasure. Each year in April, National Arbor Day encourages us to celebrate and plant trees. The observance takes place each year on the last Friday in April.

@oodiebom,

@sheba2011

I didn’t see hubby today. I phoned the receptionist to let her know and bingo, one of the nurse’s phoned to make sure I was OK. It is actually a car problem. For some reason it will not start. Battery seems to be OK. I phoned Triple A around 4 pm and now it’s after 9 pm. Seems they only have a few people working on the weekend. After a phone call, they will be here in the am and will call before arriving. So I am working in the kitchen.

I saw hubby yesterday and his roommate was still there. He was quiet the entire time I was there. There are two social workers at the Rehab. One just started a 3 month maternity leave and the other seems to be in left field. He is new at the job and I suspect he will learn the ropes pretty quickly. There is still a high turnover of help. Have no idea what is going on. However, last night the helicopter was overhead when I left and it did follow me home. It hovered overhead until I retrieved the items from the back seat. I need to talk to my neighbor to see if she has anything to do with this. She does work as a Chaplain for the Sheriff’s Office.

That’s it for now. I hope to leave early tomorrow to visit Costco and then on to see hubby. Probably will stop at Culver’s for their homemade custard which we both enjoy. Have a great evening. What is rain??????

@oodiebom,

Good Evening good to hear from you. I hope KP will be one and done soon.

I hope it’s your neighbor who have that extra layer of security as you return home.

I would rest a bit tonight enjoy the shopping tomorrow. 😎🎈

This is gentle rain coming your way soon. 💕😎

@taci,

Sheba, Popping in to say hello. Hope you have a great weekend. I’m on a break from Social media and doing a few other things.
Wishing your Father happy heavenly birthday. I know you miss him.

@taci,

Good Evening and thank you for your thoughts on my father. 💕😎
I do miss him more than you will ever know. I know this is life.

I understand about needing and taking a break from social media.

Waving at ya. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎Oz had another rainy and stormy night. This was not as bad
as the night before. The animals all got feed even the possums came. LOL!

I am on and off the phone with my sister who lives in GA she has Covid. Shizzle!
Lady make sure hubby is alright with that cough that is how my sister started off.
This being Spring it could be anything.

Sis will test tomorrow to see if she is still positive. I am so glad our son was here when
Covid got her and two other people she knows. The Beast is still here.

I still mask up when I go to certain places.

Hey enjoy celebrating your mom’s birthday. 🎈😎💕😘 I will celebrate too.

Sending Spring Hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

@sheba2011

We had very little rain today, maybe more overnight and cooler tomorrow. It is humid so some storms may rumble up. Hopefully it will get rid of some of the pollen.

I told my husband to go to the doc’s but that is always last on his list.🙄 Keeps saying he will be fine. I know he won’t let me test him for Covid. Sure hope your sister gets over it quick. Seems everyone I talk to knows someone who is coughing.😷 Please tell me your SIL gets better each day.🙏

Went to mom’s this afternoon with a cake to celebrate early. Enjoyed dessert and a few laughs.😄 Sending an early Happy Birthday to your dad in heaven.🙏🥰

Plan to relax this evening and watch some hockey. Sending love and hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good evening you are so sweet I appreciate it all your kinds thoughts about my dad. 😘💕🎈

Lady enjoy your Hockey Games and enjoy this evening.

I hope your husband feels better soon. 💕

I hope your mother enjoyed this special Birthday. 💕

Sweet Dreams. 😘🎈💕 Happy wee bit early Birthday to your mother. 🎈😎

Celebrated across the world, the term often refers to a variety of different dishes. In the United States, Pigs-in-a-Blanket is often hot dogs or sausages wrapped in biscuit or croissant dough and baked. Pigs-in-a-Blanket are generally served as an appetizer or as breakfast.

NATIONAL TEACH CHILDREN TO SAVE DAY

Each year on the fourth Thursday in April, National Teach Children to Save Day encourages children to develop good saving habits.

Bankers across the country volunteer every year to teach children to save. Developing these habits at a young age creates a foundation for a lifetime of saving. Involving our children with a savings plan, and money management skills prepare them for a solid future. Parents should teach children about financial matters so that when they head out into the world they avoid pitfalls that can be financially devastating. With an early start on saving and an understanding of budgeting their money, children will have solid habits as they head into adulthood.

The day offers tools and resources through events across the country.

@loaf,

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie your post from last night was concerning.
Very alarming about he room mate your husband should not have to fear anyone in a place
like rehab where he is trying to get better and get the heck out of there.

Oodie keep a sharp eye out for anything too much is going on in this world. I trust very
few people period. I know not all people are not nefarious but I trust my gut instincts.

I hope you are able to get your husband away from the patient as soon as possible.
I would document everything the patient has done to hubby if something happens
it will be on them. Do what you have to do for the safety of your husband that is paramount.

This does not feel right as you have write how all his room mates have been. I have never
heard of anyone like him before.

I am saying a prayer of safety and well being. 💕Oodie let me know how things go today
I hope the person is remove from your husband and go no where near him.

Wishing you a good and safe day.

@taci,

Happy Trails. 🎈🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 💕😎 Lady when I was writing your post from last night all
Hades was breaking loose in OZ. I had my security camera near me and my computer
is near a window. All I could hear and see was hard rain, thunder and lightning.

Lady it was so loud Poppy got concerned I knew I had to shut off everything and make
sure things were unplugged. I have never heard thunder like that.

I was watching for the cats do you know that came to eat when the rain slowed down LOL!
I had to grab one the BB Guns and go after a racoon in the rain. The little critter would not
go away and was trying to eat the cats food. Rain or no rain I was not having any of it. I put
my Uggs Boots on and flew out the door. My husband was knocked out sleep. 💕
The Racoon did not come back after that and all the cats ate in peace. 😎 I am not to be
messed with and the animals know that. 😘

Wishing you a very nice day. 😘😎💕I had to leave once the rain started. Today Oz is
very nice and clean. 💕🎈

Sending spring hugs to you and Jake. 💕😎 I think some of our weather is heading your
way. Just put your head under the cover this too shall pass.

@sheba2011

Glad all is okay at your house after last night.😲 Mrs. Doolittle knows her s__t! Please be careful around those raccoons. Never know with rabies and/or babies.

It is very warm today, sunny and high in the mid-80s. Not sure if we will get that storm but rain is forecasted later tomorrow into Saturday morning.⛈ We usually get what you have had. Poor Poppy, I hope he has calmed down. My Jake shivered and shook.

We are going to wait until after Mom’s birthday to have her birthday dinner since my husband has a cough again and his golf league starts on Sunday. We will go up to see her either tomorrow or Saturday with gifts and a cake.🎁🎂

I sure hope you have a much better evening today. If all else fails, have one of these 🍷🍹🍸! Sending calm hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening your post made me ROFLOL! 😎Thank you I needed that laugh.
I am a little PO about something and it’s much ado about nothing. This too shall pass.

I don’t know what will hit us tonight I am making sure I keep my eyes on things.

Sorry your hubs have that cough again I hope you don’t catch it. 😎

Please be careful. 💕

Enjoy your evening I will be fine. 😎💕 The kids LOL when I told what I had to do.

I Love a Rainy Night
Song by Eddie Rabbitt ‧

Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightnin’ when it lights up the skies
You know it makes me feel good
Well, I love a rainy night
It’s such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain on my face
Taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadows
Showers wash all of my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
‘Cause I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
Ooh, ooh
I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightnin’ when it lights up the skies
You know it makes me feel good
Well, I love a rainy night
It’s such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain on my face
Taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadows
Puts a song in this heart of mine
Puts a smile on my face every time
‘Cause I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Ooh, I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Ooh, ooh
Showers wash all of my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
‘Cause I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
You can see it in my eyes
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, it makes me high
Ooh, I love a rainy night
You know I do
Yeah, yeah, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
You can see it in my eyes
I love a rainy night
Makes me high
Well, I love a rainy night
And I love you too
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night

Purple Rain
Song by Prince

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin’
It’s time we all reach out for something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader, but you can’t seem to make up your mind
And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain (ooh!)
If you know what I’m singin’ about up here, come on, raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you, only want to see you in the purple rain

Good day in Ohio wishing you a wonderful Spring. 🎈💕😎

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida here is to a nice Spring for you and hubby. 😎💕🎈
Drop a line when you can. Enjoy your fresh rolls and coffee. 💕

@Oddiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎Oodie our son made it out and is home. 😎🎈
We enjoyed this short visit and we knew it would be short but what a wonderful visit. 💕

I am wishing you much luck on your many projects. Very concerned about the room mate
not cool is so out of control. I hope all eyes are on him for a bit.

Here is to a safe and wonderful day. Oodie I hope you get the answers you are looking
for with all your endeavors.

@sheba2011

Just made it home after being with hubby. The roommate last night was horrible. Today I contacted Social Services within the Rehab and let them know what was going on. I asked that the roommate be sent to another room or to another facility. Tonight hubby admitted to me that he is afraid of this guy and I let the staff know. The night supervisor was present and I reiterated the message. This is the first time hubby has ever felt non secure in any way or fashion. This has never happened in all our married years. There are no other patients in this rehab that act this way or ever acted this way in the years hubby has been a patient. His first roommate was a person who was released from prison after spending most of his life in a cell for murder. He turned out to be the kindest person and very helpful. He left after someone befriended him an apartment nearby. There were others who came and went home and others who have passed on. All were wonderful until now. So that is the update and there will be more to come in the next 24 hours.

Nice that you were able to enjoy the long weekend with your son. Surprises are always good and so much fun. I’m sure Poppy had the best time ever. Also good that you and your son were able to visit your dad. I am sure he was there with you both. This week is particularly hard on you and it really never ends. Just gets a bit easier to bear. Take care of yourself, that is the most important.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Oz is fine with rain. 💕😎 I think tomorrow will be a very
rainy day and I am fine with that.

April Showers bring May Flowers. 💕🎈😎

Wishing you happy trails. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈💕Oz is having some gentle rain right now.
Tomorrow will be another story.

Our son made it home safe on his flight back to GA. 💕🎈😎We knew this was a short
trip but what a good time we had. 💕😘

Thank you for your thoughts on my father. 😘💕

I am doing this and that today just one of those days. LOL!

I have a load of laundry to do for starters. I am making plans for planting and such.

Sending Spring Hugs to you and Jake. 😘💕😎🎈 Sending love to your mom and sister. 🎈

@sheba2011

Wow, such beautiful flowers, wish they were all in my house.💐

Doing a little of this and that today also. Ran to Hallmark to load up on some cards for the next couple months. Got me some small soaps and mom a wristlet since she doesn’t carry purses much anymore.🧼👛 Birds Eye is helping me make a quick dinner.

Glad all went well with your son’s trip home.✈ Too much happening in the air lately.

Another beautiful day, we will be getting some of your rain Friday/Saturday. Sending flower bouquet hugs to you and the Poppy man.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening we are in a storm here in OZ. I mean it is a hard one.
i am getting off the computer now.

I want to wish you a good night.

I am out. Sweet Dreams.

What about sunrise?
What about rain?
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain?
What about killing fields?

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio and Happy Earth Day. 💕😎🎈

@xango,

Good day in Florida I hope you and hubby are doing well. Enjoy Earth Day which
is everyday. 🎈😎💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I hope you and hubby are doing alright.
Oz is beautiful today after all the rain. 💕😎🎈

I do hope you have had a bit of rain. Let me know how you are doing when you have
time. 🎈

@sheba2011

The kitchen is beginning to look good. I ordered a NuWave Induction burner and it arrived today. I think hubby will enjoy using it since our stove may be too high for him to reach in a wheelcha It will also be good therapy for his hands. Just don’t tell him (LOL).

I’m still trying to reach Lowes on the stovetop. Don’t they have anyone to answer the phones????
I need the serial number and model number. Since it isn’t anywhere on the front or sides, it may be on the back. I will not pull this thing out. What a hassle to locate those two numbers.

Hubby’s roommate is still making waves. The nurses are concerned that he may try to attach my husband. I will definitely make another phone call tomorrow. Meanwhile, on my way out, I heard him screaming for water. The aides do not cater to him as they are well aware of what is going on.

Still waiting for the decorator to come out and to take final measurements for the walk-in shower. I also asked for samples of the tile. The answer I received was that he will send the info to my e-mail. I tried to explain that my hubs cannot tell from a picture. He actually likes to see everything in person. Besides, without glasses, he will not be able to see an e-mail. The decorator has already been told. In one ear and out the other.

I was able to make a brief stop at the Farmer’s Market. In just one week the prices have doubled and the fruit, tripled. There was no cantaloupe or honeydew anywhere. No even outside. The parking lot was full, but the inside of the store emptied. I surmise the customers either went for takeout or to the Dollar Tree. Very disappointed. Hmm. Wonder if they know that I am planning on a return to the North. Maybe that’s why. Guess it is time to cut down.

Hope everything is OK with xango

Sorry to see your son leave so soon. Wish him a safe flight from me. Hope the weather will not be a problem. Still no rain here, not even a drop. I wonder if the rise in Volcanic activity will have any effect on our weather??? Time will tell. On that note, have a great evening.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Here is to a nice Earth Day. 🎈😎

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in Oz. Very nice, comfortable day here, sun and around 70.🌞

Thanks for my favorite drink last night, it hit the spot!!!🍸 This hockey season was one to forget but I am enjoying the start of the playoffs. Your family’s Colorado team looks good.🏒

@shoelady60,

Good evening I want to say thank you for remembering my father. I said April was a hard
month and now the Pope is gone. Very bittersweet.

Our son leaves tomorrow and I am so glad he came for this visit. 💕😎All the kids
will be back we are planning that. The girls wanted to help with my brother’s wife
and their two young kids. 💕If I taught my kids it’s to always help family and animals.

The family are all in for the Hockey Playoff you know they are. LOL!

Hey thanks for spending a little time with me. Enjoy your evening. I will do a birthday
Gallery for your mom just something short and sweet. 💕🎈

Glad you had a wonderful Easter. Me, hubs, mom and sis enjoyed our time together.

Sad to hear about the Pope this morning.😔 Although he was 88, he always seemed like a modern Pope to me and a kind man.

Thanks for the drinks last night. Except for the first one, which looks like a whiskey drink, I will try one of each, whatever my bartender wants to make.😄🍸🍷🍹

Have fun while your son is here, hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

EASTER

Easter is observed on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox. Considered Christianity’s most important holy day, it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Depending on which calendar a church follows, some will celebrate the holiday earlier than others.

Leading up to Easter Sunday is an entire season of observances beginning with Ash Wednesday, Lent’s official beginning. Lent is a time of fasting and reflection, which represents the time Jesus spent in the wilderness for 40 days. Many know this as a time when Christians give something up for Lent.

Then during Holy Week, the Sunday before Easter is known as Palm Sunday. It commemorates Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem on a donkey just five days before the Romans crucified Him. Maundy Thursday remembers Jesus’s last supper; Good Friday is the day of the crucifixion; Holy Saturday is the period between the crucifixion and the resurrection; and Easter Sunday.
