@loaf,

@xango,

Welcome to a new week and may all be well with you and your family. 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Sending you a Monday Shout Out.

The HSN Site is a bit wonky today. I really have to play with it and you know I do
a lot on this thread. 😎

OZ has one more round of thunderstorms. 😎 I am fine with that.

I hope you are able to do all the things you need to do today. Glad the ankle is healing.

Here’s to a new week. I hubby is able to eat solid food soon. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

I did a bit of this and that today. I finally tackled the front door area. Tons of boxes that were just waiting to be opened and put away. Didn’t do any KP. Did laundry of items needed in case of a hurricane. It felt good to make another small dent. Wednesday I will be tackling the carport. Cannot wait to put the new outdoor carpet down. I will using Dawn on the house and floor. Yes, we do have a power washer and it will certainly help with removing dirt and debris from the front door and steps. It will look like a brand new house and area when completed. Now looking for a three/four seat sofa to make the conversation area complete.

The humidity is back with a vengeance. Leaving to see hubby, the skies were darkening, but the humidity was down. Leaving the rehab around 8 pm you could cut the air quality with a knife. It was bad. Guess we will be back to the mid 90s and high humidity for the rest of the week. Rain is expected.

I was browsing Amazon yesterday and came across an item that I finally purchased 12 hours after hemming and hawing all that time. It’s a 50″ pole that has a hook attachment for enabling a person to go into their closet and take out an item or two by the hanger. Hubby’s closet does have a pole that is easy to get to when standing. I thought this device would come in handy.

The ramp will be aluminum. However, though it is easy to take a part and put elsewhere, it may not be something we would want. I started thinking about it a few days ago when we were having over 90 degree temps. Even though the carport gives us plenty of shade, the humidity may be a factor. I am thinking that hands could get burnt while holding on to the railings. Not sure if this will be feasible. Trex is a good alternative, but extremely costly. I will be checking this out with the decorator.

@taci,

Good day in S. California. Enjoy your planning and good luck. 😎🎈
Up Up and Away.

Happy Trails where ever they may lead you. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈Hope this day finds you doing very well.
Oz is a bit cloudy and one more round of storms.

I just love Monday. LOL! 🎈😎

The site is a bit wonky for me. I am keeping it moving today.

Here is to a nice day for you and hubs. 🎈😘💕

Sending a Monday Shout Out to you and Jake. 💕

@sheba2011

Happy Monday to you. We haven’t had rain for 12 days which is unusual. I don’t mind except for the grass turning brown. We had too much in May and June with all the flood warnings.🌧

I had trouble on here yesterday, kept getting the 400 error whenever I put an item number in search.🙄 Sorry, I can’t get into Christmas right now, too many other holidays coming first. Everything is so rushed and turns me off. I guess it’s good for large families.🎄

Hope your storms are over for a couple days. Sending lots of hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening OZ is very comfortable tonight. The rain helped. 😎🎈The heat is
still on here and the Dog Days of Summer will return.

I am going to take a Korres Bath. 💕😎

Just playing a little music as I go about feeding the cats.

Just a little something to keep you cool.

Sweet Dreams my friend. 💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten. Happy BD coming up soon. 🎈💕😘

White Rabbit
Song by Jefferson Airplane

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
He called Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

DARE

Paranoid – Featuring Mr. Hudson

She really thought that? (Yeah)
Yeah, she’s so paranoid (Yeah, that’s good, paranoid)
Girls gonna love this song, haha
Why are you so paranoid? (Hahahaha)
Don’t be so paranoid, don’t be so

Baby, don’t worry ’bout it
Hey there, don’t even think about it
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things

Tell me right now
You really wanna spend your whole life alone?
A little time out might do you good
Might do us good ‘fore we be done for good
‘Cause I could make it good, I could make it hood
I can make you come, I can make you go
I can make you high, I can make you fly
Make you touch the sky, hey, maybe so
All of the time
You be up in mine checkin’ through my cell phone, baby, no
You wanna kill the vibe on another night
Here’s another fight, oh, here we go (Oh, here we go)

Baby, don’t worry ’bout it
Lady, we’ll go out to the floor
Anyway, they don’t know you (They don’t know) like I do
They’ll never know you (Never know)
Anyway, they don’t know you (Never know) like I do
They’ll never know you

All of the time
You wanna complain about the nights alone
So now you’re here with me, show some gratitude
Leave the attitude way back at home
Yeah, you see ’em look
Baby, let ’em look, give ya cold looks ’cause we look cold
Yeah, you heard about all the word of mouth
Don’t worry ’bout what we can’t control
All the talk in the world lost in the world
‘Til you finally let that thing go
You wanna check into the heartbreak hotel
But sorry, we’re closed

Baby, don’t worry about it
Baby, we’ll go out to the floor
Anyway (Hey) they don’t know you (To the floor) like I do (Hey)
They’ll never know you (Never know)
Anyway, they don’t know you (They don’t know) like I do
They’ll never know you
[Refrain: Kanye West]
Baby, don’t worry ’bout it
Baby, don’t even think about it
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry ’bout the wrong things, the wrong things
You worry ’bout the wrong things

Anyway, they don’t know you like I do
They’ll never know you
Anyway, they don’t know you like I do
They’ll never know you

AGENT ORANGE AWARENESS DAY

Each year on August 10, Agent Orange Awareness Day presents opportunity to provide information regarding the effects of Agent Orange. It also serves as a reminder of the lasting damage a single decision can cause.

In the early 1960s, Americans used the herbicide in Vietnam to clear thick foliage from battlegrounds to eliminate the enemy’s protective ground cover. The use of Agent Orange impacted U.S. troops and the Vietnamese troops and civilians. It cost hundreds of thousands of lives and continues to impact survivors today.

Woven into the fabric of this state’s historic landscape, we find revolutionaries, innovators, and philosophers. On August 10th, National Connecticut Day recognizes the contributions of the fifth state to join the United States of America.

On August 10, 2025, a stunning planetary alignment will unfold in the early morning sky as six planets—Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, , Neptune, and Saturn—line up just before sunrise. This rare event, often referred to as a planetary parade, will feature four bright planets—Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn—clearly visible to the naked eye. The more distant and Neptune will also be part of the alignment but will require binoculars or a small telescope to observe. Visible about an hour before sunrise, this cosmic display offers a beautiful and accessible moment for skywatchers around the world to witness the Solar System’s harmony.

@loaf,

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎So glad your ankle is better.

Oodie we are storming here so I will check back in later. 😎

Enjoy the day. 🎈

@sheba2011

Our rain event will beginning soon. One inch plus is expected. I drove home yesterday while lightning was in the air. Surprised to see kids on bikes wearing dark clothes with no lights. Thankfully, I was driving very slow. This is why I leave while the sun is still in the sky or there is a sunset lingering in the West. Tomorrow is the first day of school here. Surprised to learn that it will be a full day. Usually it has been a couple of half days. Our 90 degrees + start again tomorrow along with rain. Will be doing some odds and ends today before seeing hubby. I turn our A/C and computer completely off either before I leave or just prior to the storms. Stay safe.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening we are having a thunder storm so I am going to make sure everything
is charged. Hey be careful with those kids out there. I brought 2 Mac Pros for some
family members going back to school and they are in College. 😎🎈

I can’t wait to see Heidi Daus next month. 💕😎

Glad you are up and about. YAY! This is OZ tonight.

@taci,

Good day in S. California. 🎈😎💕 Enjoy making your plans.

OZ is raining right now with thunderstorms on the way.

Just chill for today. 😎🎈💕

Sheba,Good to hear your sister and SIL are doing well.

Those Thunderstorms are scary. When my parents moved us to WI and I awoke to them almost everyday in the summer. Then it becomes normal for me.
Hope your weather isn’t too bad and that the cats (kids) are doing ok.
Hello to Poppy.
Planning the trip is not really that fun. Hubs said pick some cities, give him a list. I did. Apparently it was wrong. lol. I tried to be easy about it and picked smaller cities in a row for a drive lol. Anyways, then I gave him some more $$$$$ cities. That oughta do it… 🙂 All in good fun.
Heidi’s hiking trip is so incredibly awesome. I told my son about it. Asked my husband to do it and he’s like maybe a little hike but no more than 5 miles. hahah. Heidi did a great hike and I’m happy for her.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. OZ is dark and rainy and I love it. 💕🎈😎

We have thunderstorms off and on.

Mr. Poppy and I have been out and about it was fun.

We are eating light today I still don’t feel like eating.

Wishing you a nice Sunday another doing this and that day. LOL! 😎💕

Sending very cool vibes to you and Jake. 💕😎😘

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in stormy Oz. Sunny and warm here.🌞🔥 Made a quick run to the store this morning and being lazy most of the day. Making chicken marsala with rice for dinner.

That lemon water looks so good.🍋 I had an urge for lemonade last week so I bought a 76oz. jug and it is almost all gone. Tasted so good so I will probably get some more. I’ll need it for the hot week ahead.

Enjoy your Sunday, you and Poppy tip-toe through the puddles. Sending hugs.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening you are so funny. 😎💕OZ will be warm next week after tonight’s Storm.
I am fine with that. Poppy and I were going through puddles. LOL!

I Will Always Love You
Song by Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go, but I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, you, mm-mm
Bittersweet memories
That is all I’m taking with me
So goodbye, please don’t cry
We both know I’m not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you’ve dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you
You
Darling, I love you
Ooh, I’ll always, I’ll always love you

@loaf,

@xango,

Good Day in Florida. 🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie how is the ankle doing today?
If it is all one and done that is a good thing.

Very warm in OZ so I am keeping cool with hubs and Poppy. 🎈😎

Let me know how things go today and no heavy lifting. 🎈

@sheba2011

The ankle is better. Not 100%, but getting there. I never received a call from the pharmacy so I surmise our physician worked two days last week and took the rest of the week off. I will make another call tomorrow. Just a bit or maybe a tad angry that nothing was done after my appointment. This is not the way our physician has treated us in the past. He was always there when needed. Today, though, I could walk without limping. Thanks to a couple of aspirin and an antibiotic ointment I was actually able to walk briskly up the long stretch of hallway to hubby’s room. He blinked several times noticing my agility.

Hubby had just finished dinner when I arrived. We had a great time and though I was late in seeing him, he still h ad a huge smile. I left after 8 pm because of a storm that was coming. We had over an inch yesterday. Not sure what today’s event brought. Just thankful it wasn’t a hurricane. Tomorrow, more rain is in the forecast. Just as long as there is no thunder and lightning I will leave earlier than today.

Enjoy the moon. Too much cloud cover to see the moonlight. We need the rain. So will not be complaining. Good night and pleasant dreams.

@taci,

Good day in S. California enjoy the day. Oz is very warm. I am taking my time today.

Taci if I lived in your area this is what I would be doing often. 🎈💕😎
My niece lives in your City and she sends me the most beautiful pictures
of her having fun with her friends. 😎💕🎈

Happy Hiking Trails To You. 😎🎈💕

Sheba, Hello, Glad your niece loves the area. It is very pretty by the water.
Otherwise, It’s a mess in many ways. Who needs the pot shops, and vape shops and their smoke everywhere. I got a good dose of something yesterday. We would leave the State but our son is here so unless he moves out of State we are most likely staying. We will still move somewhere as we need more space.
We are still planning our trip so I have been home today. Hopefully i’ll get out soon.

@taci,

Good Evening OZ have thunderstorms on the way. The weather reports says we will have
some flooding. All this will occur overnight. I am about to charge up everything as we
sometimes lose power. 😎I fully intend to be sleep during this event. LOL!

I would not leave without my child either our situation was just the opposite the kids
left us. No worries when the time is right for us we may join them.

My sister and SIL are doing very good. 😎😎😘

Here is to a nice peaceful evening. 💕🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. OZ is rather warm today. I am multi-tasking doing a little of
this and that. LOL! 💕🎈😎

Hubs is home today so I have little projects for him to do. 💕🎈

I know you are so proud of niece. 😘💕I think Golfing is in her DNA.

Kick back and enjoy. 😘🎈💕

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 🎈😎💕

Shoelady, Congratulations to your niece with golf! Way to go!

@sheba2011

Hi in hot Oz, that will start here tomorrow.🔥 Spent the afternoon at mom’s eating cheese and chips.🧀 Made some spaghetti for dinner.🍝 So that’s about all I did today – eat!!

Stay cool this evening, I will find something quenching to drink while flipping through the channels.🧉🥤 Sending big Leo hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening Lady OZ is very warm tonight with thunderstorms on the way. 😎
Bring it on I will be sleeping Poppy will be right by our bed. 💕 The Storms does
both him and I am so glad.

I think you had a mighty fine day. We are in the dog days of summer. Hubby and I went
out and about for part of the day.

I am feeding the cats and they are coming they know what is coming in the night.

Here is to a nice cool comfortable evening. 💕😎

@kittengirl,

Good day in California wishing you a nice upcoming BD. 💕😎🎈

Look around, everywhere you turn is heartache
It’s everywhere that you go (look around)
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know (life that you know)
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It’s called a dance floor
And here’s what it’s for, so
Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body move to the music (move to the music)
Hey, hey, hey

So use it, that’s what it’s for (that’s what it’s for)
Go inside for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door (open up the door)
It makes no difference if you’re black or white
If you’re a boy or a girl
If the music’s pumping it will give you new life
You’re a superstar
Yes, that’s what you are, you know it
Come on, vogue (vogue)
Let your body groove to the music (groove to the music)
Hey, hey, hey

SNEAK SOME ZUCCHINI INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR’S PORCH DAY

Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbor’s Porch Day on August 8 offers gardeners a way to rid themselves of extra produce. For some, this day offers a way to rid their garden of an overproducing squash plant.

“They rejected me as an Olympic skater… so I ended up dressing the world’s most iconic brides.”
As a little girl, I dreamed of the ice.
I trained endlessly, hoping to one day represent the U.S. in figure skating.
But at 19, I was told I wasn’t good enough.
That sentence shattered me.
My identity, my dream — gone in an instant.
I felt lost, like everything I’d worked for had vanished.
But instead of giving up, I did something harder.
I reinvented myself. ✂️❄️
I started at the bottom — as an assistant editor at Vogue.
I worked there for 17 years, until one day, at 40 years old, with zero design experience…
I made my first wedding dress.
Why? Because I couldn’t find one I liked for myself.
People thought I was crazy to start that late.
But I knew something inside me was ready to be unleashed.
So I launched my first collection — afraid, uncertain… but full of vision.
At first, no one noticed.
But then brides started falling in love with my work.
And today, I’ve designed gowns for Victoria Beckham, Ariana Grande, the Kardashians — and countless others.
All because one door closed…
and I built another one with my own hands. 💥💍
“Failure didn’t stop me… it redirected me.”
— Vera Wang
⏳💡 There’s no such thing as “too late.”
Only the courage to begin — even if no one claps at first.

Sheba, this is an interesting post.

@taci,

I like interesting people and how they came to be the way they are.
I know it takes true grit to do anything in life that you enjoy. 😎

I try not to go for the negative so much I like to also look at people and things
that are uplifting to the human spirit. ❤️🎈😎

@sheba2011

Hi and a good afternoon to you. I know yesterday was a difficult one for you. I have not been able to visit my parents graves in many years. Not because we are in Florida, but mainly the area has changed from being a retail one to one of sheer terror. There are now gangs, guns, knives, etc.. The graveyard is now completely fenced in and I will need to call ahead with a day, time and date so that the gates would be opened and someone nearby to make us feel safe. To think, this area was where my dad’s first pharmacy was (a hole in the wall), not much bigger than an Asian Market would be in NYC.. There was a five and dime and other stores nearby. I have no idea what is there now. Very sad how neighborhoods change over the years.

Yesterday I stopped at an Asian takeout that is near me. The place was jammed pack. I put in an order for spareribs on the bone for me and the receptionist at the Rehab. It was on me. It was exciting watching her face lift up when she opened the package or rather the plastic container. These receptionists work from 9am until 6:30pm. They do not get a regular break or mealtime. The new person works from 7:30 am until either 7:30pm or 8pm.. They are not supposed to eat or nibble while on duty, but they do when they can. If one is not on there are no takers to fill the void. This is one reason why I call in. If no one is on the desk the door remains locked and only opened in emergency situations. Right now there are only two working the desk. I feel one or two more would be sufficient as backups.

Weather wise I do not feel we will be seeing the moon anytime soon. We have a 93% chance for rain within the next half hour and a 90% chance through the weekend. I do not dare complain. We are in a drought situation and I say “bring it on.”

All the plants have now been planted. I will begin the cleanup either tomorrow or Sunday. It depends upon when I get started for the day. I think UPs will be happy to see a clean area after making a mess of potting soil, etc.. I will now be able to unpack one of the new rugs for this area. I just hope there are no hurricanes in the forecast. Removing everything will be a huge task. LOL

@oodiebom,

Good Evening Oodie how is your ankle doing and I hope you have all your meds.
Very warm evening in OZ I have many family members with birthdays all month. 🎈❤️

What good book are you reading. I am going to the library which I love to do and get
some books and get caught up on they even have classic movies all for free.

I grew up on books no telly unless it was Walt Disney or something educational.

I hope you had a good day and please no lifting those plants can wait. I do know how
you feel I am a one and done girl. 😎 Oodie I hope you good some good rain.

Today is international cat day. 😎❤️😘 I think a little one in your home will be wonderful.
Hey no walking outside I don’t mind because I do walk. I feel a cat will be easier for you
and hubby. ❤️😎Here’s to a good evening.

@oodiebom,

Is this the ring you are looking for? If so it is available in sizes 5-10.

Hopes this help.

902-335
Bellezza Bronze Hammered Openwork Wide Band Ring

@sheba2011

Yes, that is the ring. Since the day it was reduced in price it has stated unavailable in size…It did not matter which size you moused over. It all stated the same thing. Since making the announcement of the move to PA, there have been images missing along with descriptions. In other cases incorrect item numbers or info or both. Very disheartening to say the least. I have kept quiet for the most part since most of the people may be new and thus have never been employed in TV or other forms of communication on the web.

@taci,

Good day in S. California I did read your post from last night. I think your Jeans
are still cool to this day. 😎🎈💕I still have older pieces that can stand the test
of time. I have a lot of Terry Lewis and Diane von Furstenberg. I love her dresses
and no one can make a dress like her. Those were the good ole days. 💕

Enjoy the trails. 😎🎈

Sheba, Always wanted one of those Diane Von F. wrap dresses. At work I usually wore suits to clients and the rest was business casual then it went in-house (no client visits) and completely casual. I never wore shorts but was in shock when I noticed someone in them. That wasn’t the dress code even though it was casual. Good to know my jeans are still ok. Sometimes I wonder. lol. 🙂
Cool you saw Greta Garbo when Modeling in NY. You have a fashionable life for sure.
Hope it cools down soon. I looked up the hike Heidi Daus is doing and it looks fun!
She has some great adventures.

Adding for anyone interested that these soaps are on sale and free shipping.

good doing a bath or shower. ❤️

Good day in the ‘burgh. I am super multi-tasking today. 🎈😎

Yeah a lot of this and that.

Lady how are you doing today?

Oz is very hot I do mean Hot as Hades. LOL!

Here is something fun to have on a hot day like today. 😎💕😘❤️

Sending Cool Vibes to you and Jake. ❤️😘

@sheba2011

A lot of this and that at my house also, taking it slow. 90+ starts Sunday so the heat is on again.🔥

Your birthday celebration is over in my house – all the cake is gone!!🎂🎈

My niece set a school record with her round of golf yesterday, so proud.👍

Have a cool drink, give Poppy one, too. Sending hugs.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening OZ is already in the 90’s. These are what I call the Dog Days of Summer. 😎

Remember when we are in the deep freeze of Winter with no power and lots of ice and snow
I will long for a hot summer day. 🎈❤️

I love something like these on these warm summer nights. 😎😘💕

Enjoy your evening and sweet dreams. I also want to congratulate your niece
for a super Game. 💕😘😎 Well done sweetie.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a great Friday. 😎🎈

Sheba, If you can wear these then WOW. They would kill my feet.
They are lovely as are the one’s below. Yah, next life with the Turquoise outfit. 🙂

@taci,

I am so use to people actually chasing me to see how I wear my heels.
People would stop me on the street I was the total package.

I had a lady chase me up an incline street she actually had to touch my shoes she could not believe it. LOL!

Being a former model helps. 😎

Taci the only woman I could not keep up with was the Legendary Greta Garbo yeah she was in Central Park West
and I forgot I had my camera she took off like nobody business we did a dance for all of 30 seconds but I clearly
saw her beautiful face I can believe a young kid let a lady out run her and she did. Greta never wanted you to take
her picture. 😎

@loaf,

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good Afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎 Oodie I hope you have your
medicine by now. Please be careful on that ankle.

Oz had light rain now we have the sun. 😎This is the day my dad passed during Covid
it was a hard day. I am dealing with the grief.

Oodie let me know how things go for you today.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈I hope you are loving your JK pieces.
Taci my niece lives in Springfield, MO not far from Brad Pitt’s Family Home.
Brad lost his mother Jane yesterday. So sad I know several of his friends.

We use to be neighbors I know this is going to be hard on them as they are some
of his best friends he taught one of them how to drive and both a husband and wife
lived with him when he moved to California what interesting stories they had to tell.

I know the town is going to be flooded with some celebrities. My niece has lived
there for a long time she went to school there and now works there.

This is the day I lost my father and I am just having memories of him and his memories
to me are a blessing. 💕😘

I hope you will feel better after this thing with your shall we say friend is over.
Please don’t sweat it.

Enjoy the trails I am going on a long one just to clear my head. 😎💕

Sheba, sad about another death, Brad Pitts Mother. You do have a lot of relatives. I think that is great. Losing a parent is never easy. I know today was hard for you too.

Well I am sweating it. But I just can’t continue as I don’t want to look like I condone the person’s behavior. I’m realizing I’m healthy as an introvert lol.
The Pendant arrived early, Wednesday. It’s big for me but my husband seems to like it and so I ‘ll most likely keep it. It is lovely as are the earrings. I’ve been wearing the earrings a lot.
My Colleen Lopez mop flower earrings and necklace are about a decade old and I wear them a lot in the summer. I was complemented by a young man the other day and it was adorable. I think he is a flower person or from HI.
Regarding the Jeans above, I have to laugh because I still wear my Vince Camuto and G by Guilliana Jeans ( 1st round before she changed manufacturers) which are straight leg and they are also over a decade old. I think they are still in fashion?????

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😘💕😎Oz is alright today we had light rain and now the sun.
I went to my father’s gravesite early this morning and put fresh flowers out. I said a
prayer and sat for a while. 💕

I am at peace now and I know my father is too no more pain.

Lady the feelings come and go in waves. I know this too shall pass one day.

Wishing you and Jake a cool and peaceful day. 😘🎈💕

@sheba2011

🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏 Try to take it easy this evening. Your dad will never be forgotten, just like my dad. Sending love.💕💕

@shoelady60,

Good evening and thank you for keeping me and my family in prayer.
I will be just fine I am just laying low for now.

Oz is a bit warm tonight going to take a Perlier Shower and just chill. 💕😎😘

Sweet Dreams. 💕

@kittengirl,

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

I know your birthday is coming up fast. 🎈😎
