Conversation 34

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

Happy Holidays and enjoy your shopping.

Within every soul lies a garden of silent blossoming. When life presses you against its cold walls, spread your inner wings….for even a single breath of courage can turn your wounds into petals

NATIONAL GAZPACHO DAY

National Gazpacho Day, on December 6th, recognizes a flavorful soup that cooks serve cold. This typically tomato-based vegetable soup originated in the southern Spanish region of Andalucia. Gazpacho is widely consumed in Spanish cuisine, usually during the summer months.

NATIONAL PAWNBROKERS DAY

Each year on December 6th, National Pawnbrokers Day pays tribute to a profession that provides a valuable service to their clientele. Those who are in need of cash funds and also those looking for a reasonably good deal seek the services of pawnbrokers.

NATIONAL MINER’S DAY

National Miner’s Day honors the contributions of miners across the country. Additionally, the day reflects on their sacrifices and offers time to show appreciation to the mining country’s hard-working individuals.

SAINT NICHOLAS DAY

On December 6th, Saint Nicholas Day recognizes the third-century saint who became an inspiration for the modern-day Santa Claus.

MITTEN TREE DAY

On December 6th, Mitten Tree Day celebrates the gift of warmth. It’s a day to collect mittens, hang them on a Christmas tree, and then hand them out to those in need.

Those who live in cold climates understand the necessity of mittens. This winter clothing item is essential for keeping the hands warm while outdoors. Unfortunately, however, there are many children around the world who are without adequate winter clothing, which includes mittens.

NATIONAL PLAY OUTSIDE DAY

The first Saturday of every month is National Play Outside Day. This National Day presents opportunity to remind everyone to get outside and enjoy the fresh air through play.

Skywarn Recognition Day

The observance recognizes the vital public service contributions that Amateur Radio operators make during National Weather Service severe weather warning operations. It also strengthens the bond between Amateur Radio operators and the local National Weather Service.

Around the country, nearly 290,000 Skywarn® weather spotters volunteer their time. They identify severe weather that could potentially affect life and property. Spotters warn the National Weather Service of the threat of thunderstorms, tornados, and floods.

Skywarn® spotters complete training through a variety of formats and communicate through amateur radio. As members of their community, they’re vital resources both locally and on a national basis.

NATIONAL MICROWAVE OVEN DAY

On December 6th, National Microwave Oven Day honors one appliance that changed how we use the kitchen.

Quite by accident, self-taught American engineer Percy Spencer discovered a way to heat food safely with microwaves. While working with an active radar in 1945, he noticed a melting chocolate bar in his pocket. The high-powered microwave beams created a heating effect ideal for cooking. Spencer deliberately attempted cooking popcorn with the microwaves. Next, he tried cooking an egg. Both the popcorn and the egg created dramatic results. However, the popcorn resulted in success, unlike the egg. The egg exploded in his fellow engineer’s face! However, we can cook eggs in microwave ovens. Try poaching one.

Hope you had a good day. Spent the afternoon at mom’s. Her next doctor’s appointment is on Wednesday. Maybe they’ll take the brace off her arm, we shall see.

Thanks for the hockey shoutout.🏒 Right now they are holding their own. Lots of games left. I’ll be watching the Kingdom tomorrow night, keeping my fingers crossed.🤞 Saw a couple pictures of the holiday decorations at 1587 – looks lovely!🎄

Sending a toast to your good health.🥂 Big hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Good morning in California and Happy Holidays. 😎🎈

Eurythmics Lyrics
“Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on
Keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on
Keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on
Keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something

I love this song there are several HSN Vendors in this Video/Song. 🎈

We Are the World
Song by U.S.A. for Africa

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
Well, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
When you’re down and out, and there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe, there’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There is a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
Alright, let me hear you
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (said, we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a brighter day
Just you and me, come on now, let me hear you
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me, yeah, yeah
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
And we’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the world (one world)
We are the children (our children)
We are the ones who’ll make a brighter day
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me
We are the world, we are the world (we are the world)
We are the children, yes, sir (we are the children)
We are the ones that make a brighter day (we are the world)
So let’s start giving (so let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day, just you and me (ooh-ooh, dear, God)
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones that make a brighter day, so let’s start giving
Alright, can you hear what I say? (So let’s start giving)
There’s a choice we’re making, we’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day

Where Did Your Heart Go?
Song by Wham! / George Michael

I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where Sally prays
Come down sometime
We’ll share a rusty can of corn, yeah
And listen to the radio
“I love you, I love you”, it says
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
You cried but I don’t know how
I’ve heard it all before
There it goes again
The slamming of the door
Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says, “Put your troubles down beside me”
Things have always been the same
And rock ‘n’ roll won’t teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into this beauty
And drifted out of sight
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?
Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train?
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?

What a Wonderful World
Song by Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes

Here’s to the Season. 🎈

BATHTUB PARTY DAY

Bathtub Party Day encourages us all to skip the ordinary shower and linger in the tub instead. On December 5th, add some suds to the tub and pamper yourself.

NATIONAL REPEAL DAY

On December 5th, National Repeal Day commemorates the day Prohibition ended in the United States.

NATIONAL BACK FRIDAY

National Back Friday is celebrated each year on the Friday after Black Friday! This annual celebration is a movement to prioritize self-care and find that moment of aaaaahh in a season usually full of holiday stress!

FAUX FUR FRIDAY

Faux Fur Friday, observed on the first Friday in December, provides a stylish way to wear and buy faux fur.

Also known as fake fur, the textile made its debut in 1929. Initially made from alpaca wool, faux fur increased in quality as synthetic fibers became available. The fibers not only allowed for more variety and texture, but they also provided warmth. While the neo fur didn’t breath as well as animal fur, nor did it insulate as well, it lasted longer. Animal fur required refrigeration to avoid degrading.

Whether you call it fake, imitation or simulated, faux fur has found a place in fashion. Designers use it as an accent on clothing. They also create decor and entire ensembles. Faux fur comes in every color imaginable, too.

NATIONAL BARTENDER DAY

National Bartender Day recognizes the servers who not only know every cocktail in the book but who also tend to be some of the best listeners around. Also known as National Bartender Appreciation Day, the observance takes a day to raise a toast to the men and women working the late nights. Their minds contain an index of creative cocktails and mixed drinks to quench their patron’s thirst.

NATIONAL SACHER TORTE DAY

If you like chocolate and you like cake, then National Sacher Torte Day on December 5th is a perfect day for you! The layered ingredients make this dessert a delicious torte!

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

Happy Holidays and enjoy your shopping.

Like the wind shaping the clouds, life shapes the human spirit. There are days when you rise wide like a wave of light, and days when you fold inward like a ripple returning to the sea. Yet every change is part of your dance with time.

@xango,

Happy Holidays to you and your family. 🎈

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎I am multi-tasking today.
This is in a good way.

Oodie I did see the report on the Racoon who had a little too much to drink. LOL!
They did release the critter back into the wilds once he was sober. 😎

This is the actual image I found online.

Wishing you a very nice Friday and I know your plate is full with things to do.

@sheba2011

It was a rough and tumble day. The contractor phoned that he was running a bit late and was here an hour later to check the bathroom. He left to bring the accessories an hour later. The men were supposed to be here after lunch. They never showed and I had to make a call to the main office. They will be here Monday. I thought everything would be done and finished in one day, but the vanity won’t be here for a week or more. No, I didn’t see hubs today, but will tomorrow. I will be stopping at Culver’s to pick up chili for him and a salad for me. It’s just down the road from Costco. I dread shopping on the weekend, but there is no alternative. I was also totally shocked when the contractor was never informed that they could utilize parts of our two hallway closets to enlarge the bathroom. It is an easy move to install the thermostat in another location at no charge from our electrician. Oh well.

I rested a bit this afternoon. Back to KP. House is starting to come together though there’s tons to be done. But, at least the pressure is off.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening Oodie I know it is a good feeling to be off and running.
This brings hubby this close to coming home. 😎🎈

I am so praying that everything goes well and is well done.

I hope KP is over time to rest I know exactly how you feel about weekend shopping.
This time of year it is a jungle out there. 😎

Oodie thank you for your prayers and support over the years. I just want to be sure you
know that. 🎈

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. 😎🎈Taci thank you for your shout out from yesterday.
Yeah it was a rather long journey six years almost to the day. I will never forget that phone
call.

Hey all is good now and I hope you and your family have fun on those trails. 🎈😎

This is to happy and safe trails. 🎈

Sheba, there’s no good way to get bad news. I am so happy for you and your family that its behind you.
Did some decorating today. Maybe I will make some muffins tonight or tomorrow.
Have a good evening!

@taci,

Good Evening you are so right Taci that bit of news saved my life. 😎
My walking is my workout and I do Pilates I like to stretch and move.

I will start on the decorations this weekend. I am so thankful. 😎🎈💕

Have fun with your decorations I get so caught up I like to be creative this
comes from our kids I would try to do something different every year. 💕😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎 Lady wishing you a wonderful Friday.
Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes to me. 😘🎈

I am doing this and that today yeah I’m back! LOL!

Oz is a bit warmer we are in the 30’s now this is hot! 😎

Sending warm and loving vibes to you and Jake. 😎😘

@sheba2011

Glad you are having “balmy” weather.🏝️ We will be in the 30s for highs at least another week.

Doing this and that also – grocery store, made macaroni salad, cooked some soup. Going up to mom’s tomorrow.

I hope you slept great last night.😴 At least your mind was calm. Sending happy hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Thank you again for all your support through the years.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten and enjoy the season. 😎🎈

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

SANTA’S LIST DAY

On December 4th, Santa’s List Day celebrates the day that Santa puts together his list of naughty and nice children. It’s also a day for kids to start working on their holiday wish lists.

The legend of Santa dates all the way back to 280 A.D. This is when the real St. Nicholas was born in modern-day Turkey. Through the years, many traditions have evolved regarding St. Nick, who came to be known as Santa Claus. Some of these include the North Pole, elves who make toys, a flying sleigh pulled by reindeer, enjoying milk and cookies, and going down the chimney to deliver gifts.

NATIONAL COOKIE DAY

National Cookie Day on December 4th serves up a sweet treat. Bakers across the country warm up the ovens for holiday baking, and we enjoy giving tins of cookies to friends and family all season long.

Cabernet Franc is often referred to as the father of another popular wine, Cabernet Sauvignon. This is because Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc forged together to make Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc is usually used as a blending grape in Bordeaux. This black grape is usually blended with Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

NATIONAL DICE DAY

Each year on December 4th, National Dice Day recognizes an ancient gaming tool. Many games incorporate dice as a way to add random challenges or obstacles to the objectives. It’s time to roll the dice and see where you land!

@xango,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I have had a long day already and it’s only
12:30 p.m. here in OZ.

My day began at 3:00 a.m. when I could not sleep due to the procedure I had this
morning. My nerves were raw I have been fighting this since 2019 that’s when I was
first diagnosed and today I am 100% back to normal. 😎

Oodie it’s been a long road and I nearly collapsed in the chair when they gave me
the news. I still need to see the Oncologist next week to go over everything and I pray
I get off the medicine. 😎🎈I will ring the bell.

We will do something special no worries there. 😎

My Mom will be so happy. 😘💕

I know your hands are full just want to say thank you since you have been with me during
this whole journey. Well I am done with this road. 😎🎈

Oodie, thanks for the suggestions. I like them all! I really liked Virginia. Florida may be too tropical for me. But never say never.
Glad your reno is moving along.
Have a great evening! Editing to add that we shop at Aldi’s mostly and I am loving the Gingerbread small square bites and the Gingerbread cookies with the wafer. If you get the chance check them out.

@sheba2011

Congratulations on the good news. I can hardly believe that it’s been five years since you were diagnosed and started many procedures. Thankfully, everything is fine and you can now relax and celebrate. I am sure your mom will be dancing and prancing on the news. I still believe that Andrew Lessman’s vitamins also helped with the recovery process. Now, kick up those heels and start celebrating.

The bottom of the closet looks amazing. I just may do the rest of that area after the bathroom is done. The men are supposedly dropping off equipment later today. Not sure if I will see hubs, but rest assured will do so either tomorrow or Saturday. I need to do a load of laundry and to empty some boxes near the doorway. I will be cleaning an empty cabinet which will house all the thermos things. It will be good to know where things are. The next cabinet are the spices. I am sure there will be many things tossed due to exp. dates. Though it’s work, it is also fun seeing the progress and feeling good inside when you are able to donate. Our community will be having their yearly bazaar a week from Saturday and I will be donating whatever I can. Items are marked really low and the committee will donate to other organizations on things that do not sell. The monies earned goes towards expenses for roads, plumbing, pool, and our lake (which I call a pond). All maintenance so we do not need to ask for more $$.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening I know you are super busy and good luck with everything.
Oodie I only had two procedures I never had the Chemo. I was blessed to
get that check up when I did and do what I felt was right for me. 😎

As the song goes I’m Feeling Good. 🎶🎶I like Michael Buble style but Nina Simone
nails it.

I do credit Andrew Lessman Vitamins with helping keep me healthy. 😎🎈

Don’t over do anything Oodie. Enjoy your evening.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Taci my week has been an emotional journey. 🎈😎
I don’t know how I did all that I did. I think now I can focus on the Holiday.

All Clear for me and thank you for your prayers through the years.
There is nothing more important than your health. I always say Happy Trails
to you because I am in awe how far and how faithful you are about Hiking. 💕

I feel the same way when I do my walking. Hey those endorphins help. LOL!

I am starting a new road today and going forward. 💕😎🎈

Happy Trails To You. 🎈😎

Sheba, what a journey. I am beyond happy for you to be clear. Cheers!🍾
♥

@taci

Here are a couple of ideas for retirement. New England is good, but it is extremely cold during the winter months. We do get some snow and that includes blizzards. However, the taxes are high in both Ct. and Ma.. That being said, since you and your hubby enjoy hiking, I will recommend a look at New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Though these States do get snow, lately, it has been scarce. There are many hiking trails in these areas and tons to see and do.

States I would look at today include Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Alabama comes to mind as well. For the most part I do enjoy Florida. It’s the summers that I have trouble with. High temps with high humidity and the chance of hurricanes are difficult to endure. The best advice I can give is to visit these States and ask tons of questions. If I decide to make a change the States I would look at would include Virginia, West Virginia. North Carolina. and Georgia. Good luck with your decision.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎Lady I am done with the Mammogram and I am all clear. 😎🎈
I know my mom will be so happy. 😘💕My husband and kids are so relived what a ride.

I am going to Victoria’s Secret in a day or two and get new things I love Pink. 💕😎

I want to thank you from start to finish for all your prayers and being with me through
this journey. I am not going to look in that rear view mirror I am moving forward.

To Life! I will write more later I am so tired in a good way.

Sending warm vibes to you and Jake. 😘🎈I did labs as well all while the temps were
8 degrees. 😎

@sheba2011

❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

I have a big smile on my face. Time to do the whole house in pink!

It may be cold outside but our hearts are warm – love ya!!💞💞💞

@shoelady60,

Good Evening and thank you Lady you always know what to say. 💕😎

Sweet Dreams and enjoy the Games. 💕

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten and Happy Holidays. 😎🎈💕

NATIONAL PACKAGE PROTECTION DAY

National Package Protection Day encourages homeowners to stay alert during these high delivery times. The Wednesday after Thanksgiving is a time to remind us to protect our homes against package theft, which becomes more and more prevalent during the holidays.

The internet has made it easier to find deals and have packages shipped straight to our homes. But this has also made it easier for thieves to snatch our deliveries right from our doorsteps. Cyber Monday, in particular, is a big online shopping day where most purchases are shipped directly to the buyer’s home.

With the advent of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there became a need for a day that raises awareness of package theft and helps homeowners protect themselves against thieves. And just like that, Package Protection Day was born.

NATIONAL ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD DAY

National Roof Over Your Head Day was created as a day to be thankful for what you have, starting with the roof over your head. There are many things that we have that we take for granted and do not stop to appreciate how fortunate we are for having them.

😎

When you feel small in this vast world, remember: even the smallest fiber can create a miracle when it stays true to its purpose.

Look East Tonight! ✨
As the sky darkens, you’ll see a waxing gibbous Moon passing extremely close to the Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters.
This stunning cosmic pairing will be a sight to remember—bright moonlight alongside one of the most beloved star clusters in the night sky.
🔭 Don’t miss it! A perfect night for sky-gazing. 🌙✨

Good morning Peeps and Happy and Safe Holidays. 😎🎈

In every soul, light and shadow are woven together. Like threads shaping the gown of life, each hue…soft or bright…holds the quiet courage of becoming.

Amazing rainbow clouds 🌈☁️
📍 Interstate 75, Florida, USA 🇺🇸

When Bette Davis stepped onto the set of All About Eve, she wasn’t just playing Margo Channing; she was breathing life into a character who mirrored her own battles with fame, age, and the pressures of stardom. People on set often said the lines fit her so naturally it felt like the script had been written around her voice. That raw honesty became the heart of the film, and you can still feel it every time she delivers those sharp, unforgettable moments on screen.
Behind the scenes, Bette brought a kind of electricity that lifted everyone’s performance. She had a reputation for being tough, but during this film, she was surprisingly warm, even playful, especially with co-stars she admired. Crew members recalled how she’d sometimes light up the room with her jokes right before a scene, and then instantly switch into Margo’s fierce, commanding presence when the director called action. It was that perfect balance of discipline and spontaneity that made her performance so powerful.
What makes this period in her life even more interesting is how much she connected with the emotional truth of the role. Bette once admitted to friends that Margo’s frustrations and vulnerability felt “dangerously close” to her own. Instead of hiding that, she used it. That honesty turned All About Eve into one of the most iconic films of Hollywood’s golden age, and her performance remains a towering example of what happens when an actor pours real life straight into a character.

@xango,

I am fine. Finally have things ready to go into the guest bedroom. I will be working on that closet tonight. I will be doing the items on the floor and the shelf above. If the men need more space, then will do the other shelves which should be easier. Then it is on to the front door. Finally, the kitchen is beginning to show progress. Things are starting to open up and there will be more donations. Cannot wait for hubs to lend a hand. No dementia today and he ate a good dinner. Looked like tuna fish salad. I arrived a bit too late to see what else was on the tray.

The weather is again changing here and I felt it yesterday. We are in the midst of another cool down. More of that is expected next week. This time we had a bit of rain. The plants seem happy. I never made it to the Farmer’s Market, but did make it to Aldi’s. Our frig is now full. Actually, though, I need a fix at the Asian market. They cut the pork ribs in threes or more so it goes good in soup. I have a cleaver here, but they do a better job. I also like the cauliflower branches which goes good anywhere. Once the renovations are complete, may take a ride into Brandon. I will let xango know and hopefully we will be able to meet. Then again, I hope she is still in Florida and hope she and her hubs are OK. Just wish she would post to let us know that she is OK. With the fall she had at the supermarket and the many surgeries following, I am hoping for the best.

By tfhe way. Before I say goodnight. Did you see the news tonight on a raccoon. Seems this little guy needed something to do. Somehow or other he was able to find a way into a liquor store at night and proceeded to knock some bottles over. Guess he had one too many sips and ended up in one of the restrooms sound asleep. The police took him to a shelter to sleep it off. They will question him/her in the morning.

@sheba2011

Good luck with your tests tomorrow. I would love to join you when you and shoelady uncork that bottle. Love the movie “GiGi” and the “Night they invented champagne.” Be safe and I know you will do well. Hey, when everything is said and done, make those dinner reservations ASAP.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈Taci I did read your post from last night.
As far as the cold goes you get use to it. 😎

My husband’s sister lives in Texas and there are some parts of Texas I could not live
in due to the heat so it’s always something. LOL! 😎

Funny you mention cold my brother and his wife who live in Colorado just left for
a Cruise yesterday. 🎈😎 I feel it’s too early to have this much cold and snow.

Happy and safe trails. 🎈

Sheba, I really do like the cold weather. Not too much of a rain person. We looked into Texas briefly for retirement and did a road trip there. The weather isn’t for me so we decided to keep looking. We enjoyed the people and had a good time. Many people around here have moved to TX or AZ. I think one year almost half the kids in my sons class moved out of State. We also had some neighbors go a year ago to TX.
Wishing you the best with your Appt tomorrow.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕Oz will be around 4 degrees in the morning.
Mother Nature can play a sneaky joke on the weather and this they say should break
a record in our area. Sigh…

Hey all we can do is ride it out keep me in your prayers tomorrow. I have a one and done
appointment even in this weather life goes on. 😎

I am having a little fun with you as you have such a good sense of humor. 😎😘🎈

Sending warm vibes to you and Jake. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

The only thing I want is to be able to go buy that bottle of champagne for you to uncork!😄 That would mean we would be together at a celebration.🎉 It will happen…..🙏

We may get a little more snow tomorrow morning. Low tonight will be 10 and that may also be a record for us.🥶 It’s been cold here before, not the end of the world. I’ll be pulling out the hot chocolate.

Go get ’em tomorrow, love and hugs from me and Jake.💖🤗👍

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I am all set for tomorrow I’ve done everything I have been told to
do by my health team. 💕

I think one day we will have that toast. 💕🎈😎

Thank you for your prayers and support. 😎

Sweet Dreams. 💕
