Coming Soon. 😎🎈💕

Almost the leaves are in my backyard already. 🎈

😎🎈

Sorry I can’t come in today…I’m busy doing “fall” things!
Well, it’s the MOST wonder’FALL time of year and I’m excited to crunch in the leaves and go pumpkin picking…how about you?🍁🎃🎨🎃🍂

Recalculating Route and then it shuts down leaving you to your own devices to get on track. Yep, Washington D.C. had me going
in circles until we saw the sign for the Interstate.

U.S. BOWLING LEAGUE DAY

Primarily an outdoor sport until around 1840, the game was called ninepins and was popular with gamblers. To snuff out the gambling, the state of Connecticut banned the game in 1841. As a result, indoor lane owners added one pin to their alleys to circumvent the law.

NATIONAL WELSH RAREBIT DAY

Similar to mock turtle soup having no turtle in it, Welsh rarebit does not contain rabbit. Instead, this dish is made with toast that has hot cheese poured over it. Over time, the dish became known as Welsh Rarebit – a nod to the inside joke.

The Blooming of Inner Awareness
In the silence that flows like silk, let every strand of thought bloom softly, realizing that life is found neither in the grey past nor the golden future, but within the colorful heartbeat of the present moment.

Good Morning Peeps and enjoy the HSN Community. 😎🎈

Symphony of Roses and Sunset Silhouette
Twilight always has a way of bidding farewell with a painful grace, painting the horizon with the burning colors of longing before finally sinking into the silent embrace of the night. Like a rose blooming at the edge of light, every petal is a fragment of memory we keep closely guarded, trembling in the cold breeze that whispers how the purest beauty is often born from an awareness of inevitable transience. We stand there, draped in a cloak of fading light, reflecting on footprints that begin to blur, while realizing that the melancholy arriving at the end of the day is not a conclusion, but a poetic pause to rediscover the depths of oneself once more.

Blooming from the Inner Cracks
The grandest victory is not found on the world’s battlefields, but in the quiet conquest of one’s own ego and fears. Like petals that bloom beautifully from the shattered pieces of the past, we celebrate the moments when the soul chooses to blossom beyond the boundaries we once set for ourselves. This is the dance of liberation, where every thorn of regret transforms into a crown of courage, allowing us to fly with the winds of change, no longer bound by the shadows of who we used to be.

Sometimes the mind keeps searching for danger long after the difficult moment has passed. When that happens, do not shame yourself for being watchful. Pause, breathe slowly, and notice what is true around you right now. Feel your feet beneath you and allow the present to introduce itself. You do not have to solve every fear today. Peace often returns through small reminders that this moment is different—and you are allowed to meet it gently.

Your value does not rise and fall with another person’s opinion. Some people will overlook your goodness because recognizing it would require them to confront something within themselves. You do not have to remain where your confidence is repeatedly chipped away. Distance can be an act of restoration. Step toward the places where you can breathe, grow, and remember who you were before someone taught you to doubt yourself. Your worth was never theirs to measure.

Trust should never be handed out simply because someone asks for it. It is earned through consistency, honesty, and the way a person handles the vulnerable things you place in their care. Protecting your sacred space does not mean building walls around your heart. It means learning who can enter without damaging what took you years to restore. Keep the door open to goodness—but let wisdom decide who receives the key.

We can warn, guide, pray, and stand nearby, but we cannot live another person’s lessons for them. Letting go does not mean our love disappeared—it means we finally understood that rescuing can delay the growth struggle was meant to bring. Rowan reminds us that healthy boundaries are not punishment. Sometimes stepping aside is the most loving thing we can do for them—and for ourselves.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎💕I hope you are feeling better.
Enjoy the rain. I wish Oz had rain we are in triple digits.

I am doing the thread with my eyes closed have a slight headache.
This will pass and soon.

Take care and enjoy the visit with hubby if you are able.

@sheba2011

Your GPS brought back many memories. This is one of the reasons why we take the more scenic route either North or South. The last trip on I-95 was the last straw. For some reason the GPS took us off the hightway and a back road. We both thought it was a shortcut, but it just kept on going away from Virginia. At the first intersection we tried to turn around, but it was one way. So we kekpt on going until we were able to raeturn to a main road and then onto I-95 South. Thank goodness for my sense of direction. You turn hubs around and he has no idea what to do.

I am now getting ready to see hubs. I ordered out tonight since it was raining so hard that going to the Farmer’s Market was a no no. Suffice to say, I ordered a grinder to share with hubs. This place makes the best meals we have ever had. In the two years we have used them, never a bad meal. That includes: pizza, subs, calzones and dinners. Oh yes, even their appetizers which is a meal in itself. I need to get going. Have a great rest of the afternoon and then some. I know what your headaches are like. I had one this morning to beat the band. I know mine is weather related. I think your’s is also. I have labs in a couple of weeks and a doctor appointment to follow. Hoping for A++++ and then some.

@oodiebom,

I am taking meds and turning in for tonight. The headache is easing up.
I know all about the famous I-95 our daughter who lives in Boston have traveled
it many times and she loves nature. 🎈😎

When the time is right we are all going there and to Vermont. 😎💕One of her best
friends has a beautiful cabin in the woods with a stream of water running through it.
I already seen pictures of it and it looks like something out of a movie. I already put
dibs on it. 💕

Going to take a quick shower and lights out. 😎💕Oz will be in triple digits until
next week. Have mercy!

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈 I am multi-tasking with a slight headache.
Triple digits here in OZ.

I am enjoying the classic movies we are talking about. The sub titles are the best. 💕

I will list more later.

Have a good day. 🎈😎

Sheba, Sorry about your headache. Feel better soon. Maybe chug some water? or Coconut water? I keep a lot of the coconut water in the house in the summer.
Your weather is still so hot. We seem to be cooling down.
Hubs wants to visit his friend in FL pretty soon and his friend and wife love it. We would leave CA in a nano second if our son wasn’t here. The new laws especially about tires is uninformed.
Just gets crazier and crazier.

I will take a look at Nosferatu. It looks like there was also a remake of it

@taci,

I hope and pray you can get out when the time is right. I hope son comes along with
you. 💕

You are spot on there was a remake of this Classic 1922 Movie which is still the
best.

You know I prefer Lestat LOL! 😎💕

Nighty!

* duplicate post.

* post not needed.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎We are all missing you so much.

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 🎈💕😎

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening and keep it cool. 😎🎈

NATIONAL BLUEBERRY POPSICLE DAY | SEPTEMBER 2

National Blueberry Popsicle Day on September 2nd also kicks off National Blueberry Popsicle Month. Scheduled in the midst of the dog days of summer, it’s a delicious way to cool off. Purchase a box of blueberry-flavored Popsicles or make your own. Either way, the treat will be a tasty one! With the end of summer at hand, now is the time to celebrate this National Day.

NATIONAL V-J DAY | SEPTEMBER 2

On September 2nd, National V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day) recognizes Allied Forces’ victory over Japan during World War II. Officials announced the surrender of Japan to the Allies on August 15, 1945. The official signing of surrender took place on September 2, 1945, officially ending World War II.

NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH

National Recovery Month in September provides a platform for services and professionals to educate the public about substance abuse treatments and mental health services. The entire month serves as a celebration of the steps taking to improve access, information, and treatment.

We can warn, guide, pray, and stand nearby, but we cannot live another person’s lessons for them. Letting go does not mean our love disappeared—it means we finally understood that rescuing can delay the growth struggle was meant to bring. Rowan reminds us that healthy boundaries are not punishment. Sometimes stepping aside is the most loving thing we can do for them—and for ourselves.

Breaking free rarely happens in one fearless moment. It happens through small decisions, trembling steps, difficult boundaries, and the quiet refusal to return to what once held us captive. Seraphina reminds us that survival is not where our story must end. Beyond the open door, we slowly learn how to trust ourselves, reclaim our voices, and build a life that finally feels like our own. Freedom is a process. Honor every brave step you have taken toward it.

Not everything handed to us belongs in the life we are building. Some expectations, identities, and stories were placed upon us before we knew we were allowed to question them. Rowan reminds us that discernment is the quiet courage to examine what we carry. We can honor the lessons without continuing to live inside another person’s song. Release what was never yours, trust your inner guidance, and choose the path that allows you to stand honestly in your own name.

@oodiebom,

@ Sheba2011

I am home after visiting hubby. Seems the migraines hit as the barometer goes downward. Thus, I didn’t see hubs for two days. We have had thunderstorms everyday thus far and more are on the way. I left after 5pm due to the lightning. They were spikes heading downward. Fireworks in the sky. Our plants are happy and that is what counts. I am hoping to get an early start tomorrow before the storms hit in the afternoon.

I’m beginning to wonder if shoelady is OK. It isn’t like her not to post for weeks on end. Wish there was a way for us to find out how things are. I hope and pray she returns soon.

Have a great evening. Enjoy the night. It is extremely cloudy here and speaking of that what a beautiful sight on my way to see hubs. The western sky was mostly dark clouds, but in the middle were the whiteish marshmallow clouds. I have never seen such a beautiful sight. It was as if someone had some paint and used the sky as a canvas. Thankfully, I missed most of the traffic lights on route and had an opportunity to ooh and ahh and let myself bedazzled as I waited for the long lights to turn green. By the time I reached the rehab, the rain started all over again and my pretty picture became just a memory.

@oodiebom,

I love the clouds you saw and that is one of the reasons I study the sky. 🎈😎💕
I read up and study all the upcoming changes in the clouds. I have seen some
beautiful sunsets and sunrise. 😎💕

I miss Shoelady60 too she said she was take a break and would be back those are her
words. I hope all is well too. I don’t assume anything because I don’t know but you know
I get these feelings and I will leave at that. Lady was absolutely fine before she said
she needed a break I do know she had labs done and that was the end of that convo.

Glad you had some good rain and the plants and animals are happy.
Oz needs some good rain that too shall come soon. 😎

Goodnight Oodie and have a good evening.

@taci,

Sheba, Saw your note above about the system being a bit wonky. Try “Klaatu barada nikto” .
Maybe that will work. So funny about it. Hubs said he has seen Fritz Lang Metropolis. What a name that is but maybe more meaningful once the movie is seen. It’s also very well rated.
Maybe I’ll give it a try. SInce its silent that means I have to pay attention and not do the usual 3 things while I watch most TV or movies. lol.

Hope you are feeling better!

@taci,

I have a great collection in my DVR and I own most on Blu-Ray I love the silent films
all you have to do is turn on the captions it draws you in. I have watched films from
Sweden, Japan and Italy all four star and stellar casts. I seem to understand every word
they say. 😎💕

This is Metropolis directed by Fritz Lang.

I have seen a lot of great films from the 20’s through the 60’s I enjoy them and I have
to have no one talking to me. I think your hubby can guide you through the movie.

Oz is hot and I am so ready for the Fall Season as soon as this one is over. 😎

Have a good evening. 🎈Tell you what there is a great Halloween Movie made in the
silent film era from 1922 Nosferatu. This involves a Vampire very good so beware. 😎

@shoelady60,

Wake Me Up When September Ends
Song by Green Day

Summer has come and passed 🎶
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father’s come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends🎶

September
Song by Earth, Wind & Fire ‧

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changin’ the minds of pretenders
While chasin’ the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin’
In the key that our souls were singin’
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin’ in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da
My thoughts are with you
Holdin’ hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love, remember
How we knew love was here to stay
Now December
Found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love, remember
The true love we share today
Hey, hey, hey
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin’ in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
There was a
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin’ in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days
The bell was ringin’, oh, oh
Our souls were singin’
Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow
There was a
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin’ in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), never was a cloudy day
And we’ll say
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin’ in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya!
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya!

Neil Diamond Lyrics
“September Morn”

Stay for just a while
Stay and let me look at you
It’s been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door

Stay with me a while
I only wanna talk to you
We’ve traveled halfway ’round the world
To find ourselves again

September morn
We danced until the night
Became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

Look at what you’ve done
Why, you’ve become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you crying
In a corner of your room
And look how far we’ve come
So far from where we used to be
But not so far that we’ve forgotten
How it was before

September morn
Do you remember
How we danced that night away
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

September morn
We danced until the night
Became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

September morn
We danced until the night
Became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

See You in September
Song by The Happenings

I’ll be alone each and every night
While you’re away, don’t forget to write
Bye-bye, so long, farewell
Bye-bye, so long
See you in September
See you when the summer’s through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love?
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love?
See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
I hope that I’ll see you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Well, maybe I’ll see you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
In September

Harmony in Self-Acceptance
In the quietest depths of the soul, we learn that beauty is not born from the absence of flaws, but from the courage to embrace every stroke of fate. To be at peace is when we stop sculpting ourselves into someone else and begin watering the seeds of our true identity until they bloom into a tranquil garden. In sincere acceptance, every shade of darkness from the past slowly transforms into a light that guides us back home to ourselves, where we finally feel enough and whole.

😎💕

Hello September. 💕🎈

😎🎈

This is for our ‘ber Nights. 🎈😎

Very hot in OZ triple digits. 😎🎈A/C is turned up.

😎🎈

Oh What A Beautiful Morning. 🎈💕😎

Beautiful Summer Day. 😎🎈

NATIONAL FORGIVENESS DAY

National Forgiveness Day traces its roots back to the universal human need for healing and forgiveness. We are using today’s National Day to remind people about the transformative power of forgiveness. It’s time to let go of grudges and embrace a path of unity and understanding.

NATIONAL HOTEL EMPLOYEE DAY

September 1 we celebrate National Hotel Employee Day and honor nearly 2 million employees who work in the industry.

NATIONAL BURNT ENDS DAY

Once considered trimmings or left-overs, burnt ends come from the point of a brisket. However, these days burnt ends take center stage in a BBQ basket of smoky flavor and goodness.

NATIONAL ACNE POSITIVITY DAY

As many of us know, we judge our appearance more harshly than we do others’. Often times, we allow outside point of view to affect our confidence based on our appearance. There are days, where we judge each blemish and mark. Acne is a universal skin concern and is the number one reason to consult a dermatologist.

NATIONAL CHICKEN BOY DAY | SEPTEMBER 1

On September 1st, National Chicken Boy Day honors the birthday of an interesting statue in California. Celebrate his ceremonial birthday and learn more about this unique creation.

NATIONAL NO RHYME (NOR REASON) DAY

While September celebrates many random and capricious days, this observance focuses on specific words. Words that don’t rhyme with any other word are called refractory rhymes. Poets reason that avoiding these words helps keep their poetry consistent. However, refractory words only interrupt poems where rhyme and reason matter.

Good Morning Peeps and you are in the HSN Community. 🎈😎

The Rose Soul in the Flow of Ages
Time is not a sequence of dead numbers, but a battlefield where we wager between becoming the dust of history or the fire that incinerates injustice.

Enjoy what’s left of the Summer Season. 😎🎈

Stillness is not weakness, avoidance, or surrender. Sometimes it is the strongest choice we can make. Haven reminds us that when the world becomes noisy, we do not have to chase every ripple or answer every demand. We can pause, breathe, and allow the troubled waters inside us to settle. In that quiet space, truth becomes clearer and our inner guidance finds its voice again. Protect the moments that return you to yourself.

We cannot repair every wrong or carry everyone across their storms. Grit and Grace reminds us that resilience begins when we accept the limits of our hands without questioning the strength inside them. Tend what belongs to you. Nurture what still has life. Rest when your spirit grows weary, then rise and begin again. Strength is not about becoming hardened by difficult seasons—it is continuing forward without surrendering the tenderness that makes you who you are.

Not everything handed to us belongs in the life we are building. Some expectations, identities, and stories were placed upon us before we knew we were allowed to question them. Rowan reminds us that discernment is the quiet courage to examine what we carry. We can honor the lessons without continuing to live inside another person’s song. Release what was never yours, trust your inner guidance, and choose the path that allows you to stand honestly in your own name.

😎🎈

😎

There comes a point when you stop asking, “Where do I fit?” and start asking, “Where do I feel free?” ✌️🌿
Maybe life was never supposed to be about squeezing ourselves into somebody else’s idea of who we should be.
Maybe it’s about wandering a little. Changing our minds. Taking the long way. Wearing the weird clothes. Loving the loud music. Finding our people. Losing some people. Starting over when we need to. And slowly creating a life that actually feels like OURS.
I don’t want a perfectly polished life.
I want stories.
I want belly laughs.
I want bare feet and messy hair.
I want adventures I didn’t plan.
I want people who let me be completely myself.
And I want to look back someday and know I didn’t spend my whole life trying to fit into places I was never meant to stay.
Some of us weren’t made to fit inside the box.
We were made to wander outside of it. 🖤🌻

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈OZ is hot as Hades! Already in the triple digits.
No worries Fall is on the way soon. 💕I know my State is not the only hot one.

I hope you are feeling better. I am coming out of my little cold. The only thing it does
is annoy me with the heat. I am still posting with one eye open and the other closed. 😎

Hey welcome to September. 💕Things will get cooler when mother nature is ready. 😎🎈

I am enjoying some tea today and taking my sweet time. 😎🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 🎈😎Oz is very warm well it’s still summer so soon it
will be cooler in the coming weeks. 💕

Taci I will long for a warm day like this in the dead of winter. LOL! 😎

Wishing you and hubby a little bit of rest from housing chores.

I hope his mother is doing well. 🎈

Did you enjoy your movie last night? I love that movie.

Sheba, Hope you are feeling better today!
Yes, enjoyed the movie. Very good cast. The flying saucer was fun to see. I also saw your note from last night about it. I know you said you watched it as a child but I never did.
Neither of us was born when it first came out but if I had to guess I think I might be older than you. I’m surprised it was a remake but then so many movies are remakes.

We cooled here a bit with a high of 88. The Mosquitos are out like crazy. That also explains the swarming dragon flies. My ankles are bitten up. I looked down and one was on my ankle. It happened when hubs came home and opened the door.
Hubs was at his Mothers new Assisted Living Place. She seems to be doing ok.

@taci,

Good Evening as you know I grew up in a strict Catholic Family my father would not
allow certain TV Series or Movies.

I caught this movie in my early teens from start to finish and I loved it. 😎💕

You are right the cast was stellar I loved Michael Rennie character Klaatu.
Michael was a British Actor and the words he told Patrica Neal was a now
famous quote “Klaatu barada nikto” is a famous sci-fi command from the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still that serves as a fail-safe phrase to stop an invincible robot from destroying the Earth. 😎 Gort the Robot understood those words.

I brought the DVD of the 1951 Film at a Garage Sale in my area. I could not believe my luck.
I can watch anytime with no Commercials the DVD was brand new. 😎

Taci I have a thing for old classic movies and I have TCM for all that. All the movies I missed
as a child i am catching up and the movies are very good. Today’s film can be a bit much.
There are some good movies being made but I am drawn to older movies and older music.
I have a great DVD Library of Classic Movies. Check out Fritz Lang Metropolis this was made
in 1927 and yes I love silent and Foreign Films. 😎💕

Have a good evening.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I hope this note finds you doing well. 🎈😎💕

Welcome to September. 💕😎🎈

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 😎💕😘

the Dance of Time in a Vortex of Colors
True struggle is the dance between resilience and transience, where every passing second is forged into beauty through the movement of a soul that never yields to the gravity of despair.

😎

Enjoy these last days of Summer. 🎈😎

Goodbye England’s Rose – Sir Elton John

Goodbye England’s Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Loveliness we’ve lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we’ll always carry
For our nation’s golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
You might also like

And it seems to me you lived your life

Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England’s rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you’ll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Good Morning Peeps and enjoy the HSN Community. 🎈😎

NATIONAL MATCHMAKER DAY

Playing matchmaker requires a bit of social savvy. It also requires the ability to listen and timing. They know each friends’ habits (good and bad), passions, and hobbies. When there is a spark, even when the prospective couple is painfully unaware, the matchmaker knows.

NATIONAL DIATOMACEOUS EARTH DAY

Most people know of diatomaceous earth because they use it around their homes. Sometimes they use it as a filter for swimming pools or as a natural insecticide. Biologists understand diatoms, single-celled plants. They form diatomaceous earth and are indeed the lungs of the earth. Amazingly, diatoms produce about ¾ of the world’s new oxygen supply. Another scientist known as materials scientists recognizes diatom skeletons (called frustules). Imagine tiny, intricate porous opal structures. They are known to be the most durable naturally occurring substances in the world.

NATIONAL TRAIL MIX DAY

Filled with nuts, dried fruit, and grains, trail mix packs a boost of carbohydrates when the body needs it most. The nuts supply good fats as well as sustained energy, too. Since it’s lightweight, trail mix travels easily, as well. On long trails or while camping, trail mix keeps without spoiling since most of the ingredients are dried.

NATIONAL EAT OUTSIDE DAY

Many foods lend themselves to eating outdoors but sometimes it’s as simple as taking your prepared plate out to the balcony, porch, or patio. Also known as al fresco dining, many restaurants offer patio seating so their patrons can enjoy their meals while taking in the city, beach, countryside or just people watch. Even more temperate climates offer seasonal outdoor dining.

NATIONAL SOUTH CAROLINA DAY

Catawbas and Cherokee were some of the first to greet Spanish and French explorers in the 16th century. Their tribes dotted the land with villages. The Englished established the first successful settlement near present-day Charleston. Named Carolina initially after King Charles I, the colony later split into North and South Carolina in 1710. Following in the footsteps of the previous colonies, South Carolina would become the eighth state to ratify the constitution.

Every fallen rose petal holds a memory; every newly blooming petal carries a new hope, ready to grow..even in solitude.

Blooming in Silence
Life is a blank canvas, constantly unfolding. Don’t be afraid to paint with the boldest colors, and let your spontaneous brushstrokes create an unexpected symphony of beauty. Because true magic often lies beyond straight lines and predetermined shapes.

On this day Diana, Princess of Wales (born Diana Frances Spencer; 1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) died on 31 August 1997, aged 36, as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris while her driver was fleeing the paparazzi.
She was taken to Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital around 2:00 am and was pronounced dead at approximately 4:00 am. The crash also claimed the lives of her companion Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul, who was also acting security manager of the Hôtel Ritz Paris. Trevor Rees-Jones, a bodyguard employed by Dodi’s father, survived with severe head and facial injuries The televised funeral, on 6 September, was watched by a British audience that peaked at 32.1 million, one of the highest viewing figures ever recorded in the United Kingdom, and by a United States audience that peaked at 50 million. The event was broadcast to more than 200 countries and seen by an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide

Flowering Dreams and Fractured Reality
==========================
We live within a blend
of fragile beauty and harsh reality.
Like a torn painting,
tomorrow is never certain.
Yet every stroke of color today
is a chance to create something meaningful.
Find beauty in fragility,
and let your heart bloom,
even when the world
sometimes begins to fade.

Not everything handed to us belongs in the life we are building. Some expectations, identities, and stories were placed upon us before we knew we were allowed to question them. Rowan reminds us that discernment is the quiet courage to examine what we carry. We can honor the lessons without continuing to live inside another person’s song. Release what was never yours, trust your inner guidance, and choose the path that allows you to stand honestly in your own name.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 💕😎🎈I am still a bit under the weather I am losing
my voice. Such is life. 😎

Oz is warm today and throughout the week we will be in triple digits. I am doing the thread
with one eye open and one eye closed. LOL! Good thing I have been doing this thread for
nearly 14 years and can do it in my sleep. 😎🎈

I did read your post from last night I am missing Dolly Parton like crazy. I watched a special
on her life last night the thing is I knew everything about her and I loved everything about
her. Dolly had so much love and grace that is what made her so unique. I hope her and Carl
and together again. 😎💕May she RIP.

Today is the day Princess Diana left us she will always be missed. 💕

Just so happens my mother, daughter and sister were in England during that time and left
beautiful flowers for her at Kensington Palace. 💕

Oodie take it easy today the cake sounds good you brought for your husband’s birthday. 💕🎈
Let me know how your day goes and be careful with the weather.

@sheba2011

I am home today. Spent the night itching like crazy and didn’t get much sleep. Slept on and off today. Eczema returned with a vengeance. If it’s one thing and then another. Luckily the meds kicked in around 6 am and the ointment is doing it’s thing. Rash is something else. At least it isn’t noticeable. This time it affected the palm of my hands and the top of my fingers which are now a brownish color. I will be OK in about a week or so.

We received close to 6″ of rain yesterday that started around 2pm and then stopped for a brief period. One of the clouds that I mentioned yesterday looked ominous. It looked different in that it was dark and fat. It looked like a huge river of water. Never have I seen anything like it. Going to see hubs the road was a bit reacherous in that huge puddles were in the middle of the road. Then around 4pm the rain came again and this time it lingerd for a couple of hours. I left around 7:20 so that I could see the road. I also had a visitor on the way home. A gecko decided to hitch a ride on my windshielf wipers. It watched where I was going, his face watching the road as he stood up for the ride. Since they do not like the cold, I tured the A/C off in the car. He was looking around when I reached the carport. Hope it likes his new home.

Take care. Feel better soon.

@oodiebom,

I am posting with one eye and took some meds. I think every one is fighting some kind
of battle. 😎Good grief.

Oodie I hope you feel better too.

Well here is to better days and your area got rain how wonderful OZ will be in the
triple digits all week. 🎈

I do hope you are resting well.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this day find you doing well. 🎈😎
I bet your husband will be tired after his weekend working on his parents
house.

I am taking it easy and drinking some hot tea. 😎🎈What the what I have no voice.
Good thing I can do this thread with my eyes closed because it’s all in my head. LOL!

I am too am concerned about Shoelady60 but I remember her last post and she did
say she would return. I think at times we all need a break from everything I mean that
in a good way. 😎🎈

Sheba, sorry you are losing your voice. Hope that tea kicks in and you feel better soon.
Yes, Hubs is feeling it. He is almost done. His Father was a bit of a saver and pack rat so 2 dumpsters later and of course our trash cans here helped too 🙂 . You know those from the depression era like to collect.
Watching the Day the Earth Stood Still from 1951. I had no idea it was a remake and clicked on it thinking it was the newer movie from 2008.
Have a nice evening! Pretty flowers. And crazy rain in Oodie’s location.

@taci,

Wishing you a good evening I own that movie from 1951 I was not even born yet but
I saw it at a young age. Who can forget Michael Rennie. 😎

Keanu Reeves starred in the later film. 😎

“Klaatu barada nikto”

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕😘You know we all miss you please take care.

Take your time and we will all be here when you return. 💕

Sending cool vibes to you and Jake. 💕😎🎈

Blooming in Serenity
Allow your soul to rest this weekend, for in every pause there is a new strength being prepared to bloom even more beautifully tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone.

NATIONAL BEACH DAY

Whether we spend time on beaches oceanside, at a lake or river, they provide recreation all summer long. Swimming, water sports, and sunbathing are just a few of the relaxing things that come to mind. We also enjoy playing Frisbee, volleyball and long walks. Floating along in the surf on a hot summer day with friends creates summer memories we remember for years to come.

NATIONAL TOASTED MARSHMALLOW DAY

On August 30, National Toasted Marshmallow Day celebrates one of America’s favorite fire-roasted treats. Be sure to stock up on marshmallows so you can celebrate!

NATIONAL GRIEF AWARENESS DAY

Throughout the day, take stock of those in your life who have been affected by a form of loss. The death of a loved one, a close friend or enduring an extreme change in their lifestyle can trigger grief. When we lose the stability of shelter, a job or a routine we have known for years, we suffer a type of loss that requires closure. Some adjust to these changes easily, and others take time to become familiar with new routines.

Offer to listen to a friend or ask them to join you for a coffee or tea. Send a message letting them know they are never far from your mind. Then, set a date for another visit. If you find you are suffering from grief, know that it’s natural. You’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help if you feel your grief is overwhelming.

Dear September, surprise me. 🤍✨
Bring new beginnings, unexpected blessings, peaceful moments, and beautiful reasons to smile. 🌸 May this month be softer, brighter, and kinder than the last. 🕊️
I’m leaving behind what no longer serves me and stepping into September with an open heart, renewed hope, and faith that something beautiful is on its way. ✨🙏
Dear September, I’m ready. Surprise me. 🤍🍂

💜✨

Blooming Radiance and Hope
Treat every challenge as a canvas and your spirit as the brush; paint a bright future with courage that never fades.

Dolly Parton was never simply an entertainer to me. She was woven into the soundtrack of my life. I grew up listening to her songs and paying attention to the stories inside them. Her words could make love feel as delicate as a butterfly, heartache feel survivable, and an ordinary life feel worthy of becoming a song.
What I admired most was the way she embraced life without apologizing for who she was. She carried glamour without losing humility, humor without cruelty, faith without forgetting compassion, and success without turning her back on where she came from. She showed women that they could be soft and strong, wise and playful, ambitious and generous—all at the same time.
Dolly touched my life through more than her music. She reminded me that our beginnings do not determine how far our gifts can travel. She used her voice to tell stories, her success to lift others, and her love of books to open doors for children she would never meet.
Thank you, Dolly, for the songs that grew up with me, the wisdom hidden inside your lyrics, and the light you shared so freely with the world. Your music will continue to flutter through our memories, carrying pieces of your heart from one generation to the next.
You were deeply admired, greatly loved, and you will never be forgotten.

Grace does not always wait for us to be ready or deserving. Sometimes it simply finds us in the middle of our mistakes and reminds us that we are still held. All we can do is receive it with gratitude and awe.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎 Oodie I have a feeling you are tired and I hope
your husband had a very nice birthday weekend. 😎🎈I wish him many happy and healthy
returns.

I did do a birthday gallery as I call them I am still not feeling too hot but it’s getting better.

If you scroll down to your name you will see his birthday gallery. 🎈😎

I hope today the rain is not too much and you are out and about. 😎🎈

@sheba2011

I did see the birthday wishes for hubs after I arrived home from the rehab. I didn’t mention it to you because Dolly passed away on that day. I was and still am too distraught to celebrate though I purchased a Tuxedo cake from Sam’s Club. I was able to cut a few pieces for the RN and receptionist. Leftover went to the nurse’s station. I will do this again for the first and third shifts. I will show him the gallery . you overdid yourself even though you are feeling out of sorts.

Today I saw a sky that looked awful. Dark clouds from the East and the West. Thankfully, no shelf.
Some parts of the road I use had to be circumvented due to flooding. No notice online so I could use a different route. I will write more later.

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California we had a lot of birthdays in August. 🎈😎Mine and yours
included. I hope Oodiebom sees her husband Birthday Gallery. I am still a bit under the
weather but getting better I hate colds in the hot humid summer. Shizzle!

I am like you and everyone else can’t wait for real Fall and a lasting Fall before winter hits. 😎🎈

Enjoy the day.

Sheba, take it easy and try not to do so much and have some ice cream. Hope you feel better.
Yes, you are right, we sure do have a lot of LEO’s here.

We had a quite Sunday. Hubs had to go do some work at his parents house since he’s got to sell it off for his Mother.

Hope you and your family are doing well. Wondering how Shoelady is doing.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈😎💕Hey Football Season is coming up fast.

I miss you like crazy. Be well my friend. 🎈😎

Sending Cool Vibes to you and Jake. 💕

Happy Birthday Michael in heaven. 🎈

Man in the Mirror
Song by Michael Jackson

I’m gonna make a change
For once in my life
It’s gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin’ my mind
I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?
A summer’s disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man’s soul
They follow each other on the wind, ya know
‘Cause they got nowhere to go
That’s why I want you to know
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Uh-huh
I’ve been a victim of a selfish kinda love
It’s time that I realize
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they’re not alone?
A willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heart
And a washed-out dream (a washed-out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
‘Cause they got no place to be
That’s why I’m starting with me
I’m starting with the man in the mirror (who?)
I’m asking him to change his ways (who?)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
I’m starting with the man in the mirror (who?)
I’m asking him to change his ways (who?)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
I’m starting with the man in the mirror (oh, yeah)
I’m asking him to change his ways (oh, you better change)
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right while you got the time
‘Cause when you close your heart (you can’t)
Then you close your (your) mind (that man, that man)
With the man in the mirror, oh, yeah (that man, that man)
I’m asking him to change his ways (that man, that man, that man)
Oh, you better change (you know, that man)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na
(Ooh) gonna feel real good, yeah (oh, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (na-na-na), yeah, yeah (na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Oh-oh, oh, no
I’m gonna make a change
It’s gonna feel real good, shamone (change)
Just lift yourself, you know
You’ve got to start with yourself (yeah)
I gotta make that change today
(Man in the mirror) you’ve got to
You got to start with yourself, brother
(Yeah) you know
I’ve got to be that man, that man
(Man in the mirror) you’ve got to
You got to move, shamone, shamone
You got to stand up (yeah), stand up (make that change), stand up
Stand up and lift yourself now (man in the mirror)
Go make that change, shamone (man in the mirror)
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know (change)
Make that change

Billie Jean
Song by Michael Jackson

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, “Don’t mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?”
She said I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein’ the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me, “Be careful of what you do
Don’t go around breakin’ young girls’ hearts” (hee-hee)
And mother always told me, “Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do (oh-oh)
‘Cause the lie becomes the truth” (oh-oh), hey-ey
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (hoo)
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (hee-hee-hee, no-no, hee-hee-hee, hoo)
For forty days and for forty nights, law was on her side
But who can stand when she’s in demand? Her schemes and plans
‘Cause we danced on the floor in the round (hee)
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice) do think twice (ah-hoo)
She told my baby we’d danced ’til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo of a baby cryin’, his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
Go and dance on the floor in the round, baby (ooh, hee-hee-hee)
People always told me, “Be careful of what you do
And don’t go around breakin’ young girls’ hearts” (don’t break no hearts, hee-hee)
But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room, hey-ey
Billie Jean is not my lover (hoo)
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no, no-no, no-no-no (hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (no, no)
She says I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (no, hee-hee-ho, hee-hee-hee)
Hee, hoo
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son (no-no-no, hoo, oh)
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one (you know what you did to me, baby)
But the kid is not my son
No-no-no (no-no-no, ah), no-no-no-no (no-no-no)
She says I am the one (no)
But the kid is not my son (no-no-no-no)
She says I am the one (you know what you did)
She says he is my son (breakin’ my heart, babe)
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (don’t call me Billie Jean, hoo)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not- (hee)

Beat It
Song by Michael Jackson

They told him, “Don’t you ever come around here
Don’t wanna see your face, you better disappear”
The fire’s in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man (ooh)
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), just beat it (beat it)
Just beat it (beat it), just beat it (beat it)
Ooh
They’re out to get you, better leave while you can
Don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it (ooh)
You have to show them that you’re really not scared (ooh)
You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare (ooh)
They’ll kick you, then they’ll beat you, then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it, beat it)
Beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right (who’s wrong, who’s right)
Just beat it (beat it, hoo-hoo), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated (no, no)
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight (hee-hee, hee-hee-hee)
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated (oh, no)
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight (hoo-hoo, hee-hee)
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right (hoo)
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right (who’s wrong, who’s right)
Just beat it (beat it, hoo-hoo), beat it (beat it)

Off the Wall
Song by Michael Jackson

When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can’t hang with the feeling
Then there ain’t no room for you in this part of town
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy, that’s the only way
So tonight, gotta leave that nine-to-five up on the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all if you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
You can shout out all you want to
‘Cause there ain’t no sin and folks all gettin’ loud
If you take the chance and do it
Then there ain’t no one who’s gonna put you down
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy, that’s the only way
So tonight, gotta leave that nine-to-five up on the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove (groove), let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all if you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
Do what you want to do
There ain’t no rules, it’s up to you (ain’t no rules, it’s all up to you)
It’s time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose, deep inside your soul
Wanna see an exhibition (a-hee!)
Better do it now before you get too old
‘Cause we’re the party people, night and day
Livin’ crazy, that’s the only way
So tonight, gotta leave that nine-to-five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself (c’mon, and)
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all if you live it off the wall
Life ain’t so bad at all (live life off the wall)
(Live your life off the wall)
So, tonight, gotta leave that nine-to-five up on the shelf
And just enjoy yourself (c’mon, and)
Groove (groove), let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain’t so bad at all if you livin’ off the wall
Tonight (livin’ off the wall)
Gotta leave that nine-to-five up on the shelf (livin’ off the wall, livin’ off the wall)
And just enjoy yourself (life is better off)
C’mon and groove (livin’ off the wall)
Let the madness in the music get to you (life is better off)
Life ain’t so bad at all (livin’ off the wall)
Wanna live
Gotta leave that nine-to-five up on the shelf (livin’ off the wall)
And just enjoy yourself (life is better off)
C’mon and groove (livin’ off the wall)
Let the madness in the music get to you (life is better off, livin’ off the wall)
Life ain’t so bad at all (yeah)

Thriller
Song by Michael Jackson

It’s close to midnight
And something evil’s lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one’s gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it’s thriller, thriller night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah
Ooh, ooh
You hear the door slam
And realize there’s nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you’ll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination
Girl, but all the while
You hear a creature creepin’ up behind
You’re out of time
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain’t no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There’s no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they’re open wide)
This is the end of your life, ooh
They’re out to get you
There’s demons closin’ in on every side
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I’ll save you from the terror on the screen
I’ll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
‘Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller
Chiller, thriller here tonight
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood (I’m gonna thrill you tonight)
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, ooh baby (thriller)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night)
Thriller, all night, oh baby
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, thriller night (oh baby)
I’m gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, all night (oh baby)
Thriller night, babe (thriller night, babe), ooh
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Hope you had a great Birthday Giuliana another Leo August Baby. ✨😎

NATIONAL SPORT SAMPLING DAY

In fact, we want to provide and promote opportunities for every child to grow physically and emotionally through the power of sports.

NATIONAL LEMON JUICE DAY

These brightly colored sour fruits originated in the Himalayan Mountains millions of years ago. However, they have evolved since then, and today the citrus fruit is grown commercially in temperate climates. In the United States, California and Arizona produce more lemons than any other state.

NATIONAL CHOP SUEY DAY

According to food historian Alan Davidson, chop suey is “A prime example of culinary mythology.” These food myths happen with popular foods. Below we illustrate several colorful and conflicting stories telling of chop suey’s possible origin.

ACCORDING TO HOYLE DAY

According to Hoyle Day on August 29 encourages individuals to honor the rules and regulations in particular situations. It’s also a day to pay tribute to a man by the name of Edmond Hoyle, an Englishman who was thought to be the first technical writer on card games.

Good Morning Peeps and enjoy the HSN Community. 😎🎈

Some of us did not begin writing because life was easy. We began because silence became too heavy to carry. Every difficult path gave us language, and every season of healing gave us meaning. The words we once needed to survive may become the very words that help someone else feel less alone. That is the quiet power of a writer—turning what hurt into something that can heal.

Not every path was meant to be crowded. Sometimes the road that belongs to you will require walking without applause, permission, or companionship. Trust the direction your spirit keeps pointing toward. Walk boldly through uncertainty and freely beyond the expectations of others. Your journey does not have to make sense to anyone else—it only has to remain true to who you are becoming. —Rebecca’s Whisper

You were never too sensitive for wanting to be heard. Your feelings were never a burden, and your voice was never something another person had the right to bury. Odessa reminds us that removing the mask is not rebellion—it is the return of dignity. Healing begins when shame is placed back where it belongs and we stop apologizing for the truth living inside us. Your voice still belongs to you. Use it gently, use it wisely, but never surrender it again.

Elegance in Unraveling
Struggle is not merely a hard collision, but the art of rearranging the unraveling pieces of oneself into a new symphony of color.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎I am a wee bit under the weather.
Just a head cold shizzle it had to happen.

I am doing this thread today with my eyes closed. I know this too shall pass.

I hope you are feeling alright and all the mold is gone.

Enjoy the day with hubs if you can. 🎈😎

@sheba2011

I am with hubby and it’s raining with lightning and thunder. We have lost satellite, power and WiFi. As I got into the car prior to leaving, a lightning streak hit the edge of our driveway. A very scary situation. However, just one mile from the house the sun was shining in between white marshmallow clouds. The drive to the rehab was good though I missed all seven traffic lights. It took over an hour for the storm to go the five miles to the rehab. More expected tomorrow and the rest of the week. I”must hoping that none of these will become a hurricane.

All the mold is gone. Thank goodness our dishwasher has a sanitize button. I have the dishes soaking in Dawn. They should be ready for the dishwasher when I get home.

Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Drink plenty of liquids and some chicken soup. Put your feet up and just rest. As you stated, “this will soon pass.” Goodnight. Pleasant dreams.

@oodiebom,

Good evening I am still not feeling normal so i just remembered your husband’s birthday. 🎈
I know I am a day late my bad I like to remember things but the weather and the cold is
blocking my head. LOL!

Happy Birthday Mr. Oodiebom from your wife. 🎈😘💕

I miss making the birthday thread for the Community so sad no one wants it. I miss all
the threads I use to do and we all had fun. 🎈Those were the good ole days.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Oodie!!

@oodiebom,

Mr. Oodiebom,

Many happy and healthy returns of the day. 🎈😎

From all the girls on the Conversation Thread. 🎈

@oodiebom,

Happy Birthday Mr. Oodie. 🎈😎

@taci,

Good day in S. California typing with my eyes closed so anything goes. 😎🎈
Have a slight head cold hubby gave it to me I will ride it out and just rest today.

I hope you are having a great day. 🎈😎

I hope your husband and family are doing well.

Sheba, Hope you feel better soon.
This heat is getting to everyone.
Can’t wait for the Fall weather and it’s hopefully almost here!
Hubs is still busy taking care of things and he has done so much already. Sometime between April-May he was gone 37 nights. Longest in our marriage but it’s all ok. Par for the course.
Got lots done as far as organizing in the home since its so hot outdoors. We hit 94 and then 96.
I decided to spread the grass seed even though it was too hot. I just don’t want the area to all die off. I replanted some plants in the back that are managing to survive.
Take it easy peasy and sincerely hope your feel better soon.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I know you know it was a close game. 😎🎈Just a bit under the
weather. Still thinking of you.

Sending good vibes to you and Jake. 🎈😎😘

Sly & The Family Stone Lyrics
“Hot Fun In The Summertime”

End of the Spring and here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there

Them Summer days
Those Summer days

That’s when I had most of my fun, back
High, high, high, high there

Them Summer days
Those Summer days

I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it’s true
Ooh, yeah

Hot fun in the Summertime
Hot fun in the Summertime
Hot fun in the Summertime
Hot fun in the Summertime

First of the Fall and then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there

Them Summer days
Those Summer days

Boop-boop-ba-boop-boop when I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it’s true
Ooh, yeah

Hot fun in the Summertime
Hot fun in the Summertime
Hot fun in the Summertime

Sly & The Family Stone Lyrics
“Everybody Is A Star”

Everybody is a star
Who could rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine
Who will come out on a cloudy day?

‘Tis the sun that loves you ’round
When the system tries to bring you down
Every had to shine at night
You don’t need darkness to do what you think is right

Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be

Ever catch a falling star
Ain’t no stopping ’til it’s on the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle goin round and round

Enjoy what you do. 😎🎈

NATIONAL THOUGHTFUL DAY

What encompasses a thoughtful day? Sometimes it’s an awareness of fulfilling another’s needs. Whether they are celebrating something already or need a pick-me-up, being aware generates a multitude of thoughts that result in thoughtful acts. It can be a small token or an inspirational word. Either way, your thoughtfulness makes others feel special.

NATIONAL RED WINE DAY

Throughout the year, wine days afford us the opportunity to taste and learn about the differences between wines. Earlier this month National Prosecco Day gave us the last bubbly rays of summer. Now we savor the best of the season with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot noir, Port, and Syrah.

NATIONAL BOW TIE DAY

The Croatian mercenaries during the Prussian wars of the 17th century were the originators of the bow tie. This bow tie consisted of a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts. Using the name cravat (which derived from the French for “Croat”), the upper classes in France soon adopted this idea.

RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY

Celebrate the home you provided and the joy your beloved pet brought you in return. When you are ready, you will know the time has arrived to find a new ‘critter’ to replace the emptiness felt. There are many animals yet to find a home. In time, you can be their new home.

NATIONAL POWER RANGERS DAY

On National Power Rangers Day everyone gets to be a Power Ranger! What are your Ranger skills and abilities? Do you have super strength or enhanced memory? Maybe your talent hasn’t been discovered yet. That’s ok! Nor does it matter where you live or who you are. With discipline, mindfulness, and heart, anyone can become a Power Ranger. Ultimately, the goal is calling your friends, color coordinating and celebrating the day!

NATIONAL CHERRY TURNOVER DAY

National Cherry Turnover Day on August 28 praises a tasty and sweet hand pie. These cherry-filled pastries are best enjoyed hot. However, like any pie, many eat them at room temperature, too. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. No doubt your enjoyment will be doubled.

Cherry turnovers are a pastry made by placing a cherry filling on a piece of dough. The dough is folded over and sealed. Then, the individual turnovers are baked or deep-fried for a golden and flaky crust. Tart cherries make the best pies. Since they need added sugar to be palatable, their juices meld with the sugar when baking. The results are tasty perfection!

Blooming in Longing
Solitude is not a void, but a private garden where longing weaves every petal into a silent masterpiece of the self.

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I hope you are feeling better. I can’t believe
what the A/C caused in your kitchen.

I would get out of the house today if you are up to it.

Oz is alright we are around 80 degrees. 😎🎈The Moon was stunning last night.

Let me know how things go for you today.

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California and glad you are feeling much better. 🎈😎

Oz is alright today and the moon was so beautiful last night. 💕

I know you are getting out and about today I would.

Thinking of your husband and his beloved parents.

Enjoy the day. 🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 🎈💕😎I miss you much. Just be well.

Sending safe and loving vibes to you and Jake. 😎💕🎈

“Though nothing can bring back the hour.

rather find strength in what remains behind.”

The rain will fall
wherever it chooses.
So carry your color anyway.
Let the world be unpredictable.
Let the skies change without warning.
There is something quietly powerful
about meeting whatever comes
without surrendering your joy.

Wham! Lyrics
“Freedom”

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you’re no good for me
“Saw your lover with another, and she’s making a fool of you.”

If you loved me baby, you’d deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I’m a baby and I don’t understand

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t need your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can’t escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys

You take my hand and tell me I’m a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you: someday, baby
Someone says the same to you

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do

Oh oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you

Do do do do do
Can’t you see you’re hurting me?
Do do do do do

You’re hurting me, baby
Hurting me, baby

Oh oh

Do do doo doo

You’re hurting me baby
Hurting me baby

But you know that I’ll forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
‘Cause, baby, you could drag me to and back
Just as long as we’re together
And you do oh

I don’t want your freedom
I don’t need to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down
I don’t want your freedom
I don’t want to play around
I don’t want nobody, baby
Part-time love just brings me down

I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your
I don’t want your

The Elegance of Bloom
Don’t let time intimidate your bloom, it is only jealous because it can never stop for a moment to simply be beautiful.

NATIONAL PEACH DAY

Summertime brings plenty of opportunity to enjoy fresh fruits, especially a flavorful, juicy peach. Local farmers’ markets and orchards are busy picking peaches to deliver to anxious peach lovers. Whether you enjoy a peach by itself or use your peaches for canning and baking, National Peach Day is here to encourage you to celebrate this wonderful food holiday.

NATIONAL JUST BECAUSE DAY

Every day we all do things that are expected or required of us. Sometimes we even do things because we have to do them; we don’t know why. Well, on this occasion, that does not apply. This day is a chance to do something without rhyme or reason.

NATIONAL POTS DE CREME DAY

Recipes for this delightful French dessert date back to the 17th century. Its name means “pot of custard” or “pot of creme” which also refers to the baking dish. While a pots de creme traditionally baked in small pots with lids, they may also be baked in other small porcelain dishes. On the spectrum of custards, pots de creme is a loose custard. It should not be set when baking completes.
