Listening to the weather forecasts made me worried for those driving this weekend, and I thought of you and your husband. I remembered the cruise you took last year and how that was the beginning of the pandemic in a very real way for you, and how unfortunate that timing was. So, timing seems to be very important and I am a little relieved knowing you won’t be on the road. However, there is still a hurricane brewing toward Florida, so I wish for you safety and no power outages. 😀

Your reference might be to Spike Jones, that guy with all the instruments. I remember the wild whistles he used!

I am so, so sad to hear about your husband! I also lost my husband–about six years ago. I used to get so depressed in the evenings, about the time he would be coming home from work, so I started doing a gratitude prayer instead of feeling sorry for myself. I try to remember, instead,
how fortunate I was to have known him. We all grieve in different ways, and that is one thing that helped me.
My name is actually an anagram for: soar to new heights, which shortened to: soar to new, which became: soar two new=Rosa towwen.
My real name is Marcie, and I am also a cat lover (as well as dogs and all other animals). ❤️

I’m thinking that it was noticed during the real estate boom, and greed makes it easy to discount such “unknowns” and such valuable coastal properties are always in a real estate boom.

Thank you for those wonderful summer drinks. ❤️

And a goodie! 😃

I have been ordering from Walmart since my car stopped working in November. Free delivery, as I purchase more than $35 at a time. The delivery for the most part has been very fast, though there have been a few hiccups. I live in a house, residential neighborhood, so delivery is easy. They have delivered through UPS, USPS, and other, direct means. When those hiccups happen, I email Walmart and their response–through chat–included a phone contact, where I could resolve the issue. They checked tracking and refunded the purchase, so I continue to use them. I have gotten all kinds of things this year on my doorstep, including salsa, apple butter, chocolate, canned goods, brownie mix, rice, mulch, pavers, and a rose bush.
Their prices are very competitive, and I discovered it at the perfect time. The only thing that ever disappeared was a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups–so, for me the delivery person was the prime suspect. The other groceries, in bags, were sitting on the porch. When I spoke with a Walmart representative on the phone, they gave me a refund–so definitely do follow up on that.

I don’t usually, but the 2 promo pictures ended up on the same page, so I could readily compare them when I went to check; otherwise, I really couldn’t remember what she was wearing.
