Sheba, your windows sound very pretty. We have a few plantation shutters in our living room and they work great. I would love the next house to have them on all of the windows. They are my favorite. The upstairs gets stronger sunlight. Ordered 2 more of the black out coverings.
Sorry your lengthy post poofed into the sunset. We have all been there and it’s a tad frustrating.
Today I was tired and stayed in and didn’t do much except get fish tacos and I will run out shortly to the store. We are expecting rain in the next day or so.
Have a good evening!

What a great looking Grandmother. Wow.

Sheba, The Heidi set you want is lovely and well sized. Wowa!
I know you will look fab!
Today I had to trespass through an hole in a gate, and walk through a large parking lot to exit the trail. One coyote was at the top of a hill I needed for exiting. I think it was about to cruise the homes in the area for dinner. Considering a gym…. But i really love the area and the views.
Added some blackout curtains so my son could sleep better. He said they worked and seemed happy so I will get one more for another window.

Oodie, I don’t trust these rehabs. Glad your Insurance Company responded to your needs. By the way, I don’t know about insurance but I know someone who just had her 2nd hip replacement, and both times PT came to her house. She lives happily alone and one of her kids stayed with her for a day or 2 just in case. You can also add ramps for Wheelchairs, they don’t have to be major ramps just ones that cover the doorways. I know you have checked into it but ask your insurance to help more.
Hope your husband is doing well and you too!

Wondering if Heidi Daus should do boxes for her own jewelry? Many comments mention Heidi Jewelry and therefore needing more space and larger boxes.

Welcome back Heidi! Only one hour.
Lets just call this the Colleen blow out day.

Sheba, Hello! I bet Heidi is calling, especially with all those great sales. I have gone over to her site to take a look a few times. Be sure to let us know what you have your eyes on?
I have successfully honed, and downsized my jewelry and will still buy from time to time but not like the days of the Sparkle thread. Otherwise, I might need a new house…haha
Colleen’s boxes are next on the list but I need to organize a bit more.
The shoes didn’t work out for me, but that’s ok. I really need to try items at the store.

Xango, Hope all is well and you are feeling better.

Oodie, Hope you are managing well with rain, rehab and remodels. I have to agree with Sheba on the rehab. Why don’t they have a small vacuum? and whatever they need? and Staff not helping your husband for 4 days should be reported to the Dept. of Health, State Board of Nursing, Medicare etc… Document. These rehabs and how they handle the older population needs to be exposed and reformed.
On a more pleasant note, The hummingbirds that are in my backyard go to the Aloe and Bird of Paradise plants the most, but also any blooms. I hope your yard will attract them soon.

Sheba, the cakes are art and I hope they get preserved for a Cake Show. I can’t eat any of it but love to look.
My walking friend BC survivor calls me her therapist sometimes. I am not one but over the years I have just listened. It’s great you are on the other side and that your BC was caught early.
Those boots are coming today so will see how they fit.
Hello to the cat kids and Poppy.

Sheba, Happy new thread. The pictures remind me that it is December. Those HD cuffs are lovely and wonderful that you wore them on Thanksgiving. Glad things are moving forward for you and activating!
The Coyotes I see seem to look like little kids caught or they just ignore me. Only once did one come out and watch me pass by and I suspected it was a nearby den. This would be entirely different if I had a pet. They know all the houses with pets and frequent them for feeding opportunities. I would like to see some kind of birth control program for them as the population is very healthy and growing.
I took a look at the Heidi Daus website and of course saw many lovely items but I am really holding off except for the occasional pieces.
