Happy Birthday! @kplady 🥳 @Horizon chaser 1957 I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for sharing If It's A Thing Worth Doing Jack, @Heartgrove, I am sorry to hear DSIL has Covid. Praying she feels better soon and that you and DW don't get it. Graham, @grapau27, great pictures of a yummy looking dinner and Pauline looks fantastic as usual.

Welcome back! How was your vacation?

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. For the most part I eat what I want even though sometimes that means fixing a different meal for DH. A salute to receptionists and school nurses. I, to, disagree with the quote. Waiting on Debbie, @dfish, to decide on the meal. It's a bright, breezy morning here at 62 degrees. Today we are going to work on the walls in DBIL's room where the Murphy bed and office furniture came out of. Not sure we'll paint in there today as there is a lot of prep work and it will take time for the joint compound to dry. @cat shepard, Ann, happy you got the new water heater and your garage cleaned. @St Pete Cruiser thank you for sharing the pictures. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. My room in GA is clean, the one here has tools and buckets of paint spread across the floor. I support small businesses as often as possible. I find I should trust my intuition more often than I do. Hemingway had a different way of saying things at times. The meal sounds good... looking forward to the recipes as always. We're starting off today at 66 degrees with a high of 77. Very pleasant for Central Florida this time of year. We did not make it across to the beach yesterday for a walk. DMIL's room was done enough for the bed to be set up but DH needs to finish the baseboards along the rest of the walls. So, that will get done this morning and then on to the next room. Thinking of Graham, @grapau27, today. It was great to hear from Jacqui, @kazu, yesterday. Hoping to hear from her and Ann, @cat shepard, again soon. Off to get another cup of ☕. Have a terrific Tuesday. 😀 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. When my children were little I would wash there socks in mesh laundry bags to make sure I didn't lose them. Speaking of mattress tags... DMIL's new bed is being delivered this afternoon. A good reminder for all women to make sure to get their checkups and that I need to change doctors again due to moving. I like the quote. The meal sounds great. Roy, @rafinmd, I was thinking the same thing regarding Jacqui last night. Did you do yesterday's Roll Call? Welcome home Ann, @cat shepard. Take your time getting settled back in at home. We miss you, but you need to take care of yourself. It is 73 here with a high of only 76 and fairly low humidity. Hoping to make our next break a walk on the beach, but we do need to finish painting DMIL's room before the bed arrives. Wishing everyone a marvelous Monday. Remember to 😊. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Three lovely ladies.

I couldn't get this to post earlier so trying again. One of my favorites of my Mom. (It's a screenshot and I couldn't edit the temperature and clock out. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. Happy Mother's Day! Red Cross and Red Crescent provide very important services. I agree with Roy, @rafinmd, about Victory in Europe and the need to repeat for Ukraine. Irises are beautiful flowers. The meal sounds delicious. Debbie, @dfish, I hope you had a wonderful night's sleep. Vanessa, @JazzyV, and Debbie... wonderful pictures of your Moms with you. Terri, @Cruzin Terri, happy you had such a wonderful day and I'll remember Rome Cab for when we make it to Rome and Florence in a couple of years thanks to you. 🙂 We'll be hanging the doors I have painted so far and start painting DMIL's room this morning. This afternoon DD, DSIL and DGS are coming over which is always a treat. Started writing this a couple hours ago and got sidetracked. Have a blessed day. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. I haven't read a comic book in many years. I love herbs, especially fresh. I have a birth Mother and due to an unfortunate incident I am a birth Mother. I don't know my birth Mother, but the adoptive family and I met before my son was born, stayed in touch as he was growing up and he and I met at his highschool graduation that he invited me to. Now he and I stay in touch as well. They are very special to me. (He is right in the middle of my four children as far as age.) The meal sounds like a treat that I'd like to try while walking through the streets taking in the sights. We got some rain last night, but the sun is coming out now. The high today is 85 and the ocean temperature is 75. There is a Kentucky Derby Social this evening in our complex. According to the sign up sheet it will be a small group in a large room so we are planning on going. Vanessa, @JazzyV, I'm glad you got your car back and that it is driving smoothly. Sandi, @StLouisCruisers, I hope your niece and her DH are well and get home safely together. @Heartgrove, Jack, the news regarding your sister saddened me. Prayers for a safe trip as you travel to visit with her. Still praying she'll get to wear her golden slippers to the summer wedding. @HELENPSL Welcome. Thank you for your kind words and hope to hear from you again. @grapau27 Graham, I'll keep you in my prayers in hope that the x-rays show the doctors how they can best help you. Here's hoping everyone has a spectacular Saturday and for an exciting race. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. My beverages of choice are coffee, hot tea and water with an occasional half and half iced tea for a treat. Many,many thanks to child care givers and nurses. The quote is amusing. I like the meal. Debbie, @dfish, UGH! 😤 I am so sorry you are not having a better experience at the retreat. Gerry, @ger_77, I hope to hear that you and DH are feeling better today. DH was awake for a few hours during the night so he is sleeping in. Since we are sleeping on the Murphy bed in the family room almost anything I do makes noise and echoes since most rooms have no furniture. So I am sitting quietly reading the Daily and drinking coffee. Special thoughts and prayers continue for Jacqui, @kazu@cat shepard, and Ukraine. Wishing each of you a fantastic Friday. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. A beautiful and loving service for Jose this morning. Jacqui, @kazu, thank you for allowing us to join you in paying tribute. Happy Cinco de Mayo! I've enjoyed the museums I have visited and hope to visit more in our travels. Cartoonists have a special talent. Midwives are important. Sandi, @StLouisCruisers, I love Call the Midwife. Another good Rowling quote. The meal sounds great. More painting this morning. Took a break to "attend" Jose's service and eat something. Will get back to it after this post. @cat shepard Ann, prayers that all is well with you. Debbie, @dfish, I am sorry the ultrasound was not helpful and that things aren't going well at the retreat. Shame on them for making decisions for others, especially regarding who you room with. Gerry, @ger_77, I'm glad to hear you feel at least a little better. Praying the cold moves right on our of you and your DH. Have a wonderful day. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.

Good afternoon, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. I never biked to school and have never had candied orange peel. Love to hear the birds and watch them soar. Like most others, I'm not sure about the quote. The meal sounds good. Thank you Debbie for the variations and tips. @dfish I hope the ultrasound is helpful. Enjoy the quilt retreat. @rafinmd Roy, I agree tomorrow is not the day. If you don't hear from Jacqui I would suggest reaching out Saturday. You are a thoughtful person and I am sure Jacqui will understand you are trying to help no matter when you contact her. @cat shepard Ann, thinking of you. @mamaofami Carol, great news from the oncologist. Praying the good days continue for you and Sam. @ger_77 Gerry, praying for you and DH. Rest is good and I'm sure your soup is comforting as well as delicious. Hope to hear you both are feeling better tomorrow. I started painting at 5:00 this morning. DH joined soon afterwards. Stopped for lunch about an hour ago and resting now. We'll see if we resume this afternoon or not. Enjoy the rest of your day. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists.
