Lopez and Beau have been out--We have kinda a rain/snow mix falling from the sky--OMG!~---- Now it is SNOW falling--- Lord love a Duck!--Holy Cow!!! ---
Today, I am going grocery shopping for----BANANAS---plus whatever else "tickles my fancy"----
With this Heart Murmur--- (which I never knew I had!)---I shall not be buying ice cream--or donuts --or-G'ale-----not that my new shopping habits will make any real difference-but-- I suppose if I don't try to eat healthy, things could get worse ---You know, my Mom never had store bought goodies in the house-- We had a lot of oranges,-- no chips ever----We made popcorn, and made a cake once in awhile --or Mom made bread-- " Pop "--was not available much then-- I remember my friend across the street always had store bought cookies in her Mom's cupboard and once in awhile I would sneak one_
Life has changed so much --- I remember we had a telephone , always in the kitchen--and it was a huge deal, when we had a phone that attached to the wall, with a very long cord---no TV for yrs and yrs--and when it finally came to our house, it was a black and white picture--an "ADMIRAL" TV, I believe--
Good Morning, great inserts today. (as always) When you think back to what we didn't have as children compared to what they have now I believe we were the lucky ones. We don't have snow falling yet but I'm sure it is coming soon. Enjoy your day and thanks for all the reminders of days gone by.
ReplyDeleteBrought back childhood memories Lynda...
DeleteWe have some light rain falling in SW Illinois, very cloudy and chilly, about 45 degrees F. Usually rains on Halloween..lol.
Have a terrific week and good luck today with the grocery shopping.
Always fun to remember the "olden days"--LOLLynda
Deletegood evening Madeline-- Lynda
DeleteGood morning, as usual I love your inserts. Thank you for your morning CHEER session. I love the positivity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories. Our childhood experiences and memories are similar.
Enjoy today. Stay positive. Nah...chips, ice cream, pop...they don't provide nutrition. As expensive as everything is, I find it even more important to make healthy choices at the store.
Play your piano. Be well and safe.
Hugs
Healthy choices are the best--I agree-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I like the idea of a Smonday! Daisy has been out a couple of times - it feels a bit milder today. But she's still not very happy with things. I'm off soon to make some Beef Vegetable soup in my slow cooker. Should have started sooner but just can't seem to get myself going today! Hope you have a lovely Sunday!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy--- Yu gotta love Sunday eh?--so relaxing-Lynda
DeleteLynda, it is a day to do (almost) nothing for me. The day after karaoke I am really tired.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't like last year. Then they had the people in costume come up and sing. This year there were SO MANY...they couldn't do it. They just called up the top 10 in costume (I was one), announced the top 3 to win a prize (not me)...and that's all. I never got to sing "My Way." In fact all night I only got in 2 songs! My local 'adopted daughters' were sick and didn't come. Neither did the lady downstairs I usually take with me. All together, it was only a so-so night.
I have sent you a photo of me in costume. I forgot to bring my dog, though!
Cold here. Just barely above freezing. It will be below that tonight. Last night there was actually light snow. Got my down coat and boots ready. Have a collapsible shovel to use to get to my car and a windshield cover those local 'daughters' bought me for Christmas last year.
Just took acetaminophen and will crawl back in bed soon.
This is only the beginning of the week. The rest will be great. My Law of Attraction team posted today, "Think only thoughts of health." Of course, the thoughts we think are what we get. Sometimes it's hard for me, though.
Cheers, honey. Hope you all have a great day and a great week ahead. {{{HUGS}}}
Wow! YU were in the top 10-- --I never received your picture--- I knew you would be smashing!----- Did yu send the pictutre top my email==??

If I get dementia, I’d like my family, friends and Carers to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.
ReplyDelete💛🤗💛🤗💛
1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.
💛💛💛
2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
💛💛💛
3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
💛💛💛
4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
💛💛💛
5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
💛💛💛
6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
💛💛💛
7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
💛💛💛
8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
💛💛💛
9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
💛💛💛
10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
💛💛💛
11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
💛💛💛
12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
💛💛💛
13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
💛💛💛
14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
💛💛💛
15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
💛💛💛
16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
💛💛💛
17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
💛💛💛
18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
💛💛💛
19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
💛💛💛
20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
💛💛💛
21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.
💛🤗💛🤗💛

DeleteGreat inserts today. And I love the reply above re dementia. It is really good. and I'm sure all true if you're with someone who has it. Am going to send to a friend whose husband has it. Not nice that the 's' word is already showing up. Hate it! Colder here today and we have to go for a short walk soon. Hope your shopping went well. Have a relaxing night. Hugs Brenda
