@summer slope Happy Anniversary!

I tried to open the quilt picture, and my computer said I had to add something, to look and since our computer is slower than molasses in January, I figured I shouldnt add something else, so thank you @kochleffel and @SusieKIslandGirlits beautiful, the colors remind me of the sea/night sky. I did OK at the Pulmonologist, they had me walk for 6 minutes to see if my breathing got worse, and my oxygen go down, quite the reverse. The nurse could not keep up with me, so she just stood in the hall, and I would show her the oxygen level as I walked by. Seems I should get off my butt more. DH has gotten to the point where they can't do a breathing test because of the holes in his face. Doc just told him to quit smoking, or at least cut down. Tomorrow morning is his surgery. Be at the hospital at 9, surgery at 11. He wants to go to bed early, and I'm with him on that. I did go out to add litter to Munchkins box, and when I walked out on the porch, the kittens were all bouncing around in their box, sat down and stared at me when I said hello kittens. Reminded me of "the claw" in Toy Story. @kazuI hope you are feeling better @NickelpennyI hope that you are surviving today, even though -not admitted, I hope they feed you and take care of you. I hope all went well. Hugs to all of you

Good Monday Morning Dailyites! ITs cloudy, 63 degrees and when i took the cat food out to the strays, it was raining, just a bit. But only one stray showed up. I guess he gets to eat 4 plates of food. We took Donna out for lunch yesterday at her favorite Mexican restaurant. She gave me a lovely flower pin (she said it was from the cats) and another pin from the dog for mothers day. How sweet. Yesterday with Donna, (so there was a lot of supervision) we decided to let the kittens out of the box, and let them wander around on the porch. When we took the first one out, Momma cat freaked out, then we took another one out, and then the third, and momma cat was going bonkers, and when we took the littlest one out, she ran over and tried to stop him from walking around. Guess we will do that again this afternoon for just a little bit. They all slept better after the exercise. Today, it's shower, walk the dog, work, fix lunch, go to the Lung Dr's today, see if I cant send the oxygen tanks back, it turned out they are charging me 183.00 every three months. And neither of us are using it now. Need to talk to the lung doctor about it, as he never asked if and how we were using it. @richwmnNice to have you back. I hope that you had a wonderful cruise. The combination of sweet potato and black beans, add some onions, and it sounds like a good home fry combo, but I like meat. I have been hearing tree frogs at night, its a lovely sound, but other than a rather large frog/toad that got squashed on the road, I have not seen any of them alive this year. Yet. I like tomato juice. Leave the alcohol and spicy stuff out.

@grapau27A recent bomb or a left over war bomb? Either way, how scary. Glad you are safe!

Good Sunday Morning Dailyites! Its sunny, the computer says its 58 degrees, the weatherman said it would warm up to 80. Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers, and I am worried about the outcome with @RedneckBob with it being Limerick Day. I will celebrate Limerick Maine instead where I spent a wonderful week in 77 with a college friend at his Grandmothers house. Yes there was running water, and yes there was a toilet, but she would have none of it, so there was an outhouse, and to bathe? We had to use the pond in the back yard. I wonder how she survived winters.. I like baby bok choy, and since @dfish once recommended roasting veggies, I roast baby bok choy, and serve it with shrimp (along with other veggies) But not in soup. I will celebrate veggies, and all plants even algae. I read last night that scientists have created a new plastic with algae. It is biodegradable. That's not bad unless it dissolves before its use is done. We saw the ISS last night, but not the aurora, and I was in bed by 11. I was tired! I had to watch a zoom video on my next campaign, and while the video was one hour and thirty eight minutes long, with all the notes that I had to write down, it took me 3 hours to finish it. Sent in my hours, and my boss questioned me on why it took me 3 hours to watch a 1.38 minute video. And I dont even really get to work with them until 6/9. We still have not heard if DH's surgery has been scheduled yet. Neither the hospital has called regarding Tuesday, but Carrie Lynn at the doctors office cant find out if the laser is now operable. I hope everyone enjoys the day. Time spent with Moms or memories of Mom. My nick name for my mom was Mimsy Whimsical which I started calling her the day she decided to start dancing and singing "Who wears short shorts?" in front of my friends.

@VictOriannThe last picture looks like an angel going back to the heavens after paying earth with a beautiful rainbow of light. Thank you.

While scrolling along in google land I saw a quiz that said if you could get 15 right, you had a photographic memory. I thought what the heck...the questions were about TV. Apparently I watched too much tv. The results are in You scored 58 out of 60 RetryCONGRATULATIONS!You’re a classic TV show guru. You aced the quiz and demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the golden age of television. You’re a true connoisseur of classic shows, and your love for TV shines through. Keep up the fantastic work!

Good Saturday Morning Dailyites! Thank you @grapau27for the information on the rolling foam. I first thought it was taking the foam off the futon and rolling it back up and putting it in the closet. Which I always find challenging. Last night DH and I went outside to see the ISS go over, and we saw a lot of red in the sky. At first I thought it was a neon disaster, but it turned out it was the aurora. This far south! The solar storm in this area had increased, so I am thinking those up north must have had quite a show. The temps dropped yesterday, very low humidity, had to turn the heater back on on the porch. Kittens are trying to escape from the box, and Munchkin will have none of it. They stand on their back legs, get those tiny claws into the top of the box, and start pulling themselves up , poke their heads over the edge to see the rest of the world, and Momma cat runs over and bops them on the heads until they let go, and drop back down into the box. I followed the nurses directions on sleeping with my head elevated, it actually helped with the pain, so I slept on the sofa, with one cat (who had me pinned so well, that I had no idea who it was) and slept for 8 hours. The whole time sliding down off the pillows, until I became a ball at the end of the sofa, but I slept! 8 hours in a row! No waking up! No leg cramps! No one getting up and turning on all the lights. Sleep, it's so wonderful, if I didnt have to go to the laundromat today, I would consider doing it all day....

@StLouisCruisers Have a wonderful cruise! Bon Voyage!
