      @butterfly123,

           Ah, how very absolutely sweet.

I """""JUST"""" came on after 2 days. I began to start from the 1st,    ~~ >you< sweet lady. ~~

 I was so very tired, had been up all day, possibly no sleep the night before, if any..maybe 4 hours....Haaaa, definitely thought I was on SWC, but there were friends on the other we [ALL] know, so in hindsight they read exactly what I meant to express.

Butterfly, thank you so very much. I thought of you after your daughter's birthday + Christmas get-together, wondering how are you feeling today?

  We do love our children so much, like you, I have only my precious ONE child, a son. There's an indefinable connection most MOMs have when having just one, especially when the (well mine) labor and delivery was very long, very difficult= 10 lbs, 3 oz for two entire days leaning into the 30 hours mark

       Actually, as I have heard, I should not be here.

[[[ There one was  but  that`one specialist, a surgeon, that saved my life]]]  -adding I was in the hospital for close to 14 days.

 I had to take a 2017> semi respite and decompress after the start of November to mid December when it came to December 31st.

                   I did think I was here.  ! ! !

Everything changed drastically when I had that fall from last March.

Still have to go back, and we speak of some type of surgery repair..not -nor- will - __CANNOT heal on its own__. 

  Ha, and to think i was doing the Bossa Nova dance minutes before.      ...kidding,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!

                                                                        love and hugs, 

NAES

Your earlier post just invites the lyrics so here they are:    I hope it's warming up where you are.  We're still in the teens with a real feel of 2.  Brrr.  Have a lovely day.  I'm starting the new year out right and cleaning the kitchen closet and pantry today.  Taking a short break.   

"A Marshmallow World"

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze.

Oh, The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along.

Oh, It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

It's a marshmallow world in the winter

And the sun is red like a pumpkin head

In winter it's a marshmallow world.

       @AnikaBrodie....... Thank You,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 

  Having no idea how my son would ever come to have dean martin as his favorite, OH I wonder when that happened.

Dean Martin is much older than even I, so you can imagine how much younger my son is to __KNOW__ anything(?) of Dean martin, but he does.

                                     "   ........He has to see and hear this".......

I  personally, can't have my appreciation of Sinatra ...but I can really enjoy THIS youtube.  Just many certain things I don't have in moral common with him- Sinatra.  No GOLD stars for him.

 How is your ankle /foot recovering by now? I've been thinking of you a lot.

  OH, how did the pork roast that you had slowly cooking with simmering turn out= AS Good luck?!

 Heat wave today up to 17- tonight a low, again, at round 2.

@NAES1 I hope you will join us on the new thread. See my post just above your last post.

Hugs, Puddles

Love the collage you shared on 12/22!
@NAES1
How is Sashay doing after the bite? (12/22)
Did your son join you for the holiday?

         @LTT1

                          Sashay is doing great.  THANK YOU for asking....

The sore area is finally ( I believe it was more of a claw fist swat from the jealous female kitty, next door; doesn't look -never presented itself as an infected - - - *two hole tooth bite.

The long days of sleep for over 5 days was what she needed and 100% uninterrupted quiet. We almost had her at the vet if I thought she was infected or in pain with swelling.

This arctic cold has her antsy, add that and 1 husband home 24/7 for 2 weeks and I'm ready to jump into the snow.

It's 17 degrees out, now and she did go out for just under 1 hour, but hurriedly ran into the house. Looking as though she'll go to her sky box (cat tree by the window, soon). Right now, she's cuddled up with me on the warm blanket at my feet. And asleep, again!  SASHAY.

   How is baby Brody doing? And Mom?     ("what a year"?)

               AND YOU?

[NAES1]

@CareBears,

   ThIS IS WHERE I - began- today 

             about 1+ hours ago when

                                                          I  spoke with @butterfly123.

  I have NOT been here for 2 days, so I MAY HAVE POSTED A FEW OVER AT THE FESTIVE ""CAFE"".?

[Puddles]

@NAES1 This is the Festive Cafe thread. I'm so sorry you didn't see my early message about the new thread. I'm sure everyone will come over and read your last posts here as I suggested on the Teapot Cafe.

I love you and sorry if I've upset you. I've got to go as dinner is ready and DH is waiting on me. See you later.
