@SandySparkles ...Another tee shirt with writing on it that I had to share with my dear friend...
SOME GIRLS
ARE JUST BORN
WITH THE
Beach
in their souls
Of course I had to laugh out loud when I read it. 
However, the more I see things like that, the more it brings back so many memories. I went through all my pictures a few days ago and when I saw myself at the beach I almost cried from sheer joy. 
Just looking at the beach itself with the sand you first walk on when you arrive and then the pebbles
the rest of the way before you hit the water. "Those were the days my friend, those were the days."
The thing with the ants that day,
was trying to figure out how to lift the dish with the cake on it without having the ants scatter every which way, including up my arms.
Your salted cake sounds like a lot of work, but if you enjoy it, then it's all worth the effort. 
I love the way you described the cake, you have an excellent and delightful way with words.
So you gave in and treated yourself to the Adjustable Stand you have been yearning for, good for you. I noticed lately I have purchased more items than usual, I wonder why that is...boredom perhaps? Or too much time spent at the computer online? Hmmm, I think both is the answer. We deserve to be good to ourselves as long as we don't go overboard. 
Here I am again at this late hour, what else does one do when sleep evades us? Read, watch TV, and or get lost online!!!! So I will say so long for now my friend, and oh, how is the snow? Be good to yourself, Lindsay asked me earlier to say hello to you if I send you mail, so, "Hello Aunt Sandy." And Yuki says "Arf, Arf"
@SandySparkles Can you imagine how many people have and are doing exactly what we were doing? Shopping!!!! 
I decided to add to my wardrobe which I haven't done in a very long time. Zulily caught my eye and now all I have to do is figure out where to go while wearing my new lovely clothes, and I haven't finished yet!!! 
There are packages that haven't arrived that I'm looking forward to receiving.
I am delighted to hear that your energy level has improved and if it causes you to shop, oh well, it's for a good cause.
I don't shop the homeshopping networks anymore. When I retired I gave it up and am very proud of myself for not giving in to temptation.
I still have many pieces of jewelry I bought over the years, particularly from QVC, such as Joan Rivers, Ann King's beautiful Bee Ring, Judith Ripka, Steel by Design, and Chuck Clemency. There others whose names escape me after so many years.
Handbags were another passion of mine. Believe it or not I still have two of them in perfect condition. And I am talking about many , many years ago. Good leather and taking care of them results in longevity.
Oh my, my daughter just put the most scrumptious cheesecake in front of me she bought at the Cheesecake Factory. It must have at least a thousand calories
but I sure love cheesecake. My mother's recipe is by far better than any cheesecake from any bakery I know of.. It is a lot of work but the result is sheer mouthwatering delightful.
So my dear friend, on that note I will say good night for now and take good care of yourself. I asked Lindsay if she wants to say anything and she said, "Please tell my Aunt Sandy I said hello." So Aunt Sandy, "Hello from Lindsay" Until later...
PS: I saw this and immediately thought of you.

@SandySparkles Hello, are you there? You have a response waiting for you, hope you are alright, worrying about you my friend.
@SandySparkles ...I completely understand the sadness you are feeling because of the senseless killing of so many innocent people at the supermarket in Boulder.
I have two dear friends who live in Lakewood whose home we stayed in for several months while on our way back from Florida to AZ a few years ago.
It is difficult to absorb the deaths of so many innocent lives lost in such a senseless act, particularly the police officer who was the father of seven children. My heart and prayers go out to all the people who lost their dear ones and a speedy recovery for those who were injured.
Recently my daughter Stacy told me I was lucky to have been born when I was, and I tend to agree with her. My sister and I had a mother and father who filled our lives with love, comfort and everything children needed in order to grow into smart, kind and productive adults.
The one thing we didn't have, thank God, were evil people who killed innocent people for no reason whatsoever. We felt safe, how can people today feel safe when there are others who take it upon themselves to go out into society with weapons and kill innocent people?
I apologize for the length of this post, I got carried away, how can one not under these circumstances? My dear friend, I will add my prayers to yours for the people in Boulder and all of Colorado for the senseless killing of your neighbors. Take care, my friend, I care...
@SandySparkles ...Where do I start? I remember during our visit to Lakewood, my two friends and I went shopping at a King Soopers Market. The mind plays tricks and one of my thoughts was, it could have happened at the location I was at on that particular night. You know how the expression goes, it woulda, coulda, shoulda.
I haven't found shipping time to have improved here in AZ. Actually, it appears to have gotten worse. Perhaps that is because so many people are ordering online which causes overloads, just speculating.
Many years ago I was a lover of gold and the majority of what I owned was definitely 24k. For whatever reason, one day I decided I loved sterling silver more than the gold. That resulted in every piece of jewelry from that day on was in silver. To this day I am still a lover of it. Lisa Robertson, I will always remember the first time I saw her and from that day on always enjoyed her.
One of the items I purchased from Joan Rivers was the Lady Bug Bracelet and Earring set. The workmanship is amazing and the weight of the bracelet is that of a very expensive piece of jewelry.
As a young child where we lived there were umbrella trees planted at the curb along the street. We loved them because on warm days while playing outside if we got a light shower we stood under a tree as though it were an umbrella. Lady bugs lived on the trees and we would sing a song to them. "Lady bug, ladybug, fly away, your children are hungry and they want to play."
You can look under Umbrella Trees or Lady Bugs and find many songs related to them.
Lindsay has been informed that everything I own will be hers when I pass. It is written and notarized. Between my art and jewelry collections, should she decide to sell any, will bring in quite a bit of money.
Incidentally, when I brought your attention to the White Russian drink, it had nothing to do with the alcoholic content.
It was because of the other ingredients, just wanted to clarify that.
Other than that, my dear friend what I really need to talk about, which has hurt me to the core, 
will have to stay with me. It is way too personal to put here. In the meantime, please continue to take good care of yourself. The world needs people like you.
@SandySparkles wrote:@Lindsays Grandma My heart is singing!😄 Reading your post evoked such a warm childhood memory! As a little girl, I loved to catch ladybugs because my grandmother believed them to be good luck, and would ALWAYS point them out. I would think good things would happen to me if I allowed one to crawl on me.😊 With naivete typical of a child, I thought a benign act such as finding a penny on the sidewalk was because of my contact with the ladybug. To this day, the thought of it brings me joy, and I love to see the excitement on the faces of small children when I share with them the same.😁
It sounds as if you have wonderful collections! I am certain that when the time comes, Lindsay will have the same care, and respect for your collections as you do. She is quite fortunate to have a grandmother who loves her so dearly.😊
I am SO sorry to read that you are experiencing such anguish in your life! Without knowing the facts, I KNOW that the person I have had the honor of getting to know through our many chats, is quite STRONG with an INDOMITABLE spirit to match!!!😊 You WILL weather whatever the storm may bring, even if the clouds remain gray today! These are mere words on a screen, but please know they are heartfelt, and that I pray God surrounds you with his loving arms of COMFORT to help sustain you during this difficult period.🙏
I am concerned for you, and eagerly look forward to your next update! Give my regards to everyone, and take SPECIAL care today! My thoughts are with you dear friend!❤🤗😀
~~~All we need is LOVE💖
@SandySparkles Oh my friend, I was delighted to find that you too, shared joyful days with lady bugs. I so much enjoy the ladybug bracelet because it is a work of art which brings back so many fun and fond memories.
I wish I could share with you what Stacy did that hurt me to the core. It is private and certainly not to be shared on a forum. It does, however, make me realize that no matter how much one gives a child, how much you do without to make sure a child has everything they want, only to find that the other parent who did so little is the one who gets thanked and is missed.
There is a lot of history where Stacy is concerned. She was four years old when her father and I divorced, not for selfish reasons, but for necessity. I had two children from my first marriage and Stacy from this one. I didn't want my children to live in a home where it wasn't safe. No child should witness their mother being hit and or punched and the police coming into the house to bring order.
After the divorce he moved to Northern CA while we were in Southern CA, so of course I was the sole parent. Many years of days of conflict and better days, all on one parent. And quite by accident you find out the other parent who was not in the picture, by choice, is suddenly thanked and missed.
Imagine how that feels when the one who did everything never got a thank you for anything and appreciation was never shown. That's as far as I will go, and probably too much, but you get the picture.
Did you see my post about Yuki stealing my hamburger?
What was so interesting was that it was a clean swipe, she didn't even disturb the bun, one quick grab and the burger was gone. We have to be so careful with her in the house, she is ready to swipe anything and everything.
Have things settled down a bit since the deadly shooting in Colorado?
It appears others have taken place in different states. I read a short "Breaking News" a few minutes ago of one that took place in Southern CA.
Along with many others, I await my stimulus direct deposit, while questioning why it was decided people on social security would be last to receive them.
On that note my dear friend, I will say how glad I am to have you as my friend. Please take good care of yourself and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
