🌸🌷🌺 The Reason 🌸🌷🌺

(Link)

 I am not been having time, to post or to read/comments on Dear Reader's blogs.

Because...  We have been having a run of "bad luck" with heath happenings.  He has.  I have been taking care of him.

It started with my husband's (necessary) removal of 2 teeth.   One was fine.  The other would not stop bleeding.  Spent the night in Emergency Room/Dept.  A horrible experience!!!!   Only ONE doctor, for whole Dept., all night.

Because Medical Professionals, like our Dear Doctor, where fired, if they chose not to get the Covid *Jab*.    We are thus experiencing a horrible lack of Health Care Professionals.   

What that one E.R. doctor did, at quarter to 5 AM, after our all night wait...  Did not work.   We came home.  My husband bit on more gauze, and we collapsed on top of bed, still dressed.   ...........   In few hours, called Dental Office and by then, I could not drive any more.   Our son drove his father over, and a different dental surgeon sewed it up WELLLLLLL.  

But since..... we both have been dealing with being awake and moving, for nearly 24 hours, after that night in the E.R.  Believe me,  at our age, this takes a long time.  .......  All we could do was get up, do necessities, sleep again.  Over and over...

He, of course, was weak!   And one can only eat certain things at first, after having teeth removed.   Then no chewing for days.   So it's hard to get good nutrition.  Plus he had to take an antibiotic, which also makes you tired...

And I was still tired....  and upset from watching all that bleeding and trying to deal with it............   But I had to do necessary things, as well as take care of a very weak, and tired man.

Sooooooooooo.....   Can you see why I have not had the time or energy, to do any Blogging????   😊

I'm taking it day by day.   Really want to and hope to get back to normal blogging!!!!

When I can...

When I can....

WHY???

Well I wrote the whole long story...  And deleted it.  No need to carry on, on the World Wide Net, about life happenings.

Just...  It has been The Week From *That-Hot-Place* around here.  We are still trying to get back to normal.  But we have our Dear Family, next door, to be of great help.  Lucky we are!!!!

Hope all of you, have been having "smooth sailing"....  😊

✨✨Something new!✨✨

Follow Up on last post----About curtseying,  I meant, I do not do that, to Anyone, no matter What they Represent.   No one is in any way, better than I am.  

Trying something entirely new here.  I am on my tablet, where i check my  instagrams.  But am composing a new post, here...  on my tablet....   Without pictures of course.  Not yet knowing how to grab and post pics, with my tablet.  But I can do that, next time I'm on my computer. 

Whoooo-hooooo!  Another accomplishment!!!  🤗   Not huge, but each one counts.

Yesterday (when I wrote this part) we got a front door knob-closing.   Had to do a pretty good walking-jaunt to get to that section of the store.  And then back again.  

Back in car and drove to the flowers department.  Went in there and did more walking around, searching for some flowers.  Needless to say, the good  "pickin's" were getting slim.  Everyone else probably got theirs, weeks ago.  No tuberous begonias for the front pot, but got some smaller ones and they will have to do.

Got some different colored flowers for the patio pots.  And came home.  We did a lot of walking!  😅  And took a good afternoon nap!!!!

Today, bank drive-through, library, and groceries.   The driving tires me out.  Have to be watching for crazy drivers.  -sigh-  My husband can not drive, due to lack of vision.  And  I'm not a "spring chicken" any more!  🐥   I see another nap coming.  😏 

How about you?  Do you find driving, "takes a lot" out of you?   Or are you still a "spring chicken"?   😊🐣😊

👑🌕Full Moon *Effect* ~~ Royals🌕👑

The*dreaded* Full Moon Effect may have gotten to me, even though I didn't pay attention to *it*.  Our front door handle came apart.   Our tv is *dying*.  

🌕

I admit I had great fun, seeing all the Royal Fashions and Happenings (and bits of drama), during the Jubilee.   

But.........

Things like Royals, parading in ancient costumes, for an ancient Garter Ceremony....

And Tiara wearing, at huge Banquets, seem a bit out of touch with our present world.

And I really can't take the curtseying...

👑

My views only, of course..... 

As someone, not living in a country, with a Royal Family.

Yes, it probably looks like one, a teen would have.

But it's the only one I really liked.

Then again, would you expect anything less, of me????

😊 HOORAY!!! 😊

 Mo Donegal, patiently handled by Irad Ortiz, Jr., staved off......

~

...his filly stablemate Nest ridden by his brother Jose Oritz...

to capture Saturday’s 154th renewal of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes 

😊

Hooray for Irad Ortiz Jr. winning the Belmont!

And hooray for his little 'bro', Jose, for bringing the filly Nest in, for second place.   

If she can do this well, against "the boys," she will be one to watch in the future. 

😊

BTW, with all the Awfull-ness going on in our Beloved Country and the world, and with nothing I can do about it, till next Elections....   I hope you understand why I try to put my attention on things like racing, and other not-really-deep-or-intellectual topics.  

😊

OK!!!!

Back to *Regular Programing* tomorrow.

Belmont Stakes today..  😊

Post Position 3  Nest (8-1) is Jose Ortiz's mount

Post Position 6  Mo Donegal (7-2) is Irad Ortiz Jr.'s mount

'Nest' is a filly, going up against the 'boys'

🌼

I made a casserole yesterday, so today's dinner is "sorted," as the British say.

Post time is 6:44pm.  So we can watch "As Time Goes By" at 6pm. 

🌼

On Saturday nights we usually watch "Keeping Up Appearances" after that.  Then "Midsomer Murders", "Murder In Paradise", and "Agatha Christie's Poirot"....

Then tonight at 10pm...

The area college is having a Reunion Weekend.   And on Sat. nights, for these, they put on a marvelous fireworks display.   Just "across the verge" from us.   So we can sit in our front windows, and watch the fireworks, at 10pm.  😊🎆😊
 

Hope your Saturday is going well....

 I came across this picture and loved it.   It isn't big enough, to make a Header out of it.   Sooooooo, I made it my Background.   And searched for a kind-of-matching Header.   💛😊💛😊💛   Yellow  Happiness!!!!!

💛😊💛😊💛

It's raining today, so any bit of sunshine-yellow I can find, helps.

💛😊💛😊💛

The pool was opened on Monday, but naturally, we have rain, now.  No heater, so it needs the sun, to warm it up.  Our youngest "Grand" goes in it even so.    But it's too cold for him to really swim yet. 

💛😊💛😊💛

I am enjoying my Smart Phone!!!   Texting with family is much easier, quicker, etc., than phone calls.   And I am getting groceries also.   A good investment, after all.  😊

💛😊💛😊💛

Our plumber was able to deal with our bathroom sink leak, without having to get a new sink!!!   Yesssss!!!!   💛  our plumber!!! 

💛😊💛😊💛

I'll wrap this up, and get going on the "Secretarial Duties" of the day.   😞   Making more appointments.   Ughhh...   But necessary.     Soooo...   Onward!!!!!!!!

RUNNING  OUT  OF  IDEAS...

SOOOOOO....

🌸 🌺 🌸

 

WHAT  I  WANT  TO  LOOK  LIKE  AT  MY  AGE

My main problem is, I'm not "model thin." 

But this 'nearly all gone' hair style is sooooo easy!!!

I wonder if I'll ever go back to trying to have a specific style, with hair-hair, again?

Or to trying to have some sort of curl?

Anyway...

.

.

After Jubilee Weekend fun, I've run out of ideas.  And the most *exciting* thing around here is, our plumber is trying to fix our downstairs bathroom sink.  If it breaks in the process, we have to have a new one.

Seeeeeeee?!?   Really *exciting*!!!  LOL

I was thinking of the topic of "All the Various Things, We Blog About".   And reading comments, left over night, this is a valid topic.  I certainly write "different" posts!   And they certainly get interesting comments.   😊

 

(Link)

To post this topic, can bring all sorts of commenting views.  Both from fellow Citizens, and from Citizens of other countries.   Our own Country is split, so it's not unusual that people from elsewhere, who don't have any understanding of the "WHY's" of our Constitutional Freedoms, can not understand them.

The really sad thing is, that our own Citizens do not understand them.  

👑

And then...   I stepped into the difficult topic of UK Royalty.   😊   I enjoy the fun of watching "The Working Royals".   Don't think I stepped out of line, on this.

But on the topic of *Those Who Very Publicly Left*...  I got in trouble.  😏

🌼🌼🌼

Well, for one thing, you never know what you are going to get, when you click on this blog!!!!!  😉

👑

And btw, did you know there is a 

Royal Family Channel on youtube????

 

I didn't.

Here  is one, of today's visit of the Cambridges (Prince William and family) visit to Cardiff, as part of the Jubilee.

And another of Charlotte and George leading an orchestra, there.  Adorable!!!

🌼🌼🌼

Hope you have a lovely rest of the weekend.

And I'll keep following my Royal Instagrams!!!!!   Big day (Sat.) today, for those 'in the know.'  -gigggggles-

💗 Poppy 💗 Update ❓ What???? ❓❓❓❓

We have a poppy in bloom, but I'm not even trying to get a picture of it.   So I will use this lovely drawing instead.💗

💗

So far The Jubilee is going *swimmingly*...   -smile-

💗

Prince William and Catherine...  Fri. morning...  Cathedral...  Queen did not feel well enough, to attend this event.

💗

William's Aunt Anne, the Princess Royal in green.   Catherine in yellow.  William.  ~~~~   We (Royal watchers) are having fun, with Anne's expression.    Is it;  "We have your back, William." ?   Or, is it; "We are keeping those Quitters (Harry/Meghan) in their place, are we not."  ?

 😏

Because they are.  

😏

So far The Quitters (Harry/Meghan), have not been allowed any Photo Ops with The Queen, or Catherine and William.   Which they (Quitters (Harry/Meghan)  would seem to need, for their Netflix contract.  To show they are still relevant, in some way.

😏

And don't believe any glowing press reports!!!!

They were boooooood, on leaving the Cathedral.

Just look at Harry's face up there.  Does that look like a happy man???!!!???!!!

 

(And what are those medals???  He resigned from all that.)

But of course, she kept a manic smile on her face, just about the whole time.  Always ready for any/all photo opportunities.   😆

❓

 

ANNNNDDDDD.....

And WHAT is that little bump, on Meghan's chest, under her dress?  Not her breast, it's too in the middle.  More like a "something," hooked to her bra...

 

We Royal Watchers say......  Perhaps....  a hidden microphone.   A total No-No!!!!
 

❓❓❓❓❓

What say you????

 ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓  ❓   

👑 Will you be... 👑

Will you be enjoying coverage of......

 

...Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee?

👑

I will.  It will be fun.

Being American, I do not understand Royalty.  But I love the fashions.   And I enjoy seeing the "working Royals".   

 👑

I have my favorites...  Catherine and William of course. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 

 

And my Very Unfavorites... The *Harkles* of course.  😏

Yes Ma'am, it is hot!!!  🌞

And here is a photo, from long, long ago...   Youngest "Grand"...   And he still loves the water, just as much!

Another old photo...  It's too hot, to stay out there, and try to get a new one.  😎

Left over pork chops, cold and sliced...    Ceasar Salad Dressing on greens....   Cold fruit...   No cooking today!

Did 2 washings, which is all that was dirty.  Just have to fold them, when they are all dry.

Have lots of Kindle Unlimited books to read.

I hope your day, if hot, will be calm and cool and relaxed.  

Remember, anything which looks like it has to be done today, will still be there, tomorrow.

Your health is more importent, than some nagging "duty"...
