JULY JEWELS….Day 31

 

The weekend has arrived for those who work all week.  It’s Saturday!  Recently a veteran at the Amvets remarked when one is retired everyday is a Saturday.  Sometimes I am at a loss on what the day of the week is.  It gets really out of hand when there is a holiday involved in the middle of the week. 

Today is another day of visiting with my husband.  I don’t have any pressing errands today, well one but I can get it done as long as I do it by five (the places closes then). Today I’ll going to visit around eleven not ten like yesterday.  Again I made it for physical therapy.  I like being there to see what they are doing and how my husband responses.  

I have no idea why people drive so insanely.  Yesterday people weaving in and out of traffic; no idea where they are going in such a hurry.  I hope some make it safely with their erratic maneuvers.  I’ve always felt if you have to be someplace try to leave earlier and arrive safe.  Better to be late than cause a traffic accident or worse fatality.  

Yesterday the cartoon of the day was RICHIE RICH. I never really thought much about the cartoon or the comic. It was just a kid who had money.  Never found it funny; but that is my opinion.  Again another cartoon that got made into a movie.  Today is the final day of vintage cartoons/comics. I’m looking forward to which one will end the month. 

Hope you have a great day. 

Until tomorrow….have a great weekend; and as always Stay Safe.

                 DAILY THOUGHT 

Crazy people going so fast on the 

       highway

Weaving in and out of traffic

No idea where they are headed 

But I hope it’s worth it with their 

    recklessness on the road 

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

               RICHIE RICH

Richie Rich an okay comic and cartoon 

Not too much of a fan….others were better 

Another comic and cartoon made into a movie

Never cared about him one way or another 

Just the adventures of a little rich kid 

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

  WACKY HOLIDAYS JULY 30th

 Father-in-Law Day and Paperback 

 Book Day)

I’ll read a book recommended to me years ago by my father-in-law

While I read will dine on chicken and waffles

Perhaps blueberry cheesecake for dessert 

JULY JEWELS….Day 30

 

Another typical Florida summer day yesterday. The beautiful morning turned into a rainy afternoon.  It seems every time I leave visiting my husband the weather turns nasty. It doesn’t matter what time I leave, it begins to rain. Yesterday wasn’t as bad as the past few days, but bad enough.  

This is a late blog. I decided to try to visit my husband at ten. I wanted to be there for physical therapy. He’s having a sleepy day. I don’t know what I can do. Nothing definitely I can do. Prayers are helpful to help him through this. Prayers help to see me through this. I am trying to stay strong but there are times I just can’t. Yes I’ve had crying breakdowns and don’t let anyone know how I feel.  I don’t want to bother others with my piddly problems. Ok enough said. 

I wrote about how each morning it’s sunny and bright but by afternoon the weather louder. It’s Florida for you. 

FAT ALBERT was yesterday’s cartoon. I said it all in three sentences. 

It’s Friday and I am wearing my red. 

As I sit typing this while my husband naps, I see out the window it’s going to rain. Of course it’s going to rain sometime soon. 

Until tomorrow….have a good day and as always Stay Safe.  

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

       ANOTHER DAY of SUMMER 

Sun shines brightly in the morning sky

The white fluffy clouds like 

     marshmallows 

A slight wind blows

Palm fronds wave in the breeze

A beautiful summer day….but by 

 mid-afternoon the clouds will 

    darken

Afternoon rains will come….another day

   living in the Sunshine State 

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

          FAT ALBERT (My Thought)

Today’s vintage cartoon Fat Albert

Not a fan of the show

Or the person who created it 

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

    WACKY HOLIDAYS JULY 29th

(National Chicken Wing Day; National 

  Lasagna Day; National Chili Dog Day

  (Last Thursday in July) and National 

    Lipstick Day)

I know I’ll need to reapply my lipstick 

 After having a chili dog at lunch

Then again after chicken wings at 

   happy hour

After lasagna for dinner….who cares

 how my lips look 

JULY JEWELS….Day 29

 

Yesterday was stressful again. I needed junk food after my healthy lunch. As I said in my thoughts desserts is stressed spelled backwards. I was there during my husbands therapy and will try to be there today.  Find it good for me to see what’s happening.  

Another rainy afternoon for me. I waited out the storm before heading home from the Amvets.  I knew if I timed it right I could leave before another downpour.  It worked too. I pulled into my driveway; as I walked inside it came down like buckets. 

Terry’s vintage cartoon is one of my favorites.  I enjoyed and still enjoy that Great Dane, SCOOBY-DOO. The gang is ok but Scooby makes the show. As for making this into a movie, I was not a fan.  Again another cartoon made into movie I did not enjoy.  If I could relate to any of the gang it would be Velma. I like the brainy person she is. The smartest of them all; except Scooby. 

Today is Friday Eve.  

Until tomorrow….have a good day and as always Stay Safe.

               DAILY OBSERVATION 

Again I am stressed….another bad day 

So I decided to have ice cream for 

    dessert after having a healthy salad

After all STRESSED spelled backwards 

  is DESSERTS 

🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

                 SCOOBY DOO

The gang consisted of a brainiac,

  fashionista, jock and hippie

 along with Scooby-Doo 

They would climb into their 

 van called the Mystery Machine

to hit the road to solve weird 

  phenomenal mysteries 

Velma, Fred, Daphne and Shaggy

  could never outshine Scooby-Doo

The talking Great Dane was the star 

  of the show

(National Button Week [7-25 to 7-31];

  Women in Baseball Week [7-25 to 

  7-31]; National Milk Chocolate Day 

  and National Waterpark Day)

       THOUGHTS on THE HOLIDAYS 

Too much milk chocolate candy 

 will make buttoning my shorts hard

Perhaps I’ll go play some ball 

  with the girls to work off the calories

or walk around the park with my dog

I’d rather be at a waterpark though 

  

JULY JEWELS….Day 28

 

Hump Day!  Whew it’s been a roller coaster the past few days for me.  Hope today I’ll be able to get a few errands done after my visit with my husband.  As he likes visits around eleven, today I’ll be there at that time.  I’ll do what I need after visiting him.  Actually his visits must come first.  I just hope no rain today. 

Yesterday the vintage cartoon was ATOM ANT.  Don’t know anything about it or watched it. In my opinion I guess he was a super powered insect.  Enough said. 

Cartoons were fun to watch as a kid on Saturday mornings while having breakfast.  But when I was growing up, we had chores that we needed to do after having breakfast and before any playtime on a Saturday.  We hardly saw many cartoon shows.  One incentive to watch them on Saturday was to hurry through breakfast and do our chores so we could enjoy television.  I don’t think today kids have chores to do.  No I did not live on a farm but in the city and suburbs.  Saturday was changing our bedding day for Monday wash day; cleaning our bedroom and making sure our school clothes ready for the coming week; and yes make sure our homework done.  It was different in the summer when we had no homework or school clothes to worry about.  Chores shaped us into being responsible and learning to do things on our own.  

Until tomorrow….enjoy your day and as always Stay Safe.

             DAILY OBSERVATION 

My unforeseen issues keep coming

I think I’m under a black cloud

Will I ever see blue skies again

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

                  ATOM ANT

Never watched it….guess it’s just a

   super powered insect

But then I don’t care at all

ATOM ANT came out during my

  years of watching the Monkees and

   other teen shows

  WACKY HOLIDAYS JULY 27th

(Take Your Plants For a Walk Day; Love 

  Is Kind Day; National Scotch Day and

  National Creme Brûlée Day)

Why would I walk my plant? 

Maybe after a few shots of scotch 

    I’d do it

But my love for my plants will keep 

  them safe inside

Creme Brûlée don’t care if I have it or 

    not

I’ll just celebrate the day with Mr.        

     Johnnie Walker 

JULY JEWELS….Day 27

 

I come to the conclusion whenever I need to be going out it rains. I usually put off the errand till the next day.  I’ll see when I’m ready to go out if there’s rain. Some days it’s just what it is.  I’m certain it’ll rain later today as always.  This is just Florida in summer. 

My week again is busy.  One thing after another for certain.  I just need one day for not having to run any place. Enough on my piddle paddle life. 

I have not much to say about yesterday’s cartoon GEORGE of the JUNGLE.  I felt it a take off on Tarzan. I like the Tarzan movies.  This George a klutz compared to him. 

The month of vintage cartoons is coming to an end.  Not sure what will be today’s; hope it’s something I watched and enjoyed. Like TV shows I gave cartoons a chance if they were on my like list or not. After watching a few episodes I could tell.  George of the Jungle not on my list of likes. 

Well it’s Tuesday. I’m debating if I want to play bar poker tonight or not. It’ll depend on my mood.  

Until tomorrow….have a good day and as always Stay Safe. 

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

                  DAILY THOUGHT 

Why does it rain whenever I need to go 

     to the store

So I’ll just wait till tomorrow 

Then I’m sure it’ll rain as I venture out 

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

      GEORGE of the JUNGLE 

To me it was a take off of Tarzan

George of the Jungle was such a klutz

Not a fan was I of this cartoon

   WACKY HOLIDAYS JULY 26th

(National Bagelfest Day; National 

 Coffee Milkshake Day; Aunts and 

 Uncles Day; All or Nothing Day)

A bagel would be great at breakfast 

  with a cup of coffee 

The coffee milkshake would be 

  tasty with a bacon cheeseburger 

Of course it’s all or nothing when

 having lunch as an order of onion

   rings needs to be part of the meal

Naturally my aunt and uncle would disagree

JULY JEWELS….Day 26

 

Another week begins today. I wonder what unforeseen problems will arise. Seems some new issue pops up each week. I’m ready for what happens; or hope I am. What more can my husband go through?  Now it’s the possibility of having seizures from the scar damage from the stroke. At least the first seizure happened while he was at the hospital for outpatient services. I’m thankful for that indeed.  It could have been worse; it could have occurred while he was in the transport back to rehab. Unfortunately he has a new med to now take.  I’m in a state of stress over this all.  It just can’t even imagine anything else for him to encounter. 

I keep praying; I know prayer is a good healer and helper. 

TENNESSEE TUXEDO was yesterday’s vintage cartoon.  I enjoyed the show.  Loved the voice of Don Adams as the penguin.  Some cartoons were always enjoyable to watch even as an adult. They seemed to make me forget my problems for a while. I know a lot of individuals are not cartoon enthusiasts but they have always been for me.  Like a good comedy show cartoons made us laugh; as well as comics.  

Ok here’s something I’ve never told anyone but when I read a newspaper I first read the obituaries then the comics the news comes after.  It may be strange but it is how I roll. 

It’s Monday….enjoy the day. 

Until tomorrow….hope you have a great week and as always Stay Safe. 

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

               DAILY REFLECTION 

It’s the start of a another week

Wonder what will happen in the days 

     ahead

I’m ready for what comes my way 

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

        TENNESSEE TUXEDO 

The voice of Don Adams 

Tennessee Tuxedo a penguin lived in 

    Megapolis Zoo 

His friends Chumley the walrus

Yakkety Yak and Baldy the eagle

Always provided a good source of entertainment

JULY JEWELS….Day 25

 

It’s Sunday.  Another day in my soap opera life.  Visiting my husband today.  Not sure how long today’s visit will be. I think I’ll need to bring water and a snack in case like yesterday I get hungry.  

I’m quite still appalled about the free lunch at my vets club.  I have not been there since Wednesday.  I decided to stop by just to see what’s going on there and give an update on my husband. Heard one individual complain that no lunch left in the crock pot (this was about 6pm). Not sure what they thought at that time of the day. Another female said she’ll have to come early Sunday just to get something to eat as nothing ever left.  Then remarked about the possibly of calling the bartender to put stuff away for her.  I almost fell over. What gall.  

As I was giving a few people the update on my husband, one person broke into the conversation talking about how they had the same thing happen to them.  Only this individual’s issue was double.  There are people who have to up you on just about everything.  

I’m getting ready for my day so making a short read. 

Yesterday morning after seeing Terry’s cartoon of the day, the theme song to MAGILLA GORILLA played over and over in my head. I always enjoyed this show but not sure why.  One reason is that he never left the pet store for any length of time.  People would bring him back after a short period of time. I always had hopes he’d finally get to a permanent home. 

Until tomorrow….make the most of your Sunday; and as always Stay Safe. 

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

               DAILY THOUGHT 

Nothing says eye roll when you are 

   upped with your problems by another

Whatever you’re going through 

   someone can tell you it happened 

       double to them 

Seems my issues are just trivial 

   when it comes to other individuals 

      dramas 

 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

             MAGILLA  GORILLA 

Magilla Gorilla theme song goes

  through my head

Like a continuous recording over

  and over

Shame that Mr. Peebles could never sell him 

   even at a bargain price

Though I think if he were really sold

  the pet shop owner would miss him

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
