As previously mentioned, the HH was kind enough to give me money for a new phone for my bday. Mine was nearly as old as I am. Ha ha. Now that's a blatant exaggeration. Nothing or no one is that old.😁 One of the problems I was having was that I couldn't send myself emails with pictures attached. I could email them to anyone else but not myself. Weird huh? Has anyone else had this problem? Show of hands. So when I got my new phone, I thought my problem would be solved. Nope it traveled right over to the new phone. I finally broke down and called Apple and after some trial and error the specialist figured it out. Last chance. Do you know what the problem was?
I never saw this coming nor would I have figured it out. They wouldn't send because the BCC on the phone setting was turned on. Turned it off and they started coming through. Problem solved.
AND...Speaking of the HH here's the Valentine's Day card he gave me.
AND...Pre-retirement, my boss always brought me homemade jams and jellies. I got spoiled. Store bought just didn't cut it after her jellies, until I found this brand. Have you had it? It's not expensive and the closest to homemade I've found. Very tasty. I found it at Aldi's.
AND...Just because it's pretty.
AND...
Belated Happy BDay, Di:)What about you, blogger buds? Unsolved phone issues? Got a special jam you'd like to share? Or a birthday?

If you had the ability to purr to show your happiness, how many times a day do you think you'd purr?
1. Once or twice a day?
2. Five or six?
3. Ten or twelve?
4. All the live long day.
I was in line in the grocery store, not paying much attention to what was going on around me. When it was my turn to check out, the clerk had a bit of a dazed look on her face. She pointed at a pretty potted plant and said the woman ahead of me had just given it to her. "Did you know her?" I asked.
She shook her head. "No," she said and went on to tell me that she'd been having a bad day and that simple act of kindness turned it around. And added that she would find a way to pass it on.
Did you know it's Random Acts of Kindness Week?Floral Delights.The HH surprised me an amaryllis.
The hellebore surprised me with blooms:)
Did you have a good Valentines? Did you know it's Kindness Week? How often would you purr in happiness if you had the ability?

Third time's the charm.
As you probably remember, last week we got to the drive through clinic, at 8:00 a.m., for a vac and got turned away. This time we got to the clinic before 6:30 a.m. thinking this would get us in with no problems. It was a bit of a shock to see the long line of cars already waiting.
We persevered and got our numbers. There were 250 folks ahead of us.
After a five hour wait, we got our vaccines:) Yay!
AND...
Poor tulips. They must not have been listening to Punxsutawney Phil's prediction of six more weeks of winter.
AND...Speaking of tulips. The HH surprised me with these.
AND...We got unexpected snow.
What about you, blogger bud? Got tulips? Got your vaccine? Got snow?
