Another Joy!

So, in my last post I was talking about three things that gave me joy. Blog buddy David reminded me in no uncertain terms that I was leaving out a big one!


And he was right!


So, here's to Rick, with all the joy I have for helping to keep me sane and content during lockdown. Trust me, his job isn't always an easy one!


But it does come with benefits!

  15. Oh Jeanie this is such a very sweet and heart-felt post! A toast to Rick for being your strength in this time of Covid, and let me also start a toast for you who is one of the few blogpals I have that keeps me sane and away from too much worry in my time of lockdown.

  22. Good morning Jeanie!

    Ain't misbehavin' is what's going on over here too! I can't get into any fun mischief being (fortunately) employed from home all day. I need to get up once in a while to look out the window and simply dream of playing with friends in exploring photography or just hanging out!

    That is one fun video!

  23. Together, yet apart. Apart, yet together. A joyous post, dear Jeanie and a wonderful tribute to Rick.

  26. Cheers to you and Rick, Jeanie (can't you see the wine glass?) It's good to know you are both doing well and sharing together and keep on doing so. Everyone needs someone and Rick is definitely yours!

  27. Really enjoyable post, as always I find it.

  28. How sweet. Yes you cannot forget him too! Janice

  29. Very sweet...I have been social distancing alone except for the furs. Sometimes that can be a good thing, no one to get on your nerves and in other ways it can get rough, no one to talk to. I am ready for a dinner out with friends.

  30. That's a great photo of you two!

  31. Yes, Rick deserves to be on the list. Especially if your personal struggles are putting him through as much as mine are putting poor Kelly through. Grateful to have him here, that's for sure!

  32. A lovely tribute to Rick. We are lucky to have great men in our lives :)

  33. Cheers to Rick! You guys are lucky to have enough other. This would be a hard time to be alone. We worry about Joan. Having our cat out there helps and she came out last weekend for a socially distanced dinner. We were outside most of the time and kept our distance. She is coming again tomorrow as it’s her last chance to see Paul before he goes back to daycare on 5/1. I am glad the weather is warming up so she can go on walks and have some socialization.

    I’m also very thankful for Phil. He does all oir grocery shopping and errands! And keeps me sane and calm!

  34. I don't know what I would do without my Jim! You and Rick have a seemingly similar relationship to us. We are lucky women! That is a fantastic tune. I listen to the Frank Sinatra station on Pandora regularly which plays this tune as well as many other feel good songs from the good old days. Happy music gives us that little extra lift we all need these days.
