Well, I hung in there yesterday until it was time to go out to birthdays dinner. I came down with something that upset my tummy on Wednesday, and by yesterday afternoon, I felt pretty wimpy. I stayed home. The birthday boys and our oldest son celebrated without me. Tomorrow we have a big family party at my hubby’s mom’s house. Hopefully I’ll feel up to making that party. Guess I’m home because I’m not well, wrecking Stay Home Because You’re Well Day! ☹️🤣

I so loved reading and learning about Mississippi. Thank you, dear twin! I haven’t been to any of the states in the south and southeast and know so little about them. Magnolia trees grow in California, and they are one of my favorite trees and flowers. There are so many interesting attractions and trails I’d love to see if I ever do make it to Mississippi. 😊 I think I’d skip the alligator farm, though. I don’t know why, but as a little girl, I was frightened of them, and it’s not like I was ever gong to meet an alligator walking around in California! 😂 I thought they could hide under my bed too. 😱

I love Mason Jars. They bring back such good memories of my childhood and teenage years when my mom, grandma, and aunt would do lots of canning. Until I moved to Oregon, I never had store-bought canned fruit and veggies. All the canned fruit and veggies I ate were either frozen (veggies) or home canned. I still can’t eat store-bought canned peaches to this day. I washed and hauled my share of jars, rings, and lids as I got older. 😊

Between my youngest son and hubby, my computer and internet are safe. It’s so nice having nerds in the family! 🤓 Chocolate mousse is delicious, but I don’t think I’d like it on salmon, as stated in the info up there. Now that we have awareness days for harmful and addictive substances such as meth, and we have an idea of just how big the number of people with addiction problems are, hopefully the increased awareness and education gets more and more people the help and treatment they need to get well. I know out here in my state, there are more people requesting help than there is help and treatment centers. I also hope that someday, even the poor can get help, not just the ones who are blessed with good health insurance.

Sending chocolate hugs to everyone! 🤗🐶🤗🍫💖😊
