Getting Older, POTD, Shop News

What's on my mind?

I had a lovely time getting to know a new doctor this week. The doctor I have seen since I moved to Jackson has left town to start a practice in Bend Oregon. If you live there I can highly recommend Dr. Ellen Meyers MD.

Anyway the new doctor.....
She asked if I wanted a flu shot and I said yes. That pleased her and me. I missed a year once and caught the flu. I never want to be that sick again if it can be avoided. I know the shot doesn't provide perfect protection but so far the years that I got a flu shot I have not gotten the flu.That's good enough for me.

Now about that getting older part of today's title.....
It seems that my bones are thinning. I learned that is it the curse of post menopausal white women and that is exactly what I am. So I will be starting a once a week dose of medicine to improve my bone health. I guess that is better than breaking a hip. I will let you know at my next bone scan, in a year, how this works out over time.

Today I am sharing with you one of the beautiful sunsets from our recent Caribbean cruise. This one was just off the coast of Grand Cayman. The sky really was just like this. I have not edited or enhanced this picture in any way. Stunning, isn't it?

News from Cozy.Etsy.com

Great excitement and some worry in the shop this week. I sold a hat to someone on the other side of the country and that is the great excitement part.  Things I mail from here typically go from here to a bit sorting center in Salt Lake City which the package did. Now the worry inducing part. The package left Salt Lake the next day and has been in transit ever since. It should have been delivered on Monday and it is now Wednesday. I know this is a busy time of year for shippers but I am worried.
Let you know more about this next week.

Half Moon Cay by Holland America

What's on my mind?

Keeping today's post simple after being away for the last three Wednesdays. We got to go on a cruise during the time I was away. I will fill out the details of the last three weeks a bit more in coming posts.

One of the stops on our cruise after leaving Ft. Lauderdale on the Nieuw Amsterdam was Half Moon Cay. This is a private island owned by Holland America Cruise Line.

Tenders bring you from your ship to the beach and what a beach it is! Nothing in this world is much prettier that a soft, very soft sand beach and the turquoise Caribbean Sea. The day on the beach includes a barbecue that was fed to all those taking advantage of the beach day.

The picture below is of a cabana on the beach. These are available, for a price of course, with food, snacks, drinks and a butler to take care of you. It was more than we wanted to pay for just two of us but it would be a luxurious way to spend the day. All of them were painted in these bright, tropical colors so I just had to take a picture.

What's new at Cozy.Etsy.com?

The shop is reopened. Remember all my items are ready to ship. No waiting for made to order items from my shop. I would also like to remind you of my selection of dishcloths, perfect to clean your home every day as well as being great hostess gifts during the holiday season.

Another cruise photo for you. This is sunset off the coast of Florida on our first night out to sea. It was a lovely way to start the cruise after leaving port in the late afternoon.
