This is a sweet poem. Happy birthday LJ Butterfly! I liked the start of this poem, "This morning when the sun came out / To rise in multi~colored sky." It really caught my attention.

Lorraine is a gentle soul who writes beautifully and spreads her magic butterfly "dust" on all of our posts. I'm so pleased you've written such a sweet poem for her. Your rhyme and meter seem as smooth as silk. Thanks for taking the time to shine the light on one of our kindest writers!

    What the neck did you do NOW!?

    I hope it's nothing serious. Don't you have an outing to enjoy soon?

    Oh my, it is so good to see you. Yes, I am actually doing a little bit better, but only because I am taking Advil and it is killing my stomach and my kidneys, but I finally figured out why my arm was hurting so bad. I did not remember this but I had some stacked glass pie plates that fell off a high shelf in the pantry when I was putting something on a lower shelf, and landed on top of my arm by the elbow. I didn't think of it earlier because it only hurt for a few minutes but didn't think it was going to start aching like it has been. But now I am thinking it must have done something to make it so unbearable now.

    Oh, no!

    Will you still be able to go away?

    It was on Tuesday and I did go but I took Advil a couple times and I can't believe how much it helped. And yes,, I mixed it with a glass of champagne, a margarita and an amaretto on the rocks. Brought back memories of old times with these two other couples. And of course one was my Patty playpal. I told them not to make my drinks very strong and yes, that is a lot of drinks for me. Everywhere we went the limo driver first called all the places we were going to and told them to expect us so we had a cheering crowd as we got out, and then he had to open the door for us and even rolled out a red carpet before he opened the door. It really was a special day and we had such a good time.
    And I wrote a poem about the wedding vows, fifty years later and put in on a beautiful gold embossed paper and put them on plaques for both couples.
    Is something wrong with your email?
reply by karenina on 18-Jul-2024
    Nothing wrong with my email that I know of. I haven't heard from you... but otherwise I've received emails as usual.

    I sent three emails to you yesterday
reply by the author on 18-Jul-2024
    I just look and according to my sent box, it says that I sent them to you.
reply by karenina on 19-Jul-2024
    Never got them...
reply by karenina on 19-Jul-2024
    Strange. Not in spam, saved, unread, junk... I have no idea where they went, but not to me! I did get your email today though.

Amazing, as usual. Gorgeous artwork. I love and collect butterflies. I have several tattoos of them that I bet Lorraine would love. Two of them are multi-colored. They were copied from a shirt my oldest granddaughter had as a small child, and represent autism since my oldest son is Autistic. I have a design of small butterflies in different colors, which the same granddaughter picked out, and I didn't realize until it was on my arm that it forms an "S". She did that on purpose as her name is Sarah. I also have a blue butterfly on my left wrist. These aren't my only tatts, but that is all the butterflies.

A beautiful post for Lorraine to celebrate her birthday. Your lovely verse skilfully presents a vivid picture which oozes Floridian sea, sand and warmth. That video is a dream (we used to have a second home on Anna Maria Island and stepping off the plane in winter was like being wrapped in a wonderful heated blanket). I'm very envious. A very happy birthday to the birthday girl! And thank you, Debi. Take care Debbie xo

Again, you have created a beautiful poem in honor of another writer, Loraine. She lives in a lovely state, although this isn't the best month to be there, not that it is a lot better in Illinois. Jazz by the sea sounds wonderful.

Hi Debi, this is a sweet and heartfelt birthday wish in a poem. Lorrain, our butterfly, is a very special person. Her reviews are always upbeat and positive. There is nothing left to say, except ...

Happy Birthday, Lorraine. It's time to make a wish and blow out the candles.

Your poem has good rhyming and beautiful artwork. Thank you for the YouTube. Well done. Xo. M

We are so blessed to know Lorraine! She's such an amazing woman. Like you, she tolerates physical pain, but you'd never know it from all the amazing things she's accomplished and what she writes. She is definitely an "Earth Angel" with a huge heart for people!

    Oh Debi, you don't need to worry bout more bones! 😲🙏💞
reply by the author on 17-Jul-2024
    What happened is I was putting something in the pantry and I must have bumped the shelves that caused the pie plates that someone put up on the top shelf on something slippery. The whole stack of four glass pie plates fell right on the top of my arm and it hurts so bad I finally started taking Advil and I am NEVER supposed to take Advil because it does a number on my kidneys. But that is how bad the pain has been and I am used to a lot of pain.
reply by lyenochka on 17-Jul-2024
    I don't know what you can take that won't affect your kidneys! Do you use any topical pain relief? Sending hugs and prayers! 🙏💞💖
reply by the author on 17-Jul-2024
    I use icy hot. That works best for me. Helen, the pain is so bad that I have used heat, ice, massager, tens unit, icy hot and it got bad enough to start taking Advil and my stomach is already hurting from it, so now I have started taking stomach meds again. Last time I was taking Advil, my kidneys flared something fierce and I ended up with twelve small ulcers in my stomach too.
    That is some bad stuff but it gets so bad that I can't move my fingers even. Anyway not complaining, just was so stupid that I didn't even see them come down till it was too late.
reply by lyenochka on 18-Jul-2024
    Oh, Debi! Okay, praying that it won't cause problems to your stomach or your kidneys. Can you drink milk? Something like saltines and milk might cushion the Advil on the stomach. 💖🙏

What a lovely writer you have highlighted for you birthday poem, Debi. We get a chance to learn more about Lorraine. I didn't know that change was the reason for the pen name of butterfly, but it is very telling of a life changed.

Thanks for sharing,
Hugs,
Rhonda

    I'm the same way, Debi. I've had so many house guests these past few weeks, and the grandson moving in have me way off my path.

    Much love,

    Oh, I didn't know about the grandson. How old is he? Will he be a help for Kylie?
reply by davisr (Rhonda) on 17-Jul-2024
    Hi Debi, I'll get back to you on the grandson, but he is a big help. Right now he's a bit sick from trying to adjust to the whole North Texas weather. Eeek!!
