 :A Toast to New Orleans and all the Survivors of Codiv 19- September 15

 

Good Afternoon my darling friends! We are breathing a sigh of relief because we avoided Sally's wrath.

 Today, Tuesday, September 15 we are waking up grateful that Louisiana is no longer under a hurricane warning as Sally shifts east.🙏 Let's pray for the residents of Alabama, Mississippi, and the Florida Panhandle🙏🙏🙏🙏
Darlings, please continue wearing your mask and exercising social distance. Be grateful to be alive and healthy! We are blessed. Let's pray for the sick and those that died.🙏
Have a beautiful day! Take time to enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment. Happy Tuesday!
Always keep a bottle of wine in the fridge for special occasions. You know, like a Tuesday.!😘😜
