Today's Name Day: Vilhelmina , Vilma
Love the name Vilhelmina but never known anyone with it. Have known several Wilmas in town and maybe a long ago cousin.
Today could have been better. Another sleepless night. But a nice afternoon nap helped. Cats stayed near me. Fed Daisy special foods she likes today. That is good for her.
Last night I came nose to nose with a raccoon on the porch. Not the huge one. This one thought she would just walk back up to eat. Nope. I yelled & she ran away. Idiot. Fed Daisy earlier tonight.
Trash was picked up & the bins were put back where I want them. I am always surprised they do that.
It is official. My washer has quit working. I have tried every setting & not one will spin. I had a small load I had to empty dripping wet clothes out of it. What a mess. No bueno!!!
I called KN today to ask him to get me a new washer & plug my dryer back in. He said I will have a new washer this week. Too close to harvest to fool around & wait. So tomorrow I am not going to work & will move what will be in his way. I want to be ready so when he is ready it is not big deal. And on the day I will sit in the hall making sure the cats stay put. They usually just run to hide. Hope to they are napping in the bedroom. I can lock them in there.
I am trying hard to not watch anything on CBS. I miss our local news people but. I don't watch often. Couple of times a day. There are 2 shows on thursday nite I watch & 2 soap operas. Not giving up shows I enjoy. I have far too few enjoyable things in my life. During Covid I quit watching the networks. Every thing shown were reruns. I got to where I loved the travel channel, the discovery channel, & anything Josh Gates created. His reruns are better than anything on the networks. Their shows are just the same garbage over & over ---- all blood & guts.
Hot today. Tired of it. Rain & cooler weather on the way this week. Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon we will only have dust & heat & drought.
I had 2 photos yesterday that made me cry. Touched that both Willie & I got remembered. I am sharing them & will explain. One is a distant cousin that lives to the far west & NW. We used to write to each other often but he is not well. But we still love each other. He sent me a photo yesterday. The second photo is of KN & his kids at Willie's grave. And he said Willie's best friend DD had been there on sunday. KN said the daisies behind Willies grave are still gorgeous.
Someone close to me is having trouble dealing with things alone. Wish I was closer so I could help. I always deal with things alone. I try to not bother KN. He is too busy. There is no one else. There could be but those people do not want to help me in any way. I would pay dearly to get help.
How wonderful to have a friend that would just call to go have coffee, or lunch, or shopping somewhere, etc. I have no one. Everyone else has true friends to them but not to me. I am always left out.
Dad in WWII. Probably in Guam or India or China.
No idea why I took this but I am part of a group who post photos that make no sense. It is going there.
Cool cloud.
I love this one with the light shining through it.
AI playing. I can only dream of looking so good.
