Adorable!!!!

Today's Name Day:  Doris,  Dorotea

Had a Doris as a neighbour as a child.  Know of many.  Had an Aunt Dorothy.  She have moved away & not seen her in years.

    Busy day.  But a good one!!!

    I had planned on lunch at the Öl Stuga, but that did not work out.  A cousin emailed me telling me he had old photos from Shogren family in black & white. He wondered if I wanted them.  Told him I did & I was working & would be there at 12.30pm.  He never showed up or sent an email why.  Typical of that family.  Probably decided I not deserve any family stuff.   Nice.

    I worked at the SVAFC.  New artist display.  I have never seen that much art in my life!!!  From her entire life.  Loved them all.  I got photos of all & in an album.  And today was super busy.  Lots of people in.  Fun.  I never had time to even get tired!!  And met some new people.  My one boss was in at least 4-5 times.  Good to see her.

    My boss's step son came in.  We really like each other but had not seen each other in a few months.  Had a nice visit after he got his work done.  Before he left he told me to call him when I am working there & if I needed any help at home to just call.  He is the best.

    Today was my day.  Another good friend sent the best text message to me.  I am not used to feeling so good.

    JR & I had supper at Jalisco's.  Much less busy tonight.  Got to visit with my amigos there.  And I even used some Mexican words.  Very cool.  We had time to chat & joke & laugh.  And with their son.  Great.

    This morning my new mouse arrived.  And tonight I finally got it to work.  The directions were so tiny I could not read.  But I zoomed in & saw one simple thing I did not know.   Now all is well.

    Photos are a mix.  And easy to load.  Cool.

One of my many chronic illnesses.  It is behaving today.

Today's Name Day:  Agata,  Agda

    Had a fun day.  Lunch out with my thursday lunch group.  Ate at the White Peacock today.  I had biscuits & gravy.  Love it!!  Had lots of conversation & laughs.  Fun day.

    Tried to take a short nap but that did not happen.  Got up to work on a project I have put off.  About done.  Got caught up on my soaps (novellas) while working.

    Cats are still napping.  I am out of one of their favorite foods.  More comes on saturday.  They will survive.  Pouting though.

    Temp got to almost 70F today.  House was far too hot.  Turned my ac on for awhile.  Now set to nothing working.  Fine without it .  Tomorrow sort of the same but a bit cooler with strong north winds.

    No mouse so difficult for me to create my blog.  New  mouse comes tomorrow.  Hope it works.

    Just got a phone call from MM that he is off work today & we could meet for supper.  Nice idea.  Half way to town he called again.  His room mate had started a fire on their stove & MM had to be there.  Roommate is not on the lease so what ever what going to take place MM had to be there.  He is the leasee.  He never made it to eat with me.  Jalisco's was super busy.  I hoped he would make it but he did not.  The one girl has quit & moved to Nebraska.  So it was only MS & her husband.  They were running!  He even took my order.  And the cook delivered to me in person.  It was ok.  Did get time to visit with the 2 workers.  They are the best.

    Home now.  Time for photos.  Not too many.

 

White Peacock

You would never see me on skates!!!! Scary!!

Today's Name Day:  Anselm,  Ansgar

    Had a good day.  Worked at the Old Mill.  Got lots of photos done.  Small batches.  One was a booklet of photos.  There was a quiz printed out with facts about Smolan.  Only the questions & 4 answers that could be right answers.  But there are no correct answers anywhere.  Will share with a Smolan group for fun!!

    Stayed cold today.  Saw a high of 42F.  Quite chilly.  And cloudy.

    Had a big shock last night.  During my spanish lesson & I moved to a higher level.  What a surprise!!!

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Good to see everyone.

    Got home & ready to blog.  My mouse quit working.  And I cannot find my old one to save my life.  Ordered a new one.  Be here on friday.  Hope it works.  Dang.  This will be a short blog.

    Photos are mostly candles that showed up in my memories yesterday.  Old photos.
