Today's Name Day:  Beda , Blenda

I knew of a lady named Blenda.  Grandmother to friends..  Known several Brendas.  Never knew a Beda.

    Today has been a challenge.  Got little sleep last night.  Got up early & started moving things around.  Then a short nap before lunch. Some work after lunch & another nap.  Then carried 6 heavy bags of trash through the house & to the trash outside.  I am not feeling good.  Lots of pain.  No surprise.  Done for today.  Sort of organized.

    One trash bin is almost full.  I can cram more in.  The other one is empty.  Won't add any boxes in it.  Boxes can be hauled away.

    No working today.  No lunch out tomorrow & most likely no work on friday.  Got to be here when KN is ready to move the washers.  I am ready to be done with it all.  Cannot wait.  Harvest will start soon.  Now or never for the washers.

    I wonder how bad our wheat is.  I am scared to ask.  All the fields I drive by going to town look awful.  It is all awfully short.  Cannot be good.  So sad.

    All 3 cats are lazy today.  Maybe the heat.

    Photos today are real photos.  No drawings.

    Got a short email from JL.  Most others were quiet.  No surprise.  Living a lonely life is not easy.  Very difficult.  And you find that no one cares.  Some say they do but it is hard to believe.

 

Love old cars.  These are excellent.  I could actually get in & out of the second one.

I have always loved doors or windows.  These all came up in my memories today.

These next pictures I edited yesterday to give them a different look.

This is Kisse last night.  She sat there quietly.  Slept in bed with me for a while also.

When Cinder was an outside cat.

Nico visiting his Dad.  Wonder if he could sense anything.  They are together now,

Love this graphic.

Just for fun.

                                                                   

             

5/2026 - Tuesday the 26th - MY JOURNEY

 

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.
