National Solitaire Day

Today's Name Day: Hemming, Henning

    Today was a work day.  I drove up to the Old Mill & there was a huge piece of construction equipment.  I wondered if I could get in the front door.  But it was blocked off for safety so I got in easily.  We had some pillars on the front porch that were beyond old.  As they took one down it broke in pieces!!  One was so rotten it was completely rotted away from the concrete!!  Amazing!!!  Looks much better with the new strong wood  Soon the porch will be redesigned.  Will be moved to the side so people in wheelchairs etc can get in easily.  Now all we have are steep steps leading to the porch & front door.  Fun & interesting times ahead.

    I am still working on portraits of men that are not identified from one photographer.  I am up to over 100.  These are going pretty easy.  One I did I really liked.  It had 3 guys in it & one had an neat look on his face.  And another the man looked like he had stuck his finger in an electric plug in.  It was standing on end!!!  Wish I knew who some of the photos are.

    It got quite chilly last night.  Love that.  I sleep better if the house is cool.  It was cold when I got up.  I turned the heat up a bit.  BUT........I forgot to turn it back down.  Got home tonight & it was toasty & warm.  It is good now.  Storms are forecast tomorrow.  :And all weekend.  Hope there is some dry times.  Have flowers to put on graves for our Memorial Day.

    Supper was Mexican food.  Always good to see my friends.  One of the waitstaff was on his day off but just there for supper.  Typical for him he was drinking a beer or two.  So I got a really nice hug from him.  A nice strong hug that lasted for a long time.  We have known each other for many years!  Once he had gone back to Mexico but he found a lady to help him call me & for us to talk to each other.  About every week or two.  No idea why.  He must like me.  And still does.  He always comes out from the kitchen to see me when I come to eat  Nice to have someone who likes me & lets me know.  And we joke a lot,  Sometimes with only hand signals!!  So much nicer than being invisible to most local people.  I am used to it.

    Last night my great neice graduated from junior high & is now an official high school student!  Proud of her.  No idea if they had a party for her or not.  I was not invited if they did.  Several people there who do not like me.  No problem.  It is what is what it is.

    Photos are a mix again.

                           

Great giant rooster in town.  Love him!

The meditation garden at a local church.  Not sure what they call it, but I have gone there to sit sometimes.

Salina has a yearly old car show that goes up & down a local street.  And those who drive can donate money or food.  I do not have an old car but anyone can join the parade,.  We did for a little while then parked to take photos of some cool cars.
