National Frankenstein Friday

This photo & national day makes me think of & hear in my mind the Monster Mash.  My fave is the one by Boris Karloff.

Today's Name Day: Inga, Ingalill

Great name.  Had a sweet friend named Inga-Lill.

    Today was a great day.  Did not get enough sleep but made it all day.  I was awake until 4am.  Got pretty chilly in the 40-50s.  High today was around 68F.  Nice.  It could just stay like this & forget summer.

    I met LL at the White Peacock for lunch.  I had no appetite.  Just had a cinnamon roll & a green tea with mint & strawberry.  Saw a fave artist & had a short visit, MH.  I will see him this weekend.  He opens the gallery for me & locks it up.

    Then I was off to the Old Mill to work.  We were going to put in a handicap sidewalk on the side of the porch but they found either electrical lines or water lines under the yard there so it is now going to be done in front of our porch.  They have started it.  Will be nice.

    Our new director was sick & stayed home a day or so.  Bad cold.  I avoided talking to her.  I cannot get sick this weekend.  I can get sick sunday night or monday.  No one to take my place this weekend while I work at the SVAFC.

    Got to work & started working on Folder "R".  I had to sort them.  I like the photos orderly.  The largest ones go on the bottom. Then each layer gets smaller with those awful tiny photos on top.  This bunch had many photos with no names.  But most of those were a former mayor!!  I did good!!!  I got all the tiny photos scanned.  Yay!!!  One of the next size larger was Mom.  When she worked in a business in town.  Nice photo.

    Supper was at the Crown & Rye.  My stomach just not normal.  So I had Swedish meat balls with gravy on mashed potatoes with lingonberries.  They are easy on my  stomach & soooo good.  Swedish = köttbulla. Pronounced sort of like shoht-buhla.  When our dad was a kid he thought it was a cuss word & was calling every one a shoht-buhla.  Then he found out it meant meat balls.  😃  No dessert today for me.

    Got home & tried to nap.  Big failure.  Maybe I will sleep tonight.  I hope.  Left the heat on today.  I am always cold in the basement at the Mill.  House felt very cozy.  Nice.

    Cinder has not been out in many days.  She never asks.  The other day she did ring the bell on the front door & I let her know I was on the way.  But she came back to her sitting place on a tall box.  I opened the door & she just looked at me.  I prefer her inside.  I worry about what scared her so bad.  I do not want to lose another pet.  That would really harm my health.

    I use Google for my Cloud for photos.  Every so often Google creates nice collages of photos that are alike.  So tonight my photos are all collages.  Some by Google, some by me.  There is a Santa Claus one that is just one photo divided up.  Google did both my cats so I did one of Nico.
