National Cat Day

Photo of my cats Kisse, Cinder, & their friend Nico.  They both miss Nico like I do.

Today's Name Day: Viola

A special name to me.  A sweet couple name Clarence & Viola were the god parents to our son.

    What a truly awful weather day.  😱. Never got cool last night. Ugh.  Then today our high was 80F but the wind was the worst.  Gusts up to 54mph.  I had trouble opening my front door to get the mail from the porch.  And it about blew me over.  Must have had a bad gust recently.  My electricty blinked & my tv went out.

    On the news they reported at least 5 fires in Kansas & several in Oklahoma.  Videos from Wichita were really smokey.  There were fires north of me & one about an hour west of me.  Glad none were very close.  One was reported to be a soybean fire ----- the combine hit a rock & started it burning.

    Tomorrow is it cooler & rain forecast late afternoon.  And those who miss rain tomorrow might get some next week.  Chances several days next week.  Sounds hopeful.

    Today would have been Mom & Dad's 83rd wedding anniversay.  Miss them.

    I heard from no one until just now.  Grandson, his novia, & their 3 kids.  Nice.  Only thing my other grandson posts is sports stuff.  I just ignore.  Not my sports.  I do not like American sports.  Prefer European or Mexican sports.

    I had a great nap.  I never even felt Cinder curl up on my chest.  And she never moved until I got up.  Very nice.  Then it was shampoo hair time.  It was overdue.  It always is.

    I started a new online program of stretches --- called Wiggles.  Takes about 10 minutes.  Did my first today.  You can pick sitting or standing.  I do sitting do to my back gets sore when standing.  I even managed to just sit on the sofa today doing it.  Went good.

    I tried something new for supper.  I got cheesy mashed potatoes.  Healthy portion.  Add water & heat for 45 seconds.  I added a bit of butter & salt.  Very good.  Will fix more often.  Lunch was potato & bacon soup.  Too good for words.

    Photos are all Halloween.  Soon be over.  We have not had tricksters here in many many years.  I miss the years Mom was in the nursing home.  Fun to see all the kids come in.  And I always got a hat or wig or scarf for Mom.  Fun times.  Long gone.
