Today's Name Day: Maja, Maria
Love the name Maria. My first Mexican friend had that name when I was around 12 years old. I have many friends now with that first name.
I had a great day. I enjoyed every minute. I slept good except for my back pain. Still hurts now. Not bad all afternoon. I have a new pain cream that worked when I went to bed but cannot wear in public. Too strong a smell. Not bad, just strong.
Met my friend LL for lunch at the White Peacock. I had biscuits & sausage gravy. Delicioso!! (New spanish word). We had a nice visit. They were busy, Got there early & no table to sit at. But I waited. Finally some ladies got up & left. We almost had to sit outside.
Then I went to SVAFC. I was early so I sat outside on a bench. Very nice. Lots of people walking by & some chatted. I need that when I am a;lone so often.
MH let me in & so did MH. She stayed for a long time labeling all the photos. I have made a promise to myself that next year I will have one or two photos in the community show. That is our show this month,. Nice that we had a chance to chat. Her daughter, EH, came in for a while also. Good to see her. Did not have many visitors, One lady & 3 guys. But at closing time MH came in with a lady & her 3 kids. Found out we are almost neighbours. Cool. She has 4 photos in the show. I got photos of them all photos in the show for my own memory. Next week I will walk to read about each one.
I am so lucky that MH told me I can work any friday to give MH (artist) an extra day to paint. I am loving this & thanked her today again. And he said because I worked he got a great start on a new painting. Nice to know I did good!!!
Supper was Mexican. Got my usual burritos. Brought one home after eating one. We talked about some guys who worked at Jalisco's years ago & just now opened a new Mexican restaurant in Nebraska MA did not know where so I showed him. Way in western Nebraska. Far far away. No way I can get there. I have no one to help me get there. Or anywhere. The joy of having no kids or close family who are able to travel & to help me. Alone is not good. I must just depend on me most of the time. No one else is here. I ask for no help in my house. People are too busy or not interested.
Did buy a little groceries. I am ok now for a while.
I try to keep politics out of my blog but I feel I must just say my thoughts on the horrible way an honourable man was treated like shit on live TV. I am ashamed of my country & government. I hope that maybe this wakes some people up, but I have my doubts. It is great for the world wide support I have read from all of the world.
Photos are from today. First are photos I took sitting outside or in the White Peacock. The last ones of some of the photos on display.
Work shop of an artist across the street.
The SVAFC shares a building with the local newspaper. This building used to be all newspaper but they no longer print their own papers.
