Today's Name Day:  Dagny, Helny

    Not much to say today.  Home alone with little communication with the outside world,  Email from JL.  Texts from CF, JR, & MM.  Warmer weather today.  Warmer again tomorrow.
    Slept good.  Cinder comes & goes between her chair & curling next to me.  I barely notice.  Same for nap times.
    Working the next 3 days.  My last full weekend of work.  Hoping it is a fun weekend!!
    Photos are autumn, farm, art, etc.

09/2025 - Miércoles the 03rd- MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Anita, Annette, Tord, Turid
My first daughter-in-law was Anita.  She was the best.  I miss her & think of her often.  Mom had a friend Annette.  Every card she sent to people had a tatted flower in it.  Lovely.


    I did not blog last night as I was too tired.  Had a board meeting at 6pm then a program.  I stayed for it and some treats afterward.  I do not fit in most of the time but a sweet lady sat with me.  Nice not to sit alone.  I enjoyed visiting with her.  Did not get home until 9pm.  I just did my spanish lesson. Then I was done!!  💤
    Today I did nothing.  Had rain late morning.  Had water over my driveway so somewhere west of me there was more rain than I had.  The little creek that goes through our pastures doesn't even have a name.  No idea where it starts or where it ends.  There is not a large culvert in my drive so the water backs up & floods my drive.  Does not happen very often.  Did not amount of much today but I was afraid to leave & have it rain more & then I would have trouble getting home.
    The weather is playing havoc with my back.  Sure gets old.
    Yesterday MM & I had lunch out.  And he had a couple of nice gifts from me from he trip to Manhattan.  He is the beset.  He worries about me. 
    A bit warmer today.  I rested.  Cinder was near me all afternoon.  She is a blessing.  Kisse stays near me also but she is not a cuddler.  Sometimes in bed she will sniggle.
    I use a stylus on my iphone.  I have two of them.  one won't charge anymore.  The other works but not properly.  Ordered a new one.  Hard to find one that I want.  They all now have a weird end.  Don't like them.
    No plans tomorrow.  Lunch out got cancelled & JR is too busy to eat with me.  A day at home.
    What a mess our country is.  Two shootings today.  One a conservative who supports no gun laws & is now dead.  The other kids in Colorado.  And most of our government refuses to talk about what to do.
    Photos are a mix of whatever I like.

09/2025 - Martes the 08th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Alma, Hulda


    Today was a day of rest.   I slept ok until around 4am.  I had been watching the radar & a small area of rain appeared.  Not doing much so I went to sleep.  Then around 7am a loud crack of thunder woke me up!  Radar showed a big storm of heavy rain.  It proceeded to thunder loudly all day until around 630pm.   I got lots of rain.  Got 3.82".  What a miracle.  There were places near me that got around 9-10".  With flooding.  I mostly stayed inside today.  At supper time I looked out at my driveway.  It was still under water.  I maybe could drive through if I needed but not safe to try that.
    MM & I planned to eat out this noon.  But I cancelled due to my driveway.  Will try again tomorrow.  I changed my day to a Jammie Day!!!  Resting good.
    I still have aches & pains from my accident.  Both arms ache.  Nothing real bad but new pains.  Both knees hurt.  Left knee is better.  Plus I feel terror when walking around.  A little better at times.
    Emailed with JL & texted with MM.  One short photo from CF.
    House got so cold last night.  I finally turned the heat on & added another blanket.  Then we all felt better.
    Photos are a mix.  I tend to post what I like.

Today's Name Day: Kevin, Roy
Had a Roy in school.  A bit older. Good friend named Kevin.  He is a hoot!!!  Cousin Kevin.
    
    Had a great day!!! Slept well.  Worked at the SVAFC.  Today the artist MH, gave a talk about his art.  I have been looking forward to this!!
    He had a huge audience!!!  Plus I met some great people.  There was a couple talking to a friend of me.   Found out when the Old Mill was being worked on so we could turn it on again, they worked on it.  I found out both him & his wife were in many photos I worked on from that time period.  I talked to him & told him I had many photos of him,  Great conversation!!!  The last lady who showed her father's art last month.  She has been very friendly ever since when I see her.  When she went home today she took my hand in her goodbye.  I had a long visit with another local artist.  I wish I saw her more often but such is life.  She has a group of friends but I am not part of them.  Just a great day & glad I was part of it.
    Supper was sallad at Pizza Hut.  Love it.
    On my way home MM called.  But I dared not touch my phone.  Too much traffic.  He was gone all day yesterday & today.  Had a great visit.  Will see him tomorrow for lunch.  Good.
    The house was too warm when I got home.  Turned the cool air on.  Much better now.
    Got the sticker for my car's license tag & got it attached tonight.  They were fast!!!
    Found a new show on CNN called Have I Got News For You.  Based on real news but sort of a comedy.  I am enjoying it,.  It is a weekly show.
    Photos are a mix.
Love this painting!!  Poor guy!!
