Very pretty Dalahäst

Today's Name Day:  Elsa, Isabella

Have known an Elsa or two.  A friend on FB has a dog named Isabella.

    Much better day.  Slept more & only 1 low BS episode.  Nice.  This afternoon was good also.  No low BS.  Nice nap time.

    I always watch the CBS news at 530pm.  Every  day it seems shorter & shorter.  Guess I am usually busy & don't pay attention.

    Met MM for lunch.  He thought he was working this morning but was not.  He works tonight so we had lunch together, nice & relaxful lunch.  Nice visit.  I enjoyed it.  I knew 2 of the help.  Good to see them.

    Then KN & one of his friends DD came in for lunch.  Great to see them.  DD has been ill but looks awesome!!  Then a couple came in & sat behind me.  I did not recognize them.  So I asked who they are.  OMG!! They guy is EC.  Known him since he was a child.  Knew his family.  We reconnected!!!  Nice!!  His 2 sisters both live far away from here.  Cannot find him on FB.  Dang.    

    Weather was good today.  In the 50s but last night I saw it got down to 30F here!!!  Our first freeze.  Some place in Kansas had a few snow flakes yesterday durning the day.  Did not amount to much.  But it is coming!!!  😀❆  In the 30s forecast for tonight also but warms up for the kids tomorrow night.  Next week is very dry.  The weather man says Salina is an inch & a half above normal. They may be but not me.  We always miss much of the rain.  Always.

    MM & his friend W are going to fix the screen on my bedroom window.  It is shredded beyond help.  Next week.

    Ordered some new foods for me to eat.  They are puff pastries.  Main dishes & desserts.  Tonight I had eggs & meat & for dessert apple pie.  I did one wrong but it still tasted good.  Dessert was great.  I have had them before but forgot how they heat.  Next time will go better.

    Spanish is next.  I dread it.  Last night went fairly good.  Just makes me nervous.  Maybe I should just not care & do what I can.  No matter how bad.  If I can't, I can't.  Who cares!!

    Tonight is my fave tv night.  Two good shows.  Fun tonight!

    Photos today are a seasonal mix.

     

Me for Day of the Dead.  Wish I could do this for real!!

Kisse

Cinder & Nico loving each other.  We sure miss Nico.

                                                        

07/2025 - Jueves the 17th - JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Bruno

    Had a good day & night.  Nice sleep.  Cinder lay on me often.  Kisse was nearby where she can see me.

    Today I met my thursday lunch group.  We went to the newest place on Main Street called The Sale BARn.  There was no parking place any where on Main!!!  I finally got a place across the street where I could see the door easily.  We got a table right away.  All 4 of us were there.  Fun to see them & we had good conversation.  I tried to talk much less.  I never let anyone else have a chance to talk.  Probably since I an alone so often.  Hope I was better.  I am trying.

    I got the Hangover Burger.  Hamburger, cheese, pickle, & egg.  I did not get the tomato & lettuce.  It was perfect.  Will return for sure.  Next time no side orders.  Just too much food. Bothered my tummy a little.  They do have alcohol.  Did not check to see if they had a rum & coke.  Sure they might.

    Someone tried to charge something to my one credit credit so I needed a new one.  That was my second stop.  Very nice young man helped me.  When my card was ready he walked me to the front door & held it open.  

    Inside the bank is some awesome created furniture made by a local artist.  Cannot sit on it.  I am related to his mother.

    When I got home it was nap time. And had a good nap.  Then I felt better.

    Great weather last night & today.  Had rain overnight.  I got 0.93".  Very nice.  Today stayed cloudy & 73F all day.  Perfect.  Tomorrow will suck again.  Up to almost 100F.  And all next week.  I dread it. Hate heat & summers.  Will stay inside all I can.

    Talked with KN today.  Thanked him for mowing my yard & drive way.  We have a mutual friend who has lost half of his leg.  He is diabetic.  He got his first version of his new leg yesterday.  Hoping he does well with it.

    Photos are a mix.

    

Yummy Swedish candy.  Love it!!

003/2025 Måndag the 10th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day:  Ada, Edla

Had a ladies in town with the both these names.

    What a day!!  Great & special. day I have had!!!💖

    Saw a cow that had just given birththis noon.  Very cool!!  Later on the way to the mail box she was still in the area plus the llamas.  I called to them & they stared at me!!

    I stopped at the mailbox on my way to town.  And what a surprise!!  Willie's best friend was on his motorcyle driving by my house.  And he stopped.  In case I needed help for some reason.  He & Willie truly were best friends.  This friend, DD, never turned his back on Willie like another not so good friend did.  Sad.  We had a great visit.  He made my day.  Very few of Willie's & my old friends have anything to do with me.  I know that I will never ever be invited to anything DD will be at.  I have made peace with being left out.  But I could tell he still in some ways still cares about me.  Sad to think people we partied with, traveled with, never came to see Willie while he was dying, never checked to see if I was ok or needed anything.  Plus several could not be caring at the funeral or meal after.  Again, I have made peace with them.  They are no surprise.  My friends now are true friends.  Not back stabbers.

    JR & I had Mexican for supper & what a surprise!!  There was someone JS was a great friend with & always asks me if I have seen him.  I rarely do but tonight there he was eating in Jalisco's with his wife & grandkids.  We had a great visit.  Before he left I took their photo while he waved to send to JS.  And he saw it right away!!!

    When we were done eating Mexican food & ice cream (nieve) & ready to go home, MA came to our table & said our meals had been paid for.  There is man I do not know but I know he once in a while picks 2-3 booths of people to pay for their meals.  Our meals were free!!  How special.  Apparently he was sitting behind us.  A special & kind man no doubt.

    Then we bought some groceries.  I was close to being out of a couple of things.

    Got home & had a welcome gang to greet me!!! 😁

Names are Larry & Coco.  Love them.

    Got inside in time for Ringo Starr at the Grand Ole Opry.  What an awesome show!!!  Enjoying every minute!!!  I had set it to tape & it did not.  Grrr.  But I could rewind & watch from the start.  Whew.  When he sang "Photograph" made me think of José leaving here.  I almost cried.

    The temp was far too hot for me.  Saw 85F.  Too early.  But I managed to keep the house cool.  I am grateful   It did not get up to 80 in the house.  🔥
    Now to catch up my blog & spanish.  I had a phrase I was all prepared to say tonight but seeing RP Threw me off!!!  Dolor de espalda.  Back pain Pronounced "doe lor despalda".  Wednesday for sure.

    I am better today.  Slept good after my anxiety pill.  Lots of pain meds.  Just achy except for my left knee.  It hurts when walking.

    I am blessed to have had such a special day.  Feeling good in my heart.  DD is a special guy.  Wish I could see him more often.  But maybe he will drive by more often,  Found out he lives close now.
