10/2026 - Saturday the 10th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Harriet , Harry
I was in a school with a Harry.  He was a couple of years older.  When I worked at the hospital our chaplain was Harry.  The best!!  When I went to church with Mom & Dad with we sat with a sweet lady named Harriet.  Mom had a friend named Harriet.  Both are nice names of nice people.


    Today was ok.  No energy.  Email from JL.  Spent today just resting.  Boring blog today.
    Warmer today with high winds.  Still blowing at around 25mph.  Our low was 63F. Our high was 90F.  Rain starts around tuesday then cooler.  No complaints from me.
    Got a photo from AN.  She is delivering fuel to the field.  KN is planting crops.  I was never good enough to do that.  I only did food & helping moving equipment from one field to another.  I hauled the crew.  I miss those days.  And the people who worked for us.
    Hard for me to have no human contact but my cats sure try.  Daisy follows me everywhere.  She tried to go outside yesterday.  I managed to grab her & then I almost fell.  I am scared she would go & not come back.  Too many scary animals outside.
    Watching the end of a foot ball game.  Do not like it.  The players are all tough acting & almost violent.  I prefer soccer where the players are pleasant & seem happy at plays.  No violence.  Although I have seen some get upset.  I did see the end of a soccer match before my nap.
    Friends in Sweden took a trip.  Loved their photos.  Cool trip.  Glad for them but sad for me.  I cannot go anywhere.  No one to travel with & no one to help me travel.  Getting older & alone is no fun.  I am jealous of friends who have kids & grandkids & friends.  Had a long conversation with a friend who recently lost a family member but he has so many others.  I am not so lucky.
    Finally.  Foot ball is over.  And one of my shows is back on.  Life is good.
    Need to eat supper.  Nothing sounds good.  Maybe peanut butter & jelly sandwich.  Then Spanish lesson.

Back from my days feeding birds.  I enjoyed those days.

We used to have lots of turkeys around our yard.  They loved the wheat in our yard after harvest.  Miss them.






















Daisy is watching a soccer match.  She really was focused on it for a while.

Nico & all his babies.

10/2025 - Viernes the 10th - MY JOURNEY

 



This is a day late.  But wanted to share.





Today's Name Day:  Harriet, Harry
Had a sweet lady named Harriet who we sat in church with.  Mom had worked with her in the late 1930s at the local bakery.

Willie's brother was Harry.  I went to school with a Harry.  And of course there is Prince Harry.

    Much much better day!!!!  Hard to believe!!!!  😀  I slept good all night.
    I was so scared to eat to day.  So I  chose a tiny meal of 2 thin slices of ham & some bread.  No more.  And I was shocked when I never felt sick.  Wow!!!
    I took a nice nap but shorter than I had been resting.  Supper was a small serving of Mac & cheese.  It was sooo good.  Then my BS got low so I had a few malt balls.  So far so good.
    Yesterday after my nap I went to the bathroom.  Walking back in the hallway I saw this on my bed.
They never curl up together.  Glad I got a photo. They both have been sleeping on my bed while I have been sick.  Even if I get up Cinder stays on the bed & lays close next to me.  She knows.
    Several texts from MM & CW checking on me.  Plus LL checked a couple of times also.  CF has not asked how I am.  Someone else I had to text first.  Shows me who cares.
    My co worker was interviewed by a local TV channel 12 & he talked about our Swedish Pavilion at the Old Mill.  It was a wonderful interview.  Glad I saw it.  Wrote to him right away.  We had a nice visit then.  Missing him.  He is a blessing to have at the Old Mill.
    Staying home tomorrow.  Supposed to eat out but don't dare to eat out yet.  I am still quite weak & dizzy.  Getting better though.
    Weather was too warm.  And warmer tomorrow.  Too warm for autumn.  Then cooler sunday afternoon & rain.  But the weather man gets all giddy when he can report warmer mid next week.  Back in the 80s again.  Ick.  I belong to a group who dislike summer & they all say their weather men are they same.  So joyful for hot, dry, & buggy.  What is wrong with them.  But then more cooler weather comes again.  Hopefully.
    Photos are seasonal ones.
