My Llamas, Coco & Larry

Today's Name Day:  Joakim,  Kim

Known many Kim's.  CF's stepmom,  kids I went to school with, & others.

    Today was a bit more normal.  No jammies today.  But super tired & a touchy tummy.

    Too hot today.  I saw the temp hit 93F.  Think that was the hottest.  Winds are mild but there have been two fires in Kansas.  One was a controlleld fire that got away from those in charge.  And a second also.  Both are under control now.  Better today than tomorrow.  High wind tomorrow.  Hate that.  

    I had kind of planned to carry trash out today.  Too hot.  Let my one bin lay over until monday.  Set it upright & it would not stay.  No bueno.

    I managed a nap this afternoon but woke up an hour or so before my alarm.  Cinder has stayed close.  Kisse is hiding out somewhere.

    I ordered the cats some treats.  I gave one to Cinder.  She debated for a while then ate it.  Will put some out with their food.  Maybe try some in the bedroom tonight.  See if they like it.

    Have the national news on.  The world is going to hell.  An idiot attacking one country.  That country attacking several other countries.  Drones attacking a base here. Hawaii may be flooded if a dam breaks on Oahu.  I hate that.  Beautiful area.  And the death of an actor.  Not one I ever liked.  Sorry for him & his family.  And the huge dome of heat that has moved into the west US, moving my way, & then to the eastern US.  We are so blessed.  Not.  Our weatherman showed the drought area in Kansas.  Moving my way & not a chance of any moisture in the rest of March.  The weatherman dared to say there is a scant chance of a shower a week from now. Ha.  What is he drinking????

    Can no news ever report good news?   Or does none exist here.  So sad.  

    I heard from MM.  Some news that involved me.  It will resolve itself.  Long email from JL.  She is having temps in the 90s.  Text from cousin ND.

    I found a family photo album online.  Not looked like it for a long time.  Photos there from the late 1800s to maybe 20 years ago.  Even putting those photos together I saw I already felt not part of my family.  Except my aunts, uncle, & cousins in Denver.  It was awesome to see photos of people I loved.  Even my kids who loved me as kids.  All my mom's family.  Fun family times back then.  Miss those.

    The Barnyard Creamery is open again!!! I can get my soft serve ice cream!!!  Tomorrow for supper there.  Can sit in the car with the AC on!!  Should have went today but too tired.

    A friend of MM went to get fuel for his car & did a short video.  Fuel price is now way over $3.  Yikes!!!

    Photos are some cool drawings.

Love this one.

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.
