National Hot Chocolate Day

Today's Name Day:  Ivar, Joar

    Today was a wonderful day.  I slept excellent all night. With Cinder's help.  And Kisse was near too.  I was up early to get ready for my day.

    When I departed this morning, Kisse had eaten breakfast.  Cinder was curled up in her new fave nest.  She missed her chance to go outside.  Once I had cleaned the litter box I was out the door.  And gone all day!

    Met LL at the Old Mill.  When she got out of a meeting we took off for lunch.  We went to 5 Loaves in McPherson.  It is in a bowling alley.  Great & tasty food.  Good help.  I had small pieces of steak in a bun with au jus.  I love it.  I had french fries too but only ate a few.

    With out meal done, we drove to Hutchinson where she had papers to pick up.  Then back to McPherson to the library where she delivered papers.  And after the post office in Lindsborg we went to work at the Mill.  A nice day so far of lots of chatting & sight seeing.

    Work was good.  Almost done with the book of photos I am working on.  Photos are a bit boring & mostly unidentified activities & people.

    After work JR & I had supper at Jalisco's.  Slow there tonight.  With our nice weather they should have been busy.  Hard to read people sometimes.

    Dessert was ice cream.  They have been closing early due to the cold weather.  Well, today reached 70F so they stayed open late.  Had my fave ice cream.  Nice end to a great day!!

    After being gone all day & part of the evening, I wondered what the cats had been up to.  Apparently not much.  Their food was barely touched.  Litter box was not used much.  They both must have slept all day.

    Tonight Cinder is starved for attention.  Got my Spanish done before she was out here but writing my blog is a challenge.  Cinder has been over to her food I bet 5 times.  Kisse does not like hard food so she has had her food with gravy.  Cinder is finally sitting on the sofa arm rest.

    Photos are local winter photos.  Many are ones I took.  The black & white dog was Willie's last dog, Jo.  She was the sweetest dog.  We had her & Nico at the same time.

                            

12/2023 Fredag the 22th -- Wandering & Capturing Moments

Honor the legacy of our Forefathers on Forefathers' Day - a time to reflect on their sacrifices and contributions to our country.

Today's Name Day is Natalie 

    Had a great day!!!   All day!!!   This morning it was extremely foggy.   It was like pea soup outside.  Very hard to drive.   I could only go around 40 mph.   Supposed to be the same tomorrow.

    My friend LL & I went to Galva KS for lunch.   A home cooking type place.   I had a hot beef sandwich.   Excellent.

    Then we went back to McPherson to a small cafe that also make casseroles they freeze & sell.   I bought 2 different ones.  LL has bought there a couple of times & said they are  good.

    Back home I tried to nap but could not relax.   Excited about the evening.   Have a birthday party to attend.

    Took off for Lindsborg around 430.   The road closed sign was laying down.   I dared not believe it so went to town on the highway.   But after the party I came on the formerly closed road.   And it is open!!!   Great!!!

    Party at MA's house.  It is his birthday today.  It is also his brother's birthday also.  He said they are twins, but 10 years apart!!   Hahaha!!!   Big party.   I got to meet 2 of his brothers & one of his sisters.   His brother from Nebraska was there & one from Concordia.   He & is lady are pregnant so good to see them.   And his daughter in college.  Also his parents.   I love them!   Very nice!!

    Lots of great visiting.   Lots to catch up on.   Plus 2 puppies to play with.   Great food.   Rice, beans, hot dogs, beef, sauce, pasta, drinks.

    Before I went home the birthday boys lined up with the cake & cup cakes.   MA gave me 2 cup cakes & a piece of cake to take home.   We all sang.  Both in English & Spanish.  The Mexican tradition on one's birthday is to push their face in their cake.   I could not reach MA.   Dang.   They all took a tiny amount of frosting & tapped their own noses.   BUT.   MA's high school son reached around me & the fridge with a handful of frosting & got is Dad good!!!   I got photos!!   His mom got a video.   How fun!!!
