Today's Name Day:  Raoul, Rolf

    Had a good day.  Slept fair.  Less low blood sugar.  Lowered my insulin one unit today.  See if that helps.

    Started raining this morning.  I had an umbrella in the car.  Never got closed so when I tried to grab on to it it got stuck.  I had to walk around the car to get it but then the door would not unlock.  As I turned to walk back around my foot go caught on a branch &  almost fell.  Scared me really bad.  If the umbrella had been put away the right way it would not have happened.  Damn.

    I was late getting to work.  And stressed.

    RA ruled today.  Had a new pain never had before.  😱. Walking was a challenge.

    Made great strides on my photos.  I sent two photos to people they were taken of.  Heard from one of them.  Fun.  It used to be a "thing" that when you traveled you took a copy of the local newspaper & then took a photo of you reading it on vacation.  That is what all these photos are of.  People, places, newspapers.  It is not done anymore.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  I had shrimp again.  Very good but too many fries.  Dessert was ice cream.  I will hate when they close for winter again.  But now the drive through is open maybe they could stay open some.  Hamburgers are good & so is the ice cream.

    Jalisco's is now ready to open tomorrow.  Tables & chairs were moved in today.  I won't make it there until friday.  I am anxious!!

    Photos are flowers, winter, etc.

A piece of art I created.

A piece of beauty I have on my desk at work.

Today's Name Day:  Estelle, Stella

Friends with a Stella now.  Cool lady!!

    Had a good day.  Slept so-so.  But did not feel too tired.

    Had lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Quiet in there today.  Good to see her & chat.   And at work too.  And fun to see my artist friend MH.

    Made great steps forward with my photos.  Today I did many baby photos.  Did not like them.  Some were ok,  Some had names.  Some did not.  Several were sweet & cute!!  Almost done with these.  Good.

    I took myself out for supper.  Nice to sit & relax. Didn't have to try to visit or anything.  I was just relaxed.

    MA & his wife did sit with me to visit about something.  I did enjoy their company.  MA does chat with me often, but tonight it was something special.

    The weather today was the absolute worst.  Not the hottest but the humidity was a killer.  Hard to breathe outside or walk.  I hate summer with every fibre of my body!

    I just called JS.  Great to see him & visit.  Wish we could see each other.  I do not want them to travel but wish I could.  Ha.ve no one to help me travel.  Those fun days are over for me.  I hate seeing photos of all these people here who have a spouse or friends & they do fun things and/or travel.  Not me.  Thank god for video calls.

    I had no idea I would live long enough that there would so few who care to help me in any way.  I have given up asking for anything.  I know who helps if I ask.  And those who make sure they never offer.  One friend offered to do something & we are not related.  A total surprise.  Don't get me started on family. 

    Day of rest tomorrow.  Will enjoy.  Photos are a couple of cigars & whiskey, flowers, & autumn.  There was a photo I saw somewhere with a cigar & whiskey.  I liked it so found some to post.

Today's Name Day:  Alfons, Inez

Known several ladies named Inez

    Had a good day.  Part of it was the best ever!!

    My oldest 2 great grandsons came home last night.  MM can't quit hugging them.  And all 3 are smiling.

    I stopped at MM's this noon.  They all came to greet me.  And inside Gracie my grandpuppy came running also.  I sure needed to see them all.  Lots of hugs.  Here is Junior, Atlas, & Grandma.

    After my visit it was work at the Old Mill.  But it was a lonely day.  Lots of visitors so AP was upstairs most of the time.  We are 2 short in our staff.  I am no help at all. I only do my photos & nothing else.  But I did turn on some political programs & listen without bothering anyone.  I even did some exercises.  I was hoping that AP did not return to his desk to see my arms flailing about & think I was having a seizure!!!  💃

    I started a new batch of photos..  Several folders all hooked to each other.  I am doing each one separately with unique names.  Most photos are borderline boring.

    Supper was Mexican.  They were not too busy.  I had flautas.  Very good.  Dessert was the Barnyard Creamery.  I got a small soft serve with caramel sauce.  Perfect.

    I had changed what purse I used but lordy it was far too heavy.  Probably since it was leather.  Came home & changed to a lighter purse.  Feels much better.

    My one purse that is burlap is laying on my sofa.  Kisse has commandered it as her new nest.  Plus it is next to me.

    Photos are a mix.

Very old photo of Old Main & an old car on the Bethany College campus.  Plus all the trees that used to be on the campus.
