Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

    What a great day!  Wish I had more of them!

    Started with Cinder sleeping next to me all night.  I am loving her near.  She is sweet!

    Then I met LL for lunch at the White Peacock.  It has been a while with the heat!  And my being sick.  We both had Swedish pancakes.  Awesome!  They used to have peach tea but no more.  But the waitress said she could make a peach green tea!  It is awesome.  I am stopping there often for that.

    Home for a short nap.  Nico joined me.

    Then supper with the artist at the Red Barn, RG.  I enjoy his friendship.  Wish we lived closer.  Had a great visit.   Pizza Hut was raising money for they Hyllningfest committee.  I had great visits with a couple of the committee.  Fun people I wish I was real friends with.  A great supper.

    No Jalisco's yet.  Maybe tomorrow.   I hope so as we eat there on wednesdays.

    Photos are from today.

    I think my household totally enjoyed a cool night!  Cinder came in around 1am & never again left our bedroom.  She would lay in her chair & then walk over to lay by me to cuddle.  That went on all night!  Back & forth!  And I managed to sleep.  Nice to be so loved.  Nico was good & Kisse was probably under the bed.

    Not much the rest of the day.  Communication was rare with me today.  Great weather.  Cool & pleasant.  No chance of rain anytime soon.  Drought is getting worse day by day.  And heat returns on friday.  Temp jumps to 100 through monday or tuesday.  Dang.

    JR & I ate at Burger Theory in the Holiday Inn.  Good burgers.  And you build your own so you get exactly what you want.  Bread, slices of meat, toppings, sauce, etc.  I ate maybe half of what I ordered.  Very good.

    Photos today are from this afternoon.

     I got no sleep last night but for a great reason.  Cinder.  She finally came in the house.  And she never left my side.  She either laid on me or next to me.  Around 5am she went to her chair.  And then I could not get to sleep.  I loved having her in & all snuggly!

    Super hot today.  Driving to Lindsborg my car showed 108 the entire way.  I saw at least 106 at home before I left.

    JR & I ate supper at the Crown & Rye.  Jalisco's is still closed.  Sad.  We had Swedish pancakes tonight.  I found out 2 is enough, 3 too many.  Live & learn.

    Rain is maybe coming.  Radar shows a large area that is primed to divide when it gets to my farm.  As usual.  How great a long heavy rain would be.

    Photos are all mine from today.  I want to look for odd things to photo.  Need to try harder.  One photo shows how dry & dusty it is.

 Independence Day of Ukraine

    I slept good & had a good day until tonight.  Nico is on a roll.  He has had cookies & a treat.  But he has it in his mind to get into things not his.  One certain place.  Nothing I say or do is making a difference.  Dang.  I had such a nice evening so this is my punishment.  And I am having some serious anxiety.

    Cinder refuses to come in the house.  Why?  I wonder if someone was mean to her & she is scared.  I brought her food outside & she refused it.  Maybe the heat is affecting her, like the rest of us.  And maybe she has a large dead animal she is hiding!!  UGH!!

    Tonight I had a dinner date with an artist friend.  We planned on Jalisco's but they have a kitchen problem & are closed.  Ate at the Crown & Rye.  I had fries & part of a cookie.  And we had a great visit.  Wish he lived closer.  I should plan a weekend trip sometime.

    Hot again.  Saw 107 near here.  One More Day then cooler.  I dearly hope.  Storm Harold might be here tomorrow with some rain.  Will see.

    Covid is getting worse again.  I am considering wearing a mask again.  Get a booster next month.

    Saw 2 deer cross my drive way after a water break in my pond.  Cool.

    CF is celebrating his girlfriend's birthday.  And helped my genealogy!!  MM sent me sweet photos of one of his sons.

    Photos are ones I took this afternoon.

Find Your Inner Nerd Day

It's Find Your Inner Nerd Day - so break out your nerdiest clothes, geekiest gadgets, and nerdiest jokes to celebrate in style!

    Hot again.  So tired of it.  They better not be lying to us about the cooler temps.  And maybe some rain.  I ignore that.  We miss it too often.

    Quiet day.  I slept ok but coughed all morning.  A little less in the afternoon but then I napped.  Eating is difficult.  Stimulates my coughing.  Lunch was awful.  Supper a little better.

    Had a good morning photo from MM & his youngest son.  CF's girlfriend texted me a lot this afternoon.  Nice.  Cannot wait to meet her.

    Today is one of my Denver aunts birthday.  Would have been 100.  Also the day my grandmother died.  Imagine having your mom die on your birthday.  So sad.  Miss my grandmother a lot.

    Meeting an artist friend for supper tomorrow evening.  Trying to decided if I should just not eat anything.  Or trying to decide what would be the best. Maybe a dessert.

    Photos are from Provence.  Beautiful.

I declare today JAMMIE DAY!

    Nothing to write.  Nothing anyone would want to read.  Cancelled the entire day & stayed in my jammies.  Wish I did not have to celebrate alone.

    Quiet day.  No nieto messages.  Texts from JR.  I texted a lot, but he did answer.  Heard from my friend & boss, LL  She & I are ready for autumn --- NOW.

    Miserable day again.  Yesterday we got to 108 & broke a record set in 2003.  Today I saw 206 that did not break a record.  But it was close.  Very little breeze.  No change until saturday.  Then drops in the 90s-80s.  More normal.

    Slept pretty good.

    Photos are just some I have saved.  Nothing special.
