09/2025 - Martes the 08th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Alma, Hulda


    Today was a day of rest.   I slept ok until around 4am.  I had been watching the radar & a small area of rain appeared.  Not doing much so I went to sleep.  Then around 7am a loud crack of thunder woke me up!  Radar showed a big storm of heavy rain.  It proceeded to thunder loudly all day until around 630pm.   I got lots of rain.  Got 3.82".  What a miracle.  There were places near me that got around 9-10".  With flooding.  I mostly stayed inside today.  At supper time I looked out at my driveway.  It was still under water.  I maybe could drive through if I needed but not safe to try that.
    MM & I planned to eat out this noon.  But I cancelled due to my driveway.  Will try again tomorrow.  I changed my day to a Jammie Day!!!  Resting good.
    I still have aches & pains from my accident.  Both arms ache.  Nothing real bad but new pains.  Both knees hurt.  Left knee is better.  Plus I feel terror when walking around.  A little better at times.
    Emailed with JL & texted with MM.  One short photo from CF.
    House got so cold last night.  I finally turned the heat on & added another blanket.  Then we all felt better.
    Photos are a mix.  I tend to post what I like.

08/2025 - Domingo the 10pth - JOURNEY

 


Was an old time blacksmith shop with a British phone booth.  Now it is a coffee shop.



Today's Name Day:  Lars
Had a good friend Lars who stayed in Lindsborg for a couple of months.  He is an awesome artist from Sweden.  I really enjoyed his company.  Soooo.  I decided to visit him in Sweden.  It ended our friendship.  He just did not want to have company to spend time with.  Sad.  Wish I had never gone to see him.  And to just remember the fun we had here in town.  I do hear from him every once in a while,


    Today was ok..  I worked at the SVAFC.  Guests were just steady.  My cousin GS & his wife came in.  Not really a close relative so we don't know each other to well.  He knew this month's artist & had some great stories.  I enjoyed his visit.  Then the former newspaper editor came in.  I know him by name & reputation.  He was fun to chat with.  He also knew the artist.  Made for an interesting afternoon.  
    I took the office chair & wheeled around the room.  Got lots of closeups of little things are parts of the art.  Just for my memories.
    I decided to cancel supper plans.  Having some arthritis problems & stomach problems.  Just came home.
    I have made a decision & need to not eat out so often.  I am trying to support 3 families.  I am starting to worry about money.  I doubt anyone else is worried but I am.  Have to decide which nights to eat out on.  There is no way to replace money after it is spent. I just deleted half of what I wrote.  No one cares how I feel.  Deal with my feelings on my own.
    Had a good day but my depression is raging tonight.  Hope it calms downs by tomorrow.  Wish I had someone to confide in.
    Weather was cooler.  Had a big storm warning last night.  I got basically nothing.  Somebody got rain & wind but not here.  Now today there has been a flood warning for here.  And a clear sky.  The weather on the tv shows rain several places but not just here.  Who knows?
    Cinder has taken over my cloth purse that is still on the sofa.  Sleeping in a weird way.  Kisse is hiding.  No idea where.  I wish I was napping but have to finish this then my spanish lesson.
    Really no communication today.  Minimal at best.
    Photos are a mix..



Coronado Heights castle
Normal purple henbit.  And rare white henbit.  Only grew here once.


Think this is a scissor tailed flycather.  Love them but they never come near my house.  And hard to get a photo of.  But sooo pretty.


This is a family photo of Willie, me, & one of our dogs.  Long before dementia arrived.  Our rocking bench made by a friend,  Willie bought it.  Always think of him when I sit outside.
Love this photo.  Old shed & new windmill.  And cattle.
Utah. Bryce Canyon.


Me on a boat at Canyonlands Utah & on the Colorado River.  Wish I could go back there.

07/2025 - Martes the 22th- JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Madeleine, Magdalena


    Had another quiet day.  I was awake often last night thanks to my glucose sensor & the weather.
    There few chances of rain for us here.  The weather apps all said rain would end by midnight.  Then they changed it to 1am & then 2am.  The last edit said 5am.  It was an amazing storm.  I swear the lightning was directly over my house!  It was constant.  With thunder.  I got almost 3 inches of rain.  There are still flood warnings for anyone living near the river.  It was hot today.  Over 90F.
    Since there was no chance of rain yesterday I dragged many boxes out by the trash bins.  Woke up this morning to see 3 boxes in my back yard.  Could have been worse.  Looked out my front door & there was one large box in front of my car.  Plus it was so nice to see my bench cleared off.  Blessing.
    Had an email & long text with MM.  He was with our friend CW.  I miss them both.  JR & I texted during the storm.
    Cancelled today again.  Tired.  A nice nap helped.  Planning my week.  Changes different than usual..
    The electricity flickered all night.  I turned off my ice machine.  Forgot to turn it back on this morning.  No ice today!!!  Should be working now.  Glad I never lost electrity.
    Photos today are cute drawings.
