Gift from a friend.  Made my day!

Todays Name Day is Tage

    Mostly a quiet day with little sleep.  Thanks to Nico & Cinder.  I managed to sleep in the morning & a short nap.

    I am worried about Nico.  He acts like he is getting senile.  Sometimes he cannot jump on the sofa or bed.  And once last nite he just had to go out.  We there & he just stands & looks blank.  Does nothing.  Odd.

    Today was JR's birthday.  We were going to Pizza Hut but I said something about Hong Kong Buffet & he said we could go there.  I was surprised!  I had not been there since before the Pandemic.  A long time ago.  He has never been there.  It was as good as ever!  Loved it.  I could have eaten twice as much but with my touchy stomach I did not dare.  But I had egg drop soup, sesame chicken, & my fave dessert.  Perfect.  And JR said we can go back anytime.  He loved it.  Great!!

    After we ate JR carried out 4 large bags of trash for me.  I still have two more to do but that will be tomorrow.  Nice to have some help. 

    TV sucks tonight.  I am watching some NatGeo things on demand about Egypt.  Not paying a lot of attention, but there were some cool photos I took from it.

    Photos today are from my FB Memories.  Mostly sunflowers.

                        

     

21 December, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I actually slept good last night with no pain.  And Nico was calmer too.  What a good night. 

    What a list of weather today.  There was snow on my car plus frozen drizzle on my car window.  When I went to work it misted off & on.  There was lots of hoar frost but not in my yard.  I got no photos.  It stayed with heavy clouds all day.  But our temp reached 33F.  Maybe snow in a couple of hours.  No wind yet but it will get here.

    I got fuel before the weather got any worse.  Best to be prepared.  And the price was nice.  I chatted with a lady next to me.  We wished each other Merry Christmas.  No clue who she was but really nice.  Wish I had friend like her.

    Work was the most fun.  One of my coworkers is going to create a book on the Old Mill.  So I spent the day scanning photos for him.  Awesome photos.  And some very old.  There were photos of the 1903 flood with water up to the Old Mill.  And men in a boat in the front of the mill.  Photos of the dam that was by the Mill.  Does not exist today. 

    One old photo was of 2 men working on filling small bags of wheat or flour.  On the wall was a calendar with a nude lady.  For shame!!!  Haha!  I finally got a macro shot of it so I could read where it was from.  From the Hudson Motor Exchange in January 1948 or 1949.  It was fun to try to see it.  Took several macro shots & several camera apps!!

    JR & I ate supper at Jalisco's.  JS had my Christmas gift.  The only one I get.  It had chocolate in it, billfold, & a purse.  They are both lovely.  Tomorrow I switch purses!!  My present billfold is too small.  He has really good taste.  I am missing a gift for both my brother & JS.  I keep hoping they show up.  They will have Christmas next week.

    At Jalisco's we all wished each other Feliz Navidad!  I do not have Happy New Year down yet!  The cook came out to see me.  If he had not I was headed to the kitchen before I left.  They & the fuel lady made day.

    Cinder disappeared last night.  Not here all day.  When I came home from work to take Nico out I saw the black cat on the porch.  I then knew Cinder was near.  I fed him since he had to walk back home.  Came home from supper & she was here.  Wish she would come in.  Hope she will later.

    This mid-afternoon was the Winter Solstice.  I do not want longer days or shorter nights.  I want my winter with snow that we never get anymore.  I always dread summer with the hot, sticky weather that makes me feel ill.

    Christmas photos again tonight.  I am in the last photo.  The Julbock is in Gälve Sweden.
