Today's Name Day:  Inge,  Yngve

    Had a great day today.  A little trouble getting to sleep but an anxiety pill fixed that.  Plus & no drowsiness today.  The day started cloudy but sun by work time.

    Worked at the Old Mill today.  I finally finished a a group of photos that were sort of boring.  But I ended knowing one lady who was in several photos.  Then I had photos of grades with no kids names just the teacher.  Her name started as Miss Hughes but then changed to Mrs. Gustafson.  Sweet lady.

    LL has had a cold as have several others I know.  She is better.  Super sick cousin in Kentucky is out of the hospital & now in a special hospital to help her recover,  Then nursing home after that,  Her mind is shot so. should be no problem.  JS has been really sick with a  sinus infection ---- maybe.  Not sure.  Super bad headache, congestion, hard to talk, etc.  He called tonight & is better.  Talked all the way to my home.  Will talk again on thursday or friday.

    JR & I had supper at Jalisco's.  As we parked MM came out the door with his son Atlas.  When Atlas saw me jumped for joy & came running to me.  And wanted a big hug.  What a sweetie.  We are lunching tomorrow!!!  I have missed them.

    Olympic time for me. Just saw an American break a record for gold. Exciting.  Couple doing a Scotish music & dancing.  Awesome!!

    Photos are a mix..

                                            

               

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 341....

 Nice weather day. Warm day at 50. Chilly night at 19. But now we are in a winter storm watch tonight. Ice coming. Be fun driving to town.

Cows walking by the fence by our yard. Keeps Nico on his toes! He lets them know just who is in charge!

Slept better but up early. Threw on some clothes. Off to town. Got groceries I ordered. And picked up my insulin. They are across the street from each other. Quick trip. Never got out of my car so doesn't matter how I dress. (-;

As usual no texts or calls. I never even hope. People talk about having their bubble, friends or family, they are always with. My babble is just me and my brother.

One of my FB friends visited Willie's grave today. What a super nice gesture. Made my day. I don't think our kids have been there ever. Such caring hearts they have. After I die I am sure they will dance on my grave.

On Instagram there is someone who posts old abandonded buildings. There was a house I immediately recognized this evening. Owners were friends of my in-laws. I was in that house many times. And they had a story about a lady and her hired man who disappeared. The lady is my husband's family. I asked if they had more information. I hope so.

Always be kind to one another.

Photos today are some old ones. Kitty is a new photo. The old one of three kids is my husband's cousin, he is in the middle, and the third boy is his brother. Cool photo. The bee one I added text to. I need to take new photos.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 247....

  Nice weather day. But tomorrow the howling winds return. Love it!! 

Got up early and made it to town for a burger before my therapy. What a joy to walk!! And not look awful. Jalisco's was kind of quiet so MA and I had time to chat a bit. Always nice. And I was lucky enough to get a sweet hug from JG.

Had therapy after lunch. It was good. Told her I had an epiphany about my RA. Then we talked about my kids Always a joyous conversation. It will never be good as long as they cannot be adults. But we talked and laughed and there were no tears.

JS called this evening. Nice to hear from him. Been a long time. We caught up a bit. I enjoyed the call.

I was just out with Nico. Near our yard there was a deer. It never went far. It watched us and heard me talk. So cool. I love having them around.

Texted tonight with a friend. Sweet friend. He said some things that made me think. And to dare to think of what I might want. But Will never have. No need to want, even if I have never had it. I have learned I rarely get what I want.

I worry about the holidays and friends and family. I am grateful there is no family that want to see me over they holidays. Better to be alone. Kansas is now in the Top 10 most dangerous states to visit. Our governor tried to have a mandate to protect us but the politicians in Topeka shot her down. Too many in the country do not care about others. 

Photos are mostly recent ones. Photo of a new book and a page from it that came today. A note from my UPS person. Thought I knew who it was but I was wrong. And 2 older photos --- a castle that was in my family a few generations ago and a building in another small town.
