National Good Samaritan Day
Today's Name Day: Greger
Had an ok day. Slept good. My cough is better but now I have that frustrating tickle that makes me cough. I hate that. And embarrassing when out in public. But not as bad as it could be.
I had been to Dillon's one day & there was a family --- Mom & 2 little kids --- sitting in the grass by the traffic light. The father was asking for money for rent & food. I gave him what I could, He was polite & dressed in the clothes of wherever he was from. Could they have been scammers? Of course. But I decided that was between them & their belief system. I did not judge. My belief system leads me to do believe in doing good things & help others. Once in Wichita a clean, well dressed man came up to me to ask for gas money so he could get home or to a bank, etc. He was had no money. I gave him money. Same dynamics. I felt good. How he felt is not my problem. Better to err on the side of helping someone.
Stormy weather in my area now. My weather radio sent out an alarm but nothing is truly here & what is near is moving away from me to the north. For now. More could build back up & cause some trouble. I hope not. Cinder is out for now but will get her in if things change.
The ice cream JR picked up for me is far too good. I need to leave it in the freezer. Have no control at all!!! Best near to homemade taste I have found. Supper was hot dogs. Pretty good.
Took a short nap. I swear I could have slept all evening too!!
Not as many texts today. People are busy. I have finally learned where some family are living. Asked in the past but never got an answer. Nice to have a clue now.
I bought a large metal cat sign years ago. After Nico died I put it on his grave. Going to write a note to him on it from Cinder & Kisse. May be stupid but if it makes me feel better I will do it. Miss him sooo much. Cinder took a nap with me. She always does if she is inside. Either sleeps on the sofa armrest or on top of me.
I have often wrote that I tend to feel left out &/or alone. It was so nice that someone decided to tell me that it is all my fault & no one elses. That made my day. 😓. So be it. If just being me causes people to exclude me even when I have not tried to force mysef on anyone then so be it. Or to ask them a simple question & get no answer, then such is life. Always my fault.
My most recent ancestors are mostly Scadinavian but going back further I have British, Scottish & Irish. I know names of many British ancestors & where some are from but I just know next to nothing about England itself. City names mostly mean nothing to me although some do. But my photos today are from an awesome page called the Queen's English. Last night I discovered some discovered some ancestors from Nova Scotia. I have known for a long time I have grandparents from Canada part of my dad's family. They moved there, not born there.
