National Propane Day

This day is special to me.  I heat my house with propane.  A big truck delivers it to me.  They keep track so I do not run out.  Not cheap.  We have a tank in our back yard.


Today's Name Day: Birgitta, Britta


    Had a pretty nice day.  Slept so-so.  Got pretty cold last night ----- 40s.  House was freezing when I got up.  Turned the heat on.  AC on in the afternoon.  Heat comes back on soon.  Today was around 80.  Felt nice outside.

    Met a friend for a late afternoon tea.  Not seen each other for far too long.  He is from another Kansas Swedish town.  Lots in common.  He is doing some research on Swedish missionaries.  I learned a lot.  Found it interesting.  Learned lots I never knew about some local churches.  We promise to do this more often.

    We met at the White Peacock.  One of my favorite places.  Cool decorating.  Nice atmosphere.  Good food & drinks.  Today I had Peach Green Tea iced.  Yummy.  Had a little left over so I brought it home & added ice & a little water.  Perfect.

    The White Peacock used to be a den of torture.  When I was a child it was a dentist office.  He was an awful person.  And really awful to kids.  He threatened to get my dad one time.  Dad worked across the street.  Dad would be worse than the dentist.  😱

    I finally remembered to go to the bank to get some cash.  I was going to on sunday but ALL parking spots were taken could not get to the ATM.  No problem today.

    60 minutes had a special tonight on monday instead of sunday.  Supposed to be about those running for our president.  Two refused to attend.  Big idiot babies!!  Too scared.

    Cinder seems more relaxed today.  And the last two nites she has slept part time in one of her hiding places.  I was scared she was going to ask to go out.  I would be in such a panic.  It is safer.

    Photos are Unsplash pix. about Halloween.  About 3 are edited for fun.

National Live Creative Day

.......encourages us to let the world see our creativity all day long!


Today's Name Day: Ida, Ronja


    Had a pretty good day.  I hope they keep happening!!!  Slept pretty good.  Relaxed. 

    Lunch was good.  Just grateful to have better food than I did have.  Cinder is getting all my old ham.  Will never buy it again.

    Once I was done eating, Cinder had been outside but then came in for her nap.  I shampooed my hair.  Loooong overdo.  Now I look human again!!

    Picked up JR at 5pm for supper.  I had 3 different places I wanted to eat at.  Picked Mexican as usual!!!  I tried to get Cinder to go back out but she just stared at me.  Silly cat.  She will be sorry!!

    After supper we went to get groceries.  Somehow I forgot things like butter.  Ruined my plans for cinnamon toast yesterday.  So all is well now.  For both of us,  Then ice cream bars from Dollar General.

    Got home & unlocked the front door & this streak of something blurred dashed out the door.  I assume it was Cinder!!!  Time to round her up again soon.

    Nice weather today.  Rain is still in the forecast for the coming week.  Time will tell.  And cooler temps.  

    Long texting with KW.  She is so sweet.

    Photos are some I took today & some are from my memories.
