Today's Name Day:  Uno

    An OK day.  I had two appointments for today.  Cancelled one for early afternoon.  No problem.

    Met RG for supper tonight.  Great conversation.  I love his company.  Be sad when he goes back home.

    MA told us that Jalisco's will be open on monday then closed for a week  to remodel.  He told us some details but will not write them here.  People want to know they can ask him.  Sounds exciting!!

    Had a couple of emails. And a text from MM.  He will write when he gets home.

    A little warmer today but a nice breeze.  Hot tomorrow.  Love living under the dome of heat.  😱. Cooler mid next week.  And then rain.  I am hoping. ☔

    Lunch tomorrow with LL & then work with her.  I have missed her.  Hated to miss work on wednesday. but I am learning to listen to my body.  Hard to do when having guilt feelings for letting people down.  Hard to be good.

    Photos are cute drawings.  Will look for flowers tomorrow.

National Farmer's Day

October 12 offers much-deserved praise to the hard-working farmers across the nation. In the midst of harvest-season, the day pays tribute to the men, women, and families who put food in the grocery stores and on our tables every day. 

I also would like to include all the hard working farm workers from this country & others.  They do not get enough credit for all they do. Or paid fairly.

Today's Name Day: Manfred, Valfrid

Manfred is a special name to me.  Had a great uncle named that.  He was a very unique man.

    Had a good day.  There is a FB site I read daily.  It has a daily message from angels.  They are all nice messages.  Today mine was to totally relax & recover.  And that is what I did.  The best was a healing nap with Cinder on my chest.  She does me so much good.  I got a photo of me with my cat I had when in junior high.  I cannot share it as it makes me cry from pain.  I dearly loved that cat.  And it was cruely taken away from me.  And there was no one person or family member that cared what I might be suffering inside.  Still today no one who cares how I  felt.  No wonder I have issues with trust & being loved.  Was I loved back then?  Probably not much.

    I offered Cinder to outside but she just looked at me.  No problem.  I like having her inside.  No worries then.

    Pretty warm today.  Almost made 90.  Hate summer weather.  Tomorrow a cold front hits.  Good deal.  Maybe rain late in next week.  We can hope.

    TV was really bad today.  No channel was interesting.  By accident I found a good channel tonight with Expidition Unknown.  I love these shows.  This is one I do not remember.  It is in Egypt in a pharaoh's grave inside a pyramid that is all flooded.  Cool.  So interesting.

    This afternoon I watched a Zoom presentation on a local historical man from my town.  Given by the Old Mill.  The presenter is a friend.  He gave this talk a couple of years ago but I missed it.  It was a great presentation.  I missed the first Zoom one they did a month ago but I can still look at it now.  I set my alarm so I would not forget today!

    Only got some texts from MM.  Everyone else must be too busy.  Typical day for me..

    Photos are a mix of autumn, winter, edited, Halloween.

                            

Playing with a photo of mine

Cool photo

Want snow

Swedish made car.  If I had an extra Million $$$ I would buy one.  Saw a show about this car.  It is beyond awesome.  I cannot explain all it can do.  Wow!!!

National Hug Your Cat Day

Today's Name Day: Solbritt, Solveig

    I had a nice quiet day.  I had an eye dr. appointment I rescheduled.  Just not in the mood.  And my hip was more painful.  Just wanted to rest.  See if I feel better tomorrow.

    We had some rain this afternoon.  I was napping & heard nothing.  Think Lindsborg got more rain than we did.  Of course.  And then while eating supper I saw the radar that showed a large area of rain north of my farm & another large area of rain south of my farm.  I am sitting here in a big open area.  Normal.  And sad.

    Getting hot tomorrow.  Almost 90F.  Usch.  Then a day of cooler air.  But then warmer & stormy weather

    Not much texting from anyone.  I guess that is ok.  People busy.

    I did find a newspaper photo in my FB memories from 1974!!  Wow!  It is of Willie who hauled in a load of cattle to the sale barn for a friend & neighbour of ours..  And a photo of them both.  Good memory.  The friend's wife is a FB friend!  Lot of people liked it.  Many knew Willie.  Everyone knew him & liked him.  Not like me at all.  I was always on the outside looking & most did not care for me.  Will share with you all.

    Cinder came in for a bit while it was stormy outside.  And Kisse curled up very close to me.  Nice.

    Photos today are from an art site.  I picked some I liked. And the artist's name is next to the photos.  Great site.  And one inspired me to try my own "art".  Such a poor example but fun to try. 😁

                                

This is the photo that inspired me to try some "art".

These are my cats as "art".

An old piece I did as "art".

National Grouch Day

Today's Name Day is Hedvig, Hillevi

    A quiet day of rest.  Well needed.  Slept late & napped too.  And Nico & Cinder were near.  Kisse I assume was near but hiding.  Now she is near me & the TV.

    Nice cool day & NO winds.  This should have been yesterday.  Would have been perfect for our festival.  We are in a freeze warning.  See if we get that cold.  Wish it would kill the bugs.  Still too many fluttering around if I choose to use my porch light.  And if it is cool/cold outside, my tap water gets cold.  Very good.

    JR & I went to Pizza Hut for supper.  I was lucky enough to share a hug there.  Needed for us both, but for different reasons.  They were busier than I thought they would be.  I had pasta & then save half for tomorrow.  Be good.  Turning into my Mom!!

    Nico is snuggled against me.  Cinder outside.  Nice evening.

    The grouch photo is my Cinder.  She is so loving but has a grouchy look on her face.  Probably from being dumped & living a feral cat's life.  Poor baby.

    Photos today are of flowers by the SVAFC's back door.  Nice to end my day yesterday on a positive note rather than someone trying to throw me to the alley.

World Arthritis Day

Today's Name Day is Manfred, Valfrid

    Just a day of rest.  I am ok and Nico will be when he lets me give his meds.  He only bites me when I try.  I ordered something to prevent his biting.  Life is certainly not fair.  Not to me, not to him.

    It was too warm today & the wind was awful.  Gusts up to 40mph or more.  Blew things around.  Wind continues tomorrow.

    They had said no chance for rain, it would all be north.  But had storms that developed around supper time.  We had rain & wind.  Sure it did not rain much.

    A busy weekend starts here in town.  Big festival that happens every other year.  It is to honor our ancestors from Sweden.  I skipped the last one & planned to skip this one.  I do not want to go alone & sit alone.  Hard to watch others around with family & friends enjoying themselves.  Better to stay home but this year I am working for both days.  Not doing anything important but that is ok.  Be good just to be around people.

    Photos today are from when I fed the birds outside.  Would love to do that again but just not up to it.
