So easy to do.  Should make some again.  Lay flowers on a couple of layers of paper towels.  Arrange flowers. on card stock paper. Cover with more paper towels.  Pound with a hammer.

Today's Name Day". Olle, Olof

    Another day at home alone.  My usual day when not working.  Wish I would get used to being alone.  Cats are probably tired of me talking to them.  😻

    I slept pretty well.  And when I napped also.  Kisse stayed with me.  Cinder was somewhere else.

    Woke up from my nap feeling sick,  Wanted nothing for supper.  I ended up with popcorn.  And some cake.  Living the high life.

    Awful weather today.  I saw 99.5F here.  Cool overnight.  Cooler weather starts tomorrow.  Finally.  Rain in NW Kansas.  Not anywhere near here.

    Heard from JL & photos from MM & CW.  They are having fun.  Good for them.

    Not much to say today.  Photos are some really old ones I found.

Today's Name Day:  Ragnhild, Ragnvald

    Had a good day.  Still hard to walk but am managing.  Stomach no good so I took some meds.  They helped.

    After lunch I shampooed & styled my hair.  Looks 100% better.  After that I tried to take a nap but could not relax enough to sleep.  I gave up.

    JR & I went to supper at Pizza Hut.  I actually ate some pizza.  They were swamped with customers.  Good to see.  

    While eating one of Willie's best friends came in for pizza.  Had not seen him since long before Willie died,  We had a short but nice visit.  Great to see him.  I think he & Willie had a falling out long before he died,  I think his friend just did not realise that he was really sick ---- dementia & alcoholism.  Most of Willie's friends did not like me.  I was not a proper farm wife.  I had a life besides sitting in a tractor.  I was a city girl.  None of their business.

    Then on to get some groceries.  I just needed around 5 things.  Nothing too big.  And a newspaper.  Cinder was out of her treat meat.  She was glad when I got home & shared!!!

    Ended the evening with an ice cream sandwich from Dollar General,  Very good.

    Had several boxes from Amazon on my porch.  I dreaded dealing with them.  It is a monthly supplies.  Paper products,  chips, cookies, soaps, cat food.  Easier to deal with them on my porch than going in a store & carry then twice or more.  And with no backup I do what I can to make life easier for me.  Although MM says I should call him to help.  Bless him & love him.

    Heard from our cousin in Kentucky.  He & I had a long visit online.  Chatted about my weather & our families.  Good chat

    Heard from MM & another friend.  The friend checks on me often.  Besides MM she is almost the only one who checks daily to see if I am ok.

    Awful weather today.  I saw 99F here.  Ick.  Around 6am the humidity was 98%.  Tonight it is 30%.  No rain near us here.

    The sunset was incredible.  Will share tomorrow.  Took photos.  Look pretty good.  And it is really showing how the days are getting shorter.  I sure noticed it tonight.  😁

    Got home & what a surprise!! My yard & driveway was all mowed.  I tried to call KN but must be busy.  Looks nice. 

    Photos are all autumn photos.  Too damn hot for sunny summer photos.  Hate this weather.  😧

Bastille Day in Paris

Today's Name Day:  Folke

    Another day I to cancelle.  I had hoped to eat supper out but it will wait.  RA & my stomach rules my life today.  I did sleep good though.  My glucos sensor was pretty quiet.

    Hot again with a teaser forecast of maybe rain this afternoon.  No clouds at all.  Just heat & humidity.  😞

    Had a text from CF.  Nice to hear from him.  Glad he is doing well,

    Before supper I had a video call from JS.  Nice to see & hear him.  And he paid me couple of nice compliments.  I end every day with a post on my private diary about what I an grateful for.  They will certainly make my list.

    I got a photo of Kisse's new hideout.  She only sleeps there now.  She is hidden.  But she can watch me all night.

    Hoping tomorrow is better.  Need a few groceries after supper.  Pictures tonight are a mix.

My best friend John who was born on Bastille Day.  He was in France years ago on Bastille Day & he was very sure the fireworks were for his birthday!!!

I wish I had had someone who was a protector for me when I was a child.  I had no one who protected me .  I hope I treat others better than I got treated & protected.

My kids.  I think of Nico daily & still miss him a lot.  He was so close to both cats.

Today's Name Day:  André, Andrea

Have known one Andrea from high school.  Older than me.

    Staying home today.  Cancelled all plans except running an errand for MM.  Drove around town a bit to take photos of flowers.  Felt ok doing that.  Could not stay to visit with MM but I am physically not up to it.  There were workmen in his house.

    The weather truly sucks today. The breeze does not help at all. Stopped at the cemetery on the way home.  Worry about Willie's grave.  Got there & my car said it was 100F.  Ick!!!  Stayed at that temp all they way home.  Now there is a line of storms in the SW Kansas with some high winds.  Wonder if they will come here?

The weekend will be cooler.  Great.

    Had some emails today.  That is it.  Photos are a mix of things.

Ghost Castle.  No idea how this happened!

Ghost Castle.  No idea how this happened!

The old airport in Denver Colorado where planes took off & landed over the interstate.  What a thrill if I to see it live!!  Today the airport is far out of town.
