6/2026 - Saturday the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Aino , Aina

    Today was a quiet day with my cats.  Little to no contact with the outside world.  Everyone quiet.  I rested & napped. 

    It got quite hot today. I had 96F here.  Some breeze.  Thunder now.  We are in a storm watch.  Will just screw up my internet again.  Calling my phone company on monday.  They may be my problem.

    Sat outside to open mail boxes.  Daisy stayed close to supervise. . I could pet her.  Then I fed her supper.  See what bedtime is if she gets more.

    Had a harvest photo from CN.  He is a good driver.  And I am sure he is excited.  But if it rains tonight that is it for a day or two.

    I had things I wanted to do but no energy.  And too much pain.  They can wait.  I need to let someone know I have 2 trees down.  No one has been here to check on things or me..

    Got FIFA on.  Watched Brazil.  Now Scotland.  Not a fan of US soccer teams.  Foreign teams play much better.  Watched them for years longer.

Laugh!!!

27 july, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

 National Creme Brûlée Day!

    What a surprise this morning!  Took Nico out around 730am.  Just before I got out of bed I got a messageon my phone of how close lightning is to me.  Lightning???  Checked.  There is a thunderstorm near me.  Not huge but there.  We got outside & thunder was loud.  I could hear rain but was not exactly where we were.  But before long it was raining.  Good size drops I could see them so I was not imagining anything.  Did not last long.  It stayed cloudy until noon or so & did not get as hot as yesterday.  I saw 101.6F.  Humidity was low but still felt awful.

    Had no plans for today so nothing to cancel.  I thought of getting groceries, but talked myself out of it.  The thought of getting out in the heat can stop me from doing a lot.  I do have 2 things in the future that I will go to.

    Quiet today.  Only heard from my 2 grandsons.  One is working on the east coast.  He is in heat also.  The other drove home from Texas.  Glad he is back.  Worry about traffic.

    Cinder stays outside.  Why?  Is it too cold in here?  What?  I make sure she has water.  None of the fur kids are eating much.  Hope it is just the heat.  What I usually give them they dislike now.  Frustrating.  Will try something new.  Nico eats fair.  And likes his treats.

    Photos are of flowers that are all taken by me.  Flowers in town leave a lot to desire this year.  Drought & heat are not good.

                        

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 374....

 What an awesome day! I slept really good. Rare.

Today is Nico's 5th birthday. And I left him home too much!! But he got real hamburger twice and a bit of a cookie. I think all is forgiven.

This afternoon I was asked to work at the Old Mill Museum hoping that maybe I can recognize people in old photos. I loved it! I found pictures of my great great grand parents' parents. I have never seen them but JR said he had seen them. I might have to photograph more photos from my family. Wonder where they came from. I would have loved to have them and then share. I was never offered anything. Typical in my mom's family. Those who have will never share. I worked from 1-4.

Found two photos with last names I know. I sent them to friends with the same name. Cool. One answered right away. His grandma and my mom were friends. I was in school with his sister. Small world.

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. JS was our waiter. And full of orneriness. Lots of huge take out orders, but a lite on eat in orders. There were 2 girls in to eat. When they were done eating, they asked JS if they could just sit and talk. Without skipping a beat he just quietly shook his head no. He was joking. They laughed and so did l.

I forgot the most important news. I was asked if I wanted to come in to the Mill and do number of things. One day a week is perfect. I feel so good and even useful !

Always be kind.

Thunderstorms tonight. Light rain in town. Drove home with rain so hard I could hardly see to drive. More moving in now. Lightning and Thunder. My fave weather. Photos are from my drive home. The old car is at my neighbors. I want it!
