9/2026 - Monday the 14th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Ida , Ronja

I have known several Idas.  Must have been a popular name at one time.  Mom had a neighbour lady named Ida.  One of our landlords we farmed for was an Ida.  And others I have forgotten.

    Today was just a normal day.  Home alone with the cats.  One short email.  Texting with MM & AN.  Sad day in some ways.  Special day in other ways,

    Kisse never came in the bedroom all night.  Not normal.  I was sooo worried.  Almost scared to get up thinking there might be something wrong Kisse.  I got up & there at their water dish was Kisse.  Where was she all night or did I sleep so sound I missed her & she never ran over my bed.  Normal today.

    Daisy is ok,  Out in heat.  I saw a bit over 100F.  Sick of heat.  Cooler tomorrow I can sit out with her some.

    I had plans to move some heavy boxes to the trash outside but changed my mind.  Too hot.  I am in too much pain.  A quien le importa?

    Got word today that KN's mother-in-law has died.  Hard to lose a mom or anyone,  She was a really nice lady.  Always liked her.  She was so good to her grandchildren,  She will be missed.

    It is MM's birthday tomorrow.  Sent him an early card.  We texted a lot then!!

    Tired today.  Tired of being tired.  Took a nice cozy nap.  Cinder curled up next to me for most of it.  Much better than working out in the heat.

    Blood sugar better today.  I had a small can of soda for lunch.  Nice for a change.  BS was ok after eating.

    Photos today are a mix.  Not sorted.  Too lazy.

Current photo of my two oldest great grandsons. Sweet.

Cinder I think..

Old old photo of Presser Hall on the college campus.  Sadly all the trees are gone now.  Concert hall, offices, practice offices for musicians,

 

My great grandmother's paper giving her permission to come to America from her pastor.  She was young & traveled alone as far as I know.

A fave photo of Nico.  Did this by himself. Miss him so much.

Love this one.

Cool.

Great painting.

Wish I was there.

Morocco I think.  Have a friend there so I like pictures from there.

MM & friend CW.  MM is very tall.  No idea how he manages to hug me.  Glad he can.  Their shoes explain how they managed this.

HaHaHa

National Beer Lover's Day

This is honor of Willie.  He loved beer for many years.  I never did.  Gives me a headache.

Today's Name Day: Kevin, Roy

    Another very quiet day.  Very few texts.  Tis my life.

Cinder slept with me off & on all night.  Plus she had control of the chair/blanket.  Kisse slept on my bed often during the night.  I like that.  And she is better about me turning or getting comfy instead of leaving.

    Weather was super nice.  Low in the 50s.  Our high was 75.  If it would just stay this way.  I slept good in the cool air.  Now it is 66 outside.  Feels good outside.  Scant chance of rain this next week as we get drier & drier.  Awful.  I would hate to plant wheat in this dry weather.

    Played with photos again.  Nice to entertain myself, when there is no one to talk to.  Think my great niece played volleyball today.  Hope they did good.  Sharing some I edited & autumn photos I have saved.

                                

I took the flower photo

I took this photo of my front yard

Piece of art on a friend's fence.  I copied a photo of it as they live to far away to get a real photo.  Like it.

Here is the process I go through to create these ones I like in case anyone is curious.

Convert to a pencil sketch

06 february, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I had a quiet day.  No excitement.  Too warm, both day & night.  No bueno.  Our low was 35F & our high was 60F.  Maybe rain/snow on wednesday.  One can hope.

    Not too much pain.  Just the usual.  I always have pain.  Whether I act like it or look like it.  Just a fact of my life.

    I canceled my SoftWave treatment.  Rescheduled.  Canceled RA doctor tomorrow & changed the date.  Not happy with her.  Both she & my eye doctor have dropped the ball with me at this time.

    I tried to nap as I was awake until 7am.  Could not sleep.  My mind worked too hard & I cried.  Another fact of my life.  My bad mood has sort of returned.  Will put on a nice face tomorrow.

    I had something for my brother & I kept forgetting it.  I drove to his house just to deliver it.  Talk about weak of mind!!!  My brother was the only contact with the outside world I had.  Just me & the fur kids.

    Sort of hoped to hear from other people, but nada.  I have reached out.  Will not today.  Just upsets me to be ignored.  Few even react to anything I post on FB.

    Something that really upsets me..  Should not but it does.  When I post something I generally explain what it is.  But 9x out of 10, one or two will ask exactly what I posted.  Can they not read?

    I got in the mail the program for the 1907 Messiah performance in Lindsborg.  I copied each page & posted.  People really liked it.  And they had tons more music than we do now at performance time.  The chorus was performed 4 times during the week.  Yikes!  And several other things going on.  What a fun week!!  I miss singing but those days are gone for me.  I should just go listen to their dress rehearsal.

    Cinder was out all day but stayed near the porch.  Last night she was in next to me in bed.  She curled up in my left arm.  Nico was curled up behind my knees on my right side.  Kisse was near on the floor.  She is rather weird.  Sort of marches to the beat of her own drum.

    Photos today are ones I have altered.  None are spectacular.
