Today Is Sunday, June 22, 2025: This Is What Happened.

A fairly short post. Prices are going up. I never understand why they need a religious state, any where. Also been updating some of my family history.

Today Is Saturday, June 21, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Last time I posted was on six day ago. The main reason I slice my blog posting. My life is same thing day after day. Nothing all that exciting I don't have no desire for being overwhelmed. Calm is fine with me. I'm not seeking thrills.

Last Saturday the 14^th Murphy and I went to dance show, called “Alice Though the New Dimension” Here two of Granddaughter Claudia and Wendy. In there Caterpillar custom. With their dad Bart. It was fantastic show. Not because my Granddaughter was in it. It just good.

Also did art as well, today. We meant at the tea place here in Bonners Ferry. The theme lean toward summer. What something makes you shine. And or what makes you bloom. I face one of my shadow and made peace with it. Sad thing I know it was there but I never could figure out who it was. Well it was humiliation.

Before art I stop in at Grocery Outlet. To look for possible Birthday gifts. We have two granddaughter birthday this summer one in July and August. But the other two who already had there birthday this year, I like to get them something for under $7.00. I stop in at the dollar tree to find an index file and or recipe box. As I was checking out. I found a round box that I like much better, so I got two of them. And on the way home I stop at the animal shelter thrift store, Bought nothing. Last place I stop was at Super One store and got a few groceries. Mango's are .99¢ each.

The reason I got round box to make my own art and or writing prompts. So next month I will order some items though Amazon.

It can't be far away. The usb cord and or the other thing. That I'm clueless what it's called. I was going to share photos of my granddaughters in there tap dancing customs.

Murphy and I went to Spokane and watch a dance show. Once I find what I'm looking for I will post more. I did see it this morning. So I know it here. But here.

Got an add posted to sale my CERAMIC SHOP. Paid a lot more. But the ceramic business pretty much dwindled down. I paid a lot more for it 20 some years ago. But the fact is I can't handle those big heavy molds. I plan to keep my smaller molds.

Did some housework and yard work. Oh and play a little bit on chat gpt.

Today Is Friday, June 13, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

I'm trying to open my search engine. I want to know if I dad was born on a Friday. His birthday is March 13. I was born on Friday. But the date was the 12^th. It look like my dad was born on a Sunday. Since I'm days of the week, which my family was born on. I might as well look it up. My mom was born also on a Sunday. I don't know if it true or not. Back in the Puritans time if a person was born a Sunday. They figure 9 months back one was having sex. And one could be fine or even possible brought up to front of the church. Well it would be pretty hard to prove. Unless they had someone go around and peak in windows. Might as well look up date my husband and sons were born on. Murphy was born a Monday, Sawyer born on a Friday, and Bart was born a Thursday.

I don't why it took me so long to get my carpet vacuumed. But I did get done this morning, and load of laundry. It wasn't a full load. But more then half. Tomorrow we're going to dance show, Alice Through the New Dimension. Two of my granddaughter will be in it.

The reason I did a load laundry. I didn't want to be push up against the wall. So no laundry this weekend.

Murphy and I went to the senior center for lunch. They served Cabbage rolls with lamb, mix veggies which consist of carrots, broccoli, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. Mashed potatoes with gravy. And for fruit some sliced apples. Then they had the food give away. I'm hoping later on they will have Cherries. The other day I was in a store here and cherries was about $5.80 a pound. I doubt they will get done to .99¢ a pound. Like in the past.

The other places we stop was to pick up some prescriptions. Got gas, filled up my car. Gas here is $3.39 for regular. That's a gallon. Actual Murphy put in the full tank, I walked over across the parking lot, and went into the building. Set up appointment to have my car services. Which will be week from today.

I went to the library to pick up the book I ordered through inter-library loan. It should take about a week to read. Not sure what I will be reading next.

Today Is Tuesday, June 10, 2025: This Is What Happened.

The world is now both scary and crazy. Mostly here in United States. At this point I don't think we're at point of Gaza and Israel. Or Russia and Ukraine. To me the part concern me is that who is the so called

bad person. It would be great if the bad person wore a certain color of hat. During world war 2 person wore triangle to edifying who or what they were. The BADGES. No, I shouldn't use the term mostly as I did above. The two other scene I mention is more dire then here. It worry me if one doesn't truly know who the so called “bad person” is. If a person vote different then me or thinks as I don't. I don't believe there “bad”

Later on Murphy and I will go to the senior center for lunch. I think there having something Mexican. I like to go in a little early, I want to check the thrift store and see if there any sleepwear for me. My current sleepwear is getting on the thin side.

For my medicare they are taking out a little over third. For my husband medicare they take out just under 20%. At some point we shall fall into a QUILIFY MEDICAL BENFITS. We do have to pay an deductible. The part B which is $257 annually. My part A PAYS FOR. Then there also part b, WHICH COVERS. I don't complete understand my responsibility of part A. If I end up in hospital I pay $1,676.

It a little after 10, and it already 81 degrees out side. With this heat it sure can drain ones energy.

No need to post daily. I'm smelling something sweet. Plus it my sweet snack day. The summer heat have arrived. I know I didn't call it in.

Paid all the June regular bills. Plus rig insurance for the next six months and the stickers for my plate on the Subaru. 25 years ago stickers for car cost around $30 a year. Now we pay $55. I had 3 medical bills to pay. I paid on them. I send a hair over a third of the bill. Medicare picked up quite a bit of it. They take about $185 out of my retirement check for Medicare.

Did some painting yesterday. A little later on I will work on my creativity.

Murphy and I started some cutting from Maple trees. One is Autumn blaze, and the other maple the type isn't coming to my brain. Just finish reading A Flower Fairy Alphabet. By Cicely Mary Barker. Got a book coming to our local library though the inter-library loan program. So I'm waiting for THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LAND, But our library does have some Neil Gaiman books. Our library is 8,000 square feet. My guess 4,000 on the main level and 4,000 on lower part. Looks like our library has about 34,000 books on it shelves.

Not much of a post. Things are expensive. Most meats are better than $5 dollar. A few our under that price. And usually I will try big a few extra packages. Went to my watercolor class. Got all my bills, so ready to pay them, or work on paying them. Some of the medical ones I can't pay in full.

Not sure if I posted this art journal page before or not. But I have curious mind. And curious can easily go down the rabbit hole. I had chat gpt take a look at some art I did, and here is the REVIEW.

This morning Murphy and I went to Sandpoint, about a 30 minute drive. I had appoint with an surgeon and we set up date for my breast reduction. The date is September 9^th. The reason that so far out is because. Murphy is having cataract surgery in August.

But before we went I fixed breakfast. We ate bacon, french toast, and there was a pancake left from the other day, and I dip it in egg batter and fried it like french toast.

We took a lunch with us. Tuna sandwich and blueberries. And we stopped at North Forty and got a few items. Still ran us $25.

Still waiting for our electric bill. Going to watercolor class, tomorrow (June 4th) Will eat the senior center there serving chef salad. It been ages and I mean ages since I had a chef salad.

Waiting for one more bill, our electric one. I was thinking of calling Northern lights. That's the electrical company. And say “If I don't get my bill by the 3^rd just forget it. I will pay my utilities in full. Plus the rig insurance is also due. Then we have some medical bills as well. A few of them will get paid off. The others I will send them something.

Murphy and I start some trees. The end of the road people. An older couple now are passed on. Their kids sold the property. Right now there logging it and saw some gravel trucks coming in. My guess they will they will divided it up. Here any new places plots are divided up in to five acres plots. My concern is what I called undesirable Coastal people will show up. We get quite a few of them moving up in my area. And they love Trump. 

End of last week I went a new moon ritual. My new moon goal is to get my box of items to the thrift store, and clean out the china hutch. Where the dishes are. That the two main things.

I just finished the book I was reading, FRIDA KAHLO. As I wait for the book I want to get from inter-library is THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE. I'm about ready to start, A FLOWER FAIRY ALPHABET.
