Today Is Wednesday, February 5, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Let just get right to it. Here is what one of my cousin, Della. Posted over on facebook. I am going to say it again. I am glad Trump was re-elected. All the lies the democrats told. the ways they were stealing american tax payer money has been exposed and is being stopped. Unlawful invaders are being sent home so they can't steal our tax money anymore. I am sure it looks like utter chaos to the communist democratic party that has been trying to install communism for many many years has been exposed and is being stopped. I know it's making people angry but we are getting our country back. We have a strong man in office not a puppet. Keep up the great work President Trump! (Self Portrait – 1955 – Style Magical Realism – Location unknown)

Did some drawing. Last week I was planning to go to the new drawing group this morning. And in the afternoon the water color group. Came down with the crud. I did some drawing this morning at home.

Had trouble opening the battery department to my camera. Sprayed with trusty W.D 40. Now it opens. (Homage to the martyrs – 1997/2000 – Style Magic Realism – Genre Symbolic painting – Media oil – Location Unknown)

Since we both have the crud. Nothing extra been done around the place. But we been keeping up with our daily chores. In the past we got most of our snow in December and January. Now it comes in February. It actually snowing at this moment. I understand it going snow most of us the day. Hopefully on Saturday I can go to my art intuitive group. But if this crud is still hanging on me. I won't go. Don't need to spread it. (We are in good health, reassure us – 1976 – Style Magical Realism – Genre Symbolic painting – Unknown place)

Today art movement I will be sharing is. MAGICAL REALISM. And the works of ISMAIL SHAMMOUT. (To Where...? - 1953 – Style Magic Realism, Social Realism – Genre Symbolism painting – Media Oil on Canvas – Place unknown)

Today Is Friday, May 31, 2024: This Is What Happened.

 

What a drive—almost 660 miles. We did it in two days. The cost is about the same to fly or drive. If I had been younger, I wouldn't have gotten a room.

I had a great time. The two keys were seeing the caves by Tully Lake and getting my hair colored with blue highlights.

When we got back, the lawn had grown. So when it comes Monday, I'm going to get fuel, take care of the legal stuff on my car, and do some banking.
I'm attending Bart's daughter's dance program at North Idaho College.

I did a little shopping at Amazon. I ordered Wendy and Maud a birthday gift. I'm giving each of them an art journal. I will get another gift for them and a gift for their siblings that they can use with their siblings. I also got another set of pencil pouches. They work really well for keeping my art supplies in order.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Sunday, October 21 2023: This Is What Happened

 

Don't recall which day I get the laptop. I know it either Wednesday or Thursday. But I will be glad to get my laptop going. Doing post from my phone. Is sure different.

I been keeping busy. Working on the larger guest room. Got a few items to go the thrift store.  For sure they will be more to go.

My current page in my art journal. Well it based on what going on in Gaza. Not nessuary the Middle East. But the fighting. I applied the green paint with my left ring finger and painted the blue with brush. The green and blue was applied at the same time. The experience was different. My brush want not to stay on journal page.

I'm sure I will get to some sewing. I don't see my self posting till Friday. Lets hope my laptop will be up and going. 

Coffee is on.

Today Is Thursday August 24, 2023: This Is What Happened

 

Thought I should do an post. Not much going on. But I thought I would post my cousin Calvin obituaries. Where one see's XXX is meaning a person still alive.

Dear Uncle Calvin- It’s a strange thing to encapsulate all of the things that are uniquely you, write them down, and sort through all of my own memories, as well as those from before I got to be part of your life. Before I start with the parts of your life that were shared with me, I’ll start with the day you were born to Glen and XXX XXX, Ma and Pa as you always called them, on August 12, 1951. Your Pa was away from home working the day you were born at the Old Bonners Ferry Hospital, and your Ma wanted to be sure that Dr. Bowles was the one to help her bring you into the world. It was a busy day at the hospital and there was another woman there too, and apparently the nurses had a bet going on which baby would be born first. I’m not sure how much they bet, but your Ma’s nurse came out victorious with the birth of Calvin Ray XXX. You already had a big brother, XXX XXX, and I’ll bet he was glad to have someone to play with in the house Ma and Pa built up Ruby Creek when you got a little older. 

I would have enjoyed running around with you and XXX up Ruby Creek, and from an early age it was clear to your Ma that you weren’t afraid of anything. One time when you and XXX were headed down to play in the creek, a horned cow was blocking the path. Most of us would have just gone around or tried to herd her out the way, but not you! You grabbed her by horns and pushed her out of the way and kept right on going down the path to the creek. You also became fascinated with snakes at a very young age while living up Ruby Creek. XXX ran into the house exclaiming “The worms are biting Calvin!”, and when Ma went outside to see what was happening, she found you with a den of ticked off baby garter snakes. I know your love of the outdoors, fishing and hunting started up Ruby Creek.

You were gifted a baby brother, my dad XXX XXX in July of 1955, and I’m not sure you were ever thrilled at the prospect of having a younger brother. Conversely, I know your Ma actually wanted 3 boys and 3 girls, maybe you were lucky they stopped with my dad. I still laugh when I picture you and XXX, tying the baling twine to the tongue of the red wagon between yours and Terry’s bicycles and suggesting he hang on tight as you went down the road. It was either that or leaving him behind since he couldn’t keep up. I think it was those types of character-building events that was your way of showing my dad you cared.  

When you were in the 7th grade, Ma found a big gardener snake in a potato sack in the basement, and you took it to Mr. Carlson’s biology class for him to use in class. One of your other classmates let it loose and there it went down the hallway. Junior high was also about the time you started working for XXX XXX on his farm down the road, where you and XXX fixed fences, put up hay, and other jobs. By then you lived in Paradise Valley, and when you were in high school you played football and your senior you started wrestling making it to the state playoffs. After graduating from Bonners Ferry High in 1969, you went to college at the University of Idaho where you majored in wildlife biology and met life-long friends including XXX XXX and XXX XXX 

I always enjoyed hearing about your college adventures, and especially the stories about horseback riding with XXX XXX and his wife XXX family, XXX and XXX XXX. The time you spent riding XXX, a stout appaloosa, hunting and seeing the backcountry was a treat. I could tell that their place was a home away from home. Keeping with the snake theme, you went to southern Idaho to catch lizards for one of your professors, and of course when you found a pair of rattlesnakes those came back to Moscow too.  You kept them in coffee cans on your front porch and made a recording of them rattling. This came in handy when you hit play on recording while XXX was just about to set supper down on the table. XXX managed not to drop any dishes and I can picture the glint in your gray eyes as you watched it all unfold. 

You worked hard even during college, which I think was mostly to support opportunities for hunting and fishing, and gas money for your 1959 Jeep. XXX XXX hired you to run his combine, followed by loading spray planes at Super Cat in Lewiston, with your younger brother XXX. You also worked for a company crushing rock, and eventually Jack connected him with XXXs near Potlatch, Idaho, where he drove Cat and worked in the mill. Eventually you landed a job at Idaho Cedar Sales, in Troy, Idaho, which started as 9 months out of the year with three months off in the fall that lined up just right with archery and rifle hunting seasons. I bet you regret your decision to make it a full-time year-round job, although I don’t remember any hunting seasons that you missed. Although most of your hobbies involved archery, guns, hunting, and fishing, your great friend Pat introduced you to golf during your college years, which you kept doing as long as you were able. You played golf in the University of Idaho Men's League, along with Terry and your friend Ron Long. 

August of 1980, was when I first got to meet you, as our birthdays were just 5 days apart. I’m sure you weren’t quite sure what to do with a niece most of the time. By the time I was 6 and through your role with the Troy-Deary Archery Club things must have gotten more interesting, because you hooked me up with a compound bow and I loved going to your trail shoots. I was so proud of my first trophy. I remember when you let me pick the colors of the knocks and the feathers on my arrows and watched you put them together at Hawkeye Shooting housed in your basement. Your nephew and my older brother, XXX XXX, were the only two kids going to Frederick Post Elementary that got to sight our bows in a basement while being careful not to shoot an arrow in your freezer. You “took” me hunting on Ma and Pa’s place with you, when I was pretty little, probably not quiet at all, and carrying my sling-shot and pocket knife in the hopes we’d find a grizzly. I know you hoped we didn’t stumble on any bears as you were just hoping to fill your deer tag, let alone my childhood notion of hunting any kind of bear with a pocket knife.

XXX and I used you and XX as horses, and no offense to Uncle Terry, but Calvin was the best. I could always count on him to be the type of horse that bites and he always bit my dad, XX on the leg. You were always patient with me on fishing trips, of which there were many. My favorite trips were up Ball Creek, Deep Creek, and Dawson Lake, and usually involved huckleberry picking, if the time of year was right. You were like following a freight train through the woods and as long as I kept a foot behind you it was easy hiking, because much like the horned cow you moved out of the way as a kid, bushes were much the same. Your cousin XXX, remembers many fishing trips with you up Ball Creek as well. Your XXX XXX used to tell you that the best coffee had a frog in it to stir the grounds, and XXX laughed as she told me about the coffee cup with the frog molded into the cup that you gave Aunt XXX later on.

Like you, XXX and my dad, I too went to college at the University of Idaho. Since you still lived in Moscow, I used to come hang out at your bachelor pad sometimes. You’d call me up on Friday evenings, and invite me along to a gun show or my favorite was the black powder show up in Coeur d’Alene. I counted you in a few unplanned things too, like when my pickup broke down and you towed me back to my duplex. Or the time one of the heifers I was feeding on a research project jumped the fence, and you and XXX came to help me get her roped and penned back up. You took me hunting up the St. Joe in your 1974 F-250 HighBoy, and we always got to hunt grouse on the way up. I loved our annual Christmas morning trap shoots, as you always had the best shotguns to try out. I’m so glad my husband XXX and our son XXX, and XXX and XXX boys, XXX, XXX, and XXX, had time with you. A mountain of a man, with the beard and heart to match. 

Life has a way of putting distance between people as they live their lives, which was true for us in the last 10 years and I was too far away to make the trip to Bonners Ferry to see you as much as I wanted.  You approached life as someone who didn’t let much get in the way of the path you chose, and that was also true on August 13, 2023 when you decided it was time for another path. Say hi to Pa, my grandpa, go on another ride with XXX XXX, and please don’t catch any more snakes, as your Ma had enough of that with those two rattlers you caught in college.

Your Favorite Niece, 

Just doing odds and ends around place. Like Murphy and I finished washing the south side of the house. Getting ready to paint it. I believe after the next round of rain, we will prime it. I did some embroidery as Gun Smoke was on T.V.

Didn't watch the Republican debate. We don't have cable television. Now I need to toss washed clothes into the dryer. So only thing I know what I heard on news. It was on radio, and one person mention someone use the word “Nationalism” I don't recall which of candidate use that word/term. I haven't yet seem anything good out of “Nationalism”

Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Today Is Thursday, August 3, 2023: This Is What Happened.

 

Night of the full moon. I didn't sleep well. And the 2nd, I had a full moon hangover. Well, that works for me.

I did a tarot layout. Which is saying I'm on a new adventure. But the justice card is upside down. It is a friendly warning about keeping things in balance. On retirement, our income is going to be a lot less.

It has been a while since I drew an Oracle card.

I got up and got a photo of the full moon. It was behind the trees. So the image is different. But I like different.

Today Quinella and I went down to Sandpoint. We went to two thrift stores, and I got a new purse for $2.50.

The rest were pretty dull, toilet paper, undies, 2 cans of pork and beans, and the excellent buy-on corn on the cob. .50¢ an ear.

Last two stops. It was the library in Sandpoint. I got the book, Separate Peace. By John Knowles. And the D.V.D Art:21, and PBS D.V.D. 

Our last stop was a Mexican Restaurant. I had a Spinach Enchilada with mushrooms and shrimp. It was under $14. 

Murphy will be taking Regis to Washington on Monday or Tuesday to get their cannabis product. I will hold off on Regis and see if got to the bank on Friday. I'm hoping he could take the SPOT BUS Here in the city of Bonners Ferry. It runs on Wednesday and Friday. But he thinks public transportation is beneath him. So Saturday, I will get hold of him and see if he took care of his business.

I have no issue taking public transportation. Here in North Idaho, it is limited. But on Tuesday and Thursday, the spot bus goes from Bonners Ferry to Sandpoint. I'm planning to ride it down the last Tuesday of each month.

So Monday or Tuesday, when Murphy and Regis go South, I will have Murphy get the rest of my D.V.D.s

at the library in Sandpoint.

Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Today Is Friday, July 14, 2023. This Is What Happened.

 

I can do a complete blog post. We should all keep our fingers crossed. As I share what going on. Regis got a new caregiver. Just waiting for the papers to be through. It should be toward the end of the month.

Regis likes exploring old cemeteries and graveyards. There is an old one in Colburn, Idaho. Which isn't really a town anymore. As far as I can see last burial was in the 1940s. A lot of tombstone has been pushed over or sunk into the ground. Plus than a lot of old trees fell, and plenty of brush. Also, there has been talk about putting goats in the graveyard. To take care of the brush.

As I explored, I looked up through the trees and took pictures of the skies. So I'm taking part in SKYWATCH FRIDAY. I like the look of the sky through the trees. There is plenty of great photos of skies from other bloggers.

I'm only working two days a week. A caregiver has been found in Regis and just waiting for the paperwork to go through.

On odd days I have been walking in the morning. And then, on even days, I do my exercise. Recently I have been on the stiff side. I feel my walks are taking me longer than they should.

Just recently went to the library in Sand Point and got some DVDs. Going to post only some of them this time. I did get a movie, KEEPING MUM. I like two of the actor and actresses in the movie. Which is ROWAN ATKINSON and MAGGIE SMITH.

Still reading Benjamin Franklin.

I finished up anthers embroidery block for a quilt that will be for my granddaughter. It has been going too slowly going. But I do have trouble focusing. I tend to jump from thing to thing. Rarely getting anything completed. Sitting a timer and making myself focus on what every I'm doing.

Been working in my art journal. The other day we all did a CUBISM at our art group. The eyes, nose, and mouth were done by other artists. The mouth was done by a girl who is about 8 years old. 

To check out other creative people, please visit these two sites. LUNCH and FACE OFF.

Some evil was happening with my laptop, and one of the staff members returned it to normal.

Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Today Wednesday November 30, 2022 This Is What Happen

 

Thought I wouldn't be blogging until first of December. But life forcing my hand. Liz is coming back and because of winter condition, that I won't be heading down to Spokane to pick her up. So at this time not sure what the flights are doing. Such as which flights are cancel or delay. But in back of my mind I wonder what happen down in Utah. If she mange to get out of Utah and makes to Spokane I told her to get a motel or hotel. And I will be down on Thursday December 1^st and keep in touch with me.

Editor Notes...Liz found other transportation and some of the flights been delayed of cancel into Spokane.

I pretty much got in touch with all I need to and explain to them how I will be easing into retirement. So my first extra day off will be Wednesday January 4 2023. Instead of working 32 hours a week. I will be working 24 hour a week.

The home care agency is having trouble keeping book keepers and someone to do pay-role. I been with the same company since 2007 and same book keeper. Well about six months I ago she quite. Than they found anther one, and I think she last 4 to 6 weeks. And this last one last, I don't think a week. So the general manger is going to try to do pay role. She says she no accounted. But it is what it is. Since all the care agency went to EVV there been more issue. I want Liz and Regis to have someone who actually care.

Managing to get some time to work on my quilt blocks, for a throw quilt. I got twenty blocks done. But I need 35 for this project. So if my math is correct I need 15 more blocks.

This quilt I will but slashing around the blocks, or I like to call framing the blocks.

I got the Pearl Reserve for the 4^th Wednesday from 11 till 2 for people to come in and work on there creativity. First one will be January 25^th.

Today is last day for National Novel Write Month...Here is my last two paragraph.... None of the members got through their stack of papers. Going through all the papers of Dr Miverson lab assistant, will take some time. 

What the members found out doing their research. The people who went through the time machine all came back in about 24 hours. Except James had a pair of gentlemen go though that brought back a few items, such as a small box, ring, and bottle cap. 

James had only a little bit of time to work on his research of those who went through the time machine. He had family visiting from out of town.

He told his family members about the Miverson club and their search for the truth on the time machine....Still says I write like Edgar Allen Poe. No, I didn't make the site goal. But I did make my personal goal of working on my novel every day. As for editing I need more of back story.

One thing I notice when I'm not at work and home. I eat more healthy and less emotionally. The other night we had shrimp burrito and this morning we had pumpkin pancake with walnuts in them.

Time to go out and work on snow removal. I got one of our rigs dug out. And there the other one to dig out. Murphy is going to blow snow.

Today Art is from the country NAURA

Today Is Monday July 25 2022, This Is What Happen.

 

Yesterday Murphy and I took a drive up in mountain yesterday. Mainly to get of house and out of heat. We spent a little time at Gym and Peat creek. The breeze off creek felt nice.

Maybe I'm wrong. I should of got paid last Friday, the 22^nd. Nothing deposit in our checking account. Usual the company I work for does a great job, keeping us inform. I will give them to Wednesday to see what going on. I'm sure it something simple.

I did mention about this week projects. I did mange to get majority of fabric in tote. Notice one of my red strips for the quilt wasn't cut right.

This is first tag I made and put on my grand daughter Maud Birthday gift. I will be sending it off either tomorrow or the next day. Her Birthday was last Friday.

Coffee is and stay safe.

Today Is Tuesday June 14 2022, This Is What Happen.

 

Slowly getting the extra room, and I'm starting to see some headway. Mange to get the chair clear off, of blanket, and that went in tote in basement. The chair is now under table which my sewing machine set. Friday I will be taken in few more things for the thrift store. Still need to order some plate stands for my special dishes. And it should free up some space for my books.

When I got home from work, I organize and cut strips of red fabric for a quilt I been working off and on for some time. And also cut some strips for a rag rug.

Hubby seam to be hurting most of time. He has doctor appointment in Mid July, that one I'm going to. I don't go to all that many of his. But doing home care sometime it good to have a different point a view, on different things. Although he does fine on his own when it comes to medical establishment. Our family doctor likes the spouse to come in. Maybe not every time. Main reason I'm going to discuss Murphy his bone and muscle structure. He having some issue with balance.

Today I went over to Regis and it was pretty simple day. He and I went over to this primary care doctor office. I had take some papers in and he waiting in car. Than we stop at thrift store, neither one of us got any thing. Than he went shopping at Super one, waited car. Read a book.

Also I clean out vacuum and did some general house keeping.

I thought it was interesting when he was talking with his Psychiatrists, and he says the smell of food cooking, mostly meat. Bothers him. With Schizophrenia when they say something one does know if true or not. Even if you facts and there no changing there mine.

Well I thought I would share two things from Genmeolink. It says I tend to have lower BLOOD GLUCOSE level. When it comes to glucose I've had good readings. And the second one will be HIPPOCAMPAL. They say I mid size one. I wonder if someone hippocampal is to little or big, that what. Memory issue doesn't run in my family on, either side.

Need to put batteries in scale, Liz gave me. Oh I'm watch The Hand Maiden Tale, not tail.

Today Is Wednesday March 30 2022, This Is What Happen.

 

Over cast and it just felt weird or slightly depress day. I thought a short day at work was in line. So this morning I stop and have coffee with Qunella at under the sun. Than off to Liz and in afternoon I went over to Regis.

I thought I would have had my tax paper in line. I had feeling something wasn't quite right. We have to pay in quarterly, and I had 2020 quarterly payment instead of 2021. Got that straighten around. Well instead of paying the four quarter like it should be. Look like only the first two quarter were paid. Last quarter of year was plan crazy. I wasn't getting my hours in and income was down. So who know what will happen with taxes. I'm thankful I got some money save. I wish our company I do home care though would get rid of there partnership K1 1065 and just like any other employee job, the company taxes what all tax crap. So what we will pay in...both side of social security about 15 percent, State tax we will get refund for sale tax on food, we should get around 200. I would be happy if they just drop sale tax off of food. And tax rest at higher rate, like 10% across the board. Federal tax it will be less $100. I'm guessing around $60. So the whole kitten caboodle will be around 1,670. Retirement we will have less money. But the head aches of taxes and bureaucracy. 

There three thrift store in our town. One is called Mary Ann and that is at the south end of town. The people who run it lives in Troy Mt which is about 35 miles, during Covid she had trouble running a second hand store. And they have one in Troy. It seems over whelming to me. So I get reason why only keep one going. Plus the highway though south side our town is changing. Now there second change a thrift store that help animals. This place always seem to be in some type of up roar. They seem having trouble keeping employees and volunteer. And even there doors open. Now they are open only two days a week. Last incident happen there was a guy grab one of the clerks boob. He was report to management. The Co manager want to call police and press charges. But the manager didn't. So all but two employees walk out. Since it non profit 501.C and any non profit needs board of directors. And board refuse to even address a person being assault in there store. So on Friday and Saturday those who walk out is holding up picked signs. Than our third one is Community Thrift is ran by the 7 day Adventist. They close early on Friday and than open up on Monday. I know a few people they have help though in community. Two with minor plumbing issues and even Regis that he had to have an interview with a psychiatrist for his nerve simulator in his back. There things they won't take. Things that would be consider metaphysical, immoral. I doubt they would let the books such as Harry Potter, His Dark Material, or A Wrinkle in Time. No Halloween items.

Today Is Sunday February 27 2022, This Is What Happen.

 

Having all most a week off from work, has been good for me all away around. It would be good if I could do it every month but that isn't reality. Retirement is just down the road. I will take the 18^th of March off, just for heck of it. I'm taking a week off in June. Like to go down and see my son in Medford Oregon. I been weighing the pro and cons of flying, or go by train. The reason I didn't go because of financial. But the bills are getting paid or down. In all honesty we couldn't afford for me to take the week off. But for my well being it need to be.

This as a good place to put in the link to a new blogg. Look like her name is MARCIA and her blog is called “New Decade, New Chapter, New Hampshire” and found her off of ANVIL CLOUD. If you have time go over and say “Hi” to both M and A. Don't pretty much sound like when a new person came to school.

It Sunday and I thought I would go little more in to three comment. First one comes from RIVER...”We have election soon too and I have no ideal who to vote for. I never know anyhow, but usually I can choose by the voting day”....We have school levy coming up I believe March 8. Than our primary is some time in May. And that in Nov is our general election. Some of candidates here in Idaho is crazy. I hope that I don't pick some nut job. My second comment is from SIMPLE LIVING WITH NANCY I hope you will decided on something that you will enjoy doing and keeping you relaxed. Enjoy your weekend...I enjoy a lot of things. It best for me to stay out of my head. Third and last comment comes from SONG BIRD and I'm using this comment of hers....I didn't get a chance to see Van Gogh exhibit when it was here in New York, but friends said it was amazing. If you get chance, you should go...I heard the VanGogh immersive show is planning to come to Spokane. I figure thee a really good chance of happening. Paul McCarthy is coming to Spokane a small city. I figure he coming it ups the odds that the Van Gogh art show will come.

Tomorrow, Monday is anther full day of work off. I will go back on Tuesday the 2^nd. I figure there will be plenty of house work and laundry to do. Regis see his psychiatrist in Sandpoint. He not eating and loosing weight. He can be self destructive. He tried to cut him self to find endorphins. He claims he doesn't have an appetite. I eat even if I don't have an appetite. I'm such Liz is doing ok, her ex husband is there. When Regis and I go down to Sandpoint I want to stop at Library in Sandpoint, and want to see if they got this book READ RIOT PUSSY GUIDE ACTIVISM. It wouldn't be something I would buy. Maybe from our book store, if the owner can say find for under or around five dollars. I'm even on fence than.

February I better well hit blogging pretty hard. And this week I stop by each and every one of you this past week. After I go back to work. I won't have chance to visit like I did. It would be good for me to spend less time on social media. Confession time I been down the rabbit hole on social media. I can't say I been down rabbi hole a lot. But I have. In all honestly blogging is my fav thing when comes to so call social media. Three days in March I'm going to vanish off any social media, including blogger. Not sure which days yet.

Went up to Quenella her and I went to our local tarot tea. And I was talking to the lady who runs the PEARL THEATER. Her goal is to get more of the arts into our community. Something going on everyday of the week. I'm not the only one who has to drive out of town for some art and culture. She talking to one of High School English teacher about getting writing group going. I known we had two writing group in our community. First one I'm not sure what happen. But the other fizzled out because of covid. I'm playing with ideal of going to “book discussion group” There trying to get a book case, for band books. Not sure if the high school librarian been there or is coning. To speak on band books. I found out that our local school library and county library has some band book.

Today Is Friday February 25 2022, This Is What Happen

 

In past blog I post about retiring and having some type of “Creative Studio” in our basement. But what is feasible. I once had SLIP CAST CERAMIC shop and I have all my molds, kilns, and such. It would be impossible to go full steam a head. Let look at facts. I can't and don't think it would be wise to rent or purchase a building in the area. Making payments or rent would be a struggle. Space in the basement would be limited of what could be done. And how many people could come in and be safe. In all honestly no more than 6 could be in at time., including my self. Confession time...I have my parasitism ways. So there a certain clientele I wouldn't want to be around. Plus this LINK might give you ideal. A decision don't need to be made at this moment. Can't do much until I retire. So this is making me mainly making me depress and angry. Time to put in safety deposit box for the time being.

This morning hubby and I watch the national news, and they had a story about DON"T SAY GAY. I can't come up with one thing that can't be discuss in civil tone. I grew up in family that we SUPPRESSED and or REPREES. Now I see a therapist. Keeping things in closet sooner of later things fall out. Opinion time....We would live in a better world if we had more open discussion though out our life's.

Still waiting to find out if our local art club is still a thing, or doesn't. I was wondering how art shows became.

When my niece and I went down to the art at Gonzaga Urban Art Center. I was wondering how they found the artist to take part in this showing. The curators OLIVIA EVANS and TRACY POINDEXTER CANTON they also had their piece in exhibit. I find it uncomfortable being my own curator. But I'm sure there plenty of artist out there who does a bit of it. If I didn't go to JUNDT and ask if there was any of student art work, I would of never learn about URBAN ART CENTER. But saying “Hey could you look at my work” is difficult for me. Even asking some employee in store is difficult for me. Put it in nut shell I have feeling of inadequacy in lot of things. That has put a stifle in my life.

Went to town to get some items, I was going to change my voter register back to a Republican. The county clerk had quite a line. IDAHO is a close primary when it comes to voting. Last I heard there no democrat running in my county or next one down. I sure don't want either one of these candidate making it to the general election. JANICE MCGEACHIN or AMMON BUNDY. Bundy drop out Republican party and now is running as independent candidate. Don't know much about the other candidate on Republican, compare to some of the people vote here, our current governor Brad Little is flaming liberal. Since I'm on candidate rant I might well link you to the letters my local reps that does down to Boise for me, which is SAGE DIXON and HEATHER SCOTT. There been a so called new political lines drawn in my state. I understand Heather will not be my rep. But not sure if Sage will be or not. Only democrat here get elect is usually from Boise area. So voting democraticc is a waste of time in primaries. As far as I'm concern Ammon and Janice is a lunatic. If your wondering about Idaho candidates, google them. In 2016 primary Idaho vote for Ted Cruz and our county carried him.

Clean some in bathroom. Still cold. Today Artist is HAYLEY BARKER who from the state of OREGON

Today Is Saturday February 19 2022, This Is What Happen.

 

I wasn't sure how I want to start this post. But I thought a photo of out our bedroom window would be nice. It facing east. Toward Black Mountain. I really don't want to say much about work. Or very little.

On facebook, every so often I see what I call “Positive Challenge” I recall in the old days of “Blogging” someone would host a “party” If memory serves correctly BOO MAMA was first blog party I took part in. She did a holiday one, we all shared photo of home decked out in our Christmas stuff.

Now I know there still Sky Watch Friday, Our World Tuesday, Weekend Coffee Share, and I know there other ones out in social media world.

Opinion time...There just to much negative with social media. It seems if one post something hostility and or divisive it seem to go like a wild fire though social media.

Over on face book I posted this....I'm clueless or who start these #challenges on #facebook. (Today is day 1 of life is good challenge. I am to post 1 picture with no explanation. I nominate John Doe . Jan Doe nominated me.)

(I've been nominated by Jane Doe to post images of my artwork for seven days and nominate someone each day to do the same. For Valentine's Day, I thought I'd post this little oil I call "She Loves me Not."

For today, I nominate Jane Doe)

I'm sure there more out there. I love to see more, not so much hostility.

For lunch I had left over spaghetti. Some things are better re-heated. Once again the kitchen table is shamble. I don't get it why my husband can't toss the so called junk mail in trash. Or even take care of his mail.

But in general he does ok, job on place. I figure those who lives in gallery is hiding something.

I been setting the timer and doing 15 minute of this and that.

My first 15 minutes I load up the dishwasher and clean up after breakfast. Than I did anther 15 minute of pick up. This Is What I said to my hubby “We or us could do much better on keeping the table clear” He agree with me. I don't give crap about some real-estate agency. I know we're not moving this week or even this year.

In little bit hubby is going to watch Gun Smoke and after I will watch a dvd I got from Library down in Sandpoint. The two dvd I checked out is “The Art of Travel Photography: Six Expert Lesson” The other one is “Waste Land”

It looks like I'll watch “the art of travel photography” in part. There six parts and each last about half hour. Entire thing would be six hours. It part of the GREAT CROUSES

I guess I'm weird I like and joy learning.

Today artist is MIRIAM IBLING and she from IOWA. Sharing last three from GUUAC I'm sure I will miss the next two exhibit. I would like to see these two showing...Senior and Queer Art. Which is in APRIL

Bart is to come home end of February, and I'm planning to go down to Spokane and see him. Not sure when. But also I would like to see my cousin Bernadette down there.

I got on local art club face book club site though facebook. Send them a message and ask if they were still active. Someone did apply but that person wasn't sure what the group was up to. They weren't meeting because of covid. The last post on facebook group page was May of 2019.

I like to challenge all my blogger friends to post a photo out of their bedroom window.
