Today Is Friday, October 11, 2024: This Is What Happened.



For some reason, the landline doesn't work. Our line land is actually a V O I P. We pay $45 a year for our phone. I tried looking up the local phone company to see what their base monthly cost is. My friend Qunella still has a landline. I still know my parents' phone number. Now, I hardly know anyone's phone number


Murphy and I went to the senior center for lunch. We had fried chicken. I had a drumstick. What I like the most is the mashed potatoes and country gravy. Before that, we went down to the post office. I picked up an international stamp. The last time I bought one, it was .95¢ and today I paid $1.65. When we got home, we removed the air conditioner from the bedroom.


Today's painting is "Two Peasant Boy With a Kite" by Alexey Venetsianova. Here are some more of his works. I don't even recall last time I even flew a cat. 


Coffee is on.

  7. Funny what we remember. I can still remember part of my phone number from when I was 8, just before we moved house.

  8. I love mashed potatoes and gravy too, but there has to be some meat on the plate too, beef or chicken. We didn't have phones when I was little, only rich people could afford them.

  9. We still have a landline that we use. We are dinosaurs these days!

  10. I haven't had a landline for years. I still remember the number. I also remember the phone number I grew up with. Like you, I don't know phone numbers anymore.

  12. I do love mashed potatoes with gravy too. I got a bag of sweet yams at Gleanors and I might make a mash of them, although I was going to make soup. One or the other.

  13. We still have a landline, but. like you, it's VOIP. Our service is from our local cable company. You are paying an excellent rate for your landline. They do come in handy when cell carriers have outages. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Hope you've had a good weekend.

    All the best Jan
