Today Is Thursday, August 28, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Sometime the letter etween v and n sticks. The good news I order a lap top out of wal-mart yesterday, and should be here today. I got a chromebook. Our local library has people help people with the techie stuff. The other day hubby and I did up a shrimp dish. Some time Safeway has them on sale. 

Murphy had great result with one of his catract remove from his let eye, Now he only needs reading glasses. Next Wednesday he will have his other eye done. 

One of my friend says there no golden years, they ought to be called the rust years. After a certain time in our life things slowly start to fall apart. In general I feel that as we age compare to years ago. Science made great progress.

Still have on box on the far upper right shelf I like to go though. Not sure if I will get it done in the next couple of weeks or not. There this wooden box we have. I called it the treasure box. I put different things in it. Looks like mostly books. I'm going to let my grandaugher dig though it, and take items. With there parents approval. I can't think why they wouldn't let them have the items in the box. How it will be done is buy drawing from a regualer  playing card deck. 

As you enter any medical place they have a sign on door warning about measles. The county just south of us had some report cases. I know I was vaccinated for one of the types of measles, and the other the vaccine hadn't come out. Both of our sons are vaccinated, so is my granddaughter are. It looks like only 75% of our community is vaccinated. Not herd immunity. I just don't get people who don't get there children vaccinated. I talk to some of those who don't get their children vaccinated, and they're full of all sort conspirary crap. 

Confession time...I pretty much laugh at those conspirary theory.  Since Trump and the maga base I'm starting to believe that he wants to be dictoator. And he keeps moving that way. It seem like on daily bases he is breaking or bending our constition. 

At the libary I got some of my writing and journal prompt card done up. So thankfull for the help I got. I now need a protractor and I'm sure there one around here. Plus I got some color pencil and crayon divided up, and place in the treasure box. Still working on embrodiary block for a quilt.

One thing I'm doing for this post is sharing some photos. I plug in my camera and took off some pictures.

Murphy had his surgery yesterday, and all went fine. Had a check up today, and that was also good.

With running Murphy around things got a little out of hand. It has been more crazy here. Got things caught up. The neighbor was having a sale. So I got recliner for $60. Looks brand new and it clean. I also got some queen sheets for $10.00

I been playing around with a little family history. The surname of McCalmant, for some reason the name Robert comes up. Mostly Robert went by Rob or Bob. I don't think they use that name much these days. Their a Robert the 3^rd would be my 3^rd great grandfather he came over from Ireland, a place called Delaware. He served in our American Revolutionary war. And got paid by a land warrant. The United States government gave him land.

Looks like before they came to the United States they lived Northern Ireland and Argyllshire Scottland.

Off to the senior center and here is photo of Robert McCalmant the 4^th. And his wife Catherine Pealer. They look like they lived such hard life. He lived to 84 years old.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Tuesday, August 19, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Thinking back on what gone in my life since I last blog. I'm so glad nothing all that much really happens. Or let say it won't get me into no trouble.

Yesterday, my friend Lola from a long ago. I knew since before I start school. Well like most of who I know got married. Cyprus. We went to our senior center. Had spaghetti. And after we went over to the community thrift store. She found some tops and some pants. I was looking for some T-shirts for the granddaughter to do crafts when they come hear. Plus a different suitcase, that zipper worked better. I struck out. She was impressed with prices at the thrift store.

She brought up some goodies. Sure I had a few and once they was gone. I toss them in the trash. For the last couple o months I been regulating the sugar intake. Mostly things like cookies, cake and such. Not saying I will give it up complete. That not reality for me. So I give myself a so called goody every 3 days. More than half of the time I hold to it.

Murphy and I went to the senior center for lunch and there food give away. They had fried chicken, a choice of dark or light meat. I took a thigh. Plus they had with the fried chicken was potatoes and gravy, carrots, roll which I didn't have. Also they serve some mix berries.

We got three bags of food. Only three of the food items had price still on them which comes to total of $21.00 and there was other items breads, fruit, veggies, and can goods. So I'll multiply the $21.00 by 3 and figure that how much we got worth of food. Which is $63 and they have it on Tuesday and Friday.

Doing chores and such around the place. Let see what I did today. Sweep the floor, wipe down the counters, did load of wash and still need to dry it. Made the bed and mowed the lawn.

Start to crochet a rug for the bathroom. The one we use now is getting thin.

I'm not trying to put to much thought into it. Trying to figure out how Murphy and I can go down to Medford Oregon, the last half of October. And buy a lap top. At this time with us paying what Medicare doesn't cover for our medical bills. I know there under $500 at this point. But $500 is 43%. Paid off part of the $500 and still there Murphy Cataract and my boob reduction. I'm thankful for the medicare. Murphy has his surgery tomorrow 1:30 in the afternoon. With the medical bills I won't be doing both going to Medford and getting a new laptop. I don't want that much on my credit card with the medical bill hanging over us.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Thursday, August 8, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Won't shove any of you down the rabbit hole. I couldn't tell you how many time I been down an rabbit hole. Mostly since the computers came out. Yesterday I attend my water color group. My friend brought her grandchildren a long. Took a photo of there work and went over to Chat Gpt and ask a few question about their WORK. So yesterday I watched a video on these two artist. Marc Chagall and Jean Dubufffet. I heard of Chagall. If it works out I will watch video on the other artist.

My friend Quenell took me out for lunch, we at Understand. We both had a cup of split pea soup and half sandwich. Before I meant Qunella I stop over at the hospital clinic and paid off one of my medical bills, and went to the library to set up appointment to have someone help me to design some flash cards. And drop off my water bill. So all the bills are paid for month of August.

This morning I walked down to end of the road. A little later on Murphy and I are going to take down an fence. Not sure if will get the entire fence down or not. If I had bet on it. I would bet not. No major project going on. Look like my son Sawyer and his daughter will be coming up this weekend. Hopefully we can take the girls to the fair.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Monday, August 4, 2025: This Is What Happened

 

Yesterday, the 3^rd of August. Murphy and I went for a drive up on Burton. It a mountain on the Selkirk range. West of us. The road was sure rough. A little sore from all the bumps. I had plan to take my sketch book. Like the majority of the time. I forget something. This time it was a pencil. I looked though the pick up to find one. No luck. So I thought I would share some photos on the adventure of Burton. I have wonder about things left over in a bond or campfire. Why would someone in middle of mountain put in a muffler to burn.

We're waiting for package to be drop off. Sawyer pick up broke down here last time he was up from Oregon. Well it's the transfer case. He planning to come back up in middle of this month. I will be glad to see him, as always.

Let see what are three things I did this morning. Took a shower, exercised, and took a shower. Now for three things I might do. Well in all odds I will do them. Take out kitchen garbage, read, and do some prep work before I mow the lawn tomorrow.

As for non chores. Like family history, creativity, and etc. I don't have routine and I don't do them on daily thing. I now don't blog daily. Yesterday I was on Chat Gpt, and wrote something and ask which Dark Shadow characters does this writing matches up with. Well I had two. But the one I like to share is QUENTIN COLLINS and Angelique Bouchard.

Writing Prompt: The Ghost in the Mirror – A Conversation with Quentin Collins

Prompt:
Your character walks through a strange house and finds someone waiting in a forgotten room — not quite alive, not quite dead. He introduces himself as Quentin Collins. He says he knows what it’s like to be haunted by your own past more than any curse.

Write the scene that follows.
What does your character confess?
What advice does Quentin offer them that no one else ever has?

Blurb for Your Blog (To Introduce or Link the Prompt)

Lately, I’ve been journaling through characters and archetypes — blending tarot, memory, and literary figures to better understand myself. One entry led me to imagine a quiet, powerful meeting between Dora (a version of myself) and Quentin Collins from Dark Shadows.

This prompt came out of that moment — a space for anyone else who feels like they’ve been “paying” for mistakes long past. Maybe you’ll meet Quentin too.

 

I really didn't know how to face the person in the mirror, and we all have our Quentin that just won't let us go. Maybe there some reason Quentin hangs around. Everyone that count for anything had forgave us. Those who refuse has pass and lives in spirit world. Those who walks among us who refuse to let go. Might have there reason. In my world I want to know why they can't let go or refuse to. Is it a form of control? Control the free will. So my question is why we are poses by our past. And who is blame for it. Let look at the birth of Jesus for a minute. Could they made up the story of him being born to an Virgin. Let look at this bible verse for second. Deuteronomy 23:2 (KJV)
"A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.", Wisdom of Solomon 3:16 (NRSVCE)

“But children of adulterers will not come to maturity, and the offspring of an unlawful union will perish.”

And Wisdom of Solomon 4:3–6 (NRSVCE)

“But the prolific brood of the ungodly will be of no use, and none of their illegitimate seedlings will strike a deep root or take firm hold.

If the story of being born to a virgin what would've actually happen if people knew the truth. It strong possible one of my great grandfather was born a bastard. For 4 generation we been told a cover up story. He took his old maid aunt name. 

 

If we don't understand past history we will repeat it. And refuse to look at it from all views. We're doom to repeat and it will like an leg iron with heavy weight we drag. But I honestly think we do have the key to our own free will. But where do we store our belongings. That we can meet them on our own terms. I have a storage area to place my possessions, a make believe safety deposit box. Even my possessions is place in my art journal. Not all possession one can hold in there hand.  I should open these on my term. But I don't. 

Coffee is on. 

 

Today Is Saturday, August 2, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 For a veggie tonight we had broccoli. No need to post the rest. Today I went into the library and got a book to read, BANKSY. I have wonder exact who Banksy. Does the secret of Banksy makes who he or she is. I'm starting to think there is a possibility more than one Banksy. Plus I put in request for a book from enter-library loan. I want to read, THE DIARY KEEPERS. After the library I went to our local fairground and a group of us did art. We worked on paper mache. Our community was having 3 on 3 basketball. 

Around the place I did some general chores and mop the bathroom floor.

Today Is Monday, July 28, 2025: This Is What Happened

 

I like to share an local article in one of papers, ABOUT THE MEDCAID CUT HERE IN IDAHO.and here is my comment to the facebook page about Idaho Medcaid...There’s no doubt that our healthcare system needs improvement—but cutting people off Medicaid will only make things worse.

Here in Idaho, qualifying for Medicaid is extremely difficult. The income limits are tight:

A single person can’t earn more than $1,800/month.

A two-person household is limited to $2,433/month.

A family of three: $3,065/month.

And four people: $3,598/month.

These numbers alone show how many working families fall through the cracks. Even if you’re working full time, you may still earn just enough to not qualify—but not enough to afford private insurance. And that’s just the income side. There are resource limits too. Depending on the program, your home and assets might be counted, and when a person dies, the state can come after their estate to recoup costs paid by Medicaid. That’s a scary reality.

In most of my adult life, I’ve had no health insurance. When the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) passed, it was the first time I had some sense of medical security. It was a turning point. I’ve never understood why the U.S. doesn’t have some kind of single-payer system, where people can buy in by paying a percentage of their income. That way, we could share the responsibility—and people wouldn’t have to fear losing everything just because they got sick.

Maybe I’m being a little self-centered—I know I’m scared of losing what little we have. But I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that way. Kicking people off Medicaid doesn’t fix our system. It makes the gaps wider, and the safety net smaller. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I do know this: we can’t afford to let people slip through the cracks—especially in rural communities like ours.

I'm linking the BONNERS FERRY FACEOOK PAGE. Not sure if it will work or not. But by some of them comments. Some people think it funny that people is loosing there medical insurance.

I just need to learn to pace myself. Not sure if I over did and hurt my hip. The next day I felt fine. Plus I tried to cut back on my MELOXICAM. See the last time I saw my doctor. I told my doctor I didn't think the Meloxicam was all that effective. I still hurt. She suggest I go off of it for a few days. And see where my pain level was. By the third day my pain level was sitting at 8.5 to 9. A few time I was about ready to go to the emergency room. So I got back on the Meloxicam, and the worst my pain has been was 3.75. I can mange on that. Actual I have fairly high pain tolerance. Plus on my left side I have Osteoarthritis. Then there lack of muscle tone. If my muscle tone was tighter it would help my joints.

Clean the toilet, and start anther quilt block. Now for the embroidery blocks I have just passed over the half way point. On number 7 out of 12.

Today Is Sunday, July 27, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Not sure what happened. I was in horrible pain. My hip! I kept buckling as I walked, or it felt like my hip was so loose in the socket. It was dangling like broken puppet.

I got most what I want done today, it was light day. The only thing I still need to wrap up my weekly part of my bullet journal for August. So today I made the bed, made the print on my next quilt block, and choose some embroidery floss. This up coming one is a kitchen table scene. And mowed our back yard.

Looked at price of larger trash can. I was shocked. Seem like can't find any under $50.

I though PENGUIN. Sunday five had some great question, and I decided to visit all who left comments.

1: What blog made you laugh this week?  There a lot that make me smile. I don't know where she finds them but I like “SHE WHO SEEKS” She finds interesting meme.

2: What blog made you think this week?  MATHEIKAL. He write on many topics. To me they all make me think.

3: What have you read this week?  I will continue reading, The Enchanted April, by Elizabeth Von Arnim

4: What was the best thing you have eaten this week?  At the senior center, Spare ribs, Baked Potatoes-with cheese, sour cream, bacon. Biscuits, and fresh fruit.

5: What was most relaxing for you this week? When moon changes I take it easy. Or I slow my pace way down. I don't have servants so I need to pick up after my self, and make my bed.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Wednesday, July 23, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Had trouble focusing today. Darn ADHD! Although it been worst. A lease I didn't start project and wonderer off. 

Murphy and I went to the senior center for lunch. The ribs they had the meat just fell off the bone, and melted in your mouth. But before that we stop at the thrift store, and drop off a 2 pairs of men boots, and some glasses.  Didn't buy anything at the thrift store. Although I saw some acrylics paints. I there still there tomorrow, will buy them. And donate them to our weekend art group. After lunch stop at Super one, and got some chicken hind-leg parts. .79¢ a pound. But it came in 10 pound bag. So we divided them up, and frozen them for upcoming meals.

Coffee is on. 

Today Is Sunday, July 20, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Last Thursday. I pretty much sat on my behind. Since I don't have servants. I still did those light every day chores. Like making the bed, and picking up after myself. Sure I was bored. Although it felt good.

My shelf I order came, and the following day. I clean out corner, and ran vacuum cleaner quickly over that spot. Ended up temporary placing all my art supplies on the bed. The next day I place it all on the shelf. Ended up a few things going to the thrift store. This isn't what I'm totally happy with. But at this point I'm pleased and not disappointed.

I'm also slightly please that I was able to put some money on one of the bills. Wasn't much but every bit moves it down.

Talking about the thrift store. I knew there was a two pairs of hubby boots setting in box, in the shed. I had him look at them. He said they are to narrow for him. So they will be placed in the tote for the thrift store. This week I plan to go though the shed. I know there more to take to the thrift store. I don't need it.

For lunch hubby and I split a Chinese dish we got from the senior center. It cost retail $7.00. Friday they ended up with 600 pounds of food to give away. I did a bag up for my friend Lolita and took it to her place. The bag had bag of mandarin oranges, and cherries. Then also a box doughnut holes, blueberry scones, and 2 things of cheese.

This week sort of on my agenda. The food truck will be in our community. It been a while since I been to it. But I want to get those extra bills paid down. They will be here on Wednesday. I'm glad someone complain that they were giving out bad food. Lot of it just need to be toss. I don't mind cutting out spots and such. Even low income people should be respected. Then on Tuesday and Friday they be food give away at senior center. Plus Wednesday they serving spareribs, baked potatoes, corn on cob, biscuits, and fresh fruit. I like to go visit Liz and there also the dump run. I'm sure I can find things to do.

Editor note...The bad food out of the food truck was in the past, and they correct the issue.

Today Is Wednesday, July 16, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Tomorrow is my moontha. Like a sabbath. Just going to do not much of anything. I wish I could honestly say I wasn't going to do anything. But what I need to will take less half hour. A little pick up in the morning, and in the evening, after dinner.

I been quite busy. I was hoping to get in a lease 20 minute of reading. It not in me. I think I will be able to 10 minutes or few pages.

I went to senior center this afternoon. Learn to make a bag to hold some plastic bags. Sewing up the side seams, we did what is called a french seam. Last time I did one, was back in school. Once the teacher, started me on one. It all came back.

Today Is Monday, July 14, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

The sun was behind the smoke as it went down last night. We had a wild fire about five miles from my  place. We couldn't really see much, no flames or heavy smoke. Look like it burn about 20 acres, which now is 25% contained. No homes was lost. But some out-building where lost. Not sure the cause of the fire.

Niece Edith and her husband Hans. Hans mother Qamra and her daughter Eirween had to be advocated. I don't know when the last time Qamra left her place. There quite a story behind these two. Actual it sad. Qamra mother died in state mental hospital. Looks like Qamra is following some of the same pattern. The local paper did an article on the FIRE. And posted on line. Our print paper comes out on Thursday. They might know the cause. (Niece Edith Photo)

Usually at night we open the windows, to let the cool air come though the house. With the smoke we didn't open the place. So the house never had chance to cool down. I got up around 7 in morning and it was fairly warm already. Looks like we will be having some cooler temps and rain. I just hope there enough rain to combat for possible lightening.

We did a few things. Took care of some paperwork. I know I mention it in my last post. But I got some file, then there where small amount I toss in a garbage can. The other bit needs to be put in the safety deposit box. Murphy and I tried to fix some sprinkles. I think we should just go buy one. We went to the senior center we had lasagna, with lamb. Plus green beans, toast, green salad, peaches.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Sunday, July 13, 2025: This Is What Happened

 

Not sure why I been on the tired side. I been sleeping good. But lets blame it on the heat. Right now it 10 in morning, and 80 (26). Looks like most of next week, we won't see temps up in the 90's (32) After the sun goes down. The temps drops.

Haven't been doing any projects. I wouldn't say I haven't been doing nothing. There always those general chores. Right now I got clothes in the dryer. And Murphy and I clean up after breakfast. We had french toast and a sausage patty.

In the creative field I been catching up on pages I've done in my art journal, never completely finished. I came up with an ideal what to do with the papers in bottom of my dresser drawer. Not sure if I will get to it today. But I want to have it finished before Wednesday. It should take less then 15 minutes. I'm guessing about 12 minutes.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Wednesday, July 9, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 It morning, now. I thought I would post. In about 2 hours I will be heading south. Murphy got a doctor appointment last this afternoon. Going to stop and see his sister. I like to do a little bit of things around the place. 

This morning I watch a little bit of the news. It seem the been cover the same stories over and over. I know there more going on. I actual like to listen to different point of views on a story. Question time...What news outlet do you use? 

I end up watch one episode of  LANDSCAPE ARTIST OF THE YEAR I usually don't agree with the judges. This video is about 45 minutes long. 

Coffee is on.

Today Is Tuesday, July 8, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Look like it another hot day. I keep hearing it might even make about to about 95 (35). Went to the senior for lunch and they had chicken sliders. Plus there food give away.

I did some minor changes in my health habits. No eating between 5:30 pm and 8:00 But at times lives goals just puts a monkey wrench in it. And only only certain days I have sweets, which is these days, 3^rd, 6^th, 9^th,12^th, 15^th, 18^th, 21^st, 24^th, 27^th, 30^th. I eat naughty sweets. In about month I haven't quite lost 5 pounds.

This morning I order a 4 items on prime sale. I do have issue with billionaire not paying there fair share of taxes. I look up on how many billionaire they are in the world. According to A.I and Forbes they're 3,028 billionaire. All together they hold 16 trillion dollars in wealth.

So the items I order there no way I could got any of the items in my community. The closes items was shelf I could of went to Walmart just south of Sandpoint, in town called Ponderay. It 21 miles from my house. The other things was a nightwear, which I could get at Walmart. The other two items was art items and I think I would had drive to Spokane. I could think a few more items. But I had to tell myself no. I do that quite often. To tell myself no. 

Yesterday. I wrote out checks and paid the bills. The water, gas, and electric I keep current. Then my internet I pay quarterly and it due the end of this month. That got paid. And I paid two smaller doctor bills, both under $30. The other three bills I couldn't pay off completely. Two are medical, which I should pay off by the end of August. More medical bills to come. A lease most of medical stuff in this area will work with you. I promise them I will make a monthly payment of over $45 each month. And I didn't pay off the credit card. For some funny reason I like to eat and never know what will come up. Hopefully I will have to chance to pay more on my three bills that are dragging.

Off to Coeur d'Alene, Murphy need to see the doctor about his  hiatal hernia

Today Is Thursday, June 26, 2025: This Is What Happened.

The other night I went to up to the Pearl Theater and took part in still life drawing. I believe they're was about 12 of us. I decide to do mine in a collage form. I was surprised some of the artist never heard of collage. One called it application with paper. I was quite please how the piece came out. 

I understand that the Pearl Theater lost some of the grants they recieve and or they won't renew them. In 2024 they held the Pride event. And they didn't public did this year, because of the backlash. Starting first part of June, the pearl start to get hate mail. That other local business is afraid of being part of queer community. Even if it just be ally and have there name part of the Pearl. They do have other events there as well. 

Murphy and I still going to the senior center. Last Sunday we meant up with my son from Spokane and his family. We found a place on the south-side of the PEND D OREILLE river. We was hoping the girls could catch a fish or so. No luck. They had fun playing in the water.

This morning I went and had coffee with Quenella at Under The Sun. She had tea and I had coffee we walk down to the local print shop. She had some cards done up. I asked about prices for some custom made flash cards. At times I wonder if I communicate or explain myself in a matter that I get my message across. They seem reasonable priced. Now I need to figure what size of paper I can get the most bang out of. The example isn't quite what I want. I stop at the dollar store and looked at poster board. The large white ones was .50¢ each but they seemed slightly smaller then what I known them to be. After that I stop at Super One grocery store, and best deal I got was corn on cob. 4 for $1.00

I forgot I stop at the thrift store and drop off some items. That been sitting in tote in smaller bedroom. It gone!

Got one the medical bill paid off. Next month I will start on them again.

Coffee is on.

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.

Coffee is on. 

Today Is Sunday, June 15. 2025: This Is What Happened

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.

Coffee is on.

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.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Monday, June 9, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

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.
