Today Is Sunday, August 2, 2026: This Is What Happened

 

I thought I would never say. “I'm sick of T.V dinner” Growing up if I had a T.V dinner it was a treat. I think the only brand back then was “hungry man” If I was to guest how often we ate T.V dinner I would say. At the most twice year.

Since it been so hot, and the air condition isn't powerful or big enough to reach the kitchen area. So for dinner we been doing T.V dinner.

Well things changed a bite. There was an cool down period for two day. But they're a major fire in SPOKANE, and we got the smoke from it. Plus the other wildfire around us. The best thing for us would be rain.

So the T.V dinner package I been cutting up. To be able to have it spiral art journal. Which I can do locally. I believe I was quote $3 to have it done. But my issue is. I know I will have to apply gesso to it. But I'm not sure what type I need. Hopefully when I go to art this week. I will be able to talk to, and find out what I need.

Since I don't have any art to share. But I thought I would share how I plan to re purpose the T.V dinner, and other packages. I'm hooking up to SUNDAY IN THE ART ROOM

Let have an conversation from LIZ BLOGS....It's time for the power companies to bury their power lines. Then they wouldn't be worried about them causing a fire during high winds. I hope the winds don't get too high for you. The new homes and such has buried power lines. But the issue to bury the power line is the cost, not to be able to access the power line. And the down time of power. But I do question the cost of wild fires when it comes to power line.

Well all my items came from amazon. Most of it was practical things. Like toilet paper and paper towels. Sure I got some other items.

Still going though the boxes under the stairs. Got a small box of things to take to the thrift store.

I post about Idaho politics and local ones as well. But we do have a beautiful little town, and area. I know this is six year old video, and things have changed. Hope you enjoy the walk around around the town of BONNERS FERRY

Today Is Tuesday, October 28, 2025: This Is What Happened.

 

Not sure why I feel off today. I been having a gnarling headache. I even skip my sewing class for wallet. I plan to do the next four steps tomorrow.

So most of the day I been doing brainless crap. A short time ago I went though one of my S.D cards and now I'm transferring the photos on this lap-top.

Had lunch at senior center, a roast pork, served with peaches and pares, mashed potatoes, with gravy, garlic bread, and roasted carrots.

Some conversation amazes me. At one table people was talking about the good ole day. And what wrong with younger generation. Which I find is totally fantasy. I'm born at tell end of the baby boomers.

As an individual. I didn't grow up in the ideal world. Sometime it was right down scary and horrible. I'm thankful there was more good days then bad.

I moved and ate with Nancy and Torin he served in the navy for 22 years. Nancy a little older than me.

She got her notice that their cutting out her snap benefits. She didn't get all that much. She told me the main reason she on the program. For energy assistance it was lot easier. But she wasn't sure if there will be help paying for heat, during the colder months. In the past we used energy assistance and it usually covered 3 to 6 months of heat. At this point it look like the funds for energy assistance is on the back burner. It could start up after the shut down. But the Maga regime has no issue of kicking the poor to curb.

Well Nancy got her Medicare advantage figured out. She ended up paying around a $100 a month. At first they quote her I believe it was $250 a month. Which cover less then before. 

Hopefully my brain is in gear. Here what on my list for tommorow.

1. Sew on wallet.

2. Go though the boxes under the dresser, and toss out trash and or put in the thrift store container.

3. Fill glue container

4. Ad for facebook yard sale, for firewood.

5. Amazon...order these items...shovel, 5 by 7 sleeve, art dauber, and a bras.

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 Monday, October 14, 2024: This Is What Happened.

I had fairly big plans for today, but I'm a little on the tired side. Even after the small hike Murphy and I took, my brain is not firing on all cylinders. I'm walking around like a zombie. I slept super hard. I'm still not totally awake. I was going to call Magic Jack and talk to customer care. Hopefully, I will be more alert.

I have been watching OUTSIDE ART on YouTube. And just maintaining the place. Oh, yes. I did some art also today.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Tuesday, August 13, 2024: This Is What Happened.

I'm starting off with Wiki-Art. In the search bar, I put my name, "Dora," and saw who came up. Well, I'm taking DORA BONEVA.

The other artists named Dora are Dora Carrington and Dora Marr, who was one of Pablo Picasso's partners.

I took yesterday, August 12, off. I went to Sandpoint and got some DVDs at the library down there.

The movies I got were LETTER FROM UNKNOWN WOMAN, 1966 VERSION ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and PRINCE OF TIDES. The last one I got was BRAVE NEW WORLD WITH LEONARD NIMOY.

They had cabbage rolls at the senior center. I was asked what they charge for a meal. They suggest a five-dollar donation. I'm not sure what the average donation for a meals is.

But one does get a full meal. We also got some peaches, mixed veggies, corn muffins, and to drink, we had milk and juice.

Tuesday and Friday, they have their FOOD GIVE AWAY. What Safeway was giving away was food that was about to expire. Or shortly past the date of expiration. Now, they are going to try to sell their older food at a discount. If it doesn't move, then they will donate it. I know Super One doesn't donate their stuff. I don't know what these stores do with their expired items. Dollar General, or Grocery Outlet. They're building a dollar tree or store. I don't know what their policy is for leftover items.

However, the good news is that some of the fair market animals were donated to the senior center.

Today, they were going to have a meeting with the board. One of their topics was whether guns should be allowed in the building.

At this time, I know only two people packed. And I have no idea who carries a gun in their purse or under something. Those places that put a sign not allowing guns in their business can get their liability insurance better than those who don't. I know only two businesses that have a sign in the doorway not allowing guns in their business. Sad, I don't know how it is enforced. And I'm not sure what difference it makes between allowing or not allowing guns in a building.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Friday, May 17, 2024: This Is What Happened.

 

Our primary is this coming Tuesday, May 21^st. To me the primary is more important than the general election here in Idaho. It mainly to stop the nut cases getting elected.

Had lunch at the senior center today. Chicken artichoke dish. It was really good. Got about 4 bags of food. It helps with the food bill.

Today we had a speaker who running for sheriff. I would like to see more candidates come and speak. I know there not enough time for candidates before the primary. But those who goes on to the general election. Murphy didn't like the ideal of the coming to speak at lunch time. He looked at as they're trapping there audience.

A short time ago. I thought of old friend. (Gene) I have no ideal of why start to think about him. So I went on to facebook and found out he had a page. Nothing was posted for sometime. I went and did internet search. And came up with obituary. Look like he died a couple of years ago. He died of LEWY BODY DEMENTIA. Which I never heard of.

I got married and had a family. And thought he did the same. But it looks like he never married. He continue to long haul truck drive. The most important part he was good hearted person. Always smiling. Maybe I will be lucky enough that he becomes one of my guides or stop in as a spirit. 

Did my morning walk. Still going to my 7^th power pole. In 15 days I will go up to the 8^th pole.

As many of you know I do Artist Trading Card, and I belong to a GROUP that trades art cards. A lady in West Virginia host a theme. This month it is dragons and mermaid. So I did up one of each and withfam self address envelope. She will pass them about. This is first time taking part in this swap. June theme will be beach. I've done some swaps with in this group.

I'm linking to FACE OFF.

Today Is Sunday, March 24, 2024: This Is What Happened.

Last night, I started to do some prep work on my accordion book. The surface is on the slick side, so I applied two coats of white acrylic and two coats of gesso. I have to say I'm not all that impressed with this brand. Sanding what I put gesso on fixed the issue.
Plus, I worked on some artist trading cards. I'm doing a bird series. I'm clueless about when I will have them done. Sometime this week, I will take another three artist trading cards to our local gallery, Tea Scarlet.

This morning, we had ricotta pancakes with ham. I exercised for 20 minutes, worked on the table. Once again it got out of control. Both Murphy and I did the laundry.
I had a leftover turkey burrito for lunch. For dinner, we will have pork chops. I need some clarification about what we will have with them.

This coming week, I have my physical therapy on Monday and Friday morning. Also, on Monday, I have my mental health therapist. Murphy and I will go to the Senior center on Tuesday for lunch. Wednesday, we have an appointment for the pick-up and about the plugs. On Friday, I plan to see Lolita and work on some artist trading cards.

By the way Qunella called. Since I will be in town. I will meet her for coffee at under the sun. I need up date my bullet journal.

Today Is Monday August 22 2022, This is what happen.

 

We have two paper here, an online 9B and the other the BONNERS FERRY HERALD, which is both on line and print. I send a list to both paper what was READ, at the read in. I got text message from admit of the Facebook group, who is trying to keep our library. Well they want off list “Gender Queer” Opinion time....This people need to be stood up to, we been cowering to these people way to long. But in past usually this part of North Idaho was pretty split down the middle. We never had to pick political party for our primary. Now we do and it would be foolish to be democrat. It better or wiser to be R.I.N.O (Republican In Name Only) So now we have loud mouth REDOUBT and most of them our bullies and like to intimated. Most people here went to vote and had really no reason why to be involved and nothing to be up in arms. Lot of us never had to deal with anything like the redoubts or radical militant groups.

They say I have middle road MILK ALLERGY, which I have to agree with. To much diary gives me the growlers. Stinky gas. I bet most of you didn't want this information.

I'm tired and my brain is dozing a bit, and I'm cutting it short to night.

Today Is Sunday February 20 2022, This Is What Happen

 

Usually on Sunday I take three comment left on my blog, usually I don't put previous Sunday, which I feel needs to be part of post. So possible I will do review from Sunday February 13^th. I took a short walk, half way down the road to where two of our neighbor lives at the end of the road.

I start my Monday post it about deep cleaning. Here three lines from it. This might give some of you an ideal of CHORE SERVICE. Since he lives in a subsidize housing, they might consider it the housing job to do the heavier items around the place. Although after I get done with my day at Regis I will have more news to share.

I just found out there is a possibility that the immersive showing of Vangogh, might be coming to Spokane. I know there  immersive art showing coming to Spokane, don't have date or place yet. Not sure what sort of building or theater needs to do a IMMERSIVE . It fairly new. The little I know about it, it come across to me as Star Trek Next Generation HOLODECK. I think this will be major change on how we learn. And treat different aspect of our lives.

Marie of ISLAND MUSING posted this comment on my blog...I love the trees against the landscape as you photographed...Thank you! I been watch this video on photograph. I took photography in high school and some of it was review. It was review. And nothing wrong with that. I hope to get chance to play around with sittings on my camera.

And the other comment I will using is also from Island Musing....If one like commericals, it would be easy to be entertain these days...It seem like most of our ads here in State is on life insurance or supplement insurance for medicare. It so confusing. When my husband was about ready to sign up for medicare. I told him to read it over carefully. I know few didn't read it over and lost I believe is there part B. Sometime if I'm I will go do a little something. I understand commercial helps pay the show.

Now for last comment came from BRAINS HOME...Glad you had good work day. The basket ball and hockey teams that US send to the Olympics are professional players here in United States, I never I understood that one....I don't get it either. These sure comes across as professional athletic. I did brief search on You Tube hoping I could see some video of other countries that isn't well known. No such luck.

I'm so ready for some days off, I so need it. I know this is will be my last year of working full time. I done personal care for over 20 years, no paid sick or vacation time. And for taking the time off. My clients could have me replace. Or even if they didn't like of what every. I could be dismissed. Confession time...I don't give rats patootie

Went though some clothing to see what degree of stain was on them. None, So So, and OMG

Today Is Thursday September 16 2021, This Is What Happen

 Today would of been my mother 98 birthday if she was still alive. 

Still my mind is in either one of these 4 places or maybe stages would be better term. Racing thoughts, depressing thoughts, blank mind, and normal mind. I did say normal. I couldn't say which one of these four will pop in. But last evening (Wednesday) my mind was total blank. I know no one mind is total blank. Most of day I would have to say most of the day I feel my mind was normal. But on way home I felt depress some what. And as I type this my mind is on racing thoughts, although it been more accelerated out. I haven't yet heard from the place where I will be seeing the therapist yet. They hired on new guy and I'm to be called this week. Well there one more day left in week, so if I don't hear from them by tomorrow by three. I will call and see what going on. 

Both Murphy and I would like go down on weekend day to see Bart, before his operation. 

Work been going ok. Did Laundry at both places today. And took Regis to his appointment and part of time I read book about letters between Virginia Woolf and Vita West. 

And yesterday when I came home from work, I left the lights on my cat and had dead battery this morning. 

I only did half of my exercise today and I don't want to wait to late to do them. So this is good time to do them.

Today Is Sunday February 28 2021, This Is What Happen

 My mid to upper back hurt, took some over counter medicine to see if it knocks down the pain. I tried a hot bath. At this point it not pulling in down much. 

Paid off rest of bills. And finish up weeks in march in bullet journal. I haven't put any goals of anything or type. I'm sure pain will go away or level out. It driving me some what nuts, trying to figure out what I'll be doing this up coming week. I'm sure I will find something productive.

Six of March here in Idaho there having a mask burning. Not going! Even our community is having one. Hubby and I went to store, and I stay out in car. As he shopped. Low number of mask wearers. But clueless how well inoculation or not.

Since I had both of my shots, and last one was about three weeks ago. I drove to Spokane to see my youngest son Bart and his wife Molly and their two girls Claudia and Wendy. It been just over six months since I seen them. How big there getting. Wendy was still pretty much a baby, not much any more. Claudia is oldest Grandchild. She might be on the autism spectrum. They will know by end of week. They got her in some type of thearpy. They said the type put I don't recall the name. 

My oldest son Sawyer and his wife Betty might be up around Easter. There next one is due in Mid May. I'm floating with ideal of going down in end of April. Or first part of June. One thing I want to do is fly down with out tell my oldest son, and get uber driver to take me to there home. Ring door bell and say "I'm here" See my oldest one doesn't plan. It something he would do just show up.

I been thinking and know I need to be social. I question my self about my social well being. I was trying figure out what sort of social activity I might want or feel it would benfit me and or my community. I definitely don't want to belong to any hate group. I'm thinking of possible getting involved more with local art and quilt group. Possible even volunteering a little time at local museum. Well this is when I retire.

Today Is Monday February 22 2021, This Is What Happen

 Yesterday after blogging and also yesterday post was on long side. I have three more animal orcale cards to share. 

But hubby and I took quick drive out the game reserve. Sometime we need to change the scence around us. Then he quickly ran into the store and got a few items. I just wait in rig. Don't know why I ask I was wondering about mask. Never seen over 50% of our local population have mask on. As far as his own observation only he and anther person had mask on. Clerk that check him out didn't have one on either. It Sunday and God protects you more Sunday, that is correct.

Today I seem to be stuggling with depression, how I'm feeling. I feel like calling my employer and quitting. I'm just plain burn out from my job. But I know better then to do thing in haste and make any major decision when one under the weather. It shall past, and I can still mange and function. 

I know this might come around as being ungrateful and little on envy side. I should be right down thankful. But my client get all these services and lot of them ends up hindering them. It not set up to get them more on there own. Statement time...I do like my pay check. But here the thing this is how I look at it. If I accidently or purposely spilled something on floor, no one is going to come and clean it up. If I didn't get broom out and dust pan it would just set there. Any other part of my life physical, mental, and emotional. Had to get dust pan and broom clean up, or what every tool I need to fix it and move on. 

During the news I been binding up fabric strips so I can continue on with crochet rag rug. 

Not sure what right and left means when to spirit world.It has something to do with totom. 

Left was the wolf. And I'm going to take three key words and play with them Loyalty, Enduring, and Cooperation. To me loyalty and honesty goes to gether. If you don't have both you can't have either. Not saying eveything goes as I want it or it should. But cooperation of all parties things moves along a lot smoother. Enduring is pretty powerful and some has easier time enduring what toss at them. As for contrary of this card. Is someone influencing you to leave your path. I would say at present time burn out from work is. But making major choice in life when your under the weather can end up being worst in long run.

Right was the raccoon. And going use three keywords for this card. Curious, Shy, and Secert. There so much world I mainly want to experince, sure doesn't sound much like depressed person would be wanting to do. I would use word shy but I need certain percentage of my life as me time. I believe it call intervert. Since blogging came into my life. All can read my secert. I gues one call it my dairy. Dear Diary______________________-. Now for Contrary Have you been tempted to steel or decieve. If I have I don't see it. And I'm a very honest person. 

This last animal spirit card for the time being. Nothing or don't see anything coming rest of month, a lease. This I drew for what call "you" Three key words is good luck, Heighten Sences, and Patience. I don't think I have any more luck then any one else in world. Or heighten sences. But I learn to go with flow, and work with those around me. Fighting with life just ends up being frustrating. Contrary is "Do you feel like pulling into your shell" The direct answer would be yes. I just don't want to go to work. I couldn't ask for better clients. 

Weigh in and well being Tomorrow
