This for now is last photo of our trip to greenwood graveyard in spokane. The other ones will be video clip and I have to use youtube. I wonder why a robe or blanket draped over. My question is symbolic of it.

Work day was quite. Nothing new and usual I am happy with that. After Regis Appointment, he and I drove over to Riverside and looked at the local fairground parking lot. It was about half full and as we looked across the way, look like nearly no one had a mask. Like I said yesterday I'm not attending and I feel safer in my neighboring state of Washington.

I talk to Qunella a short while ago and we talked about her upcoming cataract procedure. Well afterward she stop in at our local meat market. Well she like me and other small percentage who wears a mask. And they made fun of her wearing a mask. 

She believes there Trump supporters. I also guess the same. But I'm fairly sure a lot of people in my area going to be disappointed on election, about Trump not getting a second term.  

Hubby and I briefly talked about what we would like to do once we retire. He into science and thought a good quality microscope which is fine. I like to look at textures, shapes and such. For myself I suggested  it would be cool to go and see some art exhibits.

Today Is Wednesday August 12 2020, This Is What Happen

 The hardest part for me on blogging what to start with first. Regis and I went ghost hunting at Greenwood and Mt Nero graveyard. Well I am person who believe we are surrounded by all sort of energies. We call them whatever we want.  Spirits to me comes in diverse, just like us mortal humans.

Now I will share some photos and did get some video, but for some reason I can't load them until my blog. Look like I am going to directly though you tube. Confession time...I wish we/I invited Liz. See I thought she was going to get ready to go down to Utah, tomorrow. And she would want to get ready. Well I like to return in October and include Liz. Why October the price of going to Spokane. Plus the first part would be better because of weather. Usual the later part of October it wet and raining. Two best time to ghost or spirit hunt is first of May or end of Oct. 

 

Have to say the older tombstone had some pretty interesting markings. I know the marking usual meaning something. Like phlox could possible mean unity. Plus I am not even sure if those smaller flowers are phlox.

 

We stop a few minutes at Jewish graveyard, less 2 acres. Just google "Spokane Jewish population" and it .5 percent. And Spokane county population is a little over a half million people.

Main thing I notice is there markers are generally not as fancy. Everyone one had  a PEBBLES on them. I seen graves with pebbles in the regular graveyard never notice any. And usual leaving COINS is usual hook with military.

More photos and such coming up this week. 

We stop in at B&B hobbies and Regis I believe he picked up 3 or 4 models. I got two rockets and the engines, and wadding to launch them. When boys was young we did rocket and enjoyed them.

Stop at Northtown mall and went into couple of novelty stores. Neither one of bought anything there.

Well it only can be wild or an education guess. Murphy blood pressure was sort of all over place. Well my best guess found out he didn't take his medication correctly. Right after he eats or not long after his blood pressure drops. I don't think it dangerously low but lower than it should be.

I also have blood pressure issues. I should be taking my blood pressure more than I do. Ok one time I was in store and they had one of those blood pressure machine. So I stuck my arm in cuff and push the button. Well it read so low and actual if my blood pressure was that low they would been no way I could of even came close to operating a blood pressure machine. 

I know he worries about me catching covid. Completely understand his worries and fears. I've notice that a small percentage of our community takes this serious. I am no  wiz but I understand basic BIOLOGY , VIROLOGIST and ALGORITHM Plus I am long ways from doctorate in any field.

I felt a lot safer in stores in Spokane only seen one or so without a mask. Plus they stayed there social distance. 

My community I real don't feel safe from the covid, lack of mask wearers. Let me say in last week or so more people having them on.

I thought it would be wise to cancel our county fair. Well they didn't. Plain and simple I am not going. If our community start out on better foot with this covid. I would of entry a few things and put my mask and went. Not this year.

Murphy called up his brother Earl. I wasn't home but the conversation was a positive one. They haven't spoken for ages. I'm glad it went well. Plus hubby had dishes done, picked up the house and trim blossom off the tomatoes

Today Is Tuesday August 8 2020, This Is What Happen

 I start once again to draw something that related to terms and meaning of charity, community, string attached and or inequality. I was advise or suggested that I start with aisle. Getting the depth is tricky. This drawing been in my mind for ages or ok my third eye.

It been a while since had a dream I could recall. I found this old photo of about 5 to 8 naked boys I would guess from ages of 11 to 14 years old. Super thin not filled out and two of these boys in this picture was my son. It was all in good taste. The room I would guess is possible sauna. It had wet cement floors, a wooden bench and wooden walls. The photo was in a frame that you open like a book, off white in color. For reason my sons didn't want to say anything to their wife about this photo.

Hubby been reading about sleep hygiene. I guess as we age we worry or our health become more important to us.

Work went ok. Liz had the same clothes on. I had remind her she had same clothing for a while. I told her gentle "I like to see a new fashion statement, even if turn your clothes wrong side out" She heading to Utah with her son and his family. She ask me what I want from Utah I said find me some cotton fabric out of thrift store. I real don't need anything.

I figure with all project I need and want to do. I need to live well into my upper 80's After work I real don't do much. 

Been promising I would take Regis ghost hunting and I believe in spirits is among us. Excuse the pun but graveyards. Opinion time...They're the worst place to hunt and look for ghost cemeteries are just plain dead. Only reason they would be hanging around is there so attach to wear their body or ashes was put to rest. There plenty of lore to GREENWOOD. Plus I can get some steps in. I know Regis want to stop briefly at B&B HOBBIES Actual I want to stop in at ART SAVAGE but there not open. But hoping to a lease hit one thrift store.

Murphy did some canning of raspberries and I think he going to make some pickle beets.

Today Is Monday August 10 2020, This Is What Happen

 Not sure what should blog about. Nothing on my mind or it just mainly blank. My stress is leading to depression, although I can go through the motion of functioning. I did give my insurance a call about me getting therapy. Hubby and I are on different insurance. So marriage counseling is out. But couple counseling is in. There a few hoops I would have to go through if I decided. Well I might as well tell you the hoops. First thing I need to get a refruel from my general doctor. I can go to so my section with liaison therapist and then the therapist can send me to a regular psychiatrist. To see if I have mental illness or a personality disorder. If I come up with one of these I can have more counseling. The only people who possible don't have a personality disorder is someone who grew up Cleavers family from show Leave it to Beaver.

As for my last post I thought it would be fair to answer some question here or reply to the comments from Saturday the 8th post.

I was born here in Bonners Ferry grew up in Spokane. I've alway had interested in variety of  culture and things. As I just mention I like learning about all sort of things and I would love to attend a jewish service and closes on would be in Spokane. My husband has less 1% jewish in him and me 0.  But I know I have to wait until covid is done. I doubt we will leave this area right after retirement. We can drive to area with art and culture. Sandpoint would be closes one. Our house is paid and hopefully Trump is gone. 

Over on facebook I ask if anyone who plan to retire in next five years and what there plans. My answer...There a lot of incertains with our social security ( Trump want to mess with payroll tax) I have small I.R.A (Individual Retirement Account) but my monthly payment as best I can figure less than $1,000 a month. I am 60 and plan draw between 63 and 65...As being bored I can think of 100 and 1 project both creative and non. 

Today Is Saturday August 8 2020. This Is What Happen

Yesterday I was tired. I try to make my client life a little better. Yesterday I took Regis to Spokane. He is into doing model spaceship and ufo. Me personally when the boys was younger we did model rockets and  launch them. Our first store was going to be a model train store and we couldn't find it. He was looking for some N SCALE model train. It was for some of his diorama. Then we went up to B B HOBBIES and he found some rocket and believe godzilla. I didn't find anything that grab me. Then we stop at HOBBY TOWN and I believe Regis got few items and I got a rocket launcher. Well in Priest River we stop at the Priest River Community Thrift Store.

Me and my fabric. One of package I thought it was bundle of fabric, it wasn't. I just briefly look though the craft section. And there was a tote full of fabric. Well we didn't stay in there long. Only part of their customers had mask on and none of the staff did.  No plexiglass by the cashier either. Well if it wasn't for covid I would gave a four star. I only gave it a three star it was pretty crowd and not sure what or how they feel covid either. Other then that it had great prices, clean, organized, and wide selection of items.

Hubby and I talk about possible selling and moving. What we want a community. His thing is mainly the mountains. For me it would be diversity. Well there mountains here. But as for diversity it could be better. There more we would like in a community. I know we won't be getting everything on our list.

Hubby and I would like visit a Jewish Service and the closes temple or synagogue is in Spokane. I was surprised they was four different ones. Not sure what difference are....CEE of SPOKANE, BTof SPOKANE, C of SPOKANE and CH of Spokane. Well Washington has lot tighter range on covid. You just don't go into a store without a mask. 

Doing better feel less emotional drain. Actual in my weight I been pretty much the same. Even had a chance did little organization in place. Got all the bills paid, except the credit card.

Today Is Thursday August 6 2020, This Is What Happen

I decided it was my turn to share a story from my childhood. As many of you know my given name is Dora, and at that time my name related to the character DUMB DORA and even some of the teacher used my name against me.

Confession time...I would like to do a diorama but it gives me some the terrors. 

In 4th or 5th grade for art project we did at home we did a diorama. Mine was going to be a canoe by river scene. 

I put a lot of time and effort in it. My parents had birch rounds to burn in fireplace, and took the bark and made a canoe out of it. Took some of my mom heavier thread from her sewing. I took piece of kindling and some type clay and make axe and leaned it up against the stump that was made out of brown construction paper. Then had a little fire scene. With river and got some painted some glue down with sand.

For someone who was in grade school it came out excellent. But the teacher told me I wasn't smart or good enough. Plus called my parents up about it. My mother told them I did the project.

I fought all my life about my name. It didn't happen just that one time. I find more difficult and have a hard time understanding why adult behave this way.  More than my peers. 

 I found it was lot easier and safer to play not all that bright. 

 To this day I have horrible fear being falsely accused. Even if I was proven  not guilty. The ideal of it bothers me to no end.

Now people ask me if I was name after DORA THE EXPLORER actual I was name after two of my great grandma. 

I was real careful what I name my sons. There a part of me like a lot of things I would love to do a diorama 

Still feel a little emotional exhaust although a lot better. Still going to work and haven't done anything creative. 

Even if just organizing I am hoping I can start moving that way. 

Been working on some family history and found out there possible I have cousin that lives in Spokane only meant her few times. Learn her husband pass away two years ago and she quite the artist.

Today Is Wednesday August 5 2020, This Is What Happen

Not sure how our childhood affect both Murphy and I. Gee I wouldn't want to say my childhood was awful or great.  

With Murphy stop smoking pot and I am far from a train medical person. But see when my husband grew up he slept with knife under his bed. His parents fought some time until 4 in the morning.

He thought his dad was going to kill the entire family. The main goal was to protect his new baby brother at that time.

He talk to therapist and didn't have the proper chance for his brain to he health. Both his and my brain has trouble shutting down. 

Confession time...I get edgy when my thoughts are quite. I feel lost. 

His mom used to say "quite think or you will be in prison" and somehow he got introduced to marijuana. His brain settle down. After 50 years of smoking and now the smoke brings his blood pressure and pulse to dangerous level.

He always worked and he honestly loved working with tree. Neither one of us is stupid. Not trying to be braggadocious. From time Reagan was president and war on drugs it was quite popular to test the American Worker. So there was limited places Murphy could work. The tree farm was one of them. 

If it wasn't for the pot he would of done something real dangerous. 

He suffers from General Anxiety Disorder and the doctor thought because of his age shouldn't be on viserell and put him on LEXAPRO    

I feel emotional exhausted. I want to do things but I'm having trouble making decisions. Glad there no big choices to be made. This weekend I will pay off bills.

We sold our property on bench and today we got entire payment. So look like our income is not quite $2,197 a month.

Today Is Tuesday August 4 2020, This Is Happen

It been a while since I saw my friend Laliotia. In winter she stays down in North Bend Oregon and she has property up what is call Camp nine. And she want to sell some of her property. See she is 75 years old and she has heart disease. Not sure if 40% is still good or the other way around.

Well she concerned about her health and can understand why such low mask wearers in area.

If more people had mask, over 75% 

I tried to do a mask and it was messed up. Sewed it together wrong. 

Murphy went to the doctor they give him some Trazodone for sleep and Vistaril. Well there treating it as withdraw anxiety.  

In two weeks he goes back to the doctor.

Hopeful in next few days I get a chance to have me time. I feel overwhelmed. Might sound crazy I need  time for my own thoughts. I am a INFJ main thing I need to recharge. 

Looking to get a T-Shirt with using the word "Pejorative"

Today Is Monday August 3 2020, This Is What Happen

I real don't do that many video, do to lack of time. And including I start with blogging, we then had dial up. 

I decided in this post I will continue about what was comment.

We have nice raspberries patch and to the north of it. I would love to put in a few blueberries and strawberries. We grown strawberries.

The main reason my husband is giving dope. Every Time he smoked his blood pressure and pulse went up. I don't think he really wants to give it up, but with making his heart race and blood pressure go way up. Not a good thing.

One thing pagan don't do is usual don't shun. And should be super careful about casting curses. Rule number one on casting curses. They can come back and bite you the hinny. Well I left the local rant and rave page over on facebook. Best way to explain them was bunch middle or Jr high bullies. I put myself on timeout. Or as some may say there being shun.  If I go back it will be after the election. 

With Trump wanting to delay the election til Covid. I believe it ruin his chance of getting reelected. I'm waiting to watch him toss a tantrum. 

The dream dabbling was real interesting. As pagan we keep track of dream and we discuss them and analyze each other. They do it once month.

My SECOND video of the month and I will two more. So a total of four.

Weigh in and coffee with my friend Qunella 

Today Is Sunday August 2 2020, This Is What Happen

It been quite day. Until I went on facebook and defended on something my husband and I was involved in. I will admit we had guilt. So did the other party. Now looking back I should of just ignore it. In the morning I will delete my part of conversation and take a break from our local rant and rave page. I should know better trying to have a conversation with an area who is Trump supporter. 

So true hindsight is so much better then front sight.

Picked some raspberries. Water the garden. 

We both drew our weekly oracle card or wisdom card. Mind was on communication and if anyone said communication was easy. Mostly on social media. I guess their not on it.....It lot safe to communicated through a creative outlet.

Murphy drew emergence since recently he stop smoking marijuana, there been some both positive and negativism in our adventure.

The negative part of him not smoking pot, he more aggressive and he acts before he thinks. We drove by someone place way North of Bonners Ferry a register sex offender. As we were driving by he flipped him off (Middle finger) and the guy wasn't out in his yard.

A truck from Canada was following us and he thought he flipped him off. Of crouse thinking it was directed at him. 

He did bring this behavior up with the therapist. Tuesday he goes into the regular doctor. We need to follow medicare protocol. Or either like banging your head against a brick wall. Fighting city hall.

For some reason he seems less negative. He is a pessimist and I'm the optimist.

Not excusing my husband behavior.   

This hasn't been easy and feel lot better letting it out, even if it on blog.

A pagan group out of Spokane once month has a thing called "Dream Dabbling" first time on zoom. I talked briefly about my train dream, and it was pretty much a consensus that I been on the same ole track and diversion of some type would be good for me..

Anther one brought up he had two earwig coming out of his jaw area. 

I believe they was a little over half dozen of us on dream dabble.

Calorie count over by quite a bit. Need more water and off to work tomorrow

July Report 2020

First time doing a VIDEO of monthly report. And I did get another mask done. Had a mask like this one before and left it some place.The only thing this one I sewed in a groceries tie thing, to fit better around the nose. Glad to see more people having mask on, in the local community.
