I made the first trip to a new grocery store, Fred Meyer. Went up and down the aisles to see what’s up with them. Got a member card. My wallet is loaded with new cards for new and exotic places. Got cat treats and I decided I’m going to make butterscotch pudding for Thanksgiving, because I really like it. Thinking of putting it in a pie crust. ( Read more... ) -

I’ve had to speak to a few people around here, neighbors and such, (I am constitutionally not made to talk to people) and the question they always ask, after establishing our names, is: you have relatives up here? As though they are securing the next of kin they’ll have to reach when they find your supine body laid out. Is this a regular ( Read more... ) -

I got a haircut. It's a boy cut, the kind a 12 yr old gets for school picture day. I am neat in the head.
I found and went into Trader Joe's. It was very busy and probably will be until after the holidays. Impulse buying happened. -

I’ve gotten out some of the Christmas decorations to cheer myself up. This year I have plenty of room to spread them around. One of the cats likes to dive bomb the shelf they’re on and grab one or two to carry around. They’re just things I’ve collected over the years, couldn’t tell you where from.

The bookcase arrangement isn’t elegant but everything is off the floor and couch. Even some of the cook/bakery books are on the shelves and that table is cleared ( Read more... ) -

I found my radio station. It’s listener supported but all music, not news. There’s a lot of young, white boys telling us how sad they are, but there’s also special programs with big band or blues or soul, if only I remember when they’re on ( Read more... ) -

I got my ballot! At least I can vote for Kamala; I have to study on the propositions. I usually look who’s for and who’s against ( Read more... ) -

The previous owners left some clothes hangers with crocheted,,,coverings (I guess you’d call it). They’re hanging in the closet. I found out the cats like them, like to push one around the floor in wild abandon. How they got at any is a mystery. I hope I dropped one on the floor and not that the cats scaled themselves up to the hanging bar and set ( Read more... )
