It only took four tries to get here today....Monday, October 19th...A Chilly but Sunny day in Maine.

 Sun coming up.......somewhere in Maine.

I sorted thru the channels and found nothing of interest to watch...so then I sorted thru my bookcase but wasn't in the mood for reading.   So FOOTBALL.  Some very very interesting games....

Sunday Pizza was most excellent as well.  

I might need to start wearing a scarf around my neck- so I stay warm...the tendons in my neck are stiff and the neck bones make cracking sounds....getting old.

Yesterday I was hunting in the bookcase for something to read and forgot I had library books on the shelf. Son might be correct...my Attention Span. is not what it used to be. Books on the shelf on actually GOOD ONES.  Books being held at the Library for pick up are also very good ones.  I can tuck the baseball one back in the bookcase.

That's all for now....I discovered I do not have a tub filled with the nice batting I like... .... Son went up and found batting...not my usual but........it's how quilting began...use what you have. And be glad you have something.

Daily Notes for Sunday October 18th. Happy Birthday Bill.

 I cut out a recipe for Crock Pot Chili.  After reading the comments I decided I wasn't ever going to try making it.  Lots of cans.  Two kinds of beans etc.  Several comments as to why they used a crock pot..... the New York Times recipes are always wildly commented on...no one agrees on any thing.

I then watched the Saturday Cooking Shows....not going to make any of that either.  I had peanut butter on white bread instead.

I sorted thru the Christmas Movie LineUp on Hallmark....I keep looking for the ONE Hallmark Christmas Movie I adore...I cannot find it.  I ended up watching a few hours of Storage Wars. And then Swiffered Up all the white old lady hair that covers all the floors these days.... It's falling out....but it's curling.

I sorted thru books to find a really GOOD one to read....And just now realized the one I chose is a hot mess...so it's goes back and another replaces it.  Tomorrow is Library Day...I have quite a few holds...

I selected Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey....  she usually writes three books in a set.

Well, Football is on today and after that Football Pizza....  A full day of entertainment.  ZERO Chili.

Daily Notes-- October 17th..Sunshine here in Maine but only 49 degrees.

 Rangely Maine.  I don't think I've ever been there.  

Telling people you ARE a Lawyer even if you were NOT able to pass the bar??????  These are Trump's People...... Perhaps she could now TRY to become a Bitcoin Saleswoman????  Or sell Pillows for the Pillow Guy?????

Today's most important job (for ME) is choosing a book to read.. off the library book shelf or out of the big German cupboard. (which is packed FULL of books.). My very own Retirement Account.  There are books waiting at the Library but..they have to wait till Monday...

I received a post card in the mail telling me I am above average in my stellar Voting Record. I wish they had sent a pin I could wear on my coat....

And another piece of mail cancelled my Medicare Provider Account. Son is hoping he can find me another provider. 

Another piece of mail was almost hilarious....my one share of stock (from my dad) is suddenly many many more shares...  They even send me a LARGE dividend check...... some one somewhere has gone insane.  It would cover the Medicare Payments... for a year or two.

Other news is that even though the Library knew the present Director was leaving in October of this year.. a YEAR AGO...... they are scheduling interviews this month for a new Director..  And this month is half over.  I think whomever they chose decided it was "not a great job for them"......and declined recently. And finding new choices is not going well.  Are we surprised???? No.

Or perhaps they are following Trump Hiring Rules????  Hired someone who was not qualified as a Librarian?   Well..I have little else to report.  Homemade Vegetable Soup will be served for Lunch... There's plenty if you happen to be walking past the house.......and not trying to scam me with house repair deals??????  Son swept the acorns  off the driveway....so walking is safe right now.

Daily Notes for Friday October 16th.... A Cloudy Damp (wet) day here in Maine.

 In the past when I had a big Black Lab to walk...this is where we went.  Onto the Town Commons.

Those many many days are in the past now....I could NOT do that walk...I would WANT to do the walk but..not far into it I would be having trouble breathing....that's how I'll die- not being able to breathe. So I take it easy these days..... enjoying each day..... happy to be able to breathe.  I am repeating myself...

The Couch.  A Good Book.  A nice warm cup of vegetable soup- homemade. Wool socks and a Down Lap Quilt.  The content of my cable provider is quite dismal.  Even Hallmark disappoints...even though Hallmark had Hudson from Hudson and Rex in one of its lame "romances" yesterday.   I almost watched ..but remembered I don't care for Hallmark this year...  I wanted  Storage Wars...

So...Zero Sunshine for Maine Today....we needed this RAIN in the Summer not now.  But the lawn is enjoying the moisture...the news of the School Shooting was so very very depressing- Five Dead (at least that is what the news reported..).  I recalled another similar shooting.....it actually felt like a "repeat" when the Principal reported she was driving from Portland to the school...I recalled that exact thing happening the last time.

I have a set time to be ready to go grocery shopping....no Library....just Groceries.  What do I want to eat next week????????  When the Soup is gone.   I don't know.
