Welcome to another Campfire of Megan and Carol. We are doing a winter Campfire 2025. |
[Introduction]  Welcome to another Campfire of Morticia Wednesday Megan Rose   and ♥OctOGre tHiNg♥   Autumn Winter Heart Reflections. A period of contemplation and introspection that occurs as the year winds down and colder months approach. The warmth of a hearth, changes in nature, reflections and life's changes. Autumn leaves change colors. The hearth gives out inner warmth. We reflect and have hopes and dreams. Halloween, Thanksgiving. We are into that season.  Carol and I are back for another Campfire. We love Downton Abbey, The Royals, we talk about our hopes and dreams, what is new in our life and we try to add fun to this Campfire. we enjoy remembering what happen in the past year and years. We hope the world will be better. We would love to hear from you.

| Looks like your 24TH WDC Anniversary went well. Congrats. The start of a new Campfire. Autumn. Going into winter. It is 80 some Degrees and it is September. It gets down to 50 Degrees at night. We had fog early this morning. We had mist yesterday. When winter hits, we will know it. I vacuumed today. I need to fold up clothes. There is a football game in Ireland. That seems unusual. Ray is busy in his shop. That makes him happy. Bella  had lunch. I think she is glad that I didn't have to stay at the hospital. Me, too.Everyone was wearing Jane Austen clothes in England. That would have been nice to see. I would have been trying to find Darcy. Colin Firth. I'm here. He was Darcy. Maybe I will watch Pride and Prejudice this weekend. I have been doing a few reviews. I am watching my soaps. I will be glad to see the leaves change color. We have a road by us and the leaves are beautiful when they change colors. There are woods and just 2 houses down that road. I hear the US Government may be shutting down. Like again? Michigan government was going to shut down but decided not to. They worked things out. Survivor started again. I would hate to be the first one voted off. Thanks for doing another Campfire. I hope good things will happen for all of us. I hope we all find happiness. Praying for better days. |
| Hi on Saturday. September 27, 2025. It seems to be a rainy Saturday in early autumn. Leaves are coming down now. Thank you very much for inviting me to another lovely campfire. I look forward writing in our campfires every day. Sometimes, I go back and look at all that has happened over time. It ends up being quite a long story of our lives. Give Miss Bella Kitty my new campfire regards!   Yesterday, I went to the grocery store that I prefer. That was pretty much all that I did. Since it's raining and a Saturday, I most likely will stay home. My brother is up in DC having the internment for my Uncle at the church there early this afternoon. Rascal is going with him. He did not want to drive all the way here and get me, which I understand fully. I will say some prayers for my Uncle, who passed in March. He was 97. This is his second and final service. He wanted to be in this church in DC so he bought a niche there a long time ago. But he died in NY so he had a service up there and now today the final one in Washington, D.C. My brother went up and got the ashes over the summer and now they have final rest in the church. It is not far from where Tom is at Arlington. My Uncle was very nice to Tom when Tom was sick with cancer. He would call Tom and encourage him. I cleaned some yesterday. Some of the floors and one bathroom a little bit. Royal Family. I might watch The Crown again on Netflix. I really enjoyed all the ceremonies when Trump visited there, and seeing Windsor Castle was amazing. I hear more bad stuff is coming about Fergie, but I think they are using her to change the subject on some of the others. Corgis are probably nicer than most of the people she deals with. The Queen liked her. I trust Queen Elizabeth's judgment. I hope Trump can end those wars this autumn. Wouldn't that be nice for the world, going into Christmas? I hope Downton Abbey The Grand Finale is available soon on amazon. I am kind of looking forward to seeing it. I wasn't sure I wanted to, without Tom, but now I think it would perk me up like The Gilded Age did. Thank you again for all the birthday surprises for my 24 years on the site! I am very grateful for our friendship and all the fun we have here together!! Have a nice start to the weekend and get plenty of rest!!   |
| I got up late. Ray went to Mom's house with his brother to take care of things there. He took his tractor. I hope he will be alright. At least his brother is with him. We ordered a new window for Mom's bathroom. I am not doing any more repairs. We are selling the house as is. I hope October will be a good month. I have had my share of bad things. I am not getting any more Xrays. I think I have had plenty. There shouldn't be anything else wrong with me. Fergie. Now, she is a target. Harry wants everyone to go down with him. He and Lady Wortless caused their own problems. Sad. What are Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana thinking if they could see what is happening? I like Corgis better then people. I like all animals more then people. Animals love me. I once charmed a lion at the zoo. Horses run up to me to meet me. I love them, too. Anyway. I hope things improve with the Royals. I hope things go well for your brother. Seems like he is busy with things. Seems like he likes to travel. I hope Trump gets Putin to back off. What is his deal? He isn't going to Heaven with his attitude. Sad really. The war in the Middle East. Not much about that anymore. I am doing dishes. Ray just got home. I have things to do. No rain  for us for awhile. I am watching Hudson and Rex. I am going to watch another Gunsmoke movie. I don't like Gunsmoke but I love the movies and James Arness. I liked Kitty and Doc.Glad you had a good site Anniversary. I always wish good things for you. Have a good weekend. Thanks for all you do. Enjoy our new Campfire. I always like starting new Campfires. Hoping and praying for better days. Later |
| Hi on Sunday. It is September 28, 2025. I hope it is a good day for you and you are resting up nice this weekend. Wave hello to Miss Bella for me!  I went to church and I drove us. I didn't get much sleep last night. When I came home, I turned on the TV downstairs and watched a video on Ireland on you tube. I got very sleepy. But now I am sort of awake, but still sleepy. It rained hard in the early part of the night, but now the sun is shining. I finished the video on Ireland and it rolled over to one on Scotland. I might watch the rest of it later on. Both videos were recent and lovely. Ireland had areas I am familiar with from going there with Tom Brought back nice memories. The yard guy came yesterday. He wants to kill my grass, than aereate then spread grass seed. I told him I wouldn't be mad if he kills it too much. I just want the leaves in the back yard chopped up. He looked like he was having some difficulty with his truck, then he left. I don't like to bug him too much. He knows about yards better than I do. My brother is on his way home today. His pup went to the service for my Uncle. My brother said the Minister loved Rascal. I hope that the wars can be ended before the holidays. Now they are saying that the Democrats want to shut down the government, but if they do a lot of government workers will get fired. I'm not sure how it works with what they are doing. It doesn't seem like Putin wants peace. I wish he would want it for his people. Royal Family. I saw a thing about Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Tindal. She is beautiful and she loves horses. Charles should think about replacing Harry with Zara and making her a Princess. He could do it if he wants to. Her husband, Mike Tindal, is a sports guy who is well known in England. One time, when Harry was there, Mike Tindal looked like he wanted to punch Harry in the nose. So, he seems sensible. Zara seems to love her Uncle Charles. She is a LOT prettier than Harry's wife. And she loves animals. Not much is happening here. I am still tired, but at least I am able to write now. Take care of yourself and get a lot of rest today! |
| I didn't go to Church. I wish I didn't have to go so early to get a parking space. I am trying to feel better. I mopped floors yesterday. I cleaned the kitchen this morning. I haven't heard any more news about the hurricane. I hope everyone will be safe. My sister lives in Florida. We have 4 entries for the Jane Austen Writing Contest. If we get 5, we can give out First Place. Your brother keeps busy. I hope the puppy likes to travel. I guess I didn't think of Princess Anne having kids. She seems to stay out of things. I bet Anne and her kids are unhappy with Harry. Sad. He should have married someone else. I guess all families have problems. I don't say much but I still miss Mom. I know she is in Heaven. I hope to get there someday. 80 some Degrees. The weather will be like this and then it will get cold and we will skip autumn it seems. I hope not. I love autumn. I heard the government may shut down. What does it accomplish? They do this every 2 years it seems or less. I wish the government was happy and the world was, too. Bella has been happy today. She plays and takes a nap. She loves lying behind the curtains.I don't have much to say. Wishing you a good week. I am always thinking of you. Thanks for all you do . Later. |
| Hi on Monday. It is September 29, 2025. I hope you feel better and better and are taking it as easy as possible to get fully recovered. I know it is hard times missing your mom, in addition to not feeling well. Some days are more challenging than others as time goes on. Give my love to Miss Bella! I don't know whether the government will shut down or not. I hope people are not hurt who have nothing to do with anything. That's the way this stuff sometimes ends up, with innocent people hurt by actions of politicians and the media. I don't have a lot of energy to do much now. Maybe that will get better as the season goes on. I see a lot of things on youtube. People put things up that will follow them their whole lives. It's kind of an amazing thing to witness. People revealing their worst sides for the world to see. I sort of think that the things that are in the news at the moment aren't the real stories about what is going on. The wars continue. I hope they get settled and peace comes to Ukraine and Gaza. People attacking churches in this country seems to be getting worse. Royal Family. Fergie is the one they pick on now. Look away from Harry to Fergie. But the Queen gave her corgis to Fergie, not Harry. So, I'm not sure I'm buying that Fergie is the problem all of a sudden after 40 years. I choose to look at what the Queen did and said, not what the ones now do and say. They don't seem to make much sense. But they are an interesting group. I like the corgis better than the people and as far as I know they are still trusted to Fergie. But what was she doing with that awful American guy. Well, he was friends with all of them is the answer. Why do all the stinkers have to be Americans. Oh well. I hope that things become clearer over time. Does that ever happen? Take care of yourself and be sure and get plenty of rest! |
| I have had a busy day. My cousin came over and did my hair. It needed a dye job. I am red like always. We went to CVS. I got things I needed. We went to Home Goods Store. I got a plush Wednesday Doll and a Dutton Ranch Coffee Mug. It is blue and pretty. I wanted to get my Vitamin B12 Shot today. The Doctor is on vacation and only one staff member is there and she is the receptionist. I will go back Wednesday or later this week. I guess it is pick on Fergie Month. Sad really. The Royals are always in the spot light. Harry and Meghan think of ways to be noticed. Maybe someday, things will die down when everyone ignores them. I am trying to figure out what the hurricane will do. I guess it is still out to sea. Bella {{e:Cat} was sure curious about my hair getting done. She jumped on the chairs and watched me and my cousin. It was 85 Degrees. It doesn't feel like the end of September. I want fall temperatures. I got up late and didn't watch any news. I didn't watch the noon news. I was busy. That was my day. I guess I am feeling good. Ray was in the shop all morning. I wasn't home much. I need to have supper. We didn't go out for lunch. Hopefully, I am done with Doctors until I see my Doctor next week. Have a good day and week. Thanks for all you do. |
| Hi on Tuesday. It is September 30, 2025, the last day of September. I hope you are recovering good and continue to feel better and better. Give Miss Bella Kitty a hug from me! It is raining here, but the hurricane seems (so far) to have turned out to sea. I am so thankful if that stays that way. As of now, nice weather is predicted and it's not too hot (70s) so that's good too. The Western part of the state still needs to build mountain roads back a year after Hurricane Helene. I don't know if the Government will shut down at all. The local news is as dishonest as ever about what's going on compared to Youtube. I guess it will happen tonight, whatever happens. Hope they all know what they are doing and risking. It's always the innocent people who get hurt in these things. I always liked going to Home Goods, but haven't been in a while. They always have new stuff. I hear things on the news that I don't understand like what is going on in the Mideast. They have a peace deal, but the bad guys haven't signed it but Trump says Israel has his backing to do what needs to be done if they don't get the bad guys to agree. It sounds good, but then I think about and I'm not so sure. Time will tell. Royal Family. Harry wants back in and for them to give him a house and forgive him. That's my understanding of what he wants. Must be nice to be in Harry's view of the world. Fergie did things and put them in writing I guess in emails and now the emails are coming out and she can't be forgiven for being friends with a nasty guy. But Harry thinks he is in the clear. Maybe, he is. Things don't make sense. Then time passes and they do make sense. I guess life is like that. I get confused, then I wait and things get clearer. Like now I know not to believe everything I hear on the local and national news and I watch for do they present both sides of the story and they don't usually. So, that tells me there are two sides, one is so powerful they can't even say it and let me make up my own mind. Oh well. We move into another month. Days are getting shorter or maybe it's just cloudy from all the rain so darker earlier at night and longer in the morning. I hope today proves to be a good day and the government doesn't shut down. Will there be any difference for most people if it shuts down? Who knows. Enjoy your Tuesday and take it as easy as possible! . |
| All my tests are normal but my bladder is acting up. I hope it is just stress . I am waiting for my Urologist to call me back to make an appointment. Tomorrow, I need to get my Vitamin B12 Shot. Fergie. I didn't know she had sent emails. Looks like there is no privacy for anyone. Harry. Doesn't he have 2 houses? That guy is something else. He needs to take responsibility for his life, actions and marriage and those kids. We have 80 some Degrees. No fall or autumn for us it seems. I vacuumed and did laundry. I called my minister and talked with her. I need to get better and back to Church. I am praying for that. I heard about the possible government shutdown. Like really? The hurricane is quiet at the moment. I heard from my sister. She says they are safe from the hurricane. We move into October. I had a bad September. I am hoping October will be better. I called The Surgeon again to remind them I canceled my appointment. I hope you stay safe from the hurricane. Hurricanes are sensitive. They are also scary. I hope you are feeling well. I pray for the world. Have a good day and a good October. We need fall and need good things to happen. Thanks for all you do. We do go forward . Later |
| Hi on Wednesday. October 1, 2025. A new month is upon us. I hope it's a good day for you and you feel better. Try and get as much rest as possible. Give my regards to Miss Bella Kitty! Yesterday, I went to the post office and that was all. I cleaned a little bit. Bathrooms and floors. Not everything but some thing. Did not sleep too well, but that seems to be the case a lot of nights. So, the government has shut down and both sides blame the other side. The news tries to scare everyone by saying this "could" happen and that "could" happen. Then, they don't follow up when the worst they predict doesn't happen. They don't care about ordinary people and how it effects them. There are two hurricanes, but one is pulling the other one away. I hope they continue to do so. It would be a blessing to have no hurricanes this year. May they all go out to sea and hurt no one. One is Imelda. Don't know about the other one's name for sure. Royals. Meghan's father moved to Philippines early this year with his son. He did that because the press made it too hard for him to live in Mexico. Well, yesterday there was a big earthquake where he lives and he is in a wheel chair living on the 19th floor of a high rise apparently. He had to move there because of the press. Well, we all know who caused all that. His other daughter, Samantha, says please help him to her sister. Sad situation. But I think the royal family, by that I mean the real royals in UK. Well, I think they should help him. They have the resources to do it and they have a duty of care to him. I hope he is okay. He won Emmys for being lighting director on General Hospital in the 80s and 90s and I used to love that soap. Poor man. If they don't help him then whatever, but it's more revealing about them than it is about him. William should see to it, in my opinion. I am waiting to see if it happens. So far, crickets. Heck, he's an American, maybe President Trump will learn of it and help him. Sounds like a really dire and scary situation. I have been in an earthquake and it wasn't good times. And we were on the 10th floor, not the 19th. Well, I hope this first day of October proves to be a good day for you and things go good. I hope this government shutdown is temporary and I hope the powers that be help Mr. Markle Senior. Have a nice Wednesday! |
| October 1. A new month. Government Shutdown. I feel sorry for everyone who works for the government and won't get paid until Congress gets it together. I don't get it. I woke up to that. Ray went to Walmart and come home. A semi almost him. I am glad he was alright. I got my Vitamin B12 Shot. Coming home, the traffic was lousy. I turned off and went to town. I drove down my favorite country roads but the leaves haven't changed colors. I heard about the earthquake in the Phillipines. I am sorry to hear about Meghans father. She can afford to take care of him. What a spoiled, selfish brat. I didn't know her father was a lighting director for General Hospital. Luke and Laura had the best wedding. I liked General Hospital when I was in my teens. I loved Luke and Laura. I liked their son Lucky. I liked when General Hospital was a hospital and a lot of action took place in the hospital. We have two hurricanes brewing. I think I will stay in bed tomorrow. I am no where near the hurricanes. I am scared for everyone. I pray for them. My sister in Florida is safe for now. At the Doctors Office, the Doctor is on vacation. His one staff member gave me my shot. She had her little dog there. I got to pet her. So cute. I think she was like a terrier of some kind. She let me pet her. I am sorry you were in an earthquake. We had a quake in Indiana but it just shook the house for 5 minutes. The same in Tennessee. Those were teasers and I hope to never see the real thing. Tornadoes. I saw the leaves whirl around in a funnel. Coming home from work, I saw a tornado but ot stayed in the sky. I have seen dark clouds. I didn't like. I hope I never go through one. I hope you are doing well. I need to clean the bathrooms. We had to order a new bathroom window for Mom's house. I don't know when the house will get sold. Have a good day. Thanks for listening Praying for better days. |
| Hi on Thursday. It is October 2, 2025. I hope it is a good day for you, with nice weather. It is nice here. I think those hurricanes have gone bye bye and for that I am very thankful. Give my best to Miss Bella! I am slow getting going today. I had to take care of something and it put me behind. Then I did some laundry that needed doing. Still, I am tired, but I got a lot of sleep. Who knows why this is the case. Everything seems to take a long time for me. Like slow motion. Maybe it is the change of seasons. The government is still shut down. Why can't they get it together to do their work. Not very inspiring. They should make everyone's health care affordable and not give it to people in the country illegally. Those people should have to pay for what they need like the rest of us. Congress wants to give them free everything. I don't get it. It's not like Congress isn't getting paid. They are. The Military isn't getting paid. Royal Family. Princess Anne made a visit to Ukraine and met with Zelenskyy. They should send her over to talk some sense into Putin. I bet he would listen to her. Maybe while she's traveling, she should check on Mr. Thomas Markle, Sr. Yes Meghan's Dad is an Emmy Winning Lighting Director who worked on General Hospital and Married With Children. He is 81 and I guess his other kids care about him. Harry treats his family badly and she treats some of her family not so nicely. But her brother takes care of her Dad and says that they are okay now and he's mad that they haven't heard anything from Meghan. She's supposed to get some big humanitarian award in NY next week. For what, who knows? Pretty crazy after the way she ignores her Dad's predicament in an earthquake. My brother is thinking of coming on Saturday or Sunday. He wants to watch Downtown Abbey The Grand Finale when he comes so I will wait until her gets here. Not much else is happening. Today is trash day and I am grateful the kids across the street and the yard guy have helped me get my yard clippings and trash out for pick up. Other than laundry, not much is going on. I don't think I will go far, if I go out at all. Take care and get some good rest! |
| Day 2 of Government Shutdown. Ray's friend is in the National Guard and is going to Texas in 2 weeks. Orders from the military. I feel sorry for everyone who is going through this Government Shutdown. Thanks for your help with the Jane Austen Writing Contest. I will post the results this weekend after I do reviews. I am glad Meghan's father has people who care about him. Meghan wanted to be a Royal and not do anything to earn it. It's all about her and she will never be Queen. She's awful. Meghan getting an Award? She doesn't deserve it. That's nice Princess Anne went to Ukraine. She is good hearted. That is nice your brother wants to watch Downton Abbey. Ray doesn't like Downton Abbey. My cousin loves it and so did Mom. I will get to see it later. I cleaned the bathrooms. In the morning, I don't feel my best but I feel better as the dat goes on. It is 80 some Degrees. I am still waiting for autumn . I watched Night of Dark Shadows last night. I want to watch Halloween stuff this month. It is going to take a month to get the window for Mom's bathroom. I don't know when I will get the house sold. I don't want to try to sell it in the winter. Have a good day. Thanks for all you do. Not much to say. I hope you are feeling good. |
| Hi on Friday. It is October 3, 2025. It is chilly here this morning and feels like Fall. I haven't turned my heat on yet. I did get some sleep, but then woke up a few times. I guess that's what things are like now. I hope today is a good day for you and you can relax some. Give my best to Bella! Thanks again for asking me to be a part of "Jane Austen Writing Contest 250 Years"  ! I enjoyed reading all the entries!Thank you for the merit badge, also! On Youtube, I watched some of the Interview Eugene Levy did with Prince William. Prince William seems so nice. He has weird relatives. I liked his scooter and his dog. The dog clearly loves William and that says a lot to me. I think that William puts up with a lot from those in his family and in the press who are jealous of him. Do-nothing Government Shutdown - The government shutdown seems dumb to me. I think it's always the innocent people who get hurt by this stuff, not the arrogant politicians. They need to knock it off. I know of people who are quite distraught because they don't know when they will get paid for their work. Someone who works for the TSA at a major airport does not need that stress. They are considered "essential" but don't get paid. Congress pays themselves. I can't take these politicians. They have ruined health care and now the Democrats want to give it free to people here illegally. I know people who struggle and do the right thing and health care isn't a good situation there. I don't really like medical stuff so I avoid it when I can. Lots of lying goes on. Royal Family. I heard that allegedly Meghan Markle didn't check on her Dad in the earthquake situation, but that he's okay. I hope he is okay. It doesn't sound like a good situation for an 81 year old Dad. It looks bad that members of the richest family in the world apparently don't help the other grandfather of the King's grandkids. Not a good look. Meghan and Harry should get an award for the most annoying relatives of the royal family in history That's the only award I can see them deserving at this point. Princess Anne is good and no nonsense. Maybe she should go to California and give them what for. Sports. So, the baseball playoffs are going on. My Mets didn't make it. Maybe next year. Same with the Cardinals. Tom's great nephew plays for the farm team for the Cardinals, but he didn't get called up. Maybe next year. My brother might want to watch playoffs because he likes Detroit. I'm okay with baseball, I enjoy it. I guess since my teams stink, I will root for the Phillies. My friend's Dad took us to see the Phillies when I was young. My brother does say he wants to watch Downton Abbey. Tom loved the show, too. He and I were both sad when Maggie Smith passed away on and off the show. Hope it doesn't make me feel too sad to watch it. I hope that today proves to be a nice productive day. I am thankful for the fact that those hurricanes made a sharp right turn out to sea. What a blessing for here and for the country.  |
| The Government Shutdown is still happening. I haven't heard what they are going to do. We got the weekend. The Government is always closed on the weekend. Thanks for your help with the Jane Austen Writing Contest. I hope everyone is happy with the results. I am glad the hurricanes are leaving everyone alone. How can Meghan ignore her father and the situation? Sad. She is a Princess and she and Harry can help him. I don't understand people. I hope your brother comes to visit and let me know how you like the Downton Abbey movie. I hope the puppy likes it as well. No special plans this weekend. I am been hoping to write a story for Bards Hall. I will see what happens. I guess the Middle East is thinking about making peace. Let's hope so. The wars have gone on long enough. Going to be summer weather for awhile,yet. I can't believe the air conditioning is still running. My cousin is going to Michigan this weekend. I would hate to keep up 2 houses. I can't take care of one house. Have a good weekend. Thanks for all you do. Praying for the world. Later. |
| Hi on Saturday. It is October 4, 2025. I hope you feel alright and that today is a relaxing day for you. My brother and his dog, Rascal, are coming in a while. My neighbor is doing a Horse thing so she doesn't want to go to church tomorrow. She called to let me know that she will be at the horse thing. That works out okay because my brother and his pup will be here and we can't leave Rascal alone and he can't go to church. So, my neighbor and I hopefully will go next week. Tell Miss Bella Kitty, I say hi! Yesterday, I went to Target and got a few things. I watched my usual Youtube. When my brother gets here we will watch baseball and hopefully Downton Abbey The Grand Finale movie. I wasn't sure if I could do it without Tom being here. My brother and I will go out to eat. Maybe we will go for smash burgers. We can take Rascal and sit outside because the weather is supposed to be quite nice. October 4, 2022 was Tom's last visit to the site, so 3 years ago today was his last visit here to Writing.Com. In the News. I heard that Trump settled the War in the Middle East and that the bad guys accepted the treaty and will release their hostages. Meanwhile, the Democrats shut the government down and sit around and laugh, while they get paid and the military doesn't. That's what it looks like. I saw Putin say that he likes and respects Trump. If Trump can end that war, too, before the end of the year it will be a good thing. But the people who can't give him credit for anything still won't give him credit. Royals. I saw part of Prince Williams interview with Eugene Levy on Youtube. Prince William was wonderful and I liked it when he rode in on a stand-up scooter. He seems quite normal compared to certain other people in his family. I think he will make an excellent King. Eugene Levy was better than any journalist I've seen. I really enjoyed getting to know William a little better. He seems very likable. Not much is happening other than me waiting for my company. I cleaned up a tiny bit. I should say I tidied up a little. Hope today proves to be a good day for you and you feel well! |
| About 80 Degrees again today. I feel my usual. Somedays, I feel better then others. A sinus thing today. I watched The Big Valley and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Not very exciting. I hope your brother arrived and the puppy is happy. At least he has his own bed and toys. I am sure he is well fed. I see my Urologist Monday and my Medical Doctor Tuesday. I don't know who Eugene Levy is. Prince William will make a good King. Catherine will be good as Queen. The Royals do have a time and the Media loves just waiting on their next move. Sad really. We do need to pray for the Royals. Tom's last visit to WDC. I see his white case. Mott. That is good that he had an account here. Bella had tuna. I made tuna casserole yesterday. I left out extra tuna for her. She doesn't love tuna like she used to. That is good that the Middle East is settled. I pray for them all the time and Ukraine. I guess Trump can make a difference. I have doing laundry. I am doing things around the house. Sorry, you aren't going to Church. I hope I can go tomorrow. Without Mom, it is hard for me. I have been so stressed out, too. I don't trust any anxiety Meds except for one. I pray things get better. Things are quiet at WDC. Have a good day. Thanks for all you do. Enjoy Downton Abbey and the puppy. I know you will. |
| Hi on Sunday. It is October 5. We move through October. I hope that today proves to be a good day and that you feel better as the day goes on. Hopefully, you can get some help this week from the doctor visits! Give my best to Miss Bella! My brother and Rascal are here. We did not go to church because my neighbor had the horse thing today. My brother doesn't like to leave Rascal. He and I went to brunch with Rascal. The waiters were very nice to him. Rascal always brings out the smiles in people. We are watching some Football from Ireland on Youtube. It is Cleveland vs. Minnesota Vikings. It seems like it is AI. We will try and watch Football on Paramount Plus since I have that. We didn't have much luck with baseball. The interview with Prince William was really nice. He is much different from his whiney brother. I liked his scooter he came in on. William was impressive and he's cute, too. Very likable like his mother was. Harry, not so much. Apparently Meghan Markle went to Fashion Week in Paris and did something at the Ritz Hotel where Diana was before she was killed. Very odd. Everything I saw. She was with some other guy, not Harry. Since William has such a successful interview, she had to do something for attention, I guess. Her outfit was very odd. I guess the government is still shut down. How can I tell. Because people are worried and upset and no one in the government seems to care. Not good. Oh, we watched the Downton movie. I cried at the end. I loved seeing all the characters, but the story seemed a little repetitive. Definitely missed Maggie Smith's humor in it. I hope today is a good day for you. The weather here seems nice - hope yours is too! Good luck at the Doctor's tomorrow!! |
| Glad your brother and the puppy are there. That's nice. Is the puppy used to you? I never make it to Church. Everything, I get something done; it takes me awhile to get back to normal. I may need my bladder dilated again . We will see. The Downton Abbey movie sounds good like always. I can't stream. I will have to wait. I bet Maggie Smith is missed. I loved her Ray is mowing grass. The farmers make so much noise driving their farm trucks and rattle things in my house. I am watching Bull Riding . I love the bulls and they seem ill tempered . We should just leave them alone. Let them eat grass and be with the ladies. I like when the bulls win. The bulls are pretty and buck really high. I hope the owners are good to them. Watching bull riding makes me nervous. Prince William. He is a good man. Harry. I bet he regrets his decisions about things. I wonder if Meghan cheats on Harry. She is doing a Paris Fashion Show thing. Typical. The Government Shutdown. I heard they are blaming the Republicans . I say find another way to solve this problem. I see my Urologist tomorrow. Seems like same problem, different year. I hope to get things resolved. Enjoy your time with your brother. Give the dog hugs. Have a good week. |
| Hi on Monday. It is October 6, 2025. My company has gone home. After they left, I went to the grocery store so I am playing catch up with everything. Rascal is used to me. He's devoted to my brother, but is okay with me. He's not hostile or anything. He likes to sit on a padded bench in the window. Boo used to put her paws on the bench to look out. Rascal can jump up and down. Boo could only go up on her front paws because of being a Basset Hound. Long and low. It my brother walks from one room to the other, Rascal panics and follows and checks on him. If my brother goes upstairs, Rascal is on his heels going up, too. Say hi to Miss Bella for me! I hope your Doctor visit goes well and is okay and helpful. I called my primary care to arrange my flu shot. The first time, I was on on hold a long time and I gave up. But then after I got back from the store I called and they gave me an appointment for next week. We watched about 4 episodes of regular Downton. I am into it now. I want to watch the new movie again because I'm not sure I got everything they were trying to convey. At the end, they showed Mary dancing with Matthew and that made me cry. I am going to keep on watching the series. It takes my mind off things that upset me and focuses on a happier time. I guess that's partly because the series and movies are finished and also because Tom and I watched it together so many times. We shared it. He loved it and the characters, too. The fact that almost all the actors are noticeably aging is bittersweet. Mary and Edith looked the same, but just about everyone else is pretty much older. In the News. So, the government is still shutdown and the people who need to end the shutdown don't care about normal people who aren't being paid for their work. Plus, I see some people treating it like a joke. That's not good because they are hurting real people who work for government. They don't seem to matter. It makes it all seem mean. Royal Family. William has sense and appears to be somewhat normal. Maybe he is or isn't, but he can appear to be that way. I liked his scooter.  Meghan's outfit made her look like early Halloween ghost city. Her head looks too small for the white bedsheet she appeared to be wearing. Plus she was breezing around the place Diana went on her last car trip from in Paris. So, Harry and Meghan want the British Government to pay for protection for her to go to fashion shows in Paris at the Ritz Hotel. She doesn't even look good. She looks creepy. Well, that fits Halloween I guess.My brother is going on another long road trip in November without Rascal. Rascal will not be a happy camper. Brother can't stay in one place I guess. It's lucky his grandsons like to drive him and go with him. When he comes and then leaves it's hard for me to be left alone then and I get bereft and sad for a time. Then, I get better and it happens all over again. He tells me things then forgets what he told me. It almost doesn't hurt my feelings anymore, I expect it more or less and have learned not to count on much. Well, I hope your day is a good one and the doctor helps you to feel better! |
| I saw my Urologist. He is going to dilate my bladder next week. He looked over my Cscans. I have a cyst on my kidney but it is minor. No problem. He said I just had a Urine Test and that was clear which I know. I went to see my Urologist by Hooterville Hospital. The handicapped parking is awful but I prayed and did alright. I see my Doctor tomorrow. I hope that visit goes well. I woke up with bad sinus issues. Tylenol helped. Thank goodness. I am worried I will be dehydrated. I will ask him about it tomorrow. It is going to rain It is cooling off tomorrow. I am sorry your brother had to leave. I hated when my sister went home. We don't see us anymore much. Poor Rascal. He will be on his own. I haven't done anything on here. I have no pep. I need some story ideas. I keep up on achievement badges. Downton Abbey. I need to watch the episodes again . I love this show. Meghan. Like she needs a costume. Harry looks like a werewolf. I should be nice. I had such high hopes for them. Sad. The Government Shutdown. I hope it ends. Ray's friend is in the military and has to go to Jordan. They won't even pay for his ticket. The Government Shutdown won't allow it. Have a good day. I hope things go well for you . I pray for a good autumn. Thanks for all you do. |
| Hi on Tuesday. It is October 7, 2025. I hope it is a good day for you and the sun is shining. Hope it goes okay at the Doctor's Office! Give Miss Bella a hug from me! I went to the post office early, then got some stuff done here. I did some laundry. I don't feel like I have much energy to do much or pay attention to much. Maybe that will get better. It's like every time my brother leaves, I have to get used to being by myself all over again. Only, I never get better, just start to get better. I am very sad and depressed a lot of the time. Rascal helps me to perk up. I am not sure I could manage a dog of my own, though. The Yard Guy came and he aereated. I talked to him a while. My grass is pretty brown now. News. Still the government is shut down. I feel like both sides should get serious about getting it back open. I don't really understand why they are doing things this way. Normal people are being hurt and inconvenienced. It doesn't seem right. Royal Family. I don't think Meghan Markle should mess with the memory of Diana and mock it. That doesn't seem like a smart move to me. People loved and appreciated Diana. Markle needs to knock it off. So disrespectful to do what she did in Paris. Charles needs to do something, but I don't know what. I guess that's why he's King. But Charles needs to take a stand and be firm because he owes it to Diana's memory. That seems pretty clear that someone has to put their foot down besides Meghan Markle. I am going to watch Downton Abbey more now. I get sidetracked with Youtube sometimes. I hope that today proves to be a good day for you and you get to feeling much better! |
| I went to the Doctor. My A1C is 6.1. He said that surgeon didn't need to do a Gtube thing on me. He said enemas would have worked. He knows the surgeon and I told him how the surgeon acted and he said he is rude. I agree. I pray I don't have anymore reasons to see a surgeon. At least next week's procedure will be better. Not great but I know what happens. WE finally got rain We don't get much lately but it rained 5 hours at least.I am sorry you miss your brother. He has his puppy. I don't understand why he leaves his puppy a lot. I am sure he loves him. Meghan is making a fool of herself. Charles needs to take a stand is right. Princess Diana was a lady and a Princess. Meghan is neither. It's sad really. She wanted the title of Princess but not the rest of it. Diana's memory is precious. She was well loved. Can't Harry stand up to her? Tomorrow, I need to clean house. I am so far behind. The Government Shutdown. When is this going to end? In our past Campfires, we write about past things going on. We have more bad things then good. Let's hope better things are in store for us. The Vets aren't getting their money. Why does a Government Shutdown punish everyone? A helicopter landed on a highway but at least no one was hurt. I would be afraid to fly. Too many accidents. Have a good day. I am trying to think of a story for Bards Hall. Praying for better days. |
