Norma's Wanderings around a small section of Montana


Well, hey there!
Welcome to Roundup, Montana! If it's a nice day, we'll sit a spell on my porch and talk awhile.

"All the resources we need are in the mind.” Theodore Roosevelt, our 26th President of the United States of America.

Another quote I find interesting: "Creativity is intelligence having fun." Albert Einstein

What's on your mind today?

I've signed up for the 30-Day Blogging Challenge. In February I entered several contests, while I waited for March and the blogging challenge.

Today was a meeting day. Gracious. First there was a church officer's board meeting. We had it at a member's home, out on her ranch. Lovely. We gathered in her sun room, watched a few birds at her feeders. The best part was the wood-burning stove. The day began windy and cold. Then suddenly, "Everyone move to the living room." Darn. The meeting went on for two hours. I guess we decided on a lot. I got my assignments. Then I excused myself and drove back to Roundup.

I had a meal to deliver to a person who had surgery recently. This person defies description. She continually seeks surgery for problems; some real, some imagined. But we treat her with kindness, so I took her a meal. Our church has been doing this the past week. She tried to get me to stay and do her dishes. I gave her ideas on how to do the chore, a bit at a time. It has been more than a week post-op. She is capable. I had to come home and take care of my husband, I told her. "And what is wrong with him?" Well, nothing. He is my husband. I take care of him, I told her.

So I go home, we have our meal. We talk, we laugh. I take care of my life.

Then I go to my book club gathering. We were to read "Little Fires Everywhere". Good book. One person didn't read it all. She said she couldn't read anymore about 'those people'. She didn't want the characters in 'her head' all night. We had to tell her what she missed and what happened. She still doesn't want to read the book. Too bad. But I understand when a book just doesn't appeal.
Our next book is by Louise Erdrich. The library doesn't have it, it's due to be read in 2 weeks. Hmmm. Have to figure this one out.

I wrote a song for the Writer's Cramp titled 'Cry, Cry, Cry'. And now I can't get that song out of my head. Ever get something in your mind and worry it to death thinking about it? It is sort of like when you're a child and have a loose baby tooth. You wiggled the tooth with your tongue, sucked on it, and pushed it with your fingers. But it didn't want to let loose until the tooth underneath pushed it out of the way.

Perhaps another idea will come and push out this song. The prompt for the day was about Johnny Cash. 'Cry, Cry, Cry' was one of his songs.

Read about it here:

Careful, it's a catchy tune. Soon you'll be singing it and thinking of Delia and missing her like the man on the train.

I am still in a wonder about the Quill nomination for 2020. Amazing.

Until I hear from the Wonderland contest, I have been writing for the Daily Flash Fiction and The Writer's Cramp contests. Then I'll start the 30-Day Blogging Challenge. I like to keep busy with writing. It keeps me active. It keeps my brain busy.

I think the key to this Corona Virus thing is to keep busy. Stay away from the news. Eat right. Go outside every day. If you are lucky enough to have a job still, cherish it and don't complain. Others aren't so lucky.

I've done my time in the work world. I tell people about some of the jobs I've held in my life, and they chuckle. I guess I got bored easily. The down side is I never worked anywhere long enough to get a retirement from any place. But then neither did my hubby. So we manage on social security alone. So the key to this is being frugal.

So off I go to write a story. I'm almost finished with the next one. Wish me luck. *Shamrock*

Tonight I just found out this BLOG was nominated in the 2020 Quill Awards for Best Blog. Well, now, isn't that just a kick in the pants!
I am astounded!

Thank you for nominating me, whoever that was. I do enjoy sharing my little corner of the world with all of you. Life here in Montana is just a bit different from the rest of you.

Then I got to thinking well, what are some unique things? Seems you can find almost anything on the internet. Hubby says I can find things that aren't there. Magic.

Montana Facts and Trivia. Montana has the largest migratory elk herd in the nation. The state boasts the largest breeding population of trumpeter swans in the lower United States. The Montana Yogo Sapphire is the only North American gem to be included in the Crown Jewels of England.

So there. Like I said, unique. Just like my BLOG.

I finally finished the Wonderland Challenge. So now I think I am justified to be called Queen NormaJean II in honor of the second year's completion. So let it be written, so let it be done.

Things are warming up here in my part of Montana. The thermometer actually got above freezing today, the first time in over two weeks. That was some wicked cold spell we had. We had just frozen pipes going to the laundry, so no big catastrophe like you hear of in Texas. But then, we in Montana tend to have better insulation and precautions against cold and such.

I had an appointment with my neurosurgeon yesterday. This doctor did my original tumor removal and then the spinal fluid leak repair a few years ago. We agreed that yes, the MRI verified I still had a brain. Good to know. And we would meet again in 10 years, Good Lord willing and we were both still alive. I found that a bit amusing. He then tried to convince me to get the COVID vaccination, all kinds of scare talk about people that get brain problems with the virus and all. Hmmm. I politely told him, no, still not going to do it. Hubby and I have talked about this. We're not getting the vaccination. Yeah, I know. Don't preach the science to me. I know all about it. The answer is still no. I have lived this long, and if the good Lord sees fit to take me now, I say, 'Hallelujah!'

I have one more check that needs to get picked up from my non-profit fundraiser. This organization is a piece of work, let me tell you. I am more than annoyed at this point. The person in charge resigned, so no one is running the show now. I have a sizable donation to hand over but am not going to just walk it to them. I have told them twice about this money, and they never showed at the original meeting. They need to come and collect it. They are literally a block away from my house. So, if no one comes in a month, and I will tell them this in a month, the check will be voided and the money returned to the pool for the next year's donations. They will then be removed from the roster. Well, enough. I'm getting upset just typing this. They'll come around, I pray. I don't like being the bad guy.

Have fun, stay warm! Good thing February is a short month!

It has been a while since we had temperatures this low. It is now 9:17 PM. It is -25. I told hubby we should do the 'throw hot water outside and watch it vaporize' trick. But that would mean putting on -30 rated boots, -30 rated coat, a balaclava on my face, a hat, mittens, then grabbing the hot water. Sounds like a lot of work. And it's dark outside.

Maybe I'll watch something on youtube.

We are in the midst of a cold spell. No bus pickup for school kids. They don't want any kids waiting at bus stops. People on Facebook telling about frozen pipes, broken furnaces. Cars won't start. The problem is we had temperatures in the 50's just a week or so ago, so no one is used to this extremely cold weather this winter.

We are supposed to be cold until next week. Our car hasn't been started for over a week. Tomorrow we may try to start it. I pray it starts. If not, we have a battery charger. We don't have to go anywhere until Tuesday.

Stay warm everyone. We're sucking down propane like mad, but at least we're warm.

Today is a chilly day here in my part of Montana. Right now, at 9:45 AM, it's a balmy 3 degrees. The other day it was 60 degrees and I was riding my bike. Today I may don the cross-country skis and ski to church.

We got about 2 inches of snow. Of course, they predicted a big apocalyptic storm with feet of snow and below zero temperatures. So far, we've dodged a bullet, so to say.

But the winter to date has been mild. With no moisture so I don't want to hear any complaints from anyone. This is Montana. We should be used to this.
