10/2026 - Thursday the 15th - MY JOURNEY

 

Gazebo in Swensson park



Today's Name Day:  Hillevi , Hedvig
I remember several ancestors named Hedvig.  All but one were in Sweden.  I had a great aunt named Hedvig born in LBK.  Born dead I assume.  Always put flowers on  her grave.  She was a sister to my grandpa.  Mom's father.


    Today was just a day of rest.  I needed a day away from life.  Although alone is never good for me.
    They forecasted all this rain for here & flooding, etc.  I got next to nothing.  I knew that would happen.  Tired of it.  Heavy mist will not end our drought here.
    Blood sugar got low so I am up to eat & I left the tv off.  The quiet is nice,  Cats are all quiet.  No fighting yet!!!
    Turned the tv on.  No good news yet.  But the live execution is halted.  Good.  Nothing else good.
    My car needs to be worked on.  More stress.  Tomorrow I am taking it in to see when I can get an appointment date.  And how long will it take.  When & can I find someone to drive me home.  That will be a challenge.  Will not even try to find some to take me to work & then home again.  I am sure there is no one that has the time or will take the time.  I will just stay at home & hope I can get a ride in to pick my car up.  Living a life alone is quite challenging.  A quien le importa.  Nadie es.
    Kisse is here on me for some cuddles.  Ignored the others.  I can see Cinder.  No clue where Daisy is.
    Temper stayed in the 50s today.  Even the  house stayed a bit chilly.  I turned my room heater for a short time.  I feel ok.  Glad we are missing the severe weather heading to the east.  What a relief.  Bad forecast.
    No clue what to fix for supper.  No appetite.  Will find something.








Cool photo.


Cinder outside.

Kisse & Nico

Nico all cuddly.  Lordy I wish he was still here.

Kisse in my bedroom window.


Daisy when I got up from my nap today.  She was clueless.  She was all comfy.


LBK with some snow.

Cool picture.

Nico, Kisse, Cinder.

Love this one.

Viking ship used in maybe a play or parade.



New business in LBK.  Looks cool.  Still working inside the get it ready but there are some things open.  In my family's building that was known as Train Brothers.  They sold furniture, repaired radios & horse drawn carriages.  Second floor was a funeral home.

My son's first wife.  I love her without all my heart. She was the best faults & all,  She died very young from cancer.


Dreaming.........

10/2026 - Wednesday the 14th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Stellan
I might have a cousin with this name.


    Today working at the Old Mill.  The entire staff was there including our cleaning lady.  Not seen her for a long time.
    It misted on me going to work.  Sort of misty before supper.  On the way home it was heavy mist.  And heavy fog.  Love the fog.  We rarely get fog here.
    Work was good.  I finished a group of photos & started a new group.  Kind of easy photos.  Nice to see everyone at work.  Good chatting.  
    I bought a small rug for the cats to sharpen their claws on.  They all know what it is for.  Then they attack the original rug there. And then they get all excited & make a mess with rugs & cat food.  Better there than the living room or kitchen.  Silly cats.
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  I felt pretty good & had carnitas.  Very good.  Have to careful how much I eat.  I hate diet soda.  Dang.  I have real coke here but only drink a little at a time.
    I have a new friend who knows many of my hispanic friends. MA says I have met him in Concordia & he played soccer with other employees of Jalisco's.  I think he does have me confused a little with another lady but who knows.  He seems nice.  New friends are always nice.  If they stay friends.
    He texted me & so did JL.  Got a text from AH from Mexico.  And a photo.
    Temp is down to 57F already.  I am tired.  Took a super short nap tonight.












You bet!!!
















Drooling!!


At the Red Barn.

End of the Hyllningsfest run.  A friend is in the red ---MA.  He usually does fairly good.
