I did not take this photo.  I only edited it.

Today's Name Day: Klara

I had a friend in junior high named Linda,  Her sister was Clara,  I hated when they moved to Florida,

Mom had a good friend named Clara who lived in Augusta KS.  We took a bus to visit her & the bus back home,  I fell there & had stitches in my forehead,  Scared me.

    Today I have nothing to say,  I had little sleep & in severe pain at a level of 8.  Very little communication today..  I had a short nap.  Just a usual day at home,,

    Tired of being lonely.

    Cannot win today.  Had my entire blog written & it all disappeared.  I kept getting some kind of message.  No idea why.  Hope this is ok now.

Willie & Jo..  Love & miss them

Sure wish he was closwer.  Hate always being alone.

Old memory.. They were in high school. One is my cousin & the other a friend still.

Great niece.  RN.

8/2026 - Tuesday the 11th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Susanna

I went to high school with a Susanna & her 2 sisters.  One was my age.

    Today was just a day of "nada".  Just lonely.  I try to ignore those who have real lives.

    I tried to nap but did not.  Instead I sorted through photos & deleted almost 900.  I am way behind,

    Ready for autumn.  Today was 106.3F.  All you sun loving people can have it.  Makes me physically sick.  Bryr sig någon??  And no change in our weather until maybe this weekend or next week.  Hope my car works.  It does not like super hot stuff either.

    I tried some kind of soda that is supposed to be healthy.  But it does not taste good.  Need to quit trying new things.

    CH 10 had a special on tonight about Aug. 11, 1976 in Wichita.  I remember when it happened.  Eleven victims were shot & killed.  There were others injured for various reasons.  The shooter was Michael Soles.  He is actually still alive in prison.  There was no death penalty then.   The reason  I remember this event so well was after the shooting Willie & I were there in the Holidayt Inn.  Has a different name now.  Willie was a semi truck driver then.  Another trucker was being honored  for something.  He was a friend of all of us.  So there was big award/meeting/supper, etc.  I cannot remember how long after the shooting it was held but many of his friends went.  It in the Holiday Inn.  After eating there was a bar open for us to go to on one of the top floors for free drinks.   The bar was actually in the room where there shooter was located shooting.  I watched on tv about it tonight.  I remember feeling kind of creepy in the shooting room.  They had an interview with the shooter.  He has tried to get out but thankfully they refuse.  He seems to think he could help others,  I do not think so.  His life was never good.  Not as a child or adult.  I want to see the special again.

This is very true.  Plus I have friends in many foreign countries.  Would hate to lose contact with family & friends,

Best friends having fun.  Lucky them.
