Today's Name Day:  Kennet,  Kent

Known both Kenneths & Kents.  Willie & I both had relatives named Kenneth

    Had an ok day.  Just tired.  I have started taking a med I order online.  I think it is working.  Usually pain free for most of day after I take it.  Yesterday I had no pain & my feet feel better.  I am hopeful.

    I was cold last night so I had the heat on a little.  The AC made me too cold.  This afternoon I was freezing in the living room. It was 65 outside but I was freezing inside.  Turned the heat on a little.  Felt better.  We had 40mph winds hitting the south side of my house.  Felt like the windows were open!  None of my windows will actually open.  Too old.

    I had a nice, cozy nap after lunch.  Then to get ready to eat out.  I only put on clothes.  No make up.  Did not care today.  We ate in the car.

    JR & I went to the Barnyard Creamery.  They now have french fries with their burgers.  That is what we each had to eat.  I had soft serve ice cream for dessert.  I really missed it.  Perfect.

    Then we bought some groceries.  I was out of stuff.  I will be ok now.

    While sitting in my car at the grocery store a man walked up to my car door.  He asked if I was Julie.  I said I was.  He introduced himself.  He is on Lindsborg Now.  He & I talk every day.  And have for a long time but we have never met.  I had no idea what he looked like. But he knew me.  I was thrilled to meet him!!!  I had planned to tell him if he is ever near the Old Mill to stop in.  He plays in a musical group at the Mill at various times.  I would love to be able to be there to listen to them.  What an honor to meet him!!!  Made my day!!!

    Then it was home.  And waiting for me at my mail box was Coco & Larry.  I got some nice photos.  Fun to be close to them.  Cows were no where near me.  They had been earlier.

Larry & Coco.  Love the white face.

    KN fixed my trash bins.  Carry some trash out tomorrow.  Less wind.  I am drowning in trash!!

    I emailed with JL.  MM sent lots of photos.  CF sent some photos.  One was pretty good.

Chris & Princess

    Photos are a mix.

Mom's favorite flower were sunflowers.  This photo is in her honour.

Today's Name Day:  Bengt

Had a cousin in Sweden name Bengt Larsson.  I stayed with him & his family for a week.  He was such a sweet man.  And he drove me all to see cool things.  The river, church, cemetery, museum, eating out.  And there are many people here in town with the last name Bengtson.

    Another less than good day.  I knowingly ate something I love but I know my stomach does not like.  That was for supper last night.  As a result I had a sickly tummy today.  I am an idiot.

    Miserable weather here.  It got to 97F here this afternoon.  Winds were only around 30mph gusts.  And no humidity at all.  Low humidity means no chance of rain here.  An 8% chance of rain next weekend & a whopping 30% chance of rain in 2 weeks.  

    There were 21 cities in Kansas that broke heat records.  Smith Center got to 100 & broke a record from 1907.  Salina was one to break a record at 96.  I beat them.  Cool tomorrow & back to 90 again on next thursday.

    My house is super hard to keep cool.  AC keeps it too cool.  I keep trying different settings.  Having the heat on is rediculous.  I have it all turned off now.  See how long that lasts.  (now up to 77.5 in my living room)

    Lots of cattle near my house with their little calves.  No llamas.

    Today was a festival in Lindsborg.  Vaffledagen.  Celebrating waffles.  It is a true Swedish celebration.  But Swedes do not do costumes, or yelling, or whatever.

Here every restaurant & bar serves their own version of waffles.  Some sound pretty good.  Others not so good.  Just a real waffle is the best.  I have never been in town for it.  Cannot do that much walking.  The joy of rheumatoid arthritis.  😢    

    Had an email from JL.  MM shared lots of photos.  He is working & celebrating waffles without a costume.  And serving lots of beer.  Still green beer.  A photo of him & a coworker who is also a professional singer.

    Still no CBS here.  Stupid.  Someone involved or both are just greedy.  Can get the CBS news on their link,  I can get CH12 on my laptop.

    May carry out trash tomorrow.  Too hot to try today.  I do have mail on my porch to check out now.

    Photos are from one artist.  And photos of my mom.  Would have been her 105th birthday today.

Mom was a twin.  Her twin was born just before midnight but still born.  Mom was born after midnight.  She did not learn this until she was quite old.  I made sure her sister's grave has a marker. She was not named but I did not want her totally forgotten.

In Mom's honour a photo of JR & I trying on her golfing hats.  Fun!!!!

Dalahäst near the SVAFC.
