3/2026 - Onsdag den 11:e - MY JOURNEY

This is an old photo.  It is actually 60 years ago today!!!  These are the seniors on the team.  They are Jim, Dale, Randy, John, & Linda.  Dale made the winning basket as the game ended & the buzzer rang out.  Super exciting!!  I was lucky enough to be there. I was also a senior.  Still friends with Randy & John.

Today's Name Day:   Edvin,  Egon

    Had a good day, mostly.  Worked at the Old Mill.  All was well except for the old scanner.  It just won't work.  I would change the settings & if it would scanning several photos I would keep using those settings.  Right before time to go home the scanner was a mess.  Like some of the program would just keep going back & forth in it.  Could not scan & it would not turn off.  I could not stop the app from working over & over.  I turned the  computer off but the scanner kept running.  I had to figure out which was the electrical cord.  I did not guess right to start with.  I finally got it turned off.  And it does this all the time.  Not happy.  Someone needs to come check it out.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  AJTR saved my booth for me.  We chatted a bit & then he disappeared.  I think he was washing dishes tonight.  MS was there & good to see her.  And MA had time to chat a bit.  Good meal.  I had another burger & fries.  Sooo good.  They are the best.

    Groceries came next.  Now Cinder & I are happy!!!

    Was a bit cooler today.  Somehow I felt ok in the basement at work.  Miracle.  House is a bit chilly tonight.  And we had high winds today.  Hate wind.  Very cold weather comes this weekend.  More wind tomorrow.  In a fire watch.  Scary times.

    I was really tired when I got home, I laid down to nap.  I never fell asleep but Cinder cuddled with me the entire time.  I need her more than sleep.

    I had feelings of not belonging today.  More than usual.  No real reason for it.  I really do not belong anywhere.  Think I am still upset over my class reunion that no one could have bothered to tell me when, where, how much, food, etc.  Think I will just skip it.

Just Cinder.

Love this one.  No special reason.  Just love it.

Best friends --- Nico & Cinder.  Lordy I miss Nico.  Every day.

Winslow.  Favorite place.  Favorite song.  Been there.

Nico almost never slept on Willie's chair.  But I got a photo of him doing it once.  Love it.

Colllage of me & my llamas.

Today's Name Day:  Ada,  Edla

I knew an Ada.  Such a sweet lady.  And her husband was special.  He liked my dad.  I knew of an Edla but did not know her.  Before my time.

    Had an ok day.  Slept several extra hours overnight.  I was just exhausted.  Better today.  I did get a short nap.

    Not quite as hot today.  Thanks goodness.  Severe storms for tonight.  All missed us here.  Good.

    I saw the llamas near my front yard so I grabbed my iPhone & sat outside to photograph them.  And share tonight.  I like to call their names & then they look at me!!!

    Had my historical board meeting tonight.  I went to Jalisco's for supper first.  They make the best hamburger & fries in town.  AJTR. had my booth saved!!!  😀. We managed to chat a bit.  His novia (girlfriend) was off today.  So we had to try harder to understand each other.  Plus I had learned something new in my Spanish lessons & I could not remember the first word.  MA had time to help me.  Plus he told me to ask him for help anytime.  Nice.  I appreciate him & his family. And the waitstaff are excellent.  And always treat me like I am special.  It sure makes a difference to get to use a little Spanish sometimes.  Helps me remember things.

    Board meeting went ok,  Had an interesting program afterwards.  I learned a lot about the history of my town.  But it just lasted far too long.  Needs to have a time limit.  I finally left early.  I knew my Spanish lesson was waiting for me.  

    Spanish lesson was ok.  Made a few errors, but still ok.

    OMG!!!  I actually have people from Sweden read my blog & yesterday some from Danmark.

    Not a happy camper here tonight.  Ch 12 is no longer on DishTV.  Fighting with each other.  No Colbert tonight & no soaps tomorrow.  Hope I can find them streaming somewhere.  I hope.

3/2026 - Måndag den 9:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Torbjõrn,  Torleif

Have a cousin in Sweden named Torbjõrn.  He & his wife have been here.  Super nice family.  Still in touch on FB.

    Had an ok day.  I tried to nap on napping day & failed.  I laid down but no sleep.

    I hate the weather today.  It is 84.7F outside now.  I forgot to turn the AC on this morning.  Bedroom was 80.  No wonder I could not sleep.  Storms tomorrow afternoon.  Then cooler & high winds on wednesday.

    KN texted me he had a paper I needed to sign.  About some of the farm I still own.  While I waited for him I sat outside & flattened boxes.  Got them all done.  Wow!!!  In Spanish that is Guau.  Sounds the same!!!  I only learn the most important things in my Spanish classes!!!!  😂

    KN took a large box of flattened boxes to his burn pile.  I have another large box ready to be filled.  And there was a box he put in a trash bin for me.  To heavy for me to do.  No cattle or llamas here while I was outside.

    Got news that a close friend has changed jobs.  Will I ever see him again?  I am happy for him but sad for me.  Wrote him good luck.  And that I hope we can meet sometime.

    Only got an email from JL.  Everyone else is quiet & ignoring me.

    Cats are lazy.  Must be the weather.  I hate hot, humid, buggy weather.  Have a graphic that explains.  I am not giddy over flowers, etc.  Far too early.  And last year there were no wild flowers in my area.  Drought.  Probably the same this year.

    After working 4 days in a row a slow day at home has been nice.  Relaxing.

    Fed the outside cats.  Some has been eaten.  Both KN & I have seen a yellow & white cat in my driveway.  Pretty.  I have seen 3 gray cats in my back yard.  And saw one by my front porch digging in the trash for food.  So I try to out food out in the morning.  And call for the kitties.  If there is food out at night then the wild life gather & cause problems.  If they would just eat I would feed them but tearing up stuff on the porch I do not like.

    Photos are a mix.

This photos shows both cats as outside cats.  Neither pay attention to going outside now.

View from Coronado Heights. Cool photo.

This is the cover of a book written about Lindsborg in Sweden in Swedish.  I have seen it.

Love my cats. Years ago we had 15 or so cats that lived on our farm.  Then they all disappeared.  Miss those times.

Door at the Red Barn Studio.

I have days like this.

People walking by our old movie theatre, The Plaza.  It is gone.  Building is still there with shops in it.

I walked by this house daily when I was on Marstrand Sweden.  I loved being there but it cost me a friendship.  No idea why.  He just did not want me around.  Makes me sad.  I remember our good times in Lindsborg.  I should have never stayed with him in Sweden.

Where we ate lunch on Marstrand.  I had pizza often.  Very good.
