01/2026 - Måndag the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Frideborg, Fridolf
There was a local man here named Fridolf.  Probably the only person with that name I have known.  Still know his son.

    Had an ok day.  Very quiet.  Trouble getting to sleep last night but when I did it was ok.  Short nap today.
    MM shared photos on SnapChat but not to me only.  Nice email from JL.  That was about it.
    It is a miracle.  My iPhone is now working like it used to.  I load all the fotos I want & no message sayng I am out of memory.  Odd.  I can see the fotos I want to use.  Before that was not possible.  I wonder if the guy who helped me got curious as to why my phone would not work.  Found the problem & fixed it.  I have turned my phone off many times with no change.  I checked the settings on my iCloud.  Just weird.  Nice though..
    I had left some groceries in the car overnight.  Too tired to carry it all in.  And some mail in the trunk.  It is all in the house now.  Plus a few pieces of new mail on my porch.  Good to have Coke to drink again.
    Sick to death of national news.  Very depressing.
    I had hoped to have JR to help me with my car tomorrow & had to cancel.  Totally forgot I have my historical group board meeting, celebrating a board member's 25 years on the board, & a program.
    I was asked to work at the SVAFC this coming saturday.  Now today I got a request to work an entire weekend there in 2 weeks.  Have MH notified I need him to unlock for those days.  I will be glad to see him & the gallery.  Sure missed being there.
    Just outside.  Still warm. Around 52 after highs in the 60s.  Same for tomorrow then cold with high winds.  Few birds, no bulls or deer were seen anywhere.  No traffic.  We usually have lots of cars driving by all day long.  Usually people who live nearby.
    Photos are a mix.  Including one very touching memory.



























Love this one!

What a great moment. Willie had just died & we had a heavy snow. My neighbours came to clean up my driveway & yard. So surprised. I never expected them to do it again. And they did not. That was they way it should be. Willie would have been pleased & thankful. They are truly good people.

Winter AI me..  I keep hoping for Winter while our weathermen are giddy over warm temps.  Sucks.

01/2026 - Söndag the 11th - MY JOURNEY

 


I love the old old huge trains.  Hope I get to see one this next year.



Today's Name Day:  Jan, Jannike
Have a Swedish cousin named Janne, know a Jan or two here..  And a Janice or two also.  Janne is special.  Met him & family in Sweden when I was there.

    Had an ok day.  Slept good & no nap today.  I was busy.  Finally some of the photos I could not access earlier this week.  They showed up this afternoon & I took advantage to grab them.  Busy afternoon makes an easier evening.
    Was cold last night but warmer today.  Not too bad.  Andy thing warm makes our weathermen giddy.  Bless them.
    Supper was with JR at Pizza Hut.  They were not too busy but they had dozens of take out orders.  The delivery girl was sure busy!!! 
    Our waiter is a fave.  He has a great personality & jokes & talks to us a lot.  Makes for a fun meal.
    The garlic bread type order sort of bothered my stomach.  But I also ordered brownies were to die for.  No stomach problems at all!!!
    After Pizza Hut was groceries.  I had a long list!!!  Set for a while now.
    Then Jay filled my car with fuel.  Nice weather.  And super cheap price.  Good timing.
    Home now with the cats napping again.  I am watching a tv show I am not interestered in.  Just wanted some noise.  And I enjoy seeing what the actresses are wearing.
    JR said he would help me clear out the back seat of my car.  Tuesday is sort of warm I think a couple hours then Mexican supper.  See if the weather cooperates.
    The men skaters I watched last night were just on the Wichita news.  The third place skater lost both his parents in the huge plane/helicopter crash last year in DC.  So glad for him.  First place guy is beyond awesome!!  Hope I catch them next week in Milan! 
    I got some really bad family news this evening.  Breaks my heart.  But also had some good news.  A good friend's mom had surgery & went home today.  Doing well.  Plus I saw that MM's youngest son was here to see him today.  Wish I could have seen him too but more importnat for Dad & son to play & love.  I will survive.
    Already too many heart photos showing up.  Not my fave.  Maybe if I had a love interest but will never happen.  Everyone else can have hearts.
    Photos are snow, cats, etc.  Nice to be ready now!!!
