Today's Name Day:  Rutger , Roger

I remember a well known local trumpet player named Roger.  What awesome talent.  A friend of mine her husband was Roger as is her son who is also a trumpet player.  I am sure there are other Rogers in town.

    Today was a pretty good day.  Slept pretty good.  Pain kept increasing.  Bad now.  Had one short text from MM & a small email from JL.  Everyone else pretty quiet.

    Had awesome looking radar here last night.  What a joke.  Got around 0.11"  What a joke.  Still great looking radar this morning.  Why bother to look?

    Our temperatures stayed cooler today.  Nice cool breeze when I fed Daisy.  But it warmed up during my nap.  Hot & humid again.  Usch.

    National news is all bad again.  Why do I have it on??  But it is not CBS.  Never again.

    I have sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses.  They broke.  I ordered new ones.  I thought they were arriving tomorrow but I was wrong.  Came today.  On sunny days I really need a pair.  Take them off driving in town usually.  My eyes are very sensitive.

    I took a nice nap.  Not only increasing pain but my tiredness is bad.

    Work tomorrow.  Be nice to see everyone & not be home alone.

    A lot of my photos today are ones I have taken.  Nothing special.

Love this one.  Cool.

Cinder laying in front of some art I created.  It has since been put away.  Not all of us can respect art!!!  

Napping Nico.  Miss him.

Love this one!!! Makes me laugh!!

All of the photos like this one I have taken.  There is a hidden spot in an alley they bloom in.  Usually gorgeous every year.

                                                                             

                 

6/2026 - Monday the 1st - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Gun , Gunnel

    Today was a good day.  Did not sleep the best after 3am.  But I survived.  Started my day with picking up a grocery order up at White's.  By not using my credit card I am losing lots of money from my credit card.  I get money back each month from my card by shopping at places I have added.  I saw how much I lost in May.  Too much.  No more.  And it sure helps to look at the online food list to see what I have been clueless what they have to order.  Had a great supper tonigh!!!  About time!!

    Lunch was at the Sale Barn.  MM was working as bartender today & training a new hire.  An old friend sat across the aisle from me & we had a great visit.  We eat at a lot of the same places but never close enough to have a real coversation.  We both enjoyed our lunches.  Always good to have someone who will actually listen to me & answer.  KN & some of his family came in.  I needed to talk to him about my dryer.  Something neither of us had thought about.  He will see if maybe it could work.  Save me a ton of money.  I know that no one cares how much money I have to dole out. 

    MM paid for my lunch but wrote up a ticket for $0.01 so I could tip the new hire.  Good idea!!  She got my tip then.  She seems really nice.  Need to eat there at noon more often.  Or at Pizza Hut for lunch.  See my friend who is manager.  Like him.

    I ate real food today.  No lunch meat.  Had shrimp & fries for lunch.  Fried chicken & potato salad for supper..  Supposedly chicken & potato salad are not sold in the grocery store around supper so I can never got any of them.  Cinder begged for chicken.  I let her lick my plate.  She was grateful.

    My youngest great grandson has been here all weekend.  I got photos of him.  Went home today.  He had a piano lesson.

    Went home & directly to bed.  Great nap.  Both cats slept with me in bed.  Sweet babysitters!!!

    Ordered some bamboo boxes that are in a huge box.  Got to carry it in the house & deal with it later.

    Catching up on my soaps.  Spanish comes next.  I did not get docked for missing a day.  I push myself far too hard.  Good to know.  Will do what I can.  And if I miss a day it is no big deal.

    Bad storms in far western Kansas this late afternoon.  Baseball size hail, strong winds over 70mph.  Heavy rains.  Scary video from locall weathermen.  They are not sure if these storms will keep moving east & affect my farm ---- either tonight or tomorrow.  I am home all day tomorrow.  Make sure things are all charged up this time.
    There was a huge bus in town on Saturday.  It was from Missouri.  Another one was parked near Main Street today.  Probably let all the passengers out to roam around the shops & restaurants.  Good to see!!

Love this one,

Photo I took of a sign for visitors to see when they enter town.

Sale Barn lunch photos.  It used to be called Farley's.  Used glass!!

Bison head on the wall,

Side door,  I can park ini the handicap parking spot.  Then a very short walk to enter the bar from the patio,  Love it!

Nico in his window,  He always waited here for me to come home,  I still always look at this window when I come home,

Nico,

I can only dream.  Oh well.  No one cares anymore.
