6/2026 - Saturday the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Aino , Aina


    Today was a quiet day with my cats.  Little to no contact with the outside world.  Everyone quiet.  I rested & napped. 
    It got quite hot today. I had 96F here.  Some breeze.  Thunder now.  We are in a storm watch.  Will just screw up my internet again.  Calling my phone company on monday.  They may be my problem.
    Sat outside to open mail boxes.  Daisy stayed close to supervise. . I could pet her.  Then I fed her supper.  See what bedtime is if she gets more.
    Had a harvest photo from CN.  He is a good driver.  And I am sure he is excited.  But if it rains tonight that is it for a day or two.

    I had things I wanted to do but no energy.  And too much pain.  They can wait.  I need to let someone know I have 2 trees down.  No one has been here to check on things or me..
    Got FIFA on.  Watched Brazil.  Now Scotland.  Not a fan of US soccer teams.  Foreign teams play much better.  Watched them for years longer.
















Laugh!!!

6/2026 - Friday the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Eskil
I had one friend named Eskil from Sweden.  He was at the college for a couple of months.  He was a composer, performer, leader of the Stockholm opera & orchestra.  We took a bus trip together.  He sat with me.  When I was in Sweden he told me to call to say hi.  I did.  He died later than year in surgery.  He was the best.  I was lucky to know him a little.



    Today was a good day.  Had a project at work that I finished today.  Glad it is over.  Came out perfect.  I also had 2 huge pictures to scan.  Learned that I can't edit them like all the others.  Easy to figure out though.
    I am working on the last bunch of photos of people & families.  But I swear there is easily a thousand photos to work on.  Yikes!!!  Have work life figured out for a while!
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  I had a phone call from Mexico to tell MA about.  And he had a map to show me & figure out where my house is.
    New young man was working tonight.  I asked who he was.  MA said I already knew him.  Oh my!!  It was MA's son but with blond hair!!!  Sure made him laugh.  Me too.  He looks good. AH came out to say hi twice.  Good to see MS.  And the two cooks came out also.  The one has always called me his aunt.  I tease him & call him my aunt also!!!  I am mean!!!  Good meal.
    I asked for a small portion of rice with an egg that was partially runny.  It was perfect.  Great cooks!!
    Drove around town a bit after supper.  JR never knew where our dad's brother lived & the former owner of the Stuga.  They were neighbours.  Now he knows.  And we got to see lots of tree damage.  Some truly awful scenes.  And one house with some sad damage.  Fixable though.
    I cannot get the internet at home.  Driving me crazy.  I have rebooted my wifi many times. Something is wrong some where.  Verizon, phone company, storm problems.  Super tired of it.  It worked for one day then gone.  Grrrr.
    No storms tonight.  Great.  And probably not tomorrow either.  Maybe.
















MM & kids.  A few years ago.

Harvest.  The field across from my house was ours for many years,  Friends started cutting wheat there today.  Makes me so sad to hear & see.

Mural since painted over.  Love this one.

Makes me so sad.  I no longer have fun times or travel times.  No one to help or care.

Willie's grave with his nephew who shares his birthday.  His best friend drinking a beer on his grave.  I am sure he knew.
