12/2025 - Domingo the 28th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Jasper, Woodrow

My cousin's father-in-law was Woodrow.

Had an ok day. Slept good. I set my alarm really early to get my water dripping about the time it got really cold.

Cinder slept with me off & on. Kisse was near. Once in the middle of the night there were no cats near me. Who knows where they were?

Had a middle of the night photo from MM & Gracie. But nothing today. A short email from JL. Eating something made her ill yesterday so quiet today. Hope she is better. CF sent me photos of his now but nothing else.

We had mist during the night & snow started really early today. Long before I got up. I made it out on the porch for a few photos. I did not move much. Carport is or was full of snow. Scared to move much. And did not try to walk down the steps. Best to avoid places where I could slip & fall.

Decided to stay home today. Lindsborg might be ok but Burma Road could be icy & snow packed. Best to stay home. I did read where the interstate was slick & scary. Maybe eat tomorrow evening. Roads should be better but still very very cold.

Spanish is going well. For now. And my Mexican friends are flying home today. How lucky they were to be with family in Mexico. I can dream. Had my chance & blew it.

The Julbok in Gävle Sweden collapsed in a bad storm today or yesterday. Better than fire! There is a video of him falling apart!! Here is a clip from it. See him lean. Ended up in a pile of straw.

I am sick of TV. Dish has Holiday Dish Scapes. I am watching some old ones now. A fave is on now. And Christmas music. I never listened to Santa Baby or Blue Christmas. Do those later. Been a tough holiday time for me.

Wish there was something good for supper here. Boring stuff. Sigh. I read about a new cool eating plac/bar opening in Abilene. It is on my list of places to go. If. JR cannot get up early to eat at noon I am going alone. Looks great!!! I know the street it is on but not exactly where. Saddles & Spurs.

Photos are of my snow here & other wintry stuff.

My snow photos are first here. Me in my slippers.

Two cute photos of cats.

Think this is my church in Sweden

Two AI photos of me. Playing again.

12/2025 - Sábado the 27th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Elvira, Johannes

Went to school with a Johanna. Know some Elviras in both Sweden & here.

Had an ok day. Slept late & no nap. They lied about our weather. Supposed to be warm enough to break records. Not here. Saw around 60 here. I turned no air on over night & then almost froze to death!!! Finally turned the heat on. I slept with socks on. all night. My feet felt good that way. Cinder slept with me most of the night. Was she cold also??? Kisse curls up so tight she is hidden in the bottom of her bed.

I had trash I left outside last night. I was scared to look outside this morning. But nothing touched it. Whew. I picked it up mid afternoon then sat outside for a while. I had 2 trees covered in dark colored birds just sitting & jabbering. I thought of getting my camera but figured I would be too late. Need to take my phone with me outside.

I spent all afternoon working on the holiday photos taken last night. I am lacking enough storage on my phone so I have them saved in 2 separate albums. Time consuming but I am done. I am looking at how to solve my storage problem. So frustrating.

Have some light moisture forecast for this evening. Temps are so-so then turn colder tomorrow afternoon or evening.

Kids are napping. Kisse is laying behind my head on the sofa. I threw a pillow behind me & she likes it. Cinder always takes over my bed. Too busy to join her.

I had splurged on a cute holiday watch band but I am so done with holidays. Took it off & put my other one back on. I have quit responding to any holiday wishes as of yesterday. I am done.

Enjoying photos from family in Sweden & friends in Mexico. I am still depressed about not being included in any family or friend celebrations. Those days are long over I am afraid..

I have no idea what I did but suddenly things I posted turned into web pages. Huh??? I found a button next to my blog that does that. Hate it. I will remember & be careful.

Photos are from last night. I have found a way to post from the album they are in. Easy.

Supper of potatiskarv cooked with bacon, onions, & liquid. Yummy.

French fries.

Old Mill Mint ice cream. We never get there in time. It is always gone when we want some. Extra good!!

Swensson Park of a tree & gazebo. Used to have a Julbok in this park. Then if got burned down twice & never rebuilt. The it was set on fire by the same young man. Nothing was ever done to him.
