This is about my town.  We are very swedish.

Today's Name Day:  Olof , Olle

    Today was a good day.  Out of the house & worked at the Old Mill.  Did not really see anyone.  LL was with her husband doing something for their house.  AP was off today.  My day was a comedy of errors.          Scanning not working right again.  As usual.  But once I figure out a work around I was ok.  I think all the scanners were not working right before I got to work..

    Driving in town was  challenge.  Town was painting all the stripes in the cross walks.  Sort had to drive back & forth.  Interesting.

    We had a rainy afternoon.  Did not amount to much except creating awful humidity.  Cheesh.  Hard to breath outside.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Had a burger & fries.  Good eating!!  I had dessert before I got there.  Was our director's birthday & someone brought in brownies.  She shared one with me.  Too good for words.

    Stopped for groceries for Cinder & I.  I was out but Cinder had some left.  But all is well now.  I was out today.  And no time to call am order in.  Be good until next week.

    Tomorrow my thursday group eats out.  Not thrilled about where we are going.  Hard to park or get a place to sit.  Oh well. Will try to be there early & hope for the best.

    When I got home I saw Daisy jumped up right away.  She sat & knew my car.  She was glad to see me.  Nice.  

    More showers tonight & early tomorrow & then heat. I hate summer.

Love this photo.  So pretty,

Kisse, I think

Working on really old old photos.  The back of them has a design showing who took the photo.  They are very faded like the next photo.  I  ran one through an editing app.  Shows probably what it originally looked like.  cool.

Me at work today.  Old old books behind me with legal papers.

07/2026 - Tuesday the 28th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day:  Botvid , Seved 

    Today was same as yesterday.  Home alone & little communication with anyone.  Be good to be at work tomorrow.  Only an email today.  Everyone else ignored me.  Everyone stays in contact with their own friends & makes sure they are ok.  I am not one of them.

    Cooler today.  Only got to 96F today.  House was ok.  Super humid outside.  Ick.  Southern KS was still over 100F.  Wichita weatherman was all disappointed that they have not hit 100F yet.  Idiot.  Who wishes for temps over 100F??

    We did get sprinkles during the night.  Not enough to get excited about.  Now they say there might rain here in the morning,

    The hospital called this morning to schedule the xray that Dr. Baxa wants done.  First week of August I will have it done.  Nothing too major.

    This week is too busy.  I need to order groceries for me but I have no time to pick it up.  Very frustrating,  Just need lunch meat for Cinder & I.  Might need JR to get some for us.  Have to take him to McPherson this week about his cellphone bill.  Oh well. I will manage. I have time on saturday but I will be out by then.

    Cinder scared me big time today.  I got up & she had not been in the bedroom for a long time.  I fed Daisy, fixed my lunch & turned the TV on.  No Cinder.  I finally called for her.  No Cinder.  I called for a long, long time.  She finally came crawling out from the front of the house.  She came to cuddle for a long time.  And she close since then.

    A good friend is in Italy this week.  Lucky him.  He is sharing wherever they eat & city street scenes.  As close to traveling I will get.  I would enjoy just to get to Great Bend.  Ha.  Not going to happen.  Only if I go alone.

Willie & I at Mom's house.  No idea why.

Willie & his best friend had a combine they entered in demolition derbies.  And won often.  They won the one at the Kansas State Fair.  Very exciting.  Photo from the 100th anniversay of Falun & Willie driving our combine in our parade.  He is pointing to someone. Click on the photo to see who it is.  An unknown photographer.

Fairbury Nebraska.  Nice city.  There was a birthday & a wedding.  Back when I was part that family.  Miss those days.

Youngest great grandson!! Growing up!!!

This s what happens to a dala horse in a hot day of 108F.

Today's Name Day:  Marta

I had an Aunt Marth.  Only Marta I have known.

    Today was just another day at home alone.  It never changes.  You could not pay me to go anywhere today.  My eyes could not imagine what I was seeing today.  Our high was 108F!!!  There was a town in Kansas that hit 110F.  Don't remember where.  House stayed livable.  It was ok.  Feels chilly at nigh but letting the refuse to let the entire house heat up & now cool the next day.  That was an awful day.

    Only communication was an email from JL.  Nada from anyone else.

    Feeling ok today.  Knee is pretty good.  Sleep was better last night.  Blood sugar is ok.  Eating a bit less now.  But I check during the night.

    Nothing else to say.  Will do my photos.

Me in grade school & a Swedish costume.  Mom made it.

Me working at a pie sale.  Only did it once,  Too hot to be outside.
