6/2026 - Thursday the 11th - MY JOURNEY

 

I stayed in Järvsö with family when I was in Sweden.  Awesome area.  A different family took me over the wonderful bridge & a short tour of Danmark.

Today's Name Day:  Bertil , Berthold

I had one relative with the first name of Bertil.  He passed away in the last couple of years.  And another relative had a middle name of Berthold.  A generation ago or so.  Good Swedish names.

    Today turned out to be a good day.  Last night was an ok night.  Kisse slept with me for several hours.  Cinder was nearby.  And would walk over to check on me often.

    Best thing about last night was we got no storms.  Two near counties had bad weather & a county east of Salina had bad weather.  Sorry for them.  Thrilled for us.

    Daisy had no where to hide.  I went out to feed her at bed time & there was another cat up eating.  It ran away.  I know which one it is.  Attractive cat.  Think maybe a female but not sure.

    Ate lunch at the Öl Stuga today.  There was to be 3 of us but one did not make it.  We had a really nice waiter.  I know no one there anymore.

    After lunch I had time to kill.  Picked up groceries at 3pm.  What awesome foods I ordered.  Great stuff I had not seen in a year or so.  Good I order my own. And get what I like.  And get money back on my credit card instead of losing money all the time.  Supper will be extra good.  Buying mac & cheese that is not a tv dinner is 100% better.  I tasted it when I got home.  Great taste & cold not hot.

    Lindsborg was full of huge bunches of tree limbs wherever I drove.  The Old Mill had some minor damage on the mill itself that is being fixed.  We were lucky.  When everyone has electricity again the city will start picking up tree limbs if you have them piled by the curb.

    I took a very short nap.  While napping a friend sent out a notice to watch CH12 6pm news.  I made sure I did.  He was interviewed by the news staff at the Salina River Festival.  Cool!!!  He is performing there on stage.  Wish I was there.  Have to see him in town when he sings.  Nice guy!! Talented!  Working so hard to succeed.

    My wifi got messed up again.  I wonder if my electricity flickered or something.  And a note from Verizon that they are updating software.  So it is flackey again.

    Sorry for a few drawings that no one likes.  I apologise.

I am guilty of this.  Trying to please everyone but me.

6/2026 - Wednesday the 10th - MY JOURNEY

 

Having a Black Cow would be awesome.  Root beer, ice cream & chocolate sauce.

Today's Name Day:  Svante , Boris

The only Boris I know was the actor.

    Today was not the best.  Had trouble walking from pain.  Could not walk down basement steps safely.  No work.  And no sleep.

    Mail delivered just as it was Daisy's lunch time.  She was hidden good. I put food out assuming she would find it.  She did not.  Got it later.

    I was really suprised just now.  Needed to go to my mailbox & trash had been picked up.  Only 2 days late.  But maybe their office had no electricity in Salina that prevented them from working making charges.  Who knows.

    Just got word that the River Festival is on for this weekend.  The park now has electricity.  Great for Salina.  I never used to miss the festival.  Looked at all art & sometimes bought a piece of it or a piece of jewelry.  Watched musical groups.  People watched.  Had BBQ for lunch & a dessert.  But the "friend" I went with is no longer a friend.  She should not have been then either.  Glad it is over.  Alone is better.  I guess but I miss some of our activities.

    I was out of some cat food but found a box of it delivered on my porch.  Thank goodness.  Great.  Cats will be grateful.

    High temp today was 96F at my house.  Severe storms again here.  Round #3.  At least 2 more rounds forecast.

    Just me & the cats today.  Communication is quiet.  Only my coworker wrote when I called in sick.  Cats are my support group.  

    I miss sharing my drawing photos but no one likes them so I look but don't share.  I only want to please others.           

Daisy.

Daisy.

I do know this quite well.  Need to protect me.  The cats can only do so much.

Love these photos.  Snapped them during a couple of videos today.
