Today's Name Day:  Harriet , Harry

I was in a school with a Harry.  He was a couple of years older.  When I worked at the hospital our chaplain was Harry.  The best!!  When I went to church with Mom & Dad with we sat with a sweet lady named Harriet.  Mom had a friend named Harriet.  Both are nice names of nice people.

    Today was ok.  No energy.  Email from JL.  Spent today just resting.  Boring blog today.

    Warmer today with high winds.  Still blowing at around 25mph.  Our low was 63F. Our high was 90F.  Rain starts around tuesday then cooler.  No complaints from me.

    Got a photo from AN.  She is delivering fuel to the field.  KN is planting crops.  I was never good enough to do that.  I only did food & helping moving equipment from one field to another.  I hauled the crew.  I miss those days.  And the people who worked for us.

    Hard for me to have no human contact but my cats sure try.  Daisy follows me everywhere.  She tried to go outside yesterday.  I managed to grab her & then I almost fell.  I am scared she would go & not come back.  Too many scary animals outside.

    Watching the end of a foot ball game.  Do not like it.  The players are all tough acting & almost violent.  I prefer soccer where the players are pleasant & seem happy at plays.  No violence.  Although I have seen some get upset.  I did see the end of a soccer match before my nap.

    Friends in Sweden took a trip.  Loved their photos.  Cool trip.  Glad for them but sad for me.  I cannot go anywhere.  No one to travel with & no one to help me travel.  Getting older & alone is no fun.  I am jealous of friends who have kids & grandkids & friends.  Had a long conversation with a friend who recently lost a family member but he has so many others.  I am not so lucky.

    Finally.  Foot ball is over.  And one of my shows is back on.  Life is good.

    Need to eat supper.  Nothing sounds good.  Maybe peanut butter & jelly sandwich.  Then Spanish lesson.

Back from my days feeding birds.  I enjoyed those days.

We used to have lots of turkeys around our yard.  They loved the wheat in our yard after harvest.  Miss them.

Daisy is watching a soccer match.  She really was focused on it for a while.

Nico & all his babies.

10/2026 - Friday the 9th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day:  Ingrid , Inger

I knew many women with named Ingrid.  And I was i in school with at least one Ingrid.

    Today was an ok day.  I slept good.  Felt pretty good.  Even got a short afternoon nap.  Daisy sensed I was headed to the bedroom.  She sensed & sat down & stared at me.  Then she took off leading me to the bedroom.  And snuggled for a short time.  We were joined by Cinder & Kisse.

    Supper was at Jalisco's with my good friend RG.  Our goodbye supper.  I always miss him. We have good conversations!!

    Weather was nice today..  Low was 59F.  Our high was 89F.  No rain  until tuesday & wednesday & cooler temps.  I am ready.

    Had a nice visit with the leader of our Swedish group in Jalisco's.  See them there often.  The Swedish group toured a museum this morning.  I skipped since I cannot walk that much.  Will make it next week.

    I hope life is normal next week ---- no broken house parts,  less pain for me,  no missing work, a. good week ----  would be heaven.

    Photos tonight are a mix of drawings, family stuff, autumn pictures.

Our cattle with an autumn design

Nico napping & possibly watching a scary Halloween movie!!!

Love this photo of Nico.

Bill, Willie, me, Nicole back when our family was normal.

Fire that burned our home.  It was totally my fault. Totally changed our lives.  Not for the better.  And I found out who really cared about us.  Or at least Willie.

Nicole on my dad, Bill behind my parents, Mom.  Where are they when I need them??

And not share.

My New Zealand cousins.  Her name was Raewyne Nordstrom.  Peter was first name.  He died in Oct. 1922.  His father was from Sweden & his mom was from Ireland.  I got to meet them in Colby.  They were here to coach a teenage rugby team but it snowed.  They met me instead.  Nice people.  I was honored to be blessed with meeting them.

Me & Peter.  He taught & coached at a college. He was a rugby coach.  And had played it.

Trip to Marion KS.  Think this is a church or courthouse.

Our favorite eating place.  That is JR & I ate here often,.  We were shopping in town.

A wonderful old old hotel in Marion.  They have fun weekends planned.  If I only friends to attend with.
