9/2026 - Friday the 25th - MY JOURNEY



This photo always makes me cry.  What a loss for our town.


Today's Name Day:  Tryggve


    Today was a good day.  The night was so-so.  Trouble sleeping.  Then rain started. Heavy for a while.
    Met LL for lunch at the White Peacock.  Tried a new sandwich ---- Det Bäste.  Means "the best".  Forget what kind of bread but the meat was turkey, bacon, ham, & lingonberries.  Excellent.  Next time they can skip the turkey & add another slice of bacon.
    I ordered a new purse that looked roomier.  It is.  Holds all that is important & feels lighter.  And I look better than with it than with the old purse.
    I was just out to check on Daisy.  It is raining & I can see lightning & hear thunder.  Hope it scares the wildlife away.  Might be too wet for Daisy to go under the house.  Porch is better.  Or under the car.
    Work was ok.  On my last Grondal group of photos.  Next are different photographers.  Had some cool photos today.  Names or greetings on the back of a few.  Fun.  One was taken around 1922.
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  It was quiet for a while.  Then a huge crowd appeared.
    Last night my left eye got super painful in bed. No idea why,  I found some eye drops.  Sort of helped.  Briefly,  This afternoon at work it got really painful & hard to see.  And got worse after eating supper.  I just wanted to leave.  JR was clueless to my pain.  I was all ready to leave.  When we left I was able to get home before I started crying.  All alone with Daisy. A quien le importa.  Always alone with no one for support or caring.  Fighting tears again now.  I ordered my usual eye drops.  Get here tomorrow.  Will try to do laundry tomorrow.  Pain or no pain.  I have some trash that really needs to be carried out.  Maybe.  See how much pain I have.  A quien le importa.
    Hope it rains all night,  Large radar area of rain,  I can dream.
    Found some old photos of me.  Sharing.

This is in our house that burned down.  I can guarantee this cake was not for me.  I never got a cake in my adult life until José became my friend.  My mom-in-law celebrated everyone's birthday but never mine.

A celebration at a the Red Barn.  An artist carved this indian.  It was cool.

This is not my hair.  Just the style early in my marriage.  A hair piece ---- a "fall"".  I had it fixed for me.

I have no clue where I am.  Do not remember this  jacket.  A long time ago!

Easter as a child. 1956.

Easter as a child. Maybe at Boppa's.









Desk at work

Me working at the Mill

Storage areas in buildings at the Mill are being cleared out & stored somewhere else.  Love the bird.  On the steps to the basement

9/2026 - Thursday the 24th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Gerhard, Gert 
I had a great uncle whose name was Gerhard.  In Sweden a friend's mom is named Gert.  Think there is a middle name also.  Nice family & farm.

     Today was a so-so day.  Trouble sleeping.  I had something on my mind so I finally got up & created what I wanted.  Then I could relax & sleep.  Fell asleep around 5am.  Slept until noon.  No nap today.
    I had a great dream this morning.  I hated to leave it.  Lots of familiar things & people in it.  I think I knew the people in my dream.
    Blood sugar is a problem again.  Running too low often.  So I lowered my insulin today by 1.  Now too high.  Grrrrr.  I cannot win.   I sort of eat the same amount of food at meals.
    Had one period of rain & thunder this morning.  Now I got a notice rain is approaching again  See if we actually get some more rain.  So far today I have had about half an inch.  LBK much less than that.  Not half an inch at all.
    TV is ok tonight.  Josh Gates is on.  Reruns of him are much better than anything on the usual 3 channels.  All their shows are the same --- blood & guts, shootings, just stupidity.  Never watch.  They insult my intelligence.
    Saw MM at his house.  Long visit.  Miss seeing him more often.  He has been sick with an infection.  Better finally.  Been a couple of weeks.
    I am worthy today.  Finally.  I have given all I can but no one ever gives to me.  I am always on the short end of getting.  It has to quit before I run out of money.  I really cannot go back to work for money.  I am not able.  I hope my receivers get that figured out.  A quien le importa.  Por supuesto que si.
    Need to check on Daisy.  Make sure she has water & food.  I might let her just walk in the house as I get it all ready.  Little steps.  I want her to come in.  Need to show her the litter pans.  May need a third one somewhere.  I hope they can all get along.  Please, angels??!!
    Had a special welcoming when I got home.  He is my lead photo.  Only one.  Did not see the other one.  Made my day!!!  All in all, a good day.

Old, scary clouds

I think these are Showy Tick-trefoil.  They bloom after we have rain.  Today the first I have seen them.

Sunflowers & Queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot.  We have thousands & thousands growing & blooming this year.
