5/2026 - Wednesday 13th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Linn , Linnea
Lynn was a boy I grew up with for a few years.  He had gorgeous red hair!! Linnea is a wild flower in Sweden.  Love them.  I have a young cousin in Denver named Linnea.  She is sweet!


    Today was the best day ever!!!!  I did not want to go home from work!!!  LL told me last night she had something for me at work.  It never dawned on me what it could be.  But I did guess right.  I got a new scanner.  A huge scanner so I can scan huge pictures.  Very cool.  Our IT team dialed in around 2pm to connect it to our stuff our software.
    It took me a long time to figure out how to get scanned photos to the album I wanted,  I am sure there is an easier way but once I could do it "my" way I just went for it,  On saturday I will work at fixing that.  Too nervous to try to day.
    Not quite as warm today.  I had a bench on the porch at the Old Mill that got moved for Mill Fest.  Someone was supposed to move it back where it came from for me but it never got done.  But today I met out cleaning/gardening lady on the porch.  She moved the bench for me & then we sat for a 5 minute break & chat!!  Nice!!  I like sitting on it if my back is tired or to warm up from the cold basement,  And to sit to take photos from the porch.
    I got lots of photos done this afternoon.  It was fun.  Photos are of little kids but no photographer listed.  I have posted some on Lindsborg Nostalgia & people actually like them.  Odd but nice.  I hope someone from this generation will recognise them.
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  I splurged with carnitas & a small ice cream. I usually have diet soda but tonight I had a strawberry Mexican soda.  Lordy was that good.
    Stopped at the grocery store for Cinder & I.  Now we are good for a while.
    Got my Spanish lesson done.  I will work on it until I am tired.  If I move down a level I no longer care.  Tired of my entire evening being just spanish.  I like other things too.  So now I am here.
    I did some searching for info on my grandmother Mimi.  Learned some interesting stuff.  I know she taught at a one room school house.  I had the name ---- Maple Grove ---- but not where it was located.  Google knew. She taught in 1916.  You could teach as long as you were not married.  She taught at age 19.  She got married in 1916 also.  I assume she taught for a year then got married.  No more career.
    Slight chance of rain tomorrow.  Not affecting me yet.  Today I have been able to straighten my left leg.  Cool. Walked better.  But my hands are killing me.  they have for days.  Ugh.

5/2026 - Tuesday 12th - MY JOURNEY




Today's Name Day:  Lotta , Charlotta
I have a friend named Charlotte.  And a special cousin named Charlotte.  She has passed away & I miss her & her wonderful sense of humor.

    Today was a good day.  Up earlier than usual.  First thing was a shampoo & style.  Then lunch.  Then Cinder & I took a long nap..  Kisse did also but no idea where she was.  Hiding somewhere.  I told Cinder she was in charge!!!
    Got dressed & tried to look presentable then off to town.  Took flower photos in my driveway.  Then on to Jalisco's for supper.  I ate most of it.
    After eating it was my historical group's board meeting.  It was actually fun today.  I did not feel so left out.
    The program tonight at our meeting was done by a friend of mine & another person.  They talked about women & Bethany College from the beginning.  Very interesting.  I enjoyed it.  And someone even made an effort to sit next to me.  That is rare.  I did not try to get a drink & a plate of treats carrying cane.  Someone did offer to get them for me but I decided my BS was probably too high.
    I removed my glucose sensor today.  It just had a few hours to go.  I wonder how many weeks before I get new ones?  They texted me last week & said I could get new ones.  But today they are talking to my doctor to check to make sure my insurance covers them.  Sheesh.  Nothing has changed.  They asked if I had a 2 week supply of them & I said no.  So here I sit.  sticking my finger.
    Much warmer today.  I saw 91 this afternoon.  Ick.  One weather place says storms on thursday.  TV says storms this weekend.  Who knows??
    I cancelled my monday doctor app't.  Scheduled oil change for monday afternoon.  And lunch out on thursday & coffee after lunch.
    Got a card in the mail today from JL.  I loved it!!!  So funny!!  Made my day!!!
    Trash picked up today.  And they put the bins back where I had them.  Amazing.  KN has to arrange them like I like but no hurry.  Makes life so much easier for me.  That in itself is rare.
    LL told me tonight at our board meeting she has something for me at work tomorrow.  OMG!!! Could it be???  Might it be???  A new scanner?!!!  Now I am excited.  Probably only cookies or something.  I will report tomorrow.





























And we still have the chair she is sitting on.
