Today's Name Day: Karin , Kajsa

We had a Border Collie name Kajsa. Sweet dog, I have known severak Karins --- a cousin or two, classmates

Today. was a great work day. Many visitors. They all knew the artist, They all went to college in Hays KS. Where they all met. Fun day. Some artists I know. Fun to reconnect. Lots of visiting.

Had a famous director/producer came in & we had a great visit. Known him for many years. He made a movie in LBK in 1999 called Au Pair. The crew & actors all lived & ate at Bethany College. He is retired now & lives in Kansas, Making another movie next year. Fun.

We don't really want to eat at Pizza Hut. Bad things have happened there to a good friend of mine. But tonight China was open. Great food. They were very busy, Good to see, I tasted what JR ordered, Will order it next time. Really good!!! Great weekend!!

There is one piece of art in this show that is "alive!" It is round & in a covered dish. Every few days the artist uncovers it to sprinkle water on it,

The artist came in as we were closing, Great to meet her. I plan to work next friday then I can read all about her art.

Slept good last night. About time!! Weather nice today. Lots of people in town,

While we were eating a man walked in & I was sure I knew him, And I did, Close friend, Got a nice hug, And visit, We must meet for lunch soon. Miss him. Nice ending to my day.

MM & my good friend I saw while eating supper. CW. Two good friends,

The house is so chilly, I tried to leave it warmer today but it is not working. Same yesterday. I turned it clear off yesterday. Helped.

Daisy was waiting for me when I got home. Love her & that she knows my car. Sometimes Cinder is waiting in the house also. Last night Kisse was racing all over the house. No idea why. She is crazy!!

Looks like Nico!!!

8/2026 - Saturday the 1st- MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Per

I have a cousin in Sweden name Per. Full name is Per Ola. I have met him. Nice guy.

Today went better than I expected. Last night I was reading email around 4am. And yikes!! I saw I worked this weekend. I quickly texted MH to open & close for me. Luckily answered right away. I had a hard time to sleep after that. I kept changing my alarm time. I got up much too late but I got me dressed & fed, the cats fed & Daisy fed. I got more food today so Daisy is ok now. And I got more V8 Energy drink for me., We all are ok now.

I am tired of trash in my yard. There is a guy who cleans up messes. I will gladly pay him to drive out here, Might have to call him this week & see what he says. Makes my stress so bad.

Work was good. Had a long time artist friend come in to work.. She is now 92. She lived in a nice house here for many years. Her house was where my great great grandmother lived &. my great grand mother lived there at the same time. She gave me a room by room & floor by floor tour once. Only time I ever got in there like that. Her name is Mary Erickson. Great artist. Got to know her & her husband quite well. Such nice people,

This week we vote. And I have an xray on the same day. Tired. of being busy, Need some days off, Not this week, Think the next week dr, appointmet in Hutch

Had our yearly old car show today. I borrowed on grouping of photos from a friend to share here. I never go. Especially when I have trouble walking.

Not too warm today. Nice out. Work was busy. Lots of people in & out. Kept me awake. Had 2 fun people that came in. No rain in the next couple of days. There are a couple of days that are maybes.

7/2026 - Friday the 31st- MY JOURNEY

Olive Garden

Today's Name Day; Elin , Helena

Had a cousin named Ellen Jewel. She was a model at one time. Knew several Helens. I think Tiger Wood's wife was Elin, Love that name.

Today was a good day but busy. And it kept me awake a lot last night. Really stressed.

I was up a bit early. Got busy with feeding all my cats, scooping poo, dressing me.

First stop was one bank in LBK. I had money to move to a Salina bank. Then picked up JR. And off to Salina.

Went to a bank in Salina. Across the street was JR's cellphone company. They were a mess with his phone. Threatened to end his phone. Said my credit card was not working. Only one I have. It does work all the time. Two places had trouble getting it to work & then it did. Go figure. I do not like where he gets his phone. But they got him straighened out. Hope all is ok now. I did not go to work. I made JR the problem needing a ride to Salina!! 😀 To go across the street I had to drive several blocks.

There was a girl sitting & waiting for her phone. I have learned not to judge anyone, She was a bit overweight. Turned out she was so nice! And we knew someone she is related to on FB. Great conversation! Glad to have met her. Made the time speed by.

Next we had supper. JR never has an opinion. But he knew I liked Olive Garden & we had not been there for a long time. I love their salmon. Awesome.. Must go back soon.

Then took JR home then me. Daisy now knows my car. She heard me & was sitting on my bench waiting for me.

Came in & did my Spanish & now my blog. Ready to lay in bed & rest. Heard from MM early today. No body else.
