National Pastry Day
Name Day is Anna
Quiet day for me today. Nico let me sleep fairly good.
We had mist/rain around bedtime last night. Did not amount to much.
Today in Lindsborg is an annual Christmas celebration. There is Swedish dancing, pancakes for breakfast, many things at the Old Mill, singing, crowning Lucia, etc.
Many years ago a great friend Matthys from South Africa would come to this country & work all summer. He wanted to come to my town for a festival, We spent the entire day in Lindsborg, We watched dancing. Took a photo of him with a couple of the dancers, Went to Lucia, We ate homemade spaghetti. Spent lots of time at the Mill. Attended a talk from a Tomte while Santa tried to get in & had to watch from a window, Attended a concert of Christmas music. In the evening we went to the college to watch The Nutcracker ballet. It was a perfect day. Willie would have never done anything like that, Not even to make me happy. Matthys & I are no longer as close friends as we were. Life got in the way. But we had one perfect day.
Weather is in the 50s. Calm early morning then increased closer to noon. The pond was gorgeous with the sun & wind. You could have probably surfed in it!!!
I had a brief dream of walking with my all time best friend who died several years ago. Pete. Nice to "see" him healthy & with me. I have never quit missing him.
My neighbor to the north has parked a tractor in his yard near the road, There are Christmas lights on it. Got photos last night, Will share tomorrow. It is very cool.
No nap today. Kept busy. Nico slept off & on, Did not cause any trouble,
Wish I had been in town for the festivities, Would be fun. But no fun to go alone & I cannot walk or stand much, I should try but I don't. I get too upset, Cried most of the way home last night, I cry looking at Nico, Not a good year for holidays. Or for me.
Photos today are winter ones. I am wanting snow,
