Sweden's National Day.  It used to be sort of ignored but that has changed.  I am glad.  Be fun to be there.

Today's Name Day:  Gösta, Gustav

    Today was a good day.  I skipped my Swedish Friendship Group.  Did not want to push myself.

    Lunch was with LL at the White Peacock.  It was too busy.  Could not get the table we wanted.  There was a computer sitting on it, coffee cup, etc.  No person.  No idea where he was but not in the coffee shop.  Much later he slowly walked in the front door.  HUH???  If you are leaving the business take your stuff so there is room for other people to sit.  How rude.  I would never just leave a laptop sitting alone in public.  We are a truly rude people in this country.

    Then this afternoon some twit made a comment about the Peacock how disappointed she is that they are participating in some Pride events,  She was promptly banned from our group & her comment deleted,  Guess she is not smart enough to realise how many Pride folks are or still are in the military.  Good to be rid of her.  I have started deleted any comment that is rude,  Grow up & be an adult,

    I have had many gay, etc. friends & Hispanic friends.  Not one of them have hurt me or been rude,  White people and/or family have hurt me repeatedly.  I prefer to be in mixed company.

    I walked in for lunch with ZR from the Stuga.  Then SB head of the newspaper came in.  We had a nice visit.  I try to always tell him when I like what he writes & to let him know if who or what he writes about is connected to me.  Plus a nice visit with MH.  That is the best.

    While we ate, I got 1/4" of rain at home.  What a shock!!!  Every drop helps.

    Then work at the Old Mill.,  I zoomed through photos today.  Had LL look at photos to check on names.  She & AP were gone for a long time in the afternoon.  A grandson of the original owner stopped in.  How cool!   They were on their way to Colorado.  His granddaughter is with him.  She is an artist. When they come back they will have a painting of the Mill for us.  Awesome.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  A friend was in there so we had a long visit.  The new kitchen worker even waved at  me.  We have never been introduced so that is nice.  He and the lady who helps be a waiter & busses tables are married with 3 kids.  Nice family.

    Took time to buy some groceries but passed on ice cream.  Now home & blogging.

    Got a text from my PA in Hutchinson asking how I am doing.  That made my day.  Nice to know someone cares enough to ask.  Will write her a note this weekend

    Special day in Sweden so I am posting some Swedish photos.  Info about today by the first photo,  Also photos from the White Peacock today.  Love that place.

    Changed the days from Swedish to Spanish.  Will help me.  I am struggling with my lessons.  Painful.
