09/2025 - Sábado the 20th - MY JOURNEY

 

I took this photos at dusk one day.  The tank is no longer here.  Moved to KN's land.  Miss it.

 

Today's Name Day:  Elise, Lisa

My great grandmother's middle name was Elise. As in Emma Elise Nordström Sjögren.  Love the name.  Known several Lisa's.  One from near me & a friend just passed away.

    Had a better day.  I slept last night until noon today.  Except MM called me at 930am to tell me his plans for today.  He is having a great day.  Then I went back to sleep.

    Blood sugar is too high today.  Odd.  No happy medium.  I have boxes of insulin that are old but not outdated.  I think maybe no good.  I will go on monday to get my refills & see if that helps.  I have one new box & will switch to it for supper.  I should not be as high as I am now.

    After lunch I took a revitalizing shower & shampoo.  Feel & look better.  Nice having a hair cut that is so easy to style.  Thanks Henry!!!

    I am craving either fried chicken or a real breakfast ---- bacon, eggs, toast, juice.  If I had the energy I would be headed to Salina for one or the other.  Same old stuff here.  Tired of it.  Maybe next week I can go to Salina at noon to get one or the other.

    MM took a trip to Marquette to see all the motorcycles in town for a celebration.  There is a motorcycle museum in town there.  Sent many photos to me.  Fun!!!  Then he works again today.  CW texted to check on me last night.  Told him I would let him know how I was today.  He is working.

    Tonight in Lindsborg is a street dance.  I never go anymore.  No need to go to sit alone with no one to talk to or enjoy with.  JR would be too busy with his camera to talk to me.

    No rain overnight but cooler today.  Had the AC set wrong & got too chilly this afternoon.  Changed it & added a bit of heat from my room heater.  Feeling much better.

    Had a good potato soup last night for supper.  I was scared it would upset my stomach.  It waited until today.  Won't reorder.  😥  Dang.  I cannot win.

    Tomorrow is my granddaughter's birthday.  My son's girl.  She & her brother & I are not allowed to see or talk to each other.  Been sitting here crying this afternoon.  Most people do not care how I feel.  All I did was set boundaries to protect my life & income.  So I get screwed.  Of course.  Not fair for them or me.  Won't argue.  Terrified of my son & my daughter.  Almost had to call the sheriff when it happened. Not good people.  Did not raise them to be so bad.

    Photos are some very old photos or post cards of Lindsborg.  Cool.  I will explain what they are or were.  And some autumn photos.  Nice.  Hope summer is now long gone.  Bye bye!!

    Feel sorry whoever works at the Öl Stuga on street dance night.  It will be a freaking mess!!  Hope tips are big!!!

The old Fox theatre in Salina.  Has been restored & renamed.  Used to go to movies there & sit in the balcony,  Now it is a concert venue.

Old photo of Lindsborg's Main Street looking north,  My church was not even built then

View of Lindsborg from the Old Mill.

Lindsborg views.  Old Main on the college campus.  Torn down,  My grade school.  Torn down,  Ling auditorium.  All wood & burned down,  Statue of Carl Aaron Swensson.  Still on campus.  Main street.

Overview of Lindsborg.  Can see the Coop, train tracks, swimming pool, downtown & my church.

The Train's are my family. This building sat in the alley west of Main Street.  They touched my grandfather's yard to their west,  They sold ice blocks for old refrigerators, produce ---- eggs & chickens, and whatever,  Mom remembers chickens would escape & get in their yard.  She was scared of them!!! ; As a small child I remember seeing trucks loading ice blocks to deliver,  Building torn down years ago.

Shows different parts of Lindsborg --- both mills, Messiah chorus, Bethany College, wheat land & art.  Only my Mill remains.  The other one long gone,  Chorus building burned down before I was born.  College builings are both gone.  First one was the Carnegie Library.  It got mold in the books.  Old Main was torn down but those who are now sorry.  Many wheat fields around us still.

Corner building on Main Street in 1880s that has been a bank, store, dentist office, several bars.  Used to have a black clock hanging on the corner of it.  Now it is the Sale BARn where I love to eat.

In my heart always.  Could not survive without them.  Always missing Nico.
