Love this photo!!

Today's Name Day:   Jennifer, Jenny

In my box of fotos there are several of a childhood friend named Jennifer.  Wish I still knew her.  No idea where she is.  No one knows.  Unfortunately my last daughter-in-law is Jennifer.  I think many problems with my kids all started with her & her greediness.  The worker at Bethany Home who always drove Mom & I to Salina & Wichita to doctor's appointment.  She is a special person.  I see her in town once in a while.  She was & is a blessing.

    I woke up early today & my first thought was "work".  I thought I had another hour to sleep.  Then it hit me ----- Monday!!! No work!!  Very cool.  Back to bed!!

    Had a little rain today ----- 0.38".  Our usual nothing.  Stayed cloudy & cool.  I just turned my heat on.  Feeling better.

    After moving the box of photos out of one of the cats' nests they both laid in bed with me to nap today.  They will survive.  Several other nests remain.

    Not much communication today.  MM is working & has texted me several times.  His boys are back in Wichita.  I fear for them the neighbourhood they live in.  Got my one photo a day from CF.  Little communication.

    I have a doctor appointment this week but am cancelling it.  Will reschedule it.  Just too tired. 

    I wanted a collage app on my laptop.  I finally found a free one that works fine.

    Not happy with the weatherman.  Loving the cooler weather but he is all excited that the 80s are returning this weekend.  😫. But not for many days. Then more 60s & 70s.  😀

    I have mail on my porch to bring in but after supper.

    Fotos are seasonal today.

 

Made a collage of Kisse & Cinder in boxes.  "If I fit, I sit."

Today's Name Day:  Bror

Have a good friend in Sweden who kept the name bror for his last name --- Brorson.  Bror means brother.

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  Worked this afternoon,  I work one more saturday then I am off until next january.  Going to have to go in just to sit & people watch.  Will sure miss being there.  Holiday open house with gifts to buy for the holiday.  I cannot do that.  Neither can MH.  We both are off for a couple of months.

    Yesterday I was busy but today was quiet.  Had a total of 6 visitors.  One friend did stay to chat for a while.  Nice.  But I had things I brought with me to work to occupy my time.

    Warm again & windy again.  Better than yesterday.  Mid afternoon a huge group of bicyclists went down Main Street.  Wish I had known & had my camera ready.  Missed them.

    I saw MM on a sidewalk near the Main & Lincoln corner.  He saw me & walked down to my car to visit.  Nice.

    Last night MM & CW sent me a photo of them together with the message "We love you".  I got tears.  They are now my iPhone wallpaper.  Thought MM might would have a tear also!!  The 3 of us do love each other.

    Supper tonight was pizza at Pizza Hut.  Odd my stomache has felt good for several days.  I am enjoying it.  Dessert was a small ice cream.  So habit forming!!!!

    Fotos are mostly autumn.  Plus some really old fotos of me as a young child. And one nice one of Willie & I.  😊

    On the way home I saw lightning to the north & south.  Sort of backed off right now.  Cooler tomorrow.

          

I am in the middle with 2 friends. Jennifer Ditch lived across the alley from me in the old hospital apartment house,  Verdell Purkey lived next door in the upstairs apartment.  She was my best friend until they moved.

Nice group shot.  Larry & Linda Strahan were twins.  She played with us sometimes.  Norman Fahrer had a brother in my class named Wally.  Their father was a professor at Bethany College.  Wally is a pastor in England now.  Lynn Hafphermel was a bright red head,  He was murdered when college age.  Too young.  Jennifer Ditch & her little brother Timmy lived across the alley from me.

Willie & I at Mom's house after my high school graduation. You can see Mom in the background.  A really good photo of us.  There are so few,  I get tears looking at this photo.  We were married soon after I graduated,

This is Lindsborg KS but no idea what is going on.  I can zoom in to see some of the businesses names.  Cool photo.

                                     

10/2025 - Sábado the 04th - MY JOURNEY

Cool graphic of me in many places in town.

Today's Name Day:  Frank, Frans

I had a Frank in my class in school who was my Swedish dance partner.  His father was also Frank & and a sculpturer.  I had a couple of other school friends named Frank.

    Had a cousin name ∂Frans.  He was also a neighbour.  His daughter & I were best friends for many years.

    Had a good day.  Slept good & made it to work ok.  Today was warm with strong winds.  The leaves were totally out of control!!!  I saw a pile of them shoot straight up in the air!!

    Lots of people walking around town.  And quite a few stopped in to see our show.  Nice.

    One girl who came in was from Florida & her family was from Stockholm Sweden.  We had a great visit.  I got soooo hemlängtan (home sick) talking to her.  Lots of fun.

    Our show this month are Swedish costumes, especially ones worn by our Swedish queens & kings of the Hyllningsfest.  I got all my photos taken & in an album.  Tomorrow I can read what is written about each one.

    Did get some bad news.  November is our Christmas gift sales event.  I don't do selling other than an occasional book.  So I get November off.  Probably December too  So does MH.  He does not sell anything either.  Makes me sad.  Will miss being there.  😥  Hope January goes back to normal.  Maybe they don't want me anymore.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Had a great visit with 2 of the wait staff.   I have now learned to say "I had a busy day".  Dia ocupado.  Fun talking to them.

    Dessert was ice cream and then groceries.

    On the way home I was pushing buttons on my steering wheel..  And odd button appeared under the box of where my cruise control used to show up.  And it stayed.  Soooooo.  I pushed a speed choice & voila!!!  My cruise works!!!  I wonder if my battery was so bad that my car software did not update.  And now it has.  Great!!! I called MM to tell him.  He sounded relieved.  Me too!!!

    MM & CW are at the Öl Stuga where a musician is performing.  They sent me a photo of them together telling me they love me.  Perfect end to my day.  I am always surprised when someone picks me to love/like.  But loving it too!!!

    I am awaiting Saturday Night Live.  Will be a great show!!  Bad Bunny is the host.  Love him.

    Photos are mostly autumn.

My supper --- carne asada.

Muffin.

Kansas prairie clouds.
