3/2026 - Fredag den 27:e - MY JOURNEY

I am not in a spring mood but I am always in a poppy mood.  Have to see in they are blooming yet.

Today's Name Day:  Ralf,  Rudolf

Known one local Rudolf.

    Not a good day.  Little sleep due to severe cramps in my feet.  Right one is always worse.  I have a pharmacy full of lotions, creams, liquids for helping to prevent them.  They all failed last night.  Had trouble walking.  Cancelled the entire day.  I just rested.  Mid afternoon it was resolved.  Finally.

    Much cooler today.  It is 59 now.  Probably our high.  I felt cold overnight.  My feet are cold often when I go to bed.  I put on sock & pulled my weighted blanket.  Both helped.

    Strong winds here again with a fire warning,  Same for tomorrow.

    Emailing JL today.  I enjoying being connected to her.  Had one comment from MM.  About him, not me.

    I got sort of upset last night.  MM shared a photo of him & another friend.  I miss them both but they do not have much time, if any, for me.  Made me cry.  Still feeling left out.  Being alone is not easy or healthy.

    Pictures are all from different artists.  Names are posted.  And photos from a trip to Yoder KS.  It is an Amish town with the best restaurant.  I am dying to go there again.  LL is always busy & JR always tired.  Oh well.

Yoder KS

Yoder KS.  An Amish town.  They do not drive cars, only horse & buggies.  And they make buggies there in town.  One shop in town has all the old old toys but they are newly produced.  And more than toys.

Yoder KS.  My meal there was a hot beef sandwich.

Yoder KS.  My dessert was pie.  Lemon cream pie.  Willie's favorite.  It was yummy.

Yoder KS.   The restaurant.

Yoder KS. 

My grandparents.  Mimi & Boppa.  That is what I called them. She died when I was 3 years old.  Once she was gone the younger grandkids renamed them. Only Mimi & Boppa to me. 😞

12/2025 - Martes the 09th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Anna

My middle name is Ann.  Sometimes I use the name Juliana.  Or Julie-Ann to make it more Swedish.  Family or friends in Sweden named Anna.

    Blogging early today.  Seems like the world is ignoring me.  Had an email or two & one text.  I am ignoring FB.  Not posting hardly anything.  Used to getting ignored.  Makes me sad though..

    Today is my grandfather's birthday.  He would have been 183 years old.  I called him Boppa & a few younger cousins might have too but only because of their mom.  Real name was Howard.  Most never called. used that name.

I remember him well.  Not a really loving grandpa.  But he did things for me my parents would not but they never told me.  Other relatives did when I was an adult.

    It is 63F now.  Too damn warm.  Have black flies in my bedroom.  Sick of them.  I must find a way to keep them out.  Not sure how.  I thought I had help with that but I now know it is not going to happen.  As usual I am left out & forgotten.  And no one cares or remembers.

    Will be colder tomorrow.  Stupid weather has me in pain.  I will tough it out tomorrow.  Skip supper if I have to.

    Cinder must be in the bedroom napping.  Kisse by the TV.  Cinder has curled up on me several times.  Need to check on the mail. too.

    Photos are seasonal.  Tried to pick unique ones.  Not sure anyone cares.  Or even reads my blog.  Being ignored does me no good.  Hard feelings for me.

  

Fun photo!!!

A fave photo.  Comes up yearly!!

This is a local man who makes a wonderful Santa.  His aunt made his costume.  He died within the last year,  Buried near Willie.  I talk to him also.  He was a distant relative of mine.  Fun guy!!!
