5/2026 - Saturday 16th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Ronny , Ronald
Lots of Ronnies in my life.  My former best friend's husband was Ronald.  Willie & him grew up together & were best friends for many years.  Raced cars together.  We went to Las Vegas together yearly.  And we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversaries together in Vegas & Hawaii.  Shame she decided that she hated me & ended it all.  They became wealthy & it went to her head.

Have a neighbour named Ronnie.  Friends with my son as kids.  Good friends with JS too.  JS worked for him also.  Still friends.

Went to school with a Ronnie.  We were great dancers together in the 1960s.  Fun.  He was a cool guy.  Died young from cancer.

Had a classmate named Ron or Ronnie.  Not friends in school or now.



    

    Today sure could have been better  Had a really bad night.  Severe pain & hard to walk.  I cancelled today.  There was no way I could walk down the basement steps at work.
    Sometime during the night I got too hot.  Threw my covers off & turned the AC down.  It finally got better.
    I mostly rested today.  Napped on the sofa.  No clue where Kisse was but Cinder was nearby.  She has commandeered a  box she likes to lay on.  Weird.  The light from a lamp shines on it.  Does not put out any heat.
    I have bonded with the kitten today.  She will come & let me pet her.  I even held her breifly.  And she is a she.  I had mail to deal with & she stayed near me.  I am assuming there is no more 6 other kittens or a mom.  Makes me sad.  I am glad one has survived.  And knew I would take care of her.  Have found her laying under my car.  No bueno.  Have to call her before I go anywhere.  Then I usually drive part way down the drive before I put on lipstick, etc.  She does not follow.
    Cannot write much more.  Photos today are many that I have taken in Lindsborg.  Not all.  Will point out which I did not take.

Not ny photo.  But love it!

Not ny photo.

Nico & me when he was a baby.

I posted this photo yesterday but it was an awful photo.  Redid it today.  Better.

 Old car parked behind my church years ago.  Cool.

 Midsummers photos from 1916 in Riverside Park,  Guy to the left I have forgotten his name.  Moved away.  Top guy is Angelo.  Guy to the right is Chris.  We grew up together.  Married as kids. 💖

 My family castle in SkÃ¥ne Sweden.  Called VanÃ¥s.  I have been there twice.  I might have taken this photo but not sure.


 Not min but I edited it.




 Not my photo.

 A favorite cousin.  Saw it each other daily until our fathers had a major falling out.  They moved away.  He did come to see me often as an adult.  He died young in a car accident in Missouri.  Always miss him.





Not my photo,  I needed some family photos for my soul.  Front row is Aunt Martha Lee, Aunt Thelma Arcel, my mom, & Hannah was grandpa's second wife.
Back row is Uncle Harlan, Uncle Orin Ray, Grandpa, Uncle Bob, & Uncle Merle.  Aunt Martha Lee & Aunt Thelma Arcel are the only ones who ever made me feel like family from childhood until they died.  They & their families were the best,  And being with them in Denver was heaven,  Miss those times.




Not my photo.  From the left is me,  the oldest grandchild, Great great  grandmother Kristina Train, Gloria Gillihan from Denver & Susan Ireland from Denver.  Grandmother Train spoke no English, only Swedish.

Not my photo.

Near my farm.  Cool road.



Our last border collie.  Willie's favorite.  Name Kajsa Jo.  Called Jo.  She road. in the truck with Willie everywhere.  She got ill so the vet came to our farm & put her to sleep in her truck.

02/2026 - Torsdagen den 19:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Where is my winter??  Super warm weather is coming again.  Drought is back.  😔



Today's Name Day:  Ella,  Gabriella
Have known an Ellie & Elly.  Know a sweet Gabi.  Love the name Gabriella.

    Had a good day today.  Slept sort of ok.  But I was so chilly all night.  I added socks, long sleeved shirt, & a third blanket.  Then I felt cozy
    Up early to get ready for lunch out.  Met my thursday group.  I got there first.  Then MH showed up.  I usually watch who comes in but I failed.  CA & SR came in but did not see me.  They sat up front.  We were in the back.  And they are never late.  I finally called CA.  What a shock that they were in & had their food!!!  That was a first!!!  I only had a burger & fries.  Really good.  We visited until around  130pm.  Then I went home.
    Checked the mail hoping for my glucose sensors.  Nothing but junk in the mailbox..  Maybe tomorrow.
    I took a nice, restful & cozy nap.  Needed that.
    Temps are falling now.   It is 29 here now.  Have water dripping.  Small chance for some moisture of some kind.  Short break from heat & bugs.  Weathermen are sooo excited for heat returning.  Where is our winter.  I am not excited.  Flies inside the house & a mosquito in my car.  Have a bug zapper ordered.  My old one does not work.  I assume the heat, humidity, & bug lovers are happy.
    Huge fires continue in southern Kansas.  Had a man on the news who lost his mom's house, his house, his farm buildings/equipment.  He had  safes in his house that were supposed to be fireproof.  Everything in those safes burned up.  He lost a milllion dollars of  damage that he is not sure he can recover.  His neighbours are helping him & his family in big ways.  Don't always see that in cities.
    I had some mail in boxes but too cold to mess with.  Wait for the heat again.  Nothing important that the cold will hurt.
    Emailing JL today.  That was it.  Photos are a mix & even a couple I took.




















Grand baby Gracie with chickens..AI

This is Cinder for sure!!!
