06/2025 - Jueves the 19th - JOURNEY

 





Today's Name Day:  Germund, Görel

    Today was a great day!!  I slept well.  Had no storms last night.  Less pain, sort of.
    Got up & heard lawn mowers in my yard.  KN & CN were both mowing.  CN left early to go to a movie with his mom & sister.  KN left my flowers blooming for now.  I got a few photos today.
    Met my thursday lunch group at the Crown & Rye.  I had wanted Swedish pancakes but they no longer serve them during the week.  Only sunday noon.  Dang.  Must cancel sunday evening eating out & move it to monday evening,  Then I can eat sunday noon & get my pancakes.  How can they do this in a Swedish town???
    Lunch was good.  I had soup & fries.  Often their soup is something I do not like.  Today it was beef & barley.  Very good.  We had good conversation.  Fun times.
    After lunch I went to the Öl Stuga to see MM.  It was slow there.  Two of my fave people were working.  MM & ZR.  My third fave is on vacation, CW.  I had a spiced rum & coke for dessert.  We had time to chat.  MM was cooking.  
    MM needed a ride to get groceries & a ride home.  I had plenty of time.  He bought me a dessert for later & Kalles for my hard tack.  Fun!!!
    Went home to take a nap.  No where near as tired as yesterday.  Finally over a busy week & busy stormy night.  At last.  Kisse was in her bed.  She curls up & you cannot see her in it. Cinder laid on me for my entire nap.  Needed her.
    Woke up from my nap & was sick to my stomach.  No idea why.  I took some meds & am ok now.  I was scared it was maybe a flu or something.  Hope not.  I was careful what I chose for supper.
    Quite hot today.  I saw 92F.  I got a package after supper delivered.  About died going out from the humidity.  Will only get worse.  Lordy I hate summers in Kansas.  Why did I not move away years ago when I could have.  Too late for me now.  I am stuck here for life.  Oh, the dreams of fools........
    Photos are a mix.  Some old, some new today.

Öl Stuga & my drink
Sweet friends from my past.  Top is John Bergers, bestie & great artist.  Virginia Brunsell.  She & Mom were friends when I was in grade school.  Then they grew apart. When Mom's mom died from a car wreck near Denver Colorado Virginia & her husband went to bring her body home to Lindsborg.  Much later in life, Virginia & I became good friends.  She had John paint her a picture she wanted.  When she died, I bought that painting from her family.  It is special.

10/2024 Torsdag the 17th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 




Today would have been Willie's 83rd birthday.  I miss him more than usual. 
Our nephew Colton was born on his birthday.  He was so excited.  Colton turned 13 today.




Today's Name Day:  Antonia, Toini

    I had a little better day.  Slept fair last night.  Every time I got up last night I put on some cream.  Using one made by the Amish at the present.  Very strong smell that helps me breath.  Have had some congestion problems at night.  And it relaxes me.  Especially my restless legs.  None used today.  Easier to sit comfortable on the sofa.
    Not so cold last night.  Only in the 40s & 70s today.  With very strong winds.  Tipped over one trash bin.  BUT.  Not one of my boxes moved.  Layed the trash bin over & slid in tight on the boxes.  A heavy box on top of the helped.  Still some wind tomorrow
    Having two birthdays today was fun.  I shared some old photos with Coltons family.  He & his sister have not seen these photos.  How I wish Willie was here.......a healthy Willie, no dementia.  We sure missed out on some good years.  😞
    Not a lot of communication today.  Email from a friend & a couple of photos & texts.  One person posts things that I have no interest in or knowledge of.  Nothing to say.  Or they are too vulgar for me to comment.
    A guy I became friends with has photos of him & his girlfriend.  I recognized her immediately.  We were friends many years ago when she was married to a former classmate of mine.  She was so cool.  I never said anything to them.  But today she asked to be my friend.  And wants to meet sometime soon.  Great!  She used to work at Dillards & if I got mail that smelled extra good.  Willie would just moan.  He knew that Dillards had some new perfum!!  And I would be shopping soon!  Good times!
    I saw some soup I have not tried.  I planned to have that for supper.  But I was too lazy.  Fixed something easier.  No energy,
    Today was shampoo day.  Should have been several days ago but no energy.  Tried a new shampoo.  See how it works.  See if it helps my itchy scalp from ecxema.  No itching tonight.
    Lunch out & work tomorrow.  Anxious to be back.  Miss being there.  And feeling normal.
    Photos today are autumn, winter, Christmas, Halloween.  All I have edited.
                        

A scary photo I creaated last year & edited again this year. A totally different look.
