I had a great day but still wish Nico was here to celebrate.

Today's Name Day:  Östen

    

    Had a much better day today.  Did not sleep well thought.  My blood sugar stayed low most of the night.  I got so sick of eating ---- food, glucose tabs, whatever.  Finally I got some sleep.

    Lunch plans with MM.  We chose Crown & Rye.  I got a French Dip sandwich.  It was ok but too many onions but other than that ok.  Then he had to be at the city building for a meeting.  The next stop was the bank,  Then AuBurn to get a brace for his leg.  Much easier to wear & walk in.  And one last stop at another bank to pay his rent.  Then we both went home.

    I shampooed my hair.  It is so easy to style thanks to a good hair cut.  Does not take long.

    I managed a short nap.  Cinder moved on the sofa with me.  She laid with me off & on all last night.  She is a blessing.  But everytime I change how I am laying or get up to the bathroom Kisse comes to check on me in bed.  Not for a long time just some cuddle time.  Nice!

    I looked at my calendar last night.  I saw that I am scheduled to work the next 3 weekends!  I forgot about one of them.  But then I remembered the forgotten one.  What a shame my jobs do not include a pay check!!!  😁

    Photos are a lot of flower photos from a free site.

I bought the post card.  It had the owner's name & the address.  So wanted to see if the house was still here.  It is.  Very cool.

Today's Name Day:  Jon, Jonna

I am friends now with a Johnita, a lady.  I was in high schooll with a Johhnie.  A girl..  Have know many Jon's or John's.

    Had a pretty good day!!  Slept good with a short nap.  Cinder slept with me in my nap.  Love her snuggles & purring.  😸

    Had an eye dr, appointment.  Not with the dr.  Just a test. Was not in the mood so I canceled.  No big deal.

    Met my friend RG for supper at the Crown & Rye.  They were really busy.  Good to see.  Even saw a few people I know.

    RG walked by Jalsico's on the way for supper.  No one in there.  The carpet is still there but all tables & chairs are gone.  Who knows where.  Storage unit?  Sold?  Hmmmm.  We will not plan on eating there next thursday.  Going somewhere else.  

    Weather is ok today.  High around 91 but low humidity.  Really cold autumn like weather headed our way.  My friend CW is as excited as I am.  My friends who live in California have super hot weather.  Las Vegas will be 109F tomorrow.  I could live with that.  Just never leave the casino.  No problem.  Been there in the heat.

    When I got home both cats came running to greet me.  Sweet.  Either glad to see me or into some thing they knew was a no no

    Photos are flowers & more.

The previous photos were taken at the Rosberg House a few years ago.

These are near my yard.

Today's Name Day:  David, Salomon

I have known many Davids  --- childhood friend, high school friend, cousin or two, adult friends,

    Today was pretty good.  No storms yet.  Maybe later.

    Work today at the Old Mill.  Worked hard on the photos I have selected.  This group is a bit boring.  Lots of people we do not know.  Too many photos of houses or kids, or whatever.  Those are really boring.  But I did find a couple today that were really cool.

    One photo was very old with 2 people in an interesting home.  It utterly fascinated me.  I posted it on our Nostalgia page.  And what I found out was awesome!!!  When Willie & I got married in 1966 our telephone was a "crank" one with a party line of 8 people.  And operators to take our calls to send to others.  And that continued until 1976 at least.  This photo is of the phone office & the operators are Ed & Goldie.  I can still hear them say "number please".  We were the last to get dial telephones.  It was a blessing!!

    The other photo was of a truck from Assaria Oil Company.  That is where I had my oil changed yesterday.  It is still there.  Willie used to have coffee there every morning.  Great place.  Nice people.  Always.  Photo was taken in Lindsborg.

    Our director shared a cookie with us.  I have got to go buy some of them. Chocolate chip with a slight flavor of banana.  MMMM.

    I found an envelope of photos with the coolest name.  Will share when I start on it.  I am anxious for something fun!!!

    Supper was at the Crown & Rye.  I had Salmon & Rice.  To die for.  I got JR & I each a cookie for dessert.  MMM.  Great meal.

    Just checked the radar.  Some storm clouds moving into the state.  Nothing severe is expected.  Good.  Rain couldl wait until after harvest.

    Photos are a mix.. 

Harvest & storms
