Collage of me & my llamas.

Today's Name Day:  Ada,  Edla

I knew an Ada.  Such a sweet lady.  And her husband was special.  He liked my dad.  I knew of an Edla but did not know her.  Before my time.

    Had an ok day.  Slept several extra hours overnight.  I was just exhausted.  Better today.  I did get a short nap.

    Not quite as hot today.  Thanks goodness.  Severe storms for tonight.  All missed us here.  Good.

    I saw the llamas near my front yard so I grabbed my iPhone & sat outside to photograph them.  And share tonight.  I like to call their names & then they look at me!!!

    Had my historical board meeting tonight.  I went to Jalisco's for supper first.  They make the best hamburger & fries in town.  AJTR. had my booth saved!!!  😀. We managed to chat a bit.  His novia (girlfriend) was off today.  So we had to try harder to understand each other.  Plus I had learned something new in my Spanish lessons & I could not remember the first word.  MA had time to help me.  Plus he told me to ask him for help anytime.  Nice.  I appreciate him & his family. And the waitstaff are excellent.  And always treat me like I am special.  It sure makes a difference to get to use a little Spanish sometimes.  Helps me remember things.

    Board meeting went ok,  Had an interesting program afterwards.  I learned a lot about the history of my town.  But it just lasted far too long.  Needs to have a time limit.  I finally left early.  I knew my Spanish lesson was waiting for me.  

    Spanish lesson was ok.  Made a few errors, but still ok.

    OMG!!!  I actually have people from Sweden read my blog & yesterday some from Danmark.

    Not a happy camper here tonight.  Ch 12 is no longer on DishTV.  Fighting with each other.  No Colbert tonight & no soaps tomorrow.  Hope I can find them streaming somewhere.  I hope.

Today's Name Day:  Maria

Maria is a special name to me.  Had a good friend in junior high named Maria.  Sad she moved away.  And have a good friend now named Maria.  She is really special.  Love our friendship.

    Another sick day.  Sick & tired of being sick & tired.  But today it worked out for the best.

    I hurt so bad last night.  JR got me some Advil that helped a bit.  But today just hard to walk & be comfy.  Called in sick,  Walking those steps to the basement had me scared.  BUT.  After eating a normal lunch my stomach got so sick.  Seriously ill.  Better here at home rather than on the basement steps.  What a nightmare!!!  Thanking my angels for looking out for me.  Whew.

    The cats & I napped.  Cinder snuggled with me off & on.  Plus I remembered to feed the outside cat or cats.  It got all eaten.  Only put food out during the day.  Cannot afford to feed all the wild animals that come around at night.

    I had a great surprise around supper time.  CF called & we had a video chat.  So nice to see & hear him.  And I saw his dog Princess.  She is getting old.  When he got her we ate out in Marquette.  I have photos of me holding her!!  We sneaked her into a restaurant there.  She just slept.  Good girl.

    So many people are excited for February's end & are sure that it means that winter is now completely over.  HA.  We have icy roads forecast for tomorrow.  Stupid heat loving people.  They truly dislike winter loving people &  put us down.

    Just relaxing tonight.  Pain a bit less.  Maybe the weather is changing & has leveled out.  I hope.

    No special photo tonight.  Just a mix.

     

Cool.  Great to live there.

The school I went to grade school in.  A painting.  Long torn down.

The Kirby House in Abilene.  Fantastic food.  Burned down but never rebuilt & recipes never used again.  😔

Nico with his babies on the floor.  My heart hurts.

Aerial view of Lindsborg.

AI me.  Wish this was me tonight.  I rarely have a fun night out.
