8/2026 - Tuesday the 4th - MY JOURNEY

 

The bottom photos in a shirt was this week.

Today's Name Day:  Arne , Arnold

I have known an Arnold in Willie's family.  Maybe 2.  I have known of an Arne or two.

    Today was part good & part really bad.  The chips I ate for supper last night made me soooo sick,  My stomach was sick all last night.  And most of today.  I took meds.  Did not help.  Almost cancelled my xray.  But I managed.

    I had lunch then off to LBK to the hospital.  Fast to the ladies room then all was ok.  Xray was easy.  Only had to lay flat.  After  got home had a text from Dr Baxa.  Good news!

They mispelled his name.  Baxa not box.  Nice to know something is good.

    Next to Falun to vote.  I was confused some of the time.  Should have had a list candidates.  But the important issues I got right.  Whew!!

    Got home & tried to nap.  Just rested.  Supper will be China leftovers.  JL. China is across the street from Jalisco's!!

    Daisy did not hear me for lunch.  I never turned the TV on.  I had to call & call to wake her.  But when I got home she came running.  And watched me park.  Sweetie!!

    Watching my soaps.  Then spanish tonight.  Work tomorrow but need food for supper at work.  Stupid.

Looks like Nico

In Falun.  Clueless what it is.  Cool though.

Cool bales outside of Falun

Old gnarled tree in the Falun Cemetery

Glad to see me!

Will never get over losing my baby.

Neighbour's Barn

8/2026 - Monday the 3rd - MY JOURNEY

 

Awesome old old photo of an old car & Old Main.

Today's Name Day:  Tage

    Today was an ok day.  Slept good last night.  A cool night.  Maybe rain around tonight & Wednesday,  Cooler tomorrow.  We also have smoke coming from western US,

    I tried to nap today but about 20 minutes later Dr. Baxa called.  Had a good visit.  Said my bones in the earlier xrays showed lots of bone damage.  But no swelling of joints.  Yet.  He is sure I have times when I am in lots of pain but not all the time.  He is ordering 2 new meds for me to pickup.  Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.  I really like him.  Nice personality & thorough.

    This week is super busy.  Tuesday we vote here in Kansas.  Scary.  No maga for governor please!!!! And I have my last xray.  Bone density?  Work at the Old Mill on Wednesday.  The Mill board wants the historical board to join them in their meeting,  Totally screws my day up.  I cannot go all afternoon & part of the evening with no food.  My diabetes won't allow that.  Have to plan on bringing some kind of food to eat around 5pm.  Thursday I eat out with my thursday group.  Friday I am working for MH.  I have ignored him too much.  He has a show at SVAFC in september.  I Want to give him extra time to paint.  But I am not working on saturday.  I need a break.  Time to take care of me.  Then on monday I go to Hutch for a doctor's appointment.  Sheesh. Then a normal week.,

    Today is MM's oldest son's birthday.  He will be a second grader.  No news on his party.  Hope I am included.

Recent photo of Atlas, Sorion, & Mikael Jr.  Jr is the birthday guy!

 I gave up on a nap.  I had some large bags of trash that I needed to get rid of.  Bet I found 10 bags of trash and more,  Hard to carry them all out.  Daisy just had to be in the way!!!  But I gave her treats for helping me.  I did sit outside for a short time so we could cuddle. I threw away some boxes from outside.  I am done.  I know that my blood sugar got low.  Need supper now.

    saw I got more mail outside.  Get it later.  Too tired now.

    Around noon a "son" from Bangladesh texted me.  We have trouble texting.  Our times a so far apart.  But nice visit.  And photos. Known him for several years.  He always calls me Mom.  And he wants to own a farm like I do.  Need to send him some photos of our cattle and our llamas.  All are gone for the summer.

My ancestors.  First guy is Knute Train.  Third guy is a Train also.

My Swedish memories. First heart is eating crayfish.  Second photo is me & a statue called a snaphans.  Maybe.  Third photo is me in someone's field & with a rune stone. Last photo is me with one foot in Norway & the other in Sweden.

Best cake ever.  Normal birthday cake in Sweden.  But can we get on in LBK???  No.

What I would not give for a real Swedish breakfast.

I am tired!!!
