7/2026 - Monday the 13th- MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Joel , Judit

I have 3 friends named Joel.  Have a cousin named Judy.  She is sick now & in a home.  Went to school with a Judith.  I enjoyed visiting with her at our class reunion.  Wish she lived closer.  Wonder if she would meet for lunch if I drove to see her?  Willie was in school with a Judy

    Today is rather stressful, but I am surviving.  Yesterday was my great grandson Atlas's 6th birthday.  He chose to have it at the Öl Stuga.  It was so much fun.  I saw several friends I do not get to see often.  Met friends of MM's whose names I knew & we all liked each other.  Must plan to see them again.  And a barmaid from Hamburg Germany.  She calls me Grandma!  Love it!

    The boys had lots of fun.  I had supper & so did they.  And cupcakes.  I also had a mimosa.  Nice.  I got lots of hugs.  A worker from Jalisco's came in & sat with me.  And gave me tons of hugs. While he drank lots of beer!!

    We were in the small patio & the boys & others were on the large patio also.  I just wanted to be in the shade.

    MM paid my bar tab.  I told him not to do that but it was still nice.  Saying goodbye to MM, boys, his girlfriend, & a good friend of mine.  Nice nice hugs & several "I love you's". was the best.  Must at least text him often.  And he got his band back together so I am going to see them when they open a dance for another band.  Fun.  Always wanted to see him perform!!

    My laptop is not working right.  Irritating.  Today is better.

    Doctor appointment tomorrow.  I am scared to death of the unknown.  Not telling many people.  I tried to tell someone who should care & got ignored.  Will ignore back,

    Weather stayed in the 80s today.  Hotter is coming soon.  I hate summer.  Will be 100F for me here.

    It is true that we have very few family anymore.  The family who really love me were & are in Denver.  Most are gone now.  I know dozens of local people but none are true friends.  I am rarely included in anything.  So I am lonely a lot.  But I now know how much I am loved.  And it feels damn good,

3/2026 - Onsdag den 25:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Missing winter.

There is no name for today.  I have no clue.

    I had sort of a good day.  I slept well in spite of having a nightmare close to morning.  Just spooky.  With me & people I know.  Weird.

    Today was a work day.  Fun to see everyone.  Had good conversation when there was time.  Our new director starts on monday.  I only remember directors who used the office by the front door.  Our new one is going to use a space in our basement.  Guess I will get to know her pretty good.  Will be fun.

    My scanner is much worse.  I could scan one photo.  When I tried for a second one it screwed up.  I would reboot the scanner.  I finally started using a part of the scanner to preview the photo.  If it looked ok I woud continue.  If it was a awful color I stopped & rebooted.  Slowly I moved on.  Working on the tiniest photos & almost done.  I hope a new scanner appears on my desk soon.

    No llamas when I went to work but they were in the pasture when I came home.  Not close enough for a photo though.   And one feral cat running in my back yard.  A grey one.  Young looking.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Fun to see my amigos!!  I Miss there.  Need to go there more often.

    Saw a classmate there & I had ordered a class reunion tee shirt & she had mine for me.  Not sure I will attend.  I do not feel part of my class.  They all keep in touch with each other.  I am in touch with no one unless they live in town & we run into each other accidently.  Sort of like my family.  I suffer from major FOMO ----- fear of missing out.

    Dessert was ice cream from the Barnyard Creamery.  Gotta quit.  Too much.  Either a meal or just ice cream.  Look closely at the photo.  Funny.

    A quick trip in to the grocery store.  I needed 3 things.  Cinder & I are happy now.

    Driving home I saw a couple of small deer & slowed way down.  There were 4 half grown deer ran over the road in front of me.  No time for a photo.  Should have AI design a photo for me!!!  They were so sweet!!!

    I had photos last night from MM.  He was exhausted from doing moving stuff.  Had a text from JL.  Photo from a Texas friend.  That is it.

    I am surprised.  I had people from Sweden look at my blog.  There has been people from Danmark for a while now.  There sometimes some surprise countries.  I am sure missing them has something to do with our government.  Very sad.

    Cinder is not happy.  She wants food now not later.  I am busy.  Cats did not eat overnight so there was almost a whole meal for them today.  And it is gone now.

    I planned to carry trash out tomorrow, but oh no.  High winds.  Cannot make the bins heavy enough do they don't blow over.  Dang.  Ay ay ay ay.  Maybe I can brace one in front of a tree.

    I took a very short nap when I got home.  Cinder woke me early.  Just walking over me.

    Cute photos tonight,  And one photo explaining what you need to notice in each picture.

This explains the previous pictures!!! Love them!!!

Young cow in my pasture.  Had a unique face.

3/2026 - Söndag den 8:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Siv

I actually have a friend in Sweden named Siv.  Nice lady.

    Had a good day but much quieter than yesterday.  The SVAFC had an afternoon get together in honor of all who are sharing their art with us..  They had coffee, wine, & pastries.  Someone brought me a cookie.  Otherwise I rarely go back with those who come in.  Many I do not know or I feel out of place.  No big deal.  

    With the nice weather there were many people out walking and many motorcyles in town.  Always fun to see.  And here.

    I got photos of all the art on display.  And added them to an album.  Lots of nice art.

    A friend who I grew up with came in & we had time to visit.  A class reunion has been scheduled.  I used to be included in the planning but not this time.  I was going to quit anyway but it kind of hurts to just be dumped.  But she explained how it came about.  We had a classmate who just recently passed away.  All those from our class who attended sat at one table & made the decisions about the reunion then.  Would have been nice that whoever posted about it explained how it happened & where it will be.  I probably won't attend.  I get so tired of being alone.  And I am totally not part of my classmates.  Many of them have kept in touch with each other.  Not one of my classmates ever connected with me.  I am an outsider.  No need to go & see how they all get along while I just sit there,  I am depressed enough without that.  I doubt anyone will miss me.

    I just cannot go to funerals.  Not since Mom died & then Willie died,  I get way too upset.  No one needs me there.

    Weather is ungodly hot.  The 80s are forecast.  I hate it.  And the stupid time change.  Not my favorite time of year.  People are all so excited about spring & flowers.  They are counting the days until spring is here.  😕  I refuse to post any flower photos.  Not even interested at all,  Missing my winter I never got.

    While eating supper at Pizza Hut JR & I were chatting.  I mentioned I hate the time change & why can they just leave it one way or the other.  A guy sitting at the next booth heard that & turned around to say "amen"!!!

    Yesterday was so special.  Hoping to make a couple of new friends,  Probably never talk to them again.  Why even try???

    No special photos today.  None that I took.  Maybe get outside tomorrow & take some.

Adorable!

Wish I had a friend or two who would like to have coffee with me sometimes.  Be very pleasant.

Two AI photos of me.  Like to play.
