Today's Name Day:  Eleonora, Ellinor 

Known many Ellies or Ellinors.

    Had a pretty good day.  Slept ok last night.  Blood sugar has been almost ok most of the day.  Even after supper I expected it to be bad but it got ok quickly.

    Tired this afternoon.  Hard to keep my eyes open.  Short nap when I got home.

    Worked at the SVAFC.  Did not have many visitors.  Two ladies came in together.  The one lady was sooo elegant.  She had on a black long skirt that was many short layers of a thin soft fabric.  Her top was black & white.  She had beautiful white hair twisted up on top of her head.  Don't see people looking so good often.  JH was in for a short time to chat with me.  He is the best!!!

    Texted with MM often this afternoon.  I am hopeful for him.  Upset that on Father's Day he never got to see even one of his sons.  That was cruel.  Today or yesterday was one of his son's birthday.  Again he was ignored.  That is meaness on purpose.  Karma will take care of them.  Has already happened to one.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Ordered something I had not had for a long time.  Very good.  They were busy but not overwhelmingly busy.

    My increasing pain is no fun.  I was a bit improved this morning but now worse.  Stomach is ok today.

    Tomorrow is my granddaughter's birthday.  Her brother is CF.  She quit talking to me years ago.  No idea why.  I remember she got engaged & not one family told me.  I had no idea.  Eventually I was invited but did not feel wanted.  CF says she is like that with most of her family.  I will send a card & let it go.  I remember how close CF, her, & I were when they were younger.  They lived near us.  Good times.  Sad they ended ---- all the way around.  I think she cares but is too focused on her own life.

    Awful weather again today.  Did not quite reach 100F.  Cooler this weekend.  Great!!

    Photos are flowers again.  I took many of the photos.

Glad the days are getting shorter.  Closer to Sweater Weather.  😃

Love Canada.  Would be great to live in a wonderful, caring country as Canada.

Today's Name Day:  Aron, Mirjam

I had a step grandson with my son's second temporary wife named, Aaron.  No clue where he is now.  Or her.  And I don't care.  Bad time in my life.

    Another quiet day.  I ended up cancelling almost everything.  Will cancelle tomorrow also.  Will do nothing until saturday.  Feeling too sick to care.  Pain, blood sugar problems, super depressed.  Just plain tired of it all.

    Had an eye dr. appointment for thursday that was going to stop me from eating with my thursday group.  Called my dr.  They found me a better appointment.  We are lunching at the Öl Stuga.  Will not miss that. Hopefully I will feel ok.  And it is MM's first day back to work.  So happy they gave him a week off.  

    I took a nap this afternoon after little sleep last night.  JR needed help so he called when I needed to be at his house.  From there I called MM to see if he still needed me to take him grocery shopping. He did and got me a couple of things.  Including potato sallad and donuts.  😋

    MM bought us some raspberry salted licorice to try.  Swedes love salted licorice.  Well.  We are now positive we are not Swedish enough to like it.  😝

    Weather was ok today.  Saw 91F today.  No strong winds.  No rain.

    Photos are a mix.  A few I played with AI to create.  Just a time killer.

I colored this graphic.  I should do this again.  Fun app.

Only took 3 tries to get the Swedish flag like I wanted.

Found a cute way to control my cords.  Love it!

Today's Name Day:  Fingal, Selma

I have known several Selmas.

    I had a super busy day.  Luckily I slept really good!!

    First was my Swedish Friendship Group.  I don't think they even call it that any more.  Very sad.  And it always said in Swedish.  Too many changes.  😔

    The program today was LL & a report with lots of photos & info on celebations & parades starting in late 1800s.  Then in 1941 they became our Hyllningsfest celebration, parade, meal, dancing, etc.  They skipped a few years during WWII.  She had great photos.  She did a great job!!!  I am always surprised when I am 

there and people talk to me  to say they are glad to see me.  I like it though.

    Second was lunch at the White Peacock with LL.  I had my usual biscuits & gravy with green iced tea with raspberry in it.  I did manage to get us a table.

    Then I went to the SVAFC to work all afternoon.  MH saw me before he got to the Peacock so I got let in early.  It was a fun afternoon.  JH was painting etc at the Peacock & all his supplies were in the SVAFC in our backroom..  He was in & out all afternoon with a few breaks to sit & chat.  Not for long though.  Busy!!! Before he left I told him how thankful I am he is there & we chat.  He is one of the best.  I am very thankful for his friendship.

    After work I checked on MM at the Stuga.  But he was not there.  He had a bad moment around 5am & someone took him to his doctor in Salina.  I called to check on him.  I worry about him.

    Supper was at home.  Love having my potato sallad.  Will keep calling grocery orders in so I can have my fave foods.  And find new ones.  I have missed that.

    It was hot today.  Around 91F.  The humidity was deadly.  Felt awful.  Glad I do not have to work outside.  Hotter for a day or so then a cooler.  Rain on maybe sunday. Then weather is changing & swirling different way around bringing rain around the 4th.

    I know I am not working on July 4th.  MH said he would.  Does not matter to me.  I do not go to our local celebration in the park,   With mosquitos.  Better to stay home.  Have a bite tonight.  Ick.  The city does no fireworks.  I just ignore it all.  No family to spend time with so who cares.

    There is something that LL & I are watching way out in Goodland.  Making plans for a trip there.  It is 3 hours to there so it is doable in one day.  Something that is being built that it will be fun to see.  In the planning stages now.

    Photos are so-so today.  The laptop & phone did not sync today.  Irritating.
