Today's Name Day:  Alfons, Inez

Known several ladies named Inez

    Had a good day.  Part of it was the best ever!!

    My oldest 2 great grandsons came home last night.  MM can't quit hugging them.  And all 3 are smiling.

    I stopped at MM's this noon.  They all came to greet me.  And inside Gracie my grandpuppy came running also.  I sure needed to see them all.  Lots of hugs.  Here is Junior, Atlas, & Grandma.

    After my visit it was work at the Old Mill.  But it was a lonely day.  Lots of visitors so AP was upstairs most of the time.  We are 2 short in our staff.  I am no help at all. I only do my photos & nothing else.  But I did turn on some political programs & listen without bothering anyone.  I even did some exercises.  I was hoping that AP did not return to his desk to see my arms flailing about & think I was having a seizure!!!  💃

    I started a new batch of photos..  Several folders all hooked to each other.  I am doing each one separately with unique names.  Most photos are borderline boring.

    Supper was Mexican.  They were not too busy.  I had flautas.  Very good.  Dessert was the Barnyard Creamery.  I got a small soft serve with caramel sauce.  Perfect.

    I had changed what purse I used but lordy it was far too heavy.  Probably since it was leather.  Came home & changed to a lighter purse.  Feels much better.

    My one purse that is burlap is laying on my sofa.  Kisse has commandered it as her new nest.  Plus it is next to me.

    Photos are a mix.

Very old photo of Old Main & an old car on the Bethany College campus.  Plus all the trees that used to be on the campus.

MI took the bridge from a photo & added it to another photos with a rainbow.  Fun to play!

Today's Name Day:  Carola, Karolina

Carola is the name of a Swedish singer I love.  Awesome voice & songs.  She sings a couple I want played at my funeral.  Guess I better tell someone.  Plus I worked with a Caroline at the Mill.  Has since moved away.  Miss her.

    Had a great day!!  Finally out of the house.  Met grandson CF for a goodbye lunch before he moves out of state.  I have been in a major depression for 2 days.  Will only get worse when he actually leaves.  I feel today is the last time I will ever see him.  He won't be back & I cannot travel alone.  Sad day for me.

    My depression just gets worse.  I see people having things I miss.  Family get togethers,  friends who want to include me for eating/movies/etc.,  support from family/friends who can help or assist me if needed without me asking/begging.  Not there for me.  CF planned to help me with things but now he is leaving.  He should do what he needs to for his happiness.  I am ok with that.  I am not ok that I am always left alone with nothing.  And I know, no one cares.  So I will shut up.

    I got a photo of a cool mother & baby cow.  Cool color.

    I was chilly all day.  At home, eating, napping.  My blankets sure felt good.  We had a bit of rain last night.  And lightly rained until 3 or 4am.  More rain coming on friday.

    Working tomorrow.  It is about time!!! Excited to see everyone!!  Been far too long away!!!

    Today was a special day.  Junior graduated from Kindergarten.  Cool.  Growing too fast!!!

    I guess CF's truck & camper will leave this week.  I have threatened to take legal action if it does not.  I am not related to them & if they would get damaged in a storm or something, I do not want to pay insurance to them.  Be nice not to have to look at them.

    Next weekend is Memorial Day.  Have graves to decorate.  And not much time.  Rain forecast & working.  Saturday it is.  Hope I ordered enough.  I always order.  Feels like I always do everything.  And if I have to decorate alone, so be it.  I usually do not have to that but life is not being nice to me lately.

2025 Ti5dag the 24th - Wandering & Capturing Moments.

 

This is waffledagen in Sweden..  They do not celebrate like my town does. 

Today's Name Day:  "Våffeldagen" (a day to eat waffles). 

    Had a better day.  Slept good & more comfy.  Cats stayed close.  I just took it easy today.  Rest up for work tomorrow.

    My thursday lunch got changed to next week due to illness.  JR is sick also today.  Plus more measles cases in Kansas.  I think they said a total of 10.

    I assume I was vaccinated for measles.  I had them when I was a toddler.  But mine were inside my body not on the outside.  I remember spending the days on my grandmother's sofa.  Dr. Holwerda visited me every day after office hours.  I have some memories of this time in my life.  Do not remember my grandmother or the doctor.  Remember being on the sofa.

    I guess the weather was good today.  Will venture out to get my mail.  Highs near 70.  Too warm overnight.  Have rain now forecast for thursday.  Hope it rains all day.  I am home so no problem.  We even have a chance of snow over the weekend.  See how true that is.

    Nice weather so my great grandsons played in the park after school.  Looked like fun!!  Loved seeing them.  And MM checked on me today to see how I feel today.  I always value that.
