Today's Name Day:  Lilian, Lilly

Years ago had a friend named Lilly.  My mother-in-law was Lillie.  Had a great aunt Lillian.

    Had a good day.  Slept good.  Felt good.

    Worked at the SVAFC.  Love MH's work.  He is so happy with his show.  Makes me happy to see him happy.

    Had some visitors.  I worked for DM this weekend.  He came in today to get something from our back room but he stayed a while so we could visit.  He is one cool person.  He can come in to see me anytime.

    Another guy came in ---- MJ.  He is an artist & teacher & Sandzén board member.  I did look up his art on Instagram.  I fell in love with what I saw.  Be nice to become his friend.  Will see him again on the 28th.  Good.

    I had planned to eat at the Stuga but they were too busy.  People were cheering for a ball game.  I would be not part of anything or anyone.  I went elsewhere.  A nice relaxing meal eating alone.  And all the help came to my table to talk with me & to see if I am ok. 

    Got warmer today but the air still felt coolish outside.

    MM got to go with one of his best friends to a college football game.  Lucky him.  I never get to do much of anything except lunch out on friday noons.  

    I miss having a group of friends to do things with.  I used to have a fun group.  Then one day 2 of them decided they did not like me.  And turned really nasty to me.  Accused me of all sorts of things.  Broke my heart.  Hard to trust anyone now.  But I miss being part of life.  Alone is so difficult for me.  I am too socialable. 

    A newer friend is now in Hawaii.  Lucky her.  I would give almost anything to get to go back there.  It is gorgeous & the people are super nice.  Oh, the dreams of fools........

    Love the cooler weather.  Nice getting to wear some long sleeved tops.  Great.

    Photos are a mix of things.  Nothing special.

Today's Name Day:  Fatima, Leila

    Pretty good day.  Slept good when I finally fell asleep.  Had a thunderstorm around 3am.  Had some thunder & lightning.  I got a total of 0.68".  More than usual.  Nice.  Today stayed cloudy & dry.  Pretty cool.  Nice.  Hope this weather lasts for a long time.

    Lunch with girlfriends was cancelled.  Will meet next week.  I was tired so not upset.

    Jalisco's reopened.  Totally new look.  Will miss the brick walls.

    Met my artist friend RG.  We met at the Sale BARn.  I was a bit early & got to make friends with our waitress & the owner of the business who is also the cook.  Got bad news though.  RG is leaving earlier than he & I thought.  He goes home on saturday.  Dang.  I love his company.  He is fun to talk to but I always talk too much. Probably since I an lonely often.  Next year he is not here until September.  Too long to wait.  We have decided to make phone calls.  Be nice.

    Lowering my insulin is better so far.  RA sucks big time.  Awful.

    When I headed for home I noticed how low my fuel was.  Yikes!!!  Thank goodness I was still in town.  Close call.

    Photos are flowers & a mix.

I would love to have this!

Today's Name Day:  Magnus, Måns

was sort of a friend with a Magnus & still know him as an adult.  My great grandmother's last name was Magnusdotter.  Meaning she was the daughter of Magnus.

    Slept ok last night.  Had plans for today.  Got a late start but then all went well.

    While MM got showered & dressed I got  smothered in love by his dog Gracie & Rolo a sweet dog he is babysitting.  They were just what I needed today.  They both were on me at the same time.  And once in a while Gracie would quietly growl reminding Rolo that I am HER grandma. Cute.  Rolo went home tonight.  Wonder if I can get visitation!!  Sweet dog!

    Then lunch was at the SaleBARn.  And we got a big surprise when we got there.  A great friend to both of us, AA, is working there.  Very cool.  And what a major hug I got from him.  Known him since he was in college here & the soccer team captain.  Lordy they need several like him.  Got 4 new team members this week.  Hope they help.  Have to find out his hours there so I can eat there then.  Great food.

    Then we went to the bank & then groceries for MM.  He was out of everything.  I got some monday night but I forgot things I needed.  No big deal.

    Sky looked quite stormy out but Lindsborg or my farm got nothing.  Other nearby places got heavy rains.

    We have cooler weather on the way.  Sunday the high will br 78F.  Heaven.  Friend CW who does not like hot weather. We had a long chat on the cool weather headed here next week.  Won't stay of course, but the break will be heaven.

    Could see that Jalisco's is busy working inside.  Hope it is going well. 

    I tried to take a short nap but it was just a rest.  Hope I sleep good tonight.
