Stage for the concert. Nice small area for people to watch & hear. I even knew a few there. Not all. Only thing I missed was a cocktail. Will plan ahead next year. I know someone who can carry me a drink.
Today's Name Day (2 days); Ingvar, Ingvor, Ulf, Ylva
Had an awesome day yesterday. Supper at Jalisco's. Good food & fun to see my amigos mexicana. Then we attended the Jazz Walk.
There is no way I can say how much I needed this evening. Sick at home for a week and a half. I saw no one & talked to no one. Not healthy for me but it is my life now. I have pulled up music from the Draper Band to listen to in my car or at home. Tonight's concert was taped. I look forward to hearing it again.
The Jazz Walk is done by the Paul Draper band. They walk down Main Street & stop at a couple of places to do little concerts. Then back to the Sundstrom Convention Center for a concert. And there are cocktails served but no one offers to carry one for me so I never get one. Carrying food with my cane is not wise. I am learning to do without a lot. Today they did old blues tunes from way back ---- 1960s through the 1990s. Music was to die for. My photos are all of the band & things about them. Sorry I just don't know names. I do good to remember my name!!!
I was home around 2130pm. I did my Spanish lesson that was awful but then too tired to blog. After I got home we had a short rain shower. Going to town it was foggy & drizzle.
Today the town is filled with chalk drawings everywhere by anyone who wants to draw. Lots of chalk is handed out. And no rain to ruin the day.

Side note. MM had complained so much about a local restaurant called China being closed. (joking. he knew why) The owners have been in China for a relative's illness & possible death. But they back here & China is reopened. But MM had not been there. "Too upset about missing his Chinese food". Lots of teasing him about it. Well last nite he went in to order take out. I was parked right there so I had him pose for a photo op. I posted it on Lindsborg Now. That photo has over 100 likes & several comments. All are fun!!! Not one nasty comment or anything rude. That is a miracle for my group. Fun to see who posted!!!
