Today's Name Days;   Sabina

I know a lady whose name is similiar.

    Today did not start out good.   I had slept well & time to get up.  My watch & laptop charger was pushed off my beside desk..  My phone was missing.  Yikes!!  I looked everywhere near my bed.  Gone.  I finally used my bedside lamp & then I saw it.  Far far away.  Far!!!  I finally nanaged to grab it.  Luckily my alarm was going off.  That helped.

     I took a quick bath, put a tad bit of makeup on.  About 25% of what I usually use.  Picked an outfit that was not too bad.  And off to Salina.

    I picked up my laptop.  What a relief.  The guy who helped me when I brought it in.  He made fun of me & made fun of my laptop.  Not nice.  Got a nice man today.  Friendly & respectful.  I paid & he insisted on carrying my laptop to my car & passenger door.  What a nice man. 

    Every thing is working ok except my mouse is hard to make it work.  Almost stiff.  Surely there is not something to make it work better.  Will check.  And laptop needs to be updated.  Might take a quick nap & let it run.

    Cats are napping.  Good.  And me with them!! 

    Slight chance for showers around 10pm.  Doubtful.

    Laptop updated without problems.

All photos of pretty trees today are old ones.  Nothing here only in LBK.

My only colored leaf today.

I created this one.

5/2026 - Saturday 16th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Ronny , Ronald

Lots of Ronnies in my life.  My former best friend's husband was Ronald.  Willie & him grew up together & were best friends for many years.  Raced cars together.  We went to Las Vegas together yearly.  And we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversaries together in Vegas & Hawaii.  Shame she decided that she hated me & ended it all.  They became wealthy & it went to her head.

Have a neighbour named Ronnie.  Friends with my son as kids.  Good friends with JS too.  JS worked for him also.  Still friends.

Went to school with a Ronnie.  We were great dancers together in the 1960s.  Fun.  He was a cool guy.  Died young from cancer.

Had a classmate named Ron or Ronnie.  Not friends in school or now.

    

    Today sure could have been better  Had a really bad night.  Severe pain & hard to walk.  I cancelled today.  There was no way I could walk down the basement steps at work.

    Sometime during the night I got too hot.  Threw my covers off & turned the AC down.  It finally got better.

    I mostly rested today.  Napped on the sofa.  No clue where Kisse was but Cinder was nearby.  She has commandeered a  box she likes to lay on.  Weird.  The light from a lamp shines on it.  Does not put out any heat.

    I have bonded with the kitten today.  She will come & let me pet her.  I even held her breifly.  And she is a she.  I had mail to deal with & she stayed near me.  I am assuming there is no more 6 other kittens or a mom.  Makes me sad.  I am glad one has survived.  And knew I would take care of her.  Have found her laying under my car.  No bueno.  Have to call her before I go anywhere.  Then I usually drive part way down the drive before I put on lipstick, etc.  She does not follow.

    Cannot write much more.  Photos today are many that I have taken in Lindsborg.  Not all.  Will point out which I did not take.

Not ny photo.  But love it!

Not ny photo.

Nico & me when he was a baby.

I posted this photo yesterday but it was an awful photo.  Redid it today.  Better.

 Old car parked behind my church years ago.  Cool.

 Midsummers photos from 1916 in Riverside Park,  Guy to the left I have forgotten his name.  Moved away.  Top guy is Angelo.  Guy to the right is Chris.  We grew up together.  Married as kids. 💖

 My family castle in Skåne Sweden.  Called Vanås.  I have been there twice.  I might have taken this photo but not sure.

 Not min but I edited it.

 Not my photo.

 A favorite cousin.  Saw it each other daily until our fathers had a major falling out.  They moved away.  He did come to see me often as an adult.  He died young in a car accident in Missouri.  Always miss him.

Not my photo,  I needed some family photos for my soul.  Front row is Aunt Martha Lee, Aunt Thelma Arcel, my mom, & Hannah was grandpa's second wife.

Back row is Uncle Harlan, Uncle Orin Ray, Grandpa, Uncle Bob, & Uncle Merle.  Aunt Martha Lee & Aunt Thelma Arcel are the only ones who ever made me feel like family from childhood until they died.  They & their families were the best,  And being with them in Denver was heaven,  Miss those times.

Not my photo.  From the left is me,  the oldest grandchild, Great great  grandmother Kristina Train, Gloria Gillihan from Denver & Susan Ireland from Denver.  Grandmother Train spoke no English, only Swedish.

Not my photo.

Near my farm.  Cool road.

Our last border collie.  Willie's favorite.  Name Kajsa Jo.  Called Jo.  She road. in the truck with Willie everywhere.  She got ill so the vet came to our farm & put her to sleep in her truck.
