Today's Name Day: Kevin, Roy

Had a Roy in school.  A bit older. Good friend named Kevin.  He is a hoot!!!  Cousin Kevin.

    

    Had a great day!!! Slept well.  Worked at the SVAFC.  Today the artist MH, gave a talk about his art.  I have been looking forward to this!!

    He had a huge audience!!!  Plus I met some great people.  There was a couple talking to a friend of me.   Found out when the Old Mill was being worked on so we could turn it on again, they worked on it.  I found out both him & his wife were in many photos I worked on from that time period.  I talked to him & told him I had many photos of him,  Great conversation!!!  The last lady who showed her father's art last month.  She has been very friendly ever since when I see her.  When she went home today she took my hand in her goodbye.  I had a long visit with another local artist.  I wish I saw her more often but such is life.  She has a group of friends but I am not part of them.  Just a great day & glad I was part of it.

    Supper was sallad at Pizza Hut.  Love it.

    On my way home MM called.  But I dared not touch my phone.  Too much traffic.  He was gone all day yesterday & today.  Had a great visit.  Will see him tomorrow for lunch.  Good.

    The house was too warm when I got home.  Turned the cool air on.  Much better now.

    Got the sticker for my car's license tag & got it attached tonight.  They were fast!!!

    Found a new show on CNN called Have I Got News For You.  Based on real news but sort of a comedy.  I am enjoying it,.  It is a weekly show.

    Photos are a mix.

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:  Adela, Heidi

I have a cousin in Washington state name Adela.  The owner of Jalisco's has a daughter Adela.  A local family have a daughter named Heidi.

    

    I had a good day.  Finally.  I slept fair.  Cinder cuddled from 6am until I got up.  Nice.

    I met LL for lunch at the White Peacock.  MM needed a ride to downtown plus my umbrella.  He walked with me inside.  Nice to have someone worry about me.  I was scared to death today.

    LL & I had a nice lunch & visit.  It is nice on fridays that it is just her & me.  We can discuss work with no one to hear our opinions.  Nice moments.  While we were eating, MH came in for lunch.  He was soooo excited that his art show starts today.  He asked if I am ready!!  I can hardly wait to see it all tomorrow.

    After LL left for work, MM returned to give me my umbrella.  And help me to my car.  After getting to my car without incident, my strong feelings of fear left.  MM is the best!!!  He was off to Salina & some shopping.  He got a bright red Chiefs  shirt.  Nice one.

    Lots of texting between CW & me also.  He is a nice friend.  I am so lucky.  I got this week's newpaper with a huge article about my artist friend RG.  Cannot wait to read it all.  And a delivery guy came to the Old Mill.  He is an artist that I know.  Had a great visit.  He is a fantastic artist.

    Work was good.  I finished the photos I was working on.  Then the next bunch I sorted by size & added names of those I know.  There were some special people in them.  Two Swedish people I remember so well.  One was a great man who was the head of the Stockholm opera.  I spent some nice time with him.  The other was a nice lady I ate almost daily lunches with her & another Swede.  Her daughter was an actress who was up for a movie award like our Oscar.  And we got to see her film.  Great memories.  I actually got started scanning them.

    Then JR & I ate at Jalisco's.  It looks awesome!!  A lady & her daughter who used to live here are back & working in Jalisco's.  She saw me walk in & came to give me a huge hug!!  I was surprised & she made my week!!!  Great to see her!!  I am glad she is here.  We will take care of her here.

    The Bethany College mens soccer team had a match today in Nebraska.  And they won 5-0.  Wow!!! Awesome.  Great start to the year.  Have to try to go to a match or two.

    Home now & tired.  Bed will feel good.

    Photos are many autumn pictures, Halloween, & others.  I love the autumn colors.  Today was heaven.  Our high was around 60F.  Almost cold!!  Rained from 3am until 430pm.  Did not get much but it was awesome weather.
