Today's Name Day:  Dennis , Denise

My Dad's father was Dennis but I never met him,, had a nighbour named Dennis, friends with a guy at a camp named Dennis, classmate was a  Dennis.  Have friend now named Denise.  Great friend. Worked with a Denise.

    Today was an ok day.  Worked at the SVAFC.  Not one guest.  The boss's dad & a lady with some thing for me came in.  Nice people.

    Started the day with lunch at the White Peacock with LL.  Good food & nice visit.  Had a lot to catch up on!!!

    My group of 4 is still not speaking to me.  One comment that made is THEY are working on a plan.  Their plan will not work in my life.

    I am exhausted & just pooed. Supper was at Jalisco's.  HUGE crowd.  Move in day at the college.  Fun to see MA, MS&her brothers,  AH came out but did not see me.  THEN he finally saw me, burst into a big smile & came running over with a big hug!!  MS took our photo.  Nice.

    Jalisco's closes tomorrow at 3pm.  I never paid any attention since it has nothing to do wth me. MA asked if I was going to Concordia tomorrow.  I said no that I know nothing of it.  I was supposed to be invited.  A family thing,  I have not been invited to a Mexican family stuff for many months.  Damn.  But I do not want to drive at night.  Oh well.  Nice to know they still care.  My life basically sucks.

    I am done writing,  Too tired for words.

My two best friends & their friend.  Not met her yet.  MM & CW

Today's Name Day:  Tage

    Today was an ok day.  Slept good last night.  A cool night.  Maybe rain around tonight & Wednesday,  Cooler tomorrow.  We also have smoke coming from western US,

    I tried to nap today but about 20 minutes later Dr. Baxa called.  Had a good visit.  Said my bones in the earlier xrays showed lots of bone damage.  But no swelling of joints.  Yet.  He is sure I have times when I am in lots of pain but not all the time.  He is ordering 2 new meds for me to pickup.  Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.  I really like him.  Nice personality & thorough.

    This week is super busy.  Tuesday we vote here in Kansas.  Scary.  No maga for governor please!!!! And I have my last xray.  Bone density?  Work at the Old Mill on Wednesday.  The Mill board wants the historical board to join them in their meeting,  Totally screws my day up.  I cannot go all afternoon & part of the evening with no food.  My diabetes won't allow that.  Have to plan on bringing some kind of food to eat around 5pm.  Thursday I eat out with my thursday group.  Friday I am working for MH.  I have ignored him too much.  He has a show at SVAFC in september.  I Want to give him extra time to paint.  But I am not working on saturday.  I need a break.  Time to take care of me.  Then on monday I go to Hutch for a doctor's appointment.  Sheesh. Then a normal week.,

    Today is MM's oldest son's birthday.  He will be a second grader.  No news on his party.  Hope I am included.

Recent photo of Atlas, Sorion, & Mikael Jr.  Jr is the birthday guy!

 I gave up on a nap.  I had some large bags of trash that I needed to get rid of.  Bet I found 10 bags of trash and more,  Hard to carry them all out.  Daisy just had to be in the way!!!  But I gave her treats for helping me.  I did sit outside for a short time so we could cuddle. I threw away some boxes from outside.  I am done.  I know that my blood sugar got low.  Need supper now.

    saw I got more mail outside.  Get it later.  Too tired now.

    Around noon a "son" from Bangladesh texted me.  We have trouble texting.  Our times a so far apart.  But nice visit.  And photos. Known him for several years.  He always calls me Mom.  And he wants to own a farm like I do.  Need to send him some photos of our cattle and our llamas.  All are gone for the summer.

My ancestors.  First guy is Knute Train.  Third guy is a Train also.

My Swedish memories. First heart is eating crayfish.  Second photo is me & a statue called a snaphans.  Maybe.  Third photo is me in someone's field & with a rune stone. Last photo is me with one foot in Norway & the other in Sweden.

Best cake ever.  Normal birthday cake in Sweden.  But can we get on in LBK???  No.

What I would not give for a real Swedish breakfast.

I am tired!!!
