10/2025 - Lunes the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Berit, Birgit

Friends with a Birgit.  Love that name.  Known a Berit.

    Had an ok day.  Feeling sort of not part of things or anyone.  Glad for those who had a good weekend or monday.  I will survive.

    Today I was in a bad mood & my depression is awful. Cancelled supper out.  Then woke up early from my nap & decided to quit being a baby & go eat.  Jay & I went to Jalisco's.  I have missed them & my friends.  Had a great visit with MA about his father's birthday & how much I wished I was there in Mexico.  Fun to talk to MS then her brother MS came to chat with me.  Her husband HT were glad to see each other.  My spanish is not wonderful & his english is so so but we manage.  He acutally looked happy to see me.  And asked if I was ok.  I really needed tonight.  Ate too much.  Remember that when out.  Got home before feeling sick.

    Rained off &. on this afternoon.  Got very little rain.  Stayed cool. Loved it!!

    My car fuel was on fumes.  JR used my credit card & filled my car so I could sit.  What a treat!!!

    I think part of my bad mood is missing Hyllningsfest.  But no one to take care of me or sit with me.  Better to stay home. Rather than sit near big groups of people of families/friends while I am alone.  Such is life.  No where to park closer than 2 blocks or more away.  I really miss having Mom & Dad to sit with.  Most people I know do not care if I get to the celebration.  I am on my own.  No backup.

    Watching Rachel Maddow.  Always good.  She is also on again this friday.  And something special she has created.  Great.

    I had something in my purse that is gone.  I have searched & searched.  Ordered a new one.  Upsets me.m Probably in my car under the seat.  It can stay there.

    Cats are near.  Think they missed me.  How would I survive without them???

    Photos are seasonal.

  

The view from my front porch.  Other side of this hill has a white cross the towards the top made out of rocks in the shape of a cross painted white.  Started by early Swedes here.  Kansas prairie.

04/2025 Måndag the 21h - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day:  Anneli, Annika

    Had a good day & night.  When I went to bed Cinder followed.  And immediately jumped up next to me.  And never left all night.  She was with for most of my nap also.  Kisse was close all day & night.

    Got hotter than I expected today.  Clouds left so the house got up to 80F.  Ick.  I got up from my nap & hit the AC!!!  Feels good tonight.  Great!!

    Supper was pizza.  Tasted OK but my stomach was not thrilled.  The first piece was ok bu the second one was just too much.

    After supper we bought groceries.  Think I am set for a while.  Hope JR is also.  Dollar General has a brand of ham I like much better so we went there for my ham.  And we each had an ice cream sandwich.  Perfect.  My tummy approved.

    I am so sad that Pope Francis has passed away.  I am not Catholic but thought of changing to one once or twice.  Still crosses my mind sometimes. He was one of the good guys & will be missed.  Hope the new pope is a good guy also.

    Measles is spreading fast.  So sad.  And the result of stupidity.  Hate to hear children are dying that did not need to die.  Breaks my heart.  When I was a tiny child I had the measles.  Maybe around 1 year old.  I broke out with them inside my body not on the outside.  Dr. Holwerda came to see me at my grandma's every day after his office hours.  We lived next door to my mom's parents.

    No Colbert.  Dang.  Watching Maddow from earlier tonight.

    Photos tonight are from the internet.

So true for me!! 

Wandering Through Life, 27 august 2021

    Very windy today but less humid.  Saw 100F in my car.  No chance of rain anywhere near me.  As usual.  Tomorrow???

    I went to the Red Barn to say goodbye to my artist friend.  Oh, I will miss him.  He is a rare person who understands me and how I feel and what I have been through.  Will keep in touch.  There was a man in visiting him from Concordia.  Really nice.  Fun to talk with people who like art and stuff.

    Had supper with my brother.  Great food.  The staff were ornery too.  Fun to laugh.

    Watching Rachel Maddow.  How sad it is that almost her entire show was about farm animal wormer medication, those who are pushing it, those who are selling it, and those who take it but refuse vaccination or masks.  We are a very stupid country.  I cannot imagine anyone convincing me to take cattle medicine.  How stupid do you have to be??

    I noticed a huge number of barn swallows or field swallows in my pasture on the electricity wires.  Are they planning to leave here already?  For whatever reason I have no barn swallows near my house.  We used to.  Miss them.  Not been close enough to tell which kind they are in the pasture.

    There was soccer tonight. I never considered to go.  I simply will not sit out in the heat.  Wish it would cool off so I can go enjoy my teams playing.

    Photos are all taken at the Red Barn today.

                    

Wandering Through Life, 18 auqust 2021

 I had a super busy day.  Very nice.  I started with a long leisurely lunch with my non bio grandson.  Nice to spend time with him.  We ate at Jalisco’s.  Missed his girlfriend and kids.

I worked today at the Old Mill.  LOve the old photos and I had been doing my family photos. Family I only know by names.  I photographed each one.  Nice to have a face to the names.  While there I got to meet the new director.  I like her. She was very nice and we chatted a little.  Nice to be told goodbye when I left.  She already has some good ideas.

Had a short break at home. Then back to town.  Had supper with my brother.  And the manager and my best friend at Jalisco’s were sure in prime form tonight!  Lots of joking. It is nice for me to actually feel good inside.  HOpe it lasts.

I watched Rachel Maddow tonight.  She told a story of someone who worked for us in Afghanistan.  She told it minute by minute and photo by photo.  I ended up sitting on the edge of the sofa not knowing the outcome.  And when Rachel cried so did I.  I am still tense.  If you get a chance to see her story, please do.

Weather is ok.  Not too hot but no rain.  The dust grows and increases.

Photos are a mix.
