Today's Name Day:  Dagny, Helny

    Not much to say today.  Home alone with little communication with the outside world,  Email from JL.  Texts from CF, JR, & MM.  Warmer weather today.  Warmer again tomorrow.

    Slept good.  Cinder comes & goes between her chair & curling next to me.  I barely notice.  Same for nap times.

    Working the next 3 days.  My last full weekend of work.  Hoping it is a fun weekend!!

    Photos are autumn, farm, art, etc.

Fun harvest supper meal photo,  Nice memory,

09/2025 - Miércoles the 03rd- MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day:  Anita, Annette, Tord, Turid

My first daughter-in-law was Anita.  She was the best.  I miss her & think of her often.  Mom had a friend Annette.  Every card she sent to people had a tatted flower in it.  Lovely.

    I did not blog last night as I was too tired.  Had a board meeting at 6pm then a program.  I stayed for it and some treats afterward.  I do not fit in most of the time but a sweet lady sat with me.  Nice not to sit alone.  I enjoyed visiting with her.  Did not get home until 9pm.  I just did my spanish lesson. Then I was done!!  💤

    Today I did nothing.  Had rain late morning.  Had water over my driveway so somewhere west of me there was more rain than I had.  The little creek that goes through our pastures doesn't even have a name.  No idea where it starts or where it ends.  There is not a large culvert in my drive so the water backs up & floods my drive.  Does not happen very often.  Did not amount of much today but I was afraid to leave & have it rain more & then I would have trouble getting home.

    The weather is playing havoc with my back.  Sure gets old.

    Yesterday MM & I had lunch out.  And he had a couple of nice gifts from me from he trip to Manhattan.  He is the beset.  He worries about me. 

    A bit warmer today.  I rested.  Cinder was near me all afternoon.  She is a blessing.  Kisse stays near me also but she is not a cuddler.  Sometimes in bed she will sniggle.

    I use a stylus on my iphone.  I have two of them.  one won't charge anymore.  The other works but not properly.  Ordered a new one.  Hard to find one that I want.  They all now have a weird end.  Don't like them.

    No plans tomorrow.  Lunch out got cancelled & JR is too busy to eat with me.  A day at home.

    What a mess our country is.  Two shootings today.  One a conservative who supports no gun laws & is now dead.  The other kids in Colorado.  And most of our government refuses to talk about what to do.

    Photos are a mix of whatever I like.

                                                    

 

09/2025 - Martes the 08th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Alma, Hulda

    Today was a day of rest.   I slept ok until around 4am.  I had been watching the radar & a small area of rain appeared.  Not doing much so I went to sleep.  Then around 7am a loud crack of thunder woke me up!  Radar showed a big storm of heavy rain.  It proceeded to thunder loudly all day until around 630pm.   I got lots of rain.  Got 3.82".  What a miracle.  There were places near me that got around 9-10".  With flooding.  I mostly stayed inside today.  At supper time I looked out at my driveway.  It was still under water.  I maybe could drive through if I needed but not safe to try that.

    MM & I planned to eat out this noon.  But I cancelled due to my driveway.  Will try again tomorrow.  I changed my day to a Jammie Day!!!  Resting good.

    I still have aches & pains from my accident.  Both arms ache.  Nothing real bad but new pains.  Both knees hurt.  Left knee is better.  Plus I feel terror when walking around.  A little better at times.

    Emailed with JL & texted with MM.  One short photo from CF.

    House got so cold last night.  I finally turned the heat on & added another blanket.  Then we all felt better.

    Photos are a mix.  I tend to post what I like.  

                                                 

09/2025 - Jueves the 04th - JOURNEY

Marstrand in Sweden.  I road that blue boat back & forth between the island & mainland.  I can see where we ate lunch.  And how I got to my sleeping room. Love being here even though I lost a friendship here.  

Never made it up to the huge building on top of this island.  Steep walk.  Cannot do it.

Today's Name Day:  Gisela

    Same ole day.  Home alone with little human contact.  Still tired.  Slept good last night.  Had a short nap today.  Cinder cuddled most of last night.  Nice.

    Had a few texts from MM & CW.  Those two are such blessings to me.  Shared an AI picture of me with them.  And they talked or laughed at me over it!!!!  Email from JL.  Morning wishes from NGS.

    Stayed cool today.  Rain is now approaching western Kansas.  See if it ignores us here around my house.  Warmer & drier weather starting next week.  Warmer in the 80s as highs.

    Willl try to eat out for lunch & work tomorrow.  Cancelleld going to lunch today.  See how friday goes. 

Last friday after lunch I had my accident.  Scared to go anywhere.  I will work this weekend.  Working for someone.  Not going to take advantage of anyone this weekend.  Plus a new art show from MH.  Plus he talks about his art on sunday.

    Supper was macaroni & cheese.  Me & my plate got to the sofa & I set it down & it promptly tipped over spilling on a blanket.  Surely not my best week.  Luckily it was easy to clean up.  😱. Photo sums up my week.  IYKYK.

    Photos are some old beautiful autumn trees in Lindsborg.  Not here yet.  With our drought maybe nothing pretty this year.  I occasionally see leaves falling off trees now.

 

My family's ancestors' castle, Called Vanås..  I was there twice & walked through the gardens & had ice cream there afterwards.  The gardens are full of art everywhere.

Love this.  Only time I have seen this happen.
