Today's Name Day:  Hampus, Hans

Have a friend now in Sweden name Hans.  I have met him.  Cool.  Grew up with a guy named Hans Peter.

    My day started very good, but ended really bad.  I am not up to writing a blog tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.  I am sort of ok but not up to par.

    Nice weather.  Slept ok.  All was well until lunch was over.  Disappointed I could not go to Jalisco's.  Next week.

    Have a great evening & tomorrow.  Photos are a mix.  One app made some collages from my photos & I have used those.

White Cross hill is near my house to the east.  Many years ago immigrants created the cross our of rocks & white paint.  Taken care of to this day.

Today's Name Day:  Henrietta, Henrika

Knew a Henrietta who was a neighbour & mother of a good friend.

    Had a very good day after an awful night. I went to bed & then I could not find my glucose sensor reader.  I searched the entire house more than once.  It was nowhere.  I was sure that when my blood sugar got too high or too low & then it would beep.  No beep all night.

    After I was dressed for lunch I called the company who makes my sensor to order a new one.  They were super nice & one is on the way.  Be here in 5 days.  Right after we said goodbye I heard my sensor beep softly.  It was somewhere in the bedroom.  Never found it.

    Then I got home tonight after supper I went to take a nap & then I saw it.  Nap never happened.  Could not relax. Cinder did cuddle with me.  I have changed my sensor.  It has to sit for one hour before it works,  Now up & blogging & waiting.

    Lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Got a table which is always nice.  Good visit.  Most of the kids who came in ordered then left.

    Then I worked at the SVAFC.  I was a bit tired, but kept busy.  Visitors were sort of steady.  Lots of kids walking by but not coming in.  One lady did come in who knew our artist.  We had a great conversation.

    There was a huge bouquet of wildflowers on the desk in the gallery,  I will have photos of it tomorrow.  I see no flowers anywhere near where I live.  Sad.  No photos for me then.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  Did not know any of the workers.  But they all were nice.  I had the shrimp basket with potato wedges.  Next time just curly fries.

    Weather was a bit warm.  Cooler on sunday.  I hope.

    Photos are more flowers.  They are again from the Rosberg House a few years ago.  They all got replanted this summer.  I hope to get some new photos soon.

I sure miss my baby.  The pain never stops.

The pool is open.  Decided to take a photo or two.  The kids noticed so they were laughing & posing.  One boy yelled at me "Hi Grandma!"

Today's Name Day:  Aina, Aino

    The last week finally caught up with me.  Started the day with lunch with LL at the White Peacock,  They were not too busy.  Got to chat with MH also.

    Then on to the Old Mill to work.  A local lady had some photos she brought in but wanted back.  I scanned them first.  She had some cool old Hyllningsfest photos.  Hyllningsfest means tribute party according to the translator.

    After those on to the real photos.  Boring today.  Pictures of little kids & no names.  Gonna be a long time.  There are dozens of photos of houses.  Must have been for sale back in the day.

    I was beyond tired.  The time seemed to drag.  FINALLY 430 arrived & I left.

    On the way home a song hit me far too hard.  Wow.  So unexpected.  Will not say what song or anything.  The real me is only seen in my diary app.  And it is not for anyone but me.  No one needs to know the real me.  It was still hitting me hard when I climbed into bed for a nap.  Both cats suddenly appeared.  Sure needed them.

    Hot again.  Maybe harvest today.  Don't know.  Rain is forecast for some places in Kansas.

    Photos are a mix.  Lots of flowers.

Social Media Day

Today's Name Day: Elof, Leif

    Today turned out to be a sofa/heating pad day.  I got little sleep last night & with the changing weather my RA pain is really bad.  Cinder & I did get a nice nap this afternoon.

    Had a nice cool day.  Last nite was in the 60s & this high today was 77F.  Heaven.  And with all the weather changes we got not one drop of rain.  It was all in the south.  Of course.  I have a friend who lives between Hutch & Pratt who had 5 inches starting last night at 230am.  They drove around & said all the ponds are full again.  Lucky for them!!

    Now that we had a nice day the weather is back for the super high temps & warnings & high winds.  We have a very slight chance of rain later tonight.  I expect it all to stay north of us.  As usual.

    Not much happening for me.  A few more texts today.  And my grandson I have not seen in a couple of years is visiting his other grandparents.  Lucky them.  I have no chance of seeing him anytime soon.  Lucky my other grandson lives here.  He is a big support for me.

    I was invited to a birthday party tonight but do to increase pain & no sleep I cancelled.  Hard to walk so there is no point to go anywhere.  And a bog crowd for me to try to get around with.  Hope tomorrow is better.  Maybe I can eat out for supper.  Maybe.  See how I feel.

    Photos are a true mix!!  Some family, some fur kids, some autumn ones.

                    

I was surrounded this morning.

Iam always in pain with his loss.

Photos of grands today.  Only missing one great grandson.

A very old sign on the old Meridian highway.  My historical group is replacing just the center of it.  The paint is bad.
