Today's Name Day:  Alf , Alvar

I have a friend in Sweden named Alf.  And his wife.  Lots of great memories.  They visit here often,

    Today was a so-so day.  Did not sleep last night.  I tried to nap but nada.  Got a nice short nap after supper.

    Raccoon has been back for a short visit.  All food is gone so not a huge mess.  What a pain.

    We had rain all night.  I got around one & a half inches of rain. Very nice.  No wind here.  Lots of thunder & lightning.  Very loud thunder!!!

    Supper was at Pizza Hut.  Visited with my fave waiter.  He has a quick smile & makes me laugh.

    More severe weather forecast for tonight.  Is getting old.

    First day of summer today.  Now everyday is another day nearer cooler weather.  A good day.  There is rain forecast almost everyday this week until next weekend.  Hope it is just rain.

    Still soaring after my reunion.  Would be nice is some of us could meet for coffee sometimes.

    Sharing family photos today.

Prairie flowers.

Family from Sweden visiting us in Lindsborg.  Really nice family!!

When I was truly happy.  Wish it had lasted.

Today's Name Day:  John , Jane

My best friend was John Burgers.  He was an awesome artist & I am lucky enough to own several of his. paintings.  I miss him so much.  He is buried near Willie.  I talk to both of them often when I drive by there. And MM's father is near them also.  Always talk to him too.

    Today was just the same ole.  Home alone & napping.  Still in lots of pain.  Extra tired.

    I fed & watered the kittens last night around 1am.  All 7 were there.  Today they are gone & hidden somewhere.  Mom was here at noon but has not been back.  No more food eaten.  Keep hoping they will show up.  Maybe tomorrow.

    I saw the llamas but they were no where near enough to get photos of them.  But good to see them.

   Supper at Pizza Hut.  Good.  My fave waiter was there & told me he got a promotion.  Great!!!!  He is the best!!

    Chance of rain this week.  Will benefit KN's corn.  Good timing.

    Hope I am healthy enough to work this week.  Always feel guilty when I am miserable  & stay home.

    The friend who is in charge of our thursday lunch group has quit the group.  Cannot eat with us again but can help organise us if needed..  I wrote 2 texts with suggestions but no one answered so I have deleted them.  Now I wonder if I have done something wrong.  And my guilt is growing.  Who knows.  I will miss eating with them.  I am sure the group is done.  I will take me out on each thursday alone.  Just me.

    Both cats are near me tonight.  They are not eating well at night.  Weather related?  I have tried some new foods but that has not helped.

 

Note the bird I caught.

Willie & his best friend had a combine they took to demolition races. And always won.  They went to the State Fair & won there!!!  Very cool. This is photos of it when Falun had a parade for its 100th anniversary,  Willie is driving.

This is a soccer team in Brazil.  The farthest guy to my right on the front row is my friend,  Great player.  Miss him.
