6/2026 - Monday the 1st - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Gun , Gunnel


    Today was a good day.  Did not sleep the best after 3am.  But I survived.  Started my day with picking up a grocery order up at White's.  By not using my credit card I am losing lots of money from my credit card.  I get money back each month from my card by shopping at places I have added.  I saw how much I lost in May.  Too much.  No more.  And it sure helps to look at the online food list to see what I have been clueless what they have to order.  Had a great supper tonigh!!!  About time!!
    Lunch was at the Sale Barn.  MM was working as bartender today & training a new hire.  An old friend sat across the aisle from me & we had a great visit.  We eat at a lot of the same places but never close enough to have a real coversation.  We both enjoyed our lunches.  Always good to have someone who will actually listen to me & answer.  KN & some of his family came in.  I needed to talk to him about my dryer.  Something neither of us had thought about.  He will see if maybe it could work.  Save me a ton of money.  I know that no one cares how much money I have to dole out. 
    MM paid for my lunch but wrote up a ticket for $0.01 so I could tip the new hire.  Good idea!!  She got my tip then.  She seems really nice.  Need to eat there at noon more often.  Or at Pizza Hut for lunch.  See my friend who is manager.  Like him.
    I ate real food today.  No lunch meat.  Had shrimp & fries for lunch.  Fried chicken & potato salad for supper..  Supposedly chicken & potato salad are not sold in the grocery store around supper so I can never got any of them.  Cinder begged for chicken.  I let her lick my plate.  She was grateful.
    My youngest great grandson has been here all weekend.  I got photos of him.  Went home today.  He had a piano lesson.
    Went home & directly to bed.  Great nap.  Both cats slept with me in bed.  Sweet babysitters!!!
    Ordered some bamboo boxes that are in a huge box.  Got to carry it in the house & deal with it later.
    Catching up on my soaps.  Spanish comes next.  I did not get docked for missing a day.  I push myself far too hard.  Good to know.  Will do what I can.  And if I miss a day it is no big deal.
    Bad storms in far western Kansas this late afternoon.  Baseball size hail, strong winds over 70mph.  Heavy rains.  Scary video from locall weathermen.  They are not sure if these storms will keep moving east & affect my farm ---- either tonight or tomorrow.  I am home all day tomorrow.  Make sure things are all charged up this time.
    There was a huge bus in town on Saturday.  It was from Missouri.  Another one was parked near Main Street today.  Probably let all the passengers out to roam around the shops & restaurants.  Good to see!!


Love this one,



Photo I took of a sign for visitors to see when they enter town.






Sale Barn lunch photos.  It used to be called Farley's.  Used glass!!

Bison head on the wall,




Side door,  I can park ini the handicap parking spot.  Then a very short walk to enter the bar from the patio,  Love it!


Nico in his window,  He always waited here for me to come home,  I still always look at this window when I come home,

Nico,



I can only dream.  Oh well.  No one cares anymore.

5/2026 - Thursday 7th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Carita , Carina
I do not know these names.  Had one ancestor called Aunt Carrie.  Close as I get.


    Today was actually great!!  What a surprise.  I knew part of it would be but it ended even better.
    Night was awful.  I could not keep my eyes open so missed Colbert.  Fell asleep right away.  Woke up later freezing to death!!  I pulled up my weighted blanket.  I finally warmed up & then I was too warm.  Blanket off.
    My blood sugar was constantly low all night.  And I had even took less insulin.  I do not understand.  I wonder if the med I take for my neuropathy is changing things inside me.  Who knows???
    I met a newer friend for coffee at the White Peacock.  She is in charge of a building in town.  Plus she is on the SVAFC board.  When she is supposed to work & cannot then she calls me.  I love those calls from several people,  A fun coffee!  She has had the most interesting life.  I love hearing about it.  We plan on meeting again.  Very nice.
    I called MM to see if he was at work.  He was so I went to the Sale Barn.  We sat outside for a while but then I moved inside when he got busy.  I decided to have supper there.  Better than me cooking,  Had a burger with egg & cheese & fries.  
    A guy who works there is also a professional singer.  And works hard at that.  He even said I looked prettier than when we first met.  MM said I am Grandma so he renamed me  Grandma Hottie!!!  What a fun guy!  Nice to laugh!.  And truly sweet guy.  I warned him he was making my blog tonight!!!  So here he is!!!
    On they way home I stopped to see Willie.  His flowers looked so bad.   I had 2 last bouquets in the trunk of the car so his grave looks better now.  Someone planted daisies behind his grave & they looked awesome.  Took lots of photos,  Said hello to MM's father & my best friend John,  Cemetery looks good.  I have lots of new flowers that have come.  Ready to make graves look good.  A couple of graves have peonies on them.  Took more photos.
    Got home and a very lazy mail man drove up in my yard.  He was no where near my car port or porch.  Or even my trash bins.  He tossed a box on the ground and went on his merry way.  Need to complain. Found 2 packages in the ditch behind my mail box.  One was totally ruined.  The other one was ok.
    Although a great day, got sad news at noon.  A local man I really liked & respected passed away today.  So sad.  Peace & hugs to his family.
    Still no baby cats.  Starting to worry again.  They have to be starving.  I keep calling,  Only get a possum & a racoon.  Dang.
