12/2025 - Jueves the 25h - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Noel, Holly

I have known both a Noel & a Holly.  

One name day list has no day on Christmas Day.  But an app I have showed some names.

    I have survived.  Finally feel human.  The day started very foggy.  Super dense fog that last until after lunch.  Beautiful!!  But scary to drive in.  A neighbout pulled out of his drive in front of me.  Not sure he even stopped to look.  He blended in the fog & I almost drove into him.

    I had to go to Lindsborg KS to run an errand for JR.  In return he had some groceries he shared with me.  Cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie.  Yummy!!!!  I am ready for supper!!!

    I drove around town & took photos of areas of fog.

    On the way home I drove to the Smoky Hill Cemetery on Coronado Heights.  They have planted dozens of trees!!  Very cool.  I chatted with Willie.   I sure miss him & miss Christmas with his family.  Those were good times.  Now I am either alone at home or in  JR's office.  No family gatherings for me.  Chatted with Darren & John also.  This year our celebration is on Friday.  As long as I am still ok.

    I never thought to ask about the Old Mill if open on friday.  They are open but I won't be there.  Still Christmas for me & JR.

    Have a large group of friends celebrating in Mexico.  Lucky them!!!  I should have went when MA used to ask me to go with them.  Now it is too late for me to go anywhere.

    I am mostly over Christmas.  No more sharing photos about it.  I am done.  This year about did me in.  I definitely whined too much.  Got a little sympathy.  Or support.  Most people just do not care.  

    Maybe I can drive around town tomorrow & take some photos.  See if JR is in the mood.  But I can go alone.

    One guy on the news just said that he feels he is only 20 years old inside.  But if he tries to get up out of his chair he is suddenly feels 127 years old!!!  Boy do I know!!!

    It was warm enough today that many towns in Kansas broke high temp records.  Salina did not even get close.  Tomorrow is too warm also.  Cold on sunday.  No chance for any kind of  rain/snow for at least 10 days or more.  Back in drought mode.

    Still working on my Spanish lessons.  They got horrible for awhile & easier lately.  Nerve wracking!!!

    Photos today are snowmen & fog.  Not many.

Fog in Lindsborg KS today.. North Main Street.

08/2025 - Jueves the 28th - JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Fatima, Leila

    Pretty good day.  Slept good when I finally fell asleep.  Had a thunderstorm around 3am.  Had some thunder & lightning.  I got a total of 0.68".  More than usual.  Nice.  Today stayed cloudy & dry.  Pretty cool.  Nice.  Hope this weather lasts for a long time.

    Lunch with girlfriends was cancelled.  Will meet next week.  I was tired so not upset.

    Jalisco's reopened.  Totally new look.  Will miss the brick walls.

    Met my artist friend RG.  We met at the Sale BARn.  I was a bit early & got to make friends with our waitress & the owner of the business who is also the cook.  Got bad news though.  RG is leaving earlier than he & I thought.  He goes home on saturday.  Dang.  I love his company.  He is fun to talk to but I always talk too much. Probably since I an lonely often.  Next year he is not here until September.  Too long to wait.  We have decided to make phone calls.  Be nice.

    Lowering my insulin is better so far.  RA sucks big time.  Awful.

    When I headed for home I noticed how low my fuel was.  Yikes!!!  Thank goodness I was still in town.  Close call.

    Photos are flowers & a mix.

I would love to have this!

 

08/2025 - Domingo the 3rd- JOURNEY

Cool summer corner in town.  I finally got a photo of it.

Today's Name Day:  Tage

    Had a busy day.  Worked at the SVAFC.  Visitors were pretty steady.  Met many nice people.  Some familiar, some new.  An art opening at the local art gallery attracted many people to town

    Since it is sunday, the string group came in to play.  Very pretty.  I enjoyed them.

    New man in town that is a pain.  He trapped LL & I in the Peacock & had no idea how to be quiet & say goodbye.  He came in 3 times today.  He was rude to me.  Told me he did not want to talk to me.  Left slamming the door.  In again for the second time.  He wanted to talk to who worked on saturday.  How would I know?  Slammed the door again.  Then the third time.  Now he is pissed at my town.  Complaining people are rude.  Must be politics..  More slamming.  Later I heard that he has maybe been banned from the Peacock & maybe the Stuga.  What a mess.

    Supper was pizza,  Very good but I ate too fast.  Then had an awful coughing spell,  Yikes!!!

    Dessert was soft serve ice cream.  Made me feel better.

    Got home & a mosquito came in the house.  He was wild!!!!  I had my repel stickers on.  Did not matter.  I finally killed him when landed on me.  I wonder how many bites I got that I am clueless about.  My back it itching.  Real bites or paranoid???  I have itching problems from my RA.  Who knows.  Not seen a second one yet.  GRRRR.  I hate summers in Kansas.

    Two storms in the west of the state now.  One is small, one is medium to large.  Will they make it here??

    I drove home & got so depressed.  Why???  Had a friend who says all the right things to me but is always too busy to spend time with me.  He is super inportant to me in my life.  MM sent me a photo of the two of them.  I am always excluded.

    I spent extra time at MM's father's grave.  Today is the anniversary of his death,  Plus today is MM's oldest son's 6th birthday.  NO ONE in his family has made it possible for him to see any of his sons on their birthdays or Fathers Day,  How awful.  He may never get to see his youngest.  His mother is evil.  She is a liar, hateful, self center screws around.  She lies to him & lied to me many times.  Know it now,  Wish I could work miracles.

    Photos are a mix of odd things.

These are the alley behind the SVAFC.

Love & miss my baby.  Every day.

Another earthquake today.  This is #3.  Near where I live.
