    Nice day.  I slept well.  Great weather.  Wish it would last.

    Worked at the Old Mill.  And we have 2 new employees.  Both are very nice.  Glad to meet them.  Hopefully they will do great jobs!

    I am working on a school called West Kentuck.  I am up to over 100 photos.  I like it.  And cool that there are people there I know --- students, teachers, some relatives.  I saved from photos of the school.  Somebody took some awesome ones.  The building is part of the old town that is part of the Old Mill.  Great afternoon.

    JR, PM, & I went to Jalisco's for supper.  They ended up getting super busy!!  Most were large groups!  Good deal!!  No one I know though.

    I had spots of weeds that were 5 feet tall.  KN & his son came over this afternoon and it all is gone.  Great!!  They are the best.  I do not deserve them!

    Photos are more from Colorado.  How I wish I was there.  Or there was someone to go with me there.  Why do I always want what I cannot have?

    A pretty good day.  I was to meet my brother for lunch but he had to back out.  So I took myself out for lunch.  Someone asked me to eat with her.  We had a nice visit until she got a phone call.   I assume it must have been very important.  But before the call she told me how many Covid cases there were at a place near us.  Time to mask again.  And if they had Covid why are they not at home???

    Then a friend, her husband, & 3 grandkids came in.  Her husband stood & talked to me for a long time.  That was nice.

    My lunch was really good ---- ham, cheese, mayo, & lingon.  Perfect!!  Brought a muffin home.

    Picked up meds before going home.  Still have 2 more to pick up.

    Perfect weather.  Cool, cloudy, light breeze --- perfect.  I sat outside for quite a while with Nico & Cinder.  She loved me being there.  We did lots of cuddling.  Nice to have some love.  Rare for me!

    When I went down the drive way there was a quail sitting on top of one fence post.  I actually got a photo or two of him.

    I have also been watching a plant that I am clueless as to what it is.  Looked online & nothing.  Oh well.

    This week I am sort of done with something.  I have taken the blame & tried to explain what was going on.  It may be time to just give it up.  Makes me sad & it is all my fault.  Explains why I have no friends.  Time to give it up.

    Photos are just prairie plants & Cinder.

    An ok day.  Slept good for a change.  Always good when something good happens.

    Saw my eye dr.  He says my eyes look better.  I wish looking out from them looked better.  Today my left eye was totally blurry.  Right eye was ok.  Sometimes both eyes are blurry or both are good.  They are better when the humidity is higher.  He said what I really need is to move to the Bahamas!!  I am game!  What a dream that would be.

                    

    When I got home I did not feel well.  Very odd.  I was all sweaty & my temp was 96.  Ok now.  Strange. 

     

    Nico & I had a great supper!  I brought home an Arby's sandwich, fries, & an apple turnover.  Nico mostly got meat.  Nice to have something other than what I usually have.

     

                 

    I saw 106F in my car again.  A cold front is moving in.  There is rain north & west of us.  Doubt we get anything.  Sure need some rain for our fall crops.  Willie & I never had fall crops.

    Photos are from my fave church in Lost Springs Kansas.  I heard that someone is working on it.  I hope so.  Lost Springs has an interesting history.  I read & found some great old photos.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Springs,_Kansas

    The cemetery is at the Hebron Lutheran Church that is on the way to Burdick KS.  A group of us took a road trip to Burdick & this church's ladies group fed us lunch.  One of the best I have had!!  In the cemetery I found all these graves with the last name of Train.  I am related to many Train people.  But I had never heard of these people.  But not long after on my genealogy app there was someone I could be related to.  And I was!  Plus his wife had added a lot of his ancestors.  And there were my new Trains.  I knew he & I were related.  The Trains are now in my ancestors.  Very cool!!!

    Worked again at the SVAFC gallery.  I love being there but today was special.  Not one guest came in.  Nada.  The longest 4 hours I have spent in a long time!  But I did 4 spanish lessons & passed to the next level & did one of those lessons.  Did pass the time.  I did write some about things.  Good to be able to express myself with out anyone hearing me.  No one really wants to hear how I feel or anything.  I have a file on my Remarkable 2 where I can bitch or cry or whatever.  And I leave any person out of the equation.

    Yesterday I did a little drawing but not today.

    Normal Kansas weather today.  I saw 106F in the car & I am sure someone or two will argue with me.  Will say no more.

    When I got home my nephew was here, KN.  He walked to the car & we had a great talk.  Just nice to see someone & talk.  He is coming back this week to cut down some tall weeds.  I am making some homemade weed killer.  I meant to do this earlier.  But it all depends on how I feel.

    I cannot explain how miserable it is to always feel bad.  And I won't try.  Hate to bore anyone.

    Got too much on my mind.  Tired of thinking & tired of knowing I have done something wrong & hurt someone.  I am just the best person.  😞  And sorry does not cut it.  Hurt myself.

    I saw a quail fly up into a tree the other day.  That was cool.  I miss seeing them.

    There was a dead fox on the blacktop.  How sad.  Such a pretty animal.

    Photos are still in Colorado.  I cannot remember the river we followed.  People still come out & pan for gold.  One is a very successful business man.  Out every weekend.  Oh, I wish I was there.

     Today I worked from 1-5pm.  Pretty slow.  One lady came in to pick up some stuff.  Found out we were in school together.  I sort of remembered her.  She was a year behind me but I recognised her name.  We had a nice visit.

    Then another lady came in. She said she used to come to Lindsborg to see her grandparents.  I had to ask their names & not only did I know them my husband's uncle married their daughter!!  She sat down & we had a great visit.  And we got everyone figured out.

    When I was little & Dad was a mechanic, there were days he had to drive to Salina for parts, at Lamb's I think  This lady's grandfather always went with us & we would drop him off in at his daughter's so he could see his grandson.  Many years later when I found out that Willie's uncle married that daughter.  And I met the grandson again!  A small world.

    I loved work &  getting to visit with the artist MH.  I am buying his book tomorrow.  I read part of it today.

    I am very lucky my job does not include having to walk, etc.  I would have had to go home.  Actually I would have had to stay home.  But I no longer talk about me.  I am sure I have upset more than one person.  My life, my decisions.

    Photos are still in Colorado.
