8/2026 - Wednesday the 19th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Måns , Magnus

I have known a Magnus since he was a child.  His grandmother would bring him to my Swedish Friendship group.  Now he is an adult married man.  Super nice.

    Today was an ok day.  Good night of sleep.  Less pain.  Always nice.  I had a spell of low blood sugar at the end of work & nothing to eat in my purse.  I never let that happen , but it did today.  I survived.  LL helped.  At supper treated myself to Mexican soda.  Too good for words.

    Finished one set of photos,  And started a new one.  Even found some photos with names & writing on them.  Always fun to share & see if anyone knows anything.

    There was rain in town this morning.  Nary a drop in my yard,  As usual,  We are officially in the drought area of Kansas,  Sad.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  My usual friends were off today.  Glad MA was working today.  He always talks when he has time.

    I noticed our one business in town selling used stuff was packed with people.  And so was our swimming pool,  It closes this sunday.  No more fun!!

    Did not sit out with Daisy today.  Will have time tomorrow.

    Need groceries tomorrow.  My next job.

Too die for!!!!

Friends at Jalisco's always take liberty with my bill!!!

Daisy

10/2025 - Martes the 28th - MY JOURNEY

 

Saw this in town in 1921.  Loved it!!!

Today's Name Day:  Simon, Simone

    Not a bad day.  Slept fair.  Not a lot of pain.

    Email from JL.  I like those & her.  Good to talk to each other.  She is a talented artist/sewer/cook.  I can only dream.

    Lots of photos & texts from MM.  He is on they way home.  Had a very early morning layover in Washington DC.  Now headed this way.

    Had rain overnight.  I got around half an inch.  Surprised.  Ended by noon.  Now in a high wind warning.  Was around 30mph & is increasing.  Worse tomorrow & colder from from a front arriving.  Freeze warninfg for here.  Another chance of rain maybe.  Halloween should be ok weather.  Next week dry.

    We never had Halloween on our farm.  Got around 3 kids from friends.  Most fun was when Mom was in Bethany Home.  I always made sure she had a costume of a hat, long wig of blonde/red hair & a robe/gown.  The home supplied a container for candy & kept lots of candy in her room.

    One year the man across the hall did not want to participate & the help was ignoring him & he was so  upset.  Everyone who wanted to pass out candy had a poster by their door.  I finally told him I would fix it all for him.  I removed the poster, took the chair they put in his room & the container for candy.  I took it all for me & told him to just close his door & he would be ok.  Soooo.  I had my own chair, my own container that the home kept full for me.  He was happy & so was I.  I had fun!!!  Miss those days.  Just ignore it now.  JR could pass out candy but refuses to be part of anything.  I could join but not gonna happen.

    Time changes this weekend.  The heat loving people are sure whining.  Not me.  Bring winter on!!! Love it!!  It will be dark earlier but I never go far in the dark anymore.  If I want to eat somewhere special I will take myself at noon where ever I want.  Need to do that often.  If I did not have pets I could go away for a weekend but that is ok.  I would miss them too much.

    Photos are seasonal mixes.  No halloween today.  Tomorrow maybe.

  

Old tractor at my neighours,  Love it!!

Utah.  Bryce Canyon I think.  Love it there, Wish I could go back,

Miss my baby.  He is always in my heart,

My cuddle bunny.  She sleeps with often.

                                                                    

    

The Plague, Day 161.....

It was an OK day. JR and I went to Jalisco's. JS was out of town so MA worked. Splurged and had ice cream for dessert. Then we went to a friend's house to get some bricks for me and our cousin ND2.

Three couples came in to Jalisco's with no masks. We have at least 1 case of Covid in town and maybe more. And no masks. SMH. And then they get sick and want our sympathy and money. Not from me.

The hot weather has returned. I saw 98F. Humidity was ok today but will get higher. 

Photos are the first 3 are from Utah. Then photos from today. The yellow flowers are Wax Goldenweed. This year I have no sunflowers. There are a very few plants in my drive that may bloom. Odd. I miss them. Pink ones are Ladys Thumb. And then of course is Brown Eyed Susan. 

The soccer photos is from a few years ago when 2 good friends played for Bethany College. What awesome days. Very cool for me. The team captain would walk over to greet me and sometimes give me a hug. The other friend would greet me after the match and sometimes give me a hug. ME?? Of all people!!
