5/2026 - Friday 15th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Sofia , Sonja

I have known several Sonjas & a Sofia or two.

Today started out ok. Met LL for lunch at the White Peacock, I had something different. It was ok. Will try something different next time. While eating I swallowed wrong --- down the wrong way. I was so embarressed, Upset LL. What an idiot.

Next on my list was to work at the SVAFC. I love it there. An awesome art show this month. I know the artist. Every morning she paints the sunrise. But the art today was totally different. Hard to explain. Will share a photo. They are like some kind of material, Makes you want to touch them. I did not!

And a sunrise.

Met several nice visitors. Best part of my job there. I asked about someone I was sure I would end up being friends with but I was wrong. Never seen him again. Why do I even try. He is here but keeps away from me. I cannot win. Always mostly alone,

As the day went on I got more & more tired. I was even drinking my V8 Energy. drink. Did not help.

Driving home was awful. I had a pain patch on my knee that failed. My hands were terribly painful. Then my neck & shoulders hurt. That is new.

I always switch my AC & heat from day to night settings, or whatever, I know I did that this morning. I did but what I did I actually turned it all off!!! I got home & the house was 85F. Lordy!!! It is now just normal in here at 10pm. Yikes!!! Poor cats.

I went to bed for a nap. Feel better now. My kitten is still here, No one else. I gave her something my indoor cats like. Man, she scarfed that up. Do it again now. Wish the wild life would stay away. They eat her food & water.

I was going to skip blogging but Spanish was not as bad as usual. I no longer care about it. I stop when I get tired or stressed.

Flowers onour table at the White Peacoc,k.

Have a new app that will take one photo & pick things out of it to make a collage. Fun!!

My grandparents ---- Boppa & Mimi. Wedding photo, married couple & Mimi.

You can rent these bikes in Lindsborg, Some for two, some for 4.

This sits down the street from my brother, No idea why but I had to get a photo.

Flowers at the Old Mill

Today's Name Day: Ferdinand, Nanna

Had a good day.. Had low blood sugar twice overnight. I had a sick stomach when I went to bed. I took some meds that helped. And in thinking about why I came up with an idea of why. I think it is something I am eating. Will cut that out of my diet & see if that helps

Feeling rather alone. Nothing new. I texted someone yesterday with no answer back. A couple of people close to me just plain ignore me. They have time to post all sorts of things but not to me. I will adjust.

Had a painful knee last night. Normal. And my skin is so damn dry & it makes me itch. I bought a different lotion that is supposed to help. And it was in a rheumatoid arthritis group. See if it does.

Cinder actually came to bed & curled up next to me & stayed until 4am. That almost never happens. Very nice. Kisse is still using the pet bed. Great.

I fed Miss Kitty this morning & I swear her tummy looks a bit large. Is she pregnant??? I hope not!! And she really wants to come in the house. She almost made it this evening. Yikes!!!

LL took today off & ran errands, etc. with her hubby. So no lunch out today with her.

Worked at the SVAFC. Great afternoon. Quite a few visitors. Six girls from Kansas City came in. They were fun, nice & I enjoyed them. A group came in from Oregon. The one man with them spent the entire time just talking to me. I liked him. He was entertaining!!

I brought a can of V8 Energy drink. It is a healthy energy drink, The usual ones are not healthy at all. Should not be sold. I never got tired at all.

I also read several books on my Kindle app. on my iPad. Fun. Have to buy a couple more books that I found I really like. I will share what they were. in the photo area. Sure helped me kill time.

I pack a few things to take with me to work there. Right at closing time I had low blood sugar. I ate one half a chocolate chunk cookie.

Supper was at Jalisco's with JR. I hardly heard from him today. Guess he was busy.

Was a good friend's birthday today. And MM celebrated on of his friend's birthday. Wish I could just ignore mine. I only had anything close to a celebration when JS lived here. Once he moved I am ignored except for the usual stuff on FaceBook. And if it was not broadcast no one would care.

It was really cloudy when I went to work. Cool clouds that changed too much by the time I got my iPhone out. No cattle or llamas before work but all were near my yard when I got home. Took photos.

After supper we stopped at the grocery store. I am out of lunch meat. JR must have needed things also. I only got meat.

Did my spanish lesson. Not too frustrating. I almost quit the other night. And ATR has started saying to me after I get my food "Provecho". And I knew exactly what he was saying to me -- "enjoy your meal". He & MS & MA have made a big difference in my learning. Not once did anyone ever try to help me with Swedish. What a difference it makes.

Photos a mix. Not in any organised order.

Great & fun book about gnomes. I found that gnomes actually has 2 meanings. I never knew.

Photo from another book. Super fun to read. Will order a couple of others.

Another book. Swedish authour.

Very cute book about a Swedish tomten & Santa Claus, that are brothers. A fun read.

Clouds at my farm.

Coco.

Larry.

Famous singer from Sweden & Europe. She lived where my cousins live & we were in her museum when she came in. So fun. She hugged us both & had our photos taken. I was honored. Sad she has passed.

Friends. Great memories. Today it is "Coronado's birthday." He made a perfect Coronado!!

Great grandson Sorion. Sitting in a bar & not yet in school!!! Where his Dad worked.

Me & Cinder

White's grocery store

A rare henbit. A weed that are always purple. But one summer I had a couple of them byy my car port that were white. I looked them up. White is rare. Has not happened again.
