03/2024 Måndag the 18th - Wandering & Capturing Moments


 

National Sloppy Joe Day


Today's Name Day: Edmund, Edvard


    Had a pretty good day.  Not much sleep last night but I survived.  

    I had to gather all the trash bags in the house & toss them out the front door.  I never got rid of any 2 weeks ago so I had many extra.  And lots of boxes.

    I picked up JR to come help me.  Hard to walk this last week.  Very frustrating.  All got picked up for trash guys in the morning,

    We stopped on Coronado Heights,  A memorial was reported on the steps going to the top of the castle.  Cannot reach it.  Waaaay tooooo high up.  I contacted our board president.  Sent photos.  The castle was quite clean aside from graffiti on the walls & tables.  And the road was perfect.  Very nice.

    Stopped at Willie's grave to make sure one of our kids had not trashed it again.  Lordy, I love families!  But it was ok.  I added some flowers & some to my friend John's grave too.  He needs all new ones.  Bad looking flowers,  Will go back to replace.  No one else puts flowers on his grave.  Be sad when I am gone.  There will be no one to care.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Good to see every one.  And there is a birthday coming up soon.  I am even invited.  A nice surprise.

    Some local gossip.  A gym is opening in a large building on Main Street.  No interest to me.  And I heard a new building is being built for another ice cream place.  That sounds fun.  Time will tell how accurate the gossip is.

    Cinder went out before JR was here..  We saw her once but she left us alone.  When I got home after supper she was on the porch ready to come in.  She ate & went to sleep somewhere.  Kisse is curled up next to me.  I need a blanket.  I am chilly.  Even socks are not helping!

    Watching a cool tv show on trying to bring back to life the whooly mammoth.  They are now headed to the northern Siberia to search for bones. They are in the coldest town in the world,  But as it is summer it looks very nice.  Interesting,

    Photos are from Sweden.  They sure make me wish I could return there.  Sad for me.  Won't ever happen.

                            






This is Marstrand Sweden, an island.  I can see where I ate breakfast every morning, the street to my room, the ferry, places I shopped.  Love it there.

10 october, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

                                                                     


    Had a very good day!!  Slept good last night with very little pain.  Nice for a change.  Nico only barked only once.  A blessing!

    Nico & I sat outside this morning.  All of a sudden I heard someone talking!!  Yikes!!  It was my nephew's uncle in my shed.  He is there often!!  He was trying to control his dog & I had Nico who could not be quiet!!  A little early morning excitement!

    I picked up my brother to help with trash before my grandson is here tomorrow.  I had it all in bags.  He carried the bags out & then flattened boxes to add in the trash bins.

    After trash we drove up to Coronado Heights.  The road has been fixed & so has the top.  It was all good except on problem spot.  That was no good at all.  The top was great!  All smooth with no deep holes!  And a large monument that tipped in a large flood has been straightened.  Looks wonderful!

    Then I drove through the cemetery near there to see Willie & other relatives.  Need to put new flowers out when it is cooler & I am not busy.  Our great grandparents had a huge bouquet.  No idea who put it on there.  Very nice.  The usual ones who did that are now all dead or in a nursing home.  Others have never bothered.

    We went to the White Peacock for an early supper.  I was worried about my stomach after supper last night.  I settled on an Italian cream soda, a few chips, & a cranberry lemon muffin.  It was perfect.  Not everyone makes a good Italian soda but today it was yummy!!

    Near perfect weather today. Temps were 43F & 80F.  Some rain in southern Kansas.  We have a chance tomorrow evening.  Won't hold my breath.  Then cooler.  Good news.  We really need rain.  Wheat is being planted or is planted.  Won't be good without moisture.

    Photos today are all from the White Peacock.  Good to see them busy today.  I need to try harder to go there.  Time for hot chocolate!!
