7/2026 - Friday the 11th- MY JOURNEY

 

My family ---- Daisy, Cinder, Kisse.  At least they love me!

Today's Name Day:  Eleonora , Ellinor

I went to school with an Elly.  And used to be friends with an Elly, but no more or ever.

    Last night Cinder got sick.  She was gagging & puked a tiny bit.  Kisse is my usual puker but never Cinder.  She did eat more later.  Odd.  I was so worried.  Ok today.  Both napping in the bedroom.

    Today is just another day at home.  Anxious for the Norway match in FIFA today.  Love Norway.  Ro Ro Ro!!  But no one to share it with.  I learned early on there is no one who wants to talk about FIFA matches with me.  How fun it could be for me.  Could be.

    I love Thierry Henry as an announcer,  He was an awesome player for Arsenal..  Truly dislike Elexi Lalas.  For many years,

    Cooler today but the heat returns soon.  And the 90+ temps are here well into August.  I hate summer.  No rain here for more than the next 10 days.  Back in drought weather.

    I keep hoping for changes here but it never happens.  Hope it does sometime.  Soon I hope.  Hope springs eternal, fool that I am.

    Heard from no one today.  My usual email lady is busy with family.

    I fed Daisy lunch before me.  And I sat outside with her.  She would eat then come & snuggle.  No sign of the feral cat from last night.  I stayed out to make sure Daisy got her full meal.  And I got some love.  She wants to come in soooo bad.  Wish I dared.

    Out of all my good food from the grocery store.  Need to order more for monday.  They don't do weekends.  Macaroni salad is gone.  But still have 3 bean salad.  Have some for supper I guess.

    I tried to take a nap but could not relax.  Have a very stressful appointment next week,.  I am borderline in a panic.  I mentioned how I feel to someone who should care but I got no comments or questions.  I will keep quiet.  Now I am crying again out of fear.

    Lots of pain today.  My arms & knee.  One pain patch left.  I found some on Amazon that will be here in the morning.  Not my usual ones but they will work until mine get here.

    I shared a photo of Daisy looking like she is practicing her stripper dance routine.  I belong to a group that posts things that are not important.  Fun photos.  I got some cute comments on it!!

I like this one.  Mom & her & Mom's cousin in Kansas City all did the same kind of sewing.  And they would chat about their work.

Carved by Bruce Harding who was married to my cousin.  Great carver.

Cute.

In Swensson Park.

I wish more were this.

                                                                       

             

7/2026 - Tuesday the 7th- MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Klas

    Today was a good day of rest at home alone.  I had few spoons to use.  Yesterday really wore me out.  Inside cats sort of stayed close.

    HOT today,  I saw 95 & not much breeze.  Humidity was low.  That is why we get no rain.  Rain & storms possible on Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday.  Time will tell.  As usual I am sure we will miss out.

    I got some mail.  And two boxes came open with individual servings of cat food.  What a mess but I gathered them up easily.  And Daisy joined me on sitting on the steps.  She curled in my lap & purred,  I gave her a reward,  Her fave food

    None of my pictures made it to my laptop.  All photos are old, old ones.  So if they look familiar, they are.  Drives me nuts.

    I need supper.  Hungry.  And thirsty.

The library that was on the Bethany Collelge campus.  I remember it burned down.  It was a cool building.

                                                                                       

         

01/2026 - Jueves the 01st - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day;  Arlen

An old Swedish name day list shows no name today but the app I have showed Arlen.  The name of our hired man before, during & after harvest.  Miss seeing him.  His son worked for us for many years also.  Life changes.  Good for some but not all.

    Had an ok day.  No plans. Was asked out for supper but my nephew & niece came over for a bit.  Worked at fighting depression.

    Today is the anniversary of my best friend John's death.  Think of him so often.  He is buried near Willie & Darren.  Always remember them when near the cemetery.

    I fell asleep on the sofa.  A good nap.  The kids were missing.  No idea where.  But when I got up they both showed up.

    Nice to see family for a short time today.  I had something for them & they were out checking cattle.

    Tired of family photos, etc.  I can only dream.

    JR said there were like 19 motorcycles at the Stuga today.  That happens often.  Marquette KS has a motorcycle museum.  There was a large group like that that parked near the Stuga one day.  And to my surprise they all came into the TrainsWhite Peacock.  But there were no tables in the front room.  I got brave & got the attention of one & told him the next room had a huge table for them to sit at.  They stayed quite a while.

    And JR also said the "for sale" sign is gone from the old Train Brothers building & there is stuff inside.  Wonder what is going on in there.  It will always be Train's to us.  Family business.  Furniture on the front lower floor, wagon repair in the back of the main floor, & radio repair.  Second floor was a funeral business.

    Sitting outside I saw another cat.  That is 2 cats running around the yard.  They both look healthy.  I cannot afford another cat!!  Be fun though.  Love cats.

    Photos are seasonal.  Last ones of the holiday nature.

                        

Old, old photo.

AI Me again.  Cow girl???
