Today's Name Day:  Kaj

    Not a good day.  Felt better yesterday but not today.  Have increased pain & cannot stand up normally.  I cancelleld my day.  Some better tonight.  Hope that lasts.

    Not hot here yet.  Another day or two & the dome of heat returns.  No chance for rain in the next 10 days or so.

    Only had a couple of emails.  Nothing from anyone else.  😔.  Adds to my feeling of being alone & abandoned.  But people have lives that do not include me.  Best to be quiet.

    Cinder took over my cloth purse on the sofa.  She napped there all afternoon.  Kisse wanted to be there after our nap.  They stared at each other. No fight.  After supper Kisse has it. 

    TV is ok tonight.  Expedition Unknown is new.  No reruns yet.  Tired of reruns.  Exactly why I do not watch the regular networks.  During Coved they lost me for good.  Shows are all alike  ----  too violent, same stories, boring, etc.  The Expedition shows are interesting.  They take place all over the world.  And I learn things I would not know otherwise.  Tonight this show is in Turkey and digging out old cities & peoples.

    Yesterday I found some old photos of gnomes.  They are part of my photos tonight. Love gnomes.  And flowers too.

So easy to do.  Should make some again.  Lay flowers on a couple of layers of paper towels.  Arrange flowers. on card stock paper. Cover with more paper towels.  Pound with a hammer.

Today's Name Day". Olle, Olof

    Another day at home alone.  My usual day when not working.  Wish I would get used to being alone.  Cats are probably tired of me talking to them.  😻

    I slept pretty well.  And when I napped also.  Kisse stayed with me.  Cinder was somewhere else.

    Woke up from my nap feeling sick,  Wanted nothing for supper.  I ended up with popcorn.  And some cake.  Living the high life.

    Awful weather today.  I saw 99.5F here.  Cool overnight.  Cooler weather starts tomorrow.  Finally.  Rain in NW Kansas.  Not anywhere near here.

    Heard from JL & photos from MM & CW.  They are having fun.  Good for them.

    Not much to say today.  Photos are some really old ones I found.

Today's Name Day:  Esaias, Jessika, Klas

First two names from sunday.  I know an Isaiah.  Known a Jessica or two.

    I did not blog yesterday.  I was far too tired.  MM got severely ill & I stayed awake in case he called,  Other than that I slept good,

    Yesterday I worked at SVAFC.  Sort of quiet.  I fell asleep once but MH came in & woke me!!!  Then visitors were  in often enough I stayed awake.  Then I forgot on sundays a group of string players come in to play together.  Beautiful music.  I enjoyed it.

    Supper was with friends at Pizza Hut..  Lots of laughing & warm feelings.  And I got a couple of suprise gifts!  Needed a fun time.

    Today was a day off.  Slept well & took a nice nap.  THEN.  I got up & gathered trash bags & took them outside.  Missed last week due to rain,  I need to take trash out as they are filled but that depends on how much pain I have.  Today it did not matter.  Trash had to go,  I did it all without backup.  No one to ask. Everyone is too busy, or they are too sick, or they could not care less about me if they tried.  I never have backup anymore.  I used to.  But no more.  Tis my life.

    MM is home but has not texted or called.  Hope today went good for him,  I still worry.  I saw he had visitors while in the hospital yesterday.  I am so grateful to them.  Special friends.

    Photos are drawings I like.

Love this one,

I need this.  It would feel so good.

Ready.

Photo is appropriate in the rest of Kansas but not here.

Today's Name Day:  Vilhelmina, Vilma

Knew at least one Wilma.

    I got next to no sleep last night.  Tired today.  Have had rain.  Southern & western Kansas have gotten up to 4 inches or more of rain.  I got a measely half inch.  We always get left out around here.

    I have many bags of trash to take out but it rained most of the day.  I gave up to nap.  But woke up early & rain has stopped for now.  Carried the bags out.  Great!!!  Knocked my blood sugar down but had a snack.  Should be ok.

    Just read that in Liverpool England there was a parade for the Liverpool soccer team in the Premier League victory parade.  It was an open top bus victory parade.  A car ploughed in to the parade & crowd.  The car sped up before he hit the crowd.  How sad.  The driver was arrested.  I love soccer so extra sad for me.  Unknown if anyone was injured or not.  Too soon.

    Think the Memorial Day events took place today.  Good.

    Heard from CF.  Nice family time for him.  I cannot remember times with family.  Too many years.  No family time with Mom's family.  There are gatherings but we are never included.  And I cannot be included in Willie's family stuff.  Makes me sad.  There is one person who has caused a lot troublel on both sides.

    I am glad Willie's grave is not vandalized.  Same person does that too with a helper.

    Stayed really cool today.  In the 50s & sort of foggy with rain.  My favorite weather.  Wish it would happen more often & forget those awful 90s days.  Hot weather makes me feel sick.

    There is a fly irritating me while I key.  I have bug spray but he won't sit still long enough.

    I even have supper planned.  Mac & cheese.  Love it!!

    Photos are a mix.  Nothing special.

This is a photo of an old old building that was in my family.  The Fair Store.  I need to find our more info about it.  Part of Trains Brothers in it.  Sold hardware & implements.  Does not exist any more.  Near where Mom grew up.
