I have created this graphic from 2 photos I had.

Today's Name Day:  Eilert, Evert

I have known an Eilert.  Willie had an uncle Everette.

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  It rained with lightning & thunder overnight.  Less pain for a change.  And my blood sugar mostly was ok.

    Met LL for lunch at the White Peacock today.  Been far too long since we met.  Nice conversation.  T"hey were comfortably busy.

    When I left for town there was no rain at my house but on the Burma Road it poured down!!  Got to town it was light rain then it stopped.

    Today was my first day back at work.  Finished the small pile of photos I had waiting for me.  They were mostly boring ones.  Few names.  Then I started on the next pile of photos.  They were much worse.  I knew no one & neither did LL.  Lots of kids with no idea what was going on.

    Picked up JR for supper.  There was no parking spots anywhere near Jalisco's.  Only place was the handicap parking spot near the Sale BARn so that was where we ate.  Short walk for me.  Good to see the three waiters I know.  All were friendly.  JR tried something new that he really liked.  I had one that I like & a salad instead of fries.  We ended up at the Barnyard Creamery for ice cream for dessert.  They are soon closing for the winter months.  Will miss them.

    I was tired & had a short nap when I got home.  Kids too.

    Photos are several from today & more.

10/2025 - Domingo the 05th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Bror

Have a good friend in Sweden who kept the name bror for his last name --- Brorson.  Bror means brother.

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  Worked this afternoon,  I work one more saturday then I am off until next january.  Going to have to go in just to sit & people watch.  Will sure miss being there.  Holiday open house with gifts to buy for the holiday.  I cannot do that.  Neither can MH.  We both are off for a couple of months.

    Yesterday I was busy but today was quiet.  Had a total of 6 visitors.  One friend did stay to chat for a while.  Nice.  But I had things I brought with me to work to occupy my time.

    Warm again & windy again.  Better than yesterday.  Mid afternoon a huge group of bicyclists went down Main Street.  Wish I had known & had my camera ready.  Missed them.

    I saw MM on a sidewalk near the Main & Lincoln corner.  He saw me & walked down to my car to visit.  Nice.

    Last night MM & CW sent me a photo of them together with the message "We love you".  I got tears.  They are now my iPhone wallpaper.  Thought MM might would have a tear also!!  The 3 of us do love each other.

    Supper tonight was pizza at Pizza Hut.  Odd my stomache has felt good for several days.  I am enjoying it.  Dessert was a small ice cream.  So habit forming!!!!

    Fotos are mostly autumn.  Plus some really old fotos of me as a young child. And one nice one of Willie & I.  😊

    On the way home I saw lightning to the north & south.  Sort of backed off right now.  Cooler tomorrow.

          

I am in the middle with 2 friends. Jennifer Ditch lived across the alley from me in the old hospital apartment house,  Verdell Purkey lived next door in the upstairs apartment.  She was my best friend until they moved.

Nice group shot.  Larry & Linda Strahan were twins.  She played with us sometimes.  Norman Fahrer had a brother in my class named Wally.  Their father was a professor at Bethany College.  Wally is a pastor in England now.  Lynn Hafphermel was a bright red head,  He was murdered when college age.  Too young.  Jennifer Ditch & her little brother Timmy lived across the alley from me.

Willie & I at Mom's house after my high school graduation. You can see Mom in the background.  A really good photo of us.  There are so few,  I get tears looking at this photo.  We were married soon after I graduated,

This is Lindsborg KS but no idea what is going on.  I can zoom in to see some of the businesses names.  Cool photo.

                                     

09/2025 - Martes the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Helge

    Had a day of rest.  Chatted with a friend or two in email or texts.  Have one friend traveling back home today.  I think.  Hoping for a safe trip.  MM worked.

    I had plans for lunch out but for me it changed.  Just rested today.

    Hoping to work tomorrow.  Those fotos are not scanning themselves.

    Fotos today are flowers & autumn.  Too tired to blog much. And nothing to say being home alone.
