07/2026 - Monday the 27th - MY JOURNEY

This s what happens to a dala horse in a hot day of 108F.

Today's Name Day: Marta

I had an Aunt Marth. Only Marta I have known.

Today was just another day at home alone. It never changes. You could not pay me to go anywhere today. My eyes could not imagine what I was seeing today. Our high was 108F!!! There was a town in Kansas that hit 110F. Don't remember where. House stayed livable. It was ok. Feels chilly at nigh but letting the refuse to let the entire house heat up & now cool the next day. That was an awful day.

Only communication was an email from JL. Nada from anyone else.

Feeling ok today. Knee is pretty good. Sleep was better last night. Blood sugar is ok. Eating a bit less now. But I check during the night.

Nothing else to say. Will do my photos.

Me in grade school & a Swedish costume. Mom made it.

Me working at a pie sale. Only did it once, Too hot to be outside.

01/2026 - Onsdagen den 28:e - MY JOURNEY

In Sweden, birthdays and name days of some members of the Swedish Royal Family are official flag days. For example, the name day of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden is celebrated on January 28.

Carl Gustaf was born on April 30, 1946 to Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten, and Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His father never ascended the Swedish throne because of his death in an airplane crash in 1947. Carl Gustaf became Crown Prince at the age of four and ascended the throne at the age of 27 upon the deaf of his grandfather, Gustaf VI Adolf, adopting “For Sweden – With the times” (För Sverige – i tiden) as his motto.

Although King Carl XVI Gustaf was born on April 30, his name day is celebrated on January 28. Sweden has its own name day calendar adopted by the Swedish Academy, in which almost every day of the year has a corresponding name. The current name day list was adopted in 2001. Although it has no official status, many people in Sweden celebrate their name day. Name days of the king, the queen, and the heir apparent were officially proclaimed flag days.

On flag days, the national flag of Sweden is flown on all public flagpoles and buildings from sunrise to sunset. However, flag days are not public holidays. They are ordinary work days unless falling on a weekend.

Today's Name Day: Karl, Karla

Known several Carls & my neighbour's daughter is Karla.

I had a full day. After a goodnight I went back to work. I almost forgot how to comb my hair & put on makeup!!

Good to be back at work. But it started out with trouble. I would scan one photo & all was well. Then scan another one & it was a giant blue blob. I finally unplug whatever is plugged into my scanner. Then & only then would it work good.

I have been doing photos from the Smolan school in 1978. One photo was of all the teachers. I knew 1 & recognized 2. I posted it on Lindsborg Nostalgia. And it did not take long & the names started coming in!! I have all but one. It was fun.

Supper was at Jalisco's. Nice to relax with good food & friends.

I was scared to drive home. I got stuck in my drive last night. It was awful. I am not religious at all but I truly believe we all have angels & spirits around us. I did some desperate talking to mine. I finally got to my house. Whew.

KN told me I should have no trouble but to call him if I got stuck again. I had no trouble!! We both were relieved.

MM has been sick for a couple of days. Slow to feel better. A bit better tonight.

I had photos all picked out for tonight & they were not synched in. So upset. But they finally showed up. They are just local shots. I am trying to not post so many. These are from in town.
