These are near my yard.

Today's Name Day:  David, Salomon

I have known many Davids  --- childhood friend, high school friend, cousin or two, adult friends,

    Today was pretty good.  No storms yet.  Maybe later.

    Work today at the Old Mill.  Worked hard on the photos I have selected.  This group is a bit boring.  Lots of people we do not know.  Too many photos of houses or kids, or whatever.  Those are really boring.  But I did find a couple today that were really cool.

    One photo was very old with 2 people in an interesting home.  It utterly fascinated me.  I posted it on our Nostalgia page.  And what I found out was awesome!!!  When Willie & I got married in 1966 our telephone was a "crank" one with a party line of 8 people.  And operators to take our calls to send to others.  And that continued until 1976 at least.  This photo is of the phone office & the operators are Ed & Goldie.  I can still hear them say "number please".  We were the last to get dial telephones.  It was a blessing!!

    The other photo was of a truck from Assaria Oil Company.  That is where I had my oil changed yesterday.  It is still there.  Willie used to have coffee there every morning.  Great place.  Nice people.  Always.  Photo was taken in Lindsborg.

    Our director shared a cookie with us.  I have got to go buy some of them. Chocolate chip with a slight flavor of banana.  MMMM.

    I found an envelope of photos with the coolest name.  Will share when I start on it.  I am anxious for something fun!!!

    Supper was at the Crown & Rye.  I had Salmon & Rice.  To die for.  I got JR & I each a cookie for dessert.  MMM.  Great meal.

    Just checked the radar.  Some storm clouds moving into the state.  Nothing severe is expected.  Good.  Rain couldl wait until after harvest.

    Photos are a mix.. 

Harvest & storms

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 227......

 A bit warmer today. And sunny off and on, But late afternoon it started to rain. What a blessing. Feels so good to be outside in the cool air with falling rain!

Must have slept some last night. The night seemed to be over quickly. The last dream I remember was I was getting married on January 15. There was a man there. Groom? By his clothes I would guess it was 1930s. Very cool!

Took Nico out around 6am and there crossing our driveway were my 3 deer. They stopped to stare and me. I stared back.

JR and I  had supper at Jalisco's. They were slow again. Probably the cold and rainy weather. A friend came to sit with JR and me. Good conversation. She is Swedish and an artist. She was setting up a show today. Have to go see her work.

Had someone on my FB group make a comment about how Covid 19 is a plant just like H1N1 was. Oh really? Idiots out there. I deleted it after someone reported it. And the anti maskers are coming out. Our governor is thinking of making masks mandatory in Kansas. Cases are climbing fast. We need to do something. Ireland and France are going in to lock down. 

Photos are a mix. There is a favorite one of Willie from our last trip to Vegas. There were 2 show girls on the sidewalk. I could take his photo with  them for a small fee. Love it! I miss Vegas. Guess I could go alone. The friends we used to go with probably still go but I would  never be included.  Photo of shoes that I got in Sweden. Love them.Also Barbara Bush's cookie recipe. Clicked on it by mistake but will leave it. I get hungry reading it!!
