8/2026 - Wednesday the 19th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Måns , Magnus

I have known a Magnus since he was a child.  His grandmother would bring him to my Swedish Friendship group.  Now he is an adult married man.  Super nice.

    Today was an ok day.  Good night of sleep.  Less pain.  Always nice.  I had a spell of low blood sugar at the end of work & nothing to eat in my purse.  I never let that happen , but it did today.  I survived.  LL helped.  At supper treated myself to Mexican soda.  Too good for words.

    Finished one set of photos,  And started a new one.  Even found some photos with names & writing on them.  Always fun to share & see if anyone knows anything.

    There was rain in town this morning.  Nary a drop in my yard,  As usual,  We are officially in the drought area of Kansas,  Sad.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  My usual friends were off today.  Glad MA was working today.  He always talks when he has time.

    I noticed our one business in town selling used stuff was packed with people.  And so was our swimming pool,  It closes this sunday.  No more fun!!

    Did not sit out with Daisy today.  Will have time tomorrow.

    Need groceries tomorrow.  My next job.

Too die for!!!!

Friends at Jalisco's always take liberty with my bill!!!

6/2026 - Thursday the 4th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Solbritt , Solveig

    Today was not good.  I was very sick overnight & awake many hours.  Almost needed to go to the ER.  I cancelled today.  Disappointed.  Had nice plans.  Not this week.

    Weather has been ok,  Maybe a bit cooler.  Light rain on occasion.  Not enough to get excited about.  Western Kansas had places with up to 5" or so.  They really needed it.  They have missed out on lots of rain.  We are not quite that bad here.

    On the news it is official the rains were too late for our wheat.  But will help fall crops.  I hope.  Local weatherman did say something great.  He says he sees no super hot weather on the way here.  I sure hope he is correct!!!  Short time hope.

    Found some new cat food.  Daisy liked it.  I am sure Cinder & Kisse would turn their noses up.  Soo picky.  Even the foods they like they are picky about.  Don't know what do to.  I try new things in case they will like it.  Daisy is set for life!!!  She eats anything!!

    Everyone is quiet today,  Just a short email from JL.  Sometimes I feel people are not wanting to be my friend.  Had one new friend I was so sure we would be friends.  Never saw him again.  We have mutual friends, just not with me.  I cry thinking about it.  Had one fun afternoon.  Scared of losing 2 recent new friends.  Makes me sad.  Feel like I just cannot win.  Definitely something wrong with me.

    I did hear from an old friend from Guatemala.  Great artist.  Spent lots of time with him when he was in this country.  But he has turned political & is busy at his home but the other night he wrote to me.  Great to hear from him.  Nice.  Glad we are still friends.

    MM is away for a famiy wedding.  Looks like he is having fun.  I am a bit jealous.  I rarely to never have those kind of days.  Ignored by family & friends.

    Back at the gallery tomorrow.  New show.  Anxious to see.  I know what it is.  But not seen anything about it.

    I hate the tv.  Awful.  Have a special video on the DishTV does.  I am fighting tears.  Just need noise.  Cinder was on me. Will call her back when I am done blogging.

    Photos are a mix..  Nothing special.  Trying to not share so many.  People maybe don't care.

Lucky photo!! Timed it just right.  Distant relative.

Really miss being part of harvest.  Want to take photos but hate to bother anyone.

Estes Park.  Love the hotel.

Photos I took in Marstrand Sweden

New photos I found in town,  Made a collage with them.

Willie when he trucked for Gerald's Trucking.  Hauledl cattle & grain.  I miss those days.  What fun.  Wish I could have lived in his semi.

Graduation photo when I graduated from nursing school,  I rarely talk about being a nurse,  Too many coworkers hated me,  And they worked hard at being cruel to me & other LPNs.  Some painful memories.
