4/2026 - Fredag den 3:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Flowers at the Old Mill


Today's Name Day:  Ferdinand,  Nanna

    Had a good day..  Had low blood sugar twice overnight.  I had a sick stomach when I went to bed.  I took some meds that helped.  And in thinking about why I came up with an idea of why.  I think it is something I am eating.  Will cut that out of my diet & see if that helps
    Feeling rather alone.  Nothing new.  I texted someone yesterday with no answer back.  A couple of people close to me just plain ignore me.  They have time to post all sorts of things but not to me.  I will adjust.
    Had a painful knee last night.  Normal.  And my skin is so damn dry & it makes me itch.  I bought a different lotion that is supposed to help.  And it was in a rheumatoid arthritis group.  See if it does.
    Cinder actually came to bed & curled up next to me & stayed until 4am.  That almost never happens.  Very nice.  Kisse is still using the pet bed.  Great.
    I fed Miss Kitty this morning & I swear her tummy looks a bit large.  Is she pregnant??? I hope not!!  And she really wants to come in the house.  She almost made it this evening.  Yikes!!!
    LL took today off & ran errands, etc. with her hubby.  So no lunch out today with her.
    Worked at the SVAFC.  Great afternoon.  Quite a few visitors. Six girls from Kansas City came in.  They  were fun, nice & I enjoyed them.  A group came in from Oregon.  The one man with them spent the entire time just talking to me.  I liked him.  He was entertaining!!
    I brought a can of V8 Energy drink.  It is a  healthy energy drink,  The usual ones are not healthy at all.  Should not be sold.  I never got tired at all.
    I also read several books on my Kindle app. on my iPad.  Fun.  Have to buy a couple more books that I found I really like.  I will share what they were. in the photo area.  Sure helped me kill time.
    I pack a few things to take with me to work there.   Right at closing time I had low blood sugar.  I ate one half a chocolate chunk cookie.
    Supper was at Jalisco's with JR.  I hardly heard from him today.  Guess he was busy.
    Was a good friend's birthday today.  And MM celebrated on of his friend's birthday.  Wish I could just ignore mine.  I only had anything close to a celebration when JS lived here.  Once he moved I am ignored except for the usual stuff on FaceBook.  And if it was not broadcast no one would care.
    It was really cloudy when I went to work.  Cool clouds that changed too much by the time I got my iPhone out.  No cattle or llamas before work but all were near my yard when I got home.  Took photos.
    After supper we stopped at the grocery store.  I am out of lunch meat.  JR must have needed things also.  I only got meat.
    Did my spanish lesson.  Not too frustrating.  I almost quit the other night.  And ATR has started saying to me after I get my food "Provecho".  And I knew exactly what he was saying to me -- "enjoy your meal".  He & MS & MA have made a big difference in my learning.  Not once did anyone ever try to help me with Swedish.  What a difference it makes.
    Photos a mix.  Not in any organised order.

Great & fun book about gnomes.  I found that gnomes actually has 2 meanings.  I never knew. 

Photo from another book.  Super fun to read.  Will order a couple of others.

Another book.  Swedish authour.

Very cute book about a Swedish tomten & Santa Claus, that are brothers.  A fun read.

Clouds at my farm.

Coco.

Larry.

Famous singer from Sweden & Europe.  She lived where my cousins live & we were in her museum when she came in.  So fun.  She hugged us both & had our photos taken.  I was honored.  Sad she has passed.


Friends.  Great memories.  Today it is "Coronado's birthday."  He made a perfect Coronado!!

Great grandson Sorion.  Sitting in a bar & not yet in school!!!  Where his Dad worked.

Me & Cinder


White's grocery store

    A rare henbit.  A weed that are always purple.  But one summer I had a couple of them byy my car port that were white.  I looked them up.  White is rare.  Has not happened again.




April in Lindsborg.  Cannot wait for the Jazz Walk!!  Awesome music!!!  And the weekend where chalk drawings appear all over town.  Great fun!!!

Work for me today

Old memories when I was actually happy.  Me with Mom & Dad.  I remember that dress.  Black & green.

Me as a baby.  Think that dress was blue.  Happy then too.  Wish it had lasted, but my grandma died & I had no one in my corner after that.

3/2026 - Söndag den 22:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Kennet,  Kent
Known both Kenneths & Kents.  Willie & I both had relatives named Kenneth

    Had an ok day.  Just tired.  I have started taking a med I order online.  I think it is working.  Usually pain free for most of day after I take it.  Yesterday I had no pain & my feet feel better.  I am hopeful.
    I was cold last night so I had the heat on a little.  The AC made me too cold.  This afternoon I was freezing in the living room. It was 65 outside but I was freezing inside.  Turned the heat on a little.  Felt better.  We had 40mph winds hitting the south side of my house.  Felt like the windows were open!  None of my windows will actually open.  Too old.
    I had a nice, cozy nap after lunch.  Then to get ready to eat out.  I only put on clothes.  No make up.  Did not care today.  We ate in the car.
    JR & I went to the Barnyard Creamery.  They now have french fries with their burgers.  That is what we each had to eat.  I had soft serve ice cream for dessert.  I really missed it.  Perfect.
    Then we bought some groceries.  I was out of stuff.  I will be ok now.
    While sitting in my car at the grocery store a man walked up to my car door.  He asked if I was Julie.  I said I was.  He introduced himself.  He is on Lindsborg Now.  He & I talk every day.  And have for a long time but we have never met.  I had no idea what he looked like. But he knew me.  I was thrilled to meet him!!!  I had planned to tell him if he is ever near the Old Mill to stop in.  He plays in a musical group at the Mill at various times.  I would love to be able to be there to listen to them.  What an honor to meet him!!!  Made my day!!!
    Then it was home.  And waiting for me at my mail box was Coco & Larry.  I got some nice photos.  Fun to be close to them.  Cows were no where near me.  They had been earlier.
Larry & Coco.  Love the white face.
    KN fixed my trash bins.  Carry some trash out tomorrow.  Less wind.  I am drowning in trash!!
    I emailed with JL.  MM sent lots of photos.  CF sent some photos.  One was pretty good.
Chris & Princess
    Photos are a mix.
