08/2025 - Lunes the 25th - JOURNEY

 

Good friend already wished me Happy Halloween so I think this photo is ok.  One of my faves.

Today's Name Day:  Louise, Lovisa

I have known one Louise.  Couple of years older than me & sort of a neighbour.  I see her once in a while & friends with family of hers.

    A better day, sort of, today.  RA & depression have ruled my life for a few days.  Sorry I could not be here.

    Our weather is beyond wonderful!!  Our low was 60F.  High hit 70F before supper tonight.  Heaven.  At last!!

    I have done nothing but sleep for 2 days.  Hard to stay awake.  Odd.  Maybe fighting getting sick.  I was exposed to someone with a cold.

    I am sure the weather is nice outside but I really did not care.  I had mail to sort outside & carry in. Some heavy things.  I do not feel better.  Just more pain.

    I am glad that MM got a weekend away with a friend.  Fun to see him looking happy & enjoying life.  I am glad for him.  Starting work this weekend.  The huge boot he is wearing on his broken ankle but had has permission to wear a smaller brace.  Got to feel better.

    Had rain last night.  Got 0.33".  Nice.  More on the way on Wednesday.  No lightning or thunder or wind.

    My spanish got a bit easier.  Nice but that won't last.  Never does.

    Saw someone riding a small vehicle in my pasture.  They never saw me.  And there are no cattle in the pasture so who knows what was going on..

    Photos are a mix.  Too tired to sort them tonight.

This is a princess tårta cake. A traditional birthday cake in Sweden.

My babies --- Kisse & Nico.

Love being there, love the statue & park, love the song.

Today's Name Day:  Peter, Petra

Went to school with a Peter.  He has not returned since graduation.  My best friend was Peter.  We met at the hospital.  He lived in England & California.  Died way too young.  Cannot talk about him.  Miss him & his dogs daily.  I got to be really close to his mom also.

    Today was a day of nothing.  Yesterday was  good day but I ended up in a really sad, scared, & hurt by life mood.  Living alone with no one I can count one for anything.  And I get more scared the older I get.  Some relatives are busy, one is too sick to help,  one moved far away,  others never ever offer anything.  I am on my own.  Life is sometimes difficult.   So today I am keeping to myself.  No one needs to be around my mood.  Tomorrow may be more of the same.  Guess I need some withdrawl time.

    Weather was hot as usual.  Over 90F.  No rain yet.  Tonight.  No wind to speak of.  No communication with anyone.  Alone & forgotten.

    Photos are all flowers.  I took some of the photos.  I created all the collages.

These used to grow in my driveway.  Think they got sprayed & disappeared.  Very sad.

Sweater weather is always better.......

 Hot Enough For Ya Day

    No sleep again last night.  Mostly Nico's fault.  And me feeling sad.  Glad this weekend is almost over.  Wish it was next weekend after our 4 days in a row of over 100F each day.

    I did finally hear from my grandson & he made to his destination last night.  Today he flew far away.  Will I ever see him again?  Will I meet his girlfriend?  Not hopeful.

    JR & I ate in Salina.  I was not in a pizza mood.  Went to Braums.  Big error.  They were overwhelmed with customers.  We were just ready to leave when they took our order.  My hamburger was too well done.  But my french fries & malt were good.  Good to get out of there.  Took the back way home.  Found a lovely road to drive on.  Have to do that again.  Relaxing.

    There was a little dear in my yard.  Might have been others but only saw him.  I did not get up to open the door for a photo.  He would have ran away.

    Very hot today & felt humid.  Only getting worse.  Just glad I do not live in Arizona.  I feel so sorry for them.  Always over 110F & never lower than 90F.  And no change in sight.  One man was walking outside on the concrete & he suddenly tripped.  The sole of his shoe melted!  Canada would be good though!

    My other grandson has a big day tomorrow.  I hear from him pretty often.  I am so grateful.  All others were quiet towards me.

    Photos today are ones I have played with on my new fave app.  So nothing impressive.

 National Hammock Day

 

    Had a truly interesting night last night.  I had trouble sleeping.  As usual.  At 4am I got a surprise text from a friend.  We texted for 30 minutes or so.  Good visit.  I owed a couple of other friends a text so I chatted with my friend from Morocco.  Another good visit.  Then I texted a friend in Bangladesh.  He is a sweet young man who calls me Mom.  Good to touch base with him.  At 5am or later, I finally went to sleep.

    I was supposed to see my grandson who is moving today.  He sent a early text that I did not see.  If he had made a phone call I would have been able to see see him & help him..  He brought out all his stuff & left.  Never got to say goodbye.  I am sure he was excited to get on the road.  And I am just Grandma.

    We had a storm warning.  Looked scary here.  The sky turned black after some strong winds.  Then the wind quit & we had a small shower that I never saw or heard until I took Nico out.  Wet on the concrete.  Now is calm & cool.  But we are in a watch until 11pm.  Would love some rain.

    Nico pushed me too far tonight.  He is in the hallway until I am done with my blog & Spanish lesson.  He listens to what I say but does not stop & then starts again.  Too upset to deal with him.

    Photos are autumn ones from a couple of sites I like.

    What a struggle last night.  I got no sleep.  Ate lunch early so I could get a long nap.  That went only fair.  Nico kept hearing things outside.  No idea what.  My grandson was maybe bringing his truck & camper out here but it was not him.  Maybe noise at the factory at the neighbours. 

    I was worried about fixing my hair but it went just as I wanted.  Surprise!  Nice!

    JR & I went to eat at Jalisco's.  They were busy & lots of take out orders.  Fun to talk to & joke with LA.  She is adorable!  Next week I get to meet the boss's brother from Mexico.  Cool!  Seen a photo so far.  Grandson thought he might meet us there to say goodbye but he must have been busy.  He never showed.

    After supper it was snow cone time.  Too good for words.  Nice routine after it was closed for 3 years.

    Cinder was outside all last night.  No snuggles for me.  But she has been inside all day napping in the living room.  Lazy.  Just went out.

    Cooler today.  Very nice.  Next week is hot & dry.  Several days over 100.  Icky.

    Photos today are from the yard of one of our vacation rental homes in town.  It is always gorgeous!!
