Today's Name Day:  Alfons, Inez

Known several ladies named Inez

    Had a good day.  Part of it was the best ever!!

    My oldest 2 great grandsons came home last night.  MM can't quit hugging them.  And all 3 are smiling.

    I stopped at MM's this noon.  They all came to greet me.  And inside Gracie my grandpuppy came running also.  I sure needed to see them all.  Lots of hugs.  Here is Junior, Atlas, & Grandma.

    After my visit it was work at the Old Mill.  But it was a lonely day.  Lots of visitors so AP was upstairs most of the time.  We are 2 short in our staff.  I am no help at all. I only do my photos & nothing else.  But I did turn on some political programs & listen without bothering anyone.  I even did some exercises.  I was hoping that AP did not return to his desk to see my arms flailing about & think I was having a seizure!!!  💃

    I started a new batch of photos..  Several folders all hooked to each other.  I am doing each one separately with unique names.  Most photos are borderline boring.

    Supper was Mexican.  They were not too busy.  I had flautas.  Very good.  Dessert was the Barnyard Creamery.  I got a small soft serve with caramel sauce.  Perfect.

    I had changed what purse I used but lordy it was far too heavy.  Probably since it was leather.  Came home & changed to a lighter purse.  Feels much better.

    My one purse that is burlap is laying on my sofa.  Kisse has commandered it as her new nest.  Plus it is next to me.

    Photos are a mix.

Very old photo of Old Main & an old car on the Bethany College campus.  Plus all the trees that used to be on the campus.

Today's Name Day:  (no name today)

    Had a good day today.  Slept good with little pain.  Started the day after lunch with getting my oil changed in my car.  Did not take long.  The guy who does it for me is super nice.  Nice to see him.

    Where I got my oil changed is in Assaria.  They have 2 booths to sit in.  The other booth had two men & one young boy.  They were all friendly & talkative.  When I am a similar  situation in town here, no one says hello or talks.  I am always ignored.  I know no one in Assaria.  But those I am around are always friendly.  Amazing.  Rarely in my hometown.

    I tried to take a short nap but just rested.  Then I needed to get to the bank & the gas station.  It started pouring down very hard.  Then I drove out of it.  Then soon it poured down again.  Finally I was out of it.  I was scared I would be standing out in the rain.  But I was all dry.  Had business before supper.

    For all the time we have had rain, we only got 0.53".  How sad.  Other places get inches.  Not here.

    Supper was Mexican.  MM came to eat with us.  Before he arrived ZR from the Stuga came in so we had a nice visit.  Good to see MM.  Today he is doing ok.  I am lucky to feel loved today.  Hugs from M & Z.  Nice.  They & CW always make my day.

    Home to blog.  And do my spanish lesson.  Catch up on my soap operas.

    Photos are a mix.

  

Always!!!!

Rain for a couple of days.  I got 0.88".  Nice.

Today's Name Day:  Jeanette, Yvonne
 I have a good friend Jeanette, an aunt Jeanette, knew a Yvonne & another one who went by Vonnie.

    Today was a great day.  Did not sleep well, but survived.  Less pain which is good.

    I had lunch with 3 friends at the Öl Stuga.  I was the first one there.  MM was cooking.  ZR was the waiter.  He asked what I wanted to drink.  I told him a coke & if a bit of rum happened to be added to it I would like it.  Nice to have a rum & coke for lunch.  No one even questioned why I had a glass glass instead of a paper glass.  I am entitled to a nice cocktail when I want to enjoy one.

    The one friend's husband has a printer that can print plastic things.  Today we each got a little lizard like thing.  So cute!!  Here is mine.  He is really tiny!!

    After visiting I drove home for a nice nap.  I needed one.  At the end of my nap I had long phone call with KN.  I still own a bit of pasture that had a pond on it.  The pond has gone dry so KN  wants to drill a water well.  I offered to pay but he said he would take it out of my pasture rent payment.

    When I got home after lunch there was a large group of cattle close to my driveway.  The llamas were with them.  When they spotted my car, their heads jerked erect, & they ran to see me!!  How cool.  One was close enough to the fence his head was almost was in my car.  Very cool.  They get sheared on  sunday so they will look different.  Nice that. they know my car!  And me!!

    Supper was with JR & MM at Jalisco's.  MM had just got done working & the kids are in Wichita.  Then he went home to cuddle with Gracie, my grandpuppy.  She had been alone all day.

    JR & I had snowcones for dessert.  Too good for words.  I hate not to give the business to Jalisco's but I am sorry!  MA knows.

    My back started hurting during supper.  Still hurts.  I tried some pain killing cream but not much help.

    Photos are some flowers & some that I have edited.  New app.  I had an app that did the same but it quit working.  This one is made by the same people but works.
