I love this photo.  Just posted it for me.

Today's Name Day:  Susanna

Not sure I know any Susannas, but several years ago JR & I were eating in Wichita.  Next to us was a table of several older women, totally enjoying their food & each other.  The one lady had a basket of stuffed animals the others were selecting ones they wanted.  I watched with interest.  There was one large bunny no one chose.  The lady who owned it gave it to me.  ME!!!  I was so surprised.  Her name was Susanna so I named my bunny Susanna.  It sits near my bed.  Very special bunny & memory. 💓

    I had an ok day.  I waited for RG to call to eat out but he must be busy.  I called him but no call back.  No problem.  See him another day.

    Over the weekend on friday & saturday someone tried to get into my one bank.  The bank locked my account & told me to call on monday.  I did that this morning but they wanted me to come in.  They checked the emails they sent & all was well.  They unlocked my account & gave me a new sign on name.  Then they gave me a password of numbers.  I signed on & changed my password right away.  All is well.  Then on to another bank where I was overdrawn.  Trying to support two other families takes it toll.  Now fixed.  For now.

    Next I fueled my car.  Price was pretty cheap.  Nice.  I thought of getting a salad for supper but saved my money.  Have food at home.  No fun.  At least I am cautious.

    Had rain overnight. I got an impressive 0.49".  Everyone else got much more.  As always.  Lindsborg got more.  Marquette got lots more.  I ignore the weather on the news.  Now hot & humid is returning.  No more rain.

    I thought of stopping in somewhere in town to say hello but just too tired.  Came home to nap.

    Had one email.  Nice one.  And a good morning text.  MM ignored me until I wrote him.  Still in pain.  Me too.

    TV is better tonight.  New episodes of Mysteries of the Unknown. I have seen a couple of them but some are new.  Better than reruns.  Rachel Maddow is on tonight live.  Will watch it at 9pm.

    My RA & Sjogrens are bad.  My skin is so dry it just flakes off.  Lotion does no good.  And it hurts to itch.

    Photos are a mix with some nice flowers from a reel I saw.  Plus autumn & winter photos.

I miss him more than words can say,  We would do fun things together.  He always made me feel special.

Today's Name Day:  Eivor, Majvor

    Not the best of days.  No sleep.  Feel like I am either coming down with  a cold or just allergies.  Woke up from my nap & felt worse. Cancelled the day. Typical day for me.  And not one cat slept with me.  Very odd.  Something I said???

    Got too warm again.  Almost 90F.  Around supper a small line of rain was here with thunder  & light rain. All gone now.  Storms are in the south.

    Watching the Tony Awards.  Hostess starred in Wicked.  Love that movie!!  And her.  I have no chance of ever seeing a Broadway play.  But I am enjoying the music, the costumes, the stars.  And they dress 100% better than the Oscars.  No need to dress in an all see through dress.  Get tired of seeing  private. body parts. Have some good taste & look awesome.  Right now a song from the show about Bobby Darin.  Sounds just like him.

    Outside once checking on mail.  Nothing.

    Had my usual email from a good friend & did hear from MM.  He looks better.  Pretty much ignored by everyone else.  I hate to bother others who have family, hobbies, activities, etc.  Just mind my own business.

    After I wrote to CF he did answer.  So busy with his other family.  I have felt for the last couple of years I really do not matter.  Especially when he came to town & never made an effort to see me even for a second.  That hurt more than I can say.  Never got an apology.

    Photos are mostly flowers.

Took this one.

In my memories.  I do not remember it.  Love it.

Sweden's National Day.  It used to be sort of ignored but that has changed.  I am glad.  Be fun to be there.

Today's Name Day:  Gösta, Gustav

    Today was a good day.  I skipped my Swedish Friendship Group.  Did not want to push myself.

    Lunch was with LL at the White Peacock.  It was too busy.  Could not get the table we wanted.  There was a computer sitting on it, coffee cup, etc.  No person.  No idea where he was but not in the coffee shop.  Much later he slowly walked in the front door.  HUH???  If you are leaving the business take your stuff so there is room for other people to sit.  How rude.  I would never just leave a laptop sitting alone in public.  We are a truly rude people in this country.

    Then this afternoon some twit made a comment about the Peacock how disappointed she is that they are participating in some Pride events,  She was promptly banned from our group & her comment deleted,  Guess she is not smart enough to realise how many Pride folks are or still are in the military.  Good to be rid of her.  I have started deleted any comment that is rude,  Grow up & be an adult,

    I have had many gay, etc. friends & Hispanic friends.  Not one of them have hurt me or been rude,  White people and/or family have hurt me repeatedly.  I prefer to be in mixed company.

    I walked in for lunch with ZR from the Stuga.  Then SB head of the newspaper came in.  We had a nice visit.  I try to always tell him when I like what he writes & to let him know if who or what he writes about is connected to me.  Plus a nice visit with MH.  That is the best.

    While we ate, I got 1/4" of rain at home.  What a shock!!!  Every drop helps.

    Then work at the Old Mill.,  I zoomed through photos today.  Had LL look at photos to check on names.  She & AP were gone for a long time in the afternoon.  A grandson of the original owner stopped in.  How cool!   They were on their way to Colorado.  His granddaughter is with him.  She is an artist. When they come back they will have a painting of the Mill for us.  Awesome.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  A friend was in there so we had a long visit.  The new kitchen worker even waved at  me.  We have never been introduced so that is nice.  He and the lady who helps be a waiter & busses tables are married with 3 kids.  Nice family.

    Took time to buy some groceries but passed on ice cream.  Now home & blogging.

    Got a text from my PA in Hutchinson asking how I am doing.  That made my day.  Nice to know someone cares enough to ask.  Will write her a note this weekend

    Special day in Sweden so I am posting some Swedish photos.  Info about today by the first photo,  Also photos from the White Peacock today.  Love that place.

    Changed the days from Swedish to Spanish.  Will help me.  I am struggling with my lessons.  Painful.

Me today 

Muffin for lunch with a vanilla latte.

Old shed on my farm.

Memories of Sweden.  Will try to name a few.  Lake, flowers on Marstrand, boat near Göteborg & I think the fish church on the shore, Swedish flowers, castle near where my family is from,  Stenegård, Marstrand, church, Turning Torso in Malmö, church in Karlshamn I think, a couple from a famous book ---- he is looking forward, she is looking back to home.  Sweet Memories.  My great grandmother is from Karlshamn.

Today's Name Day:  Bo

    Another cancelled day.  But finally my blood sugars are more normal.  Finally.  Plan to work tomorrow.  Will eat out at lunch for sure.  Supper maybe not.  See how I feel.  Time to take care of me as much as I can.  No one else has time or will take the time.  I know that MM is always there for me.

    Weather was ok.  Partly cloudy with a high of 75.  Heavy rains forecast for southern Kansas where there is still lots of flooding.  While we sit here with hardly any rain & in drought conditions.  Salina is 2-3 inches below normal.  Rest of the state are above normal.  Awful for us.  Right now there is a tornado in NW Kansas.  And huge hail,

    Did not get much sleep last night.  No clue why not.  Slept this morning.  After lunch I shampooed my hair.  The water never bothered my glucose sensor.  Love the the extra tape over it.  I feel more secure.  Had some new shampoo & conditioner.  Smells good & hair feels nice.

    Only a photo from CF.  Nothing more.  MM texted.  He is feeling better.  I am relieved.  Texted with LL about work.  Be great to be back.

    I need to drive to my mailbox.  Probably not much in it.

    Photos are mostly flowers.

This was in my yard a few summers ago.  We are rarely wet enough for muchrooms anywhere.

Soon.  Wheat is turning.
