Global Pay It Forward Day

People around the world are encouraged to engage in a small acts of kindness. It’s a day to respond to someone’s kindness toward you by being kind to someone else.


Today's Name Day: Ture, Tyra


    Nice peaceful day with no strong winds.  I am so tired of wind.  There are no words to describe how I feel.  I slept pretty good.  Cinder was in & out.  Kisse actually curled up in bed with me for a while.

    Managed time for a nice nap.  I need to take trash out but will get help with that tomorrow.  Too sore to do it alone.

    Planning to call my chiropractor tomorrow to start treatment.  I can barely walk.

    JR & I had supper at the Happy Swede.  They had two of my faves as specials tonite.  Either a hot beef sandwich or Swedish meatballs.  Went with the meat balls.  Very good.

    I had time to drive to a friend's house.  In his back yard by the alley he has poppies blooming.  I missed them last year but they are looking great today.  Right next to them is a large rose bush.  Pretty yellow roses!!

    Good news today.  My sick friend is back home.  I am relieved.  He did not write much.  I am sure he is exhausted.

    Calm weather for tomorrow but then on tuesday through thursday severe weather again.  Tons of photos on the weather tonight of bad things in Kansas & Nebraska & Oklahoma.  Scary.

    Photos tonight are flowers that I took this afternoon.

Thinking of Sweden - Köttbullar

Swedish Meatballs, mashed potatoes, & lingonberries


Today's Name Day: Amalia, Amelie


    Great day.  Had lunch plans but they have been moved to another day.  So I got a long nap.  Already dressed & had my makeup on.  Worked good.

    Supper was at the Happy Swede with JR.  They posted a photo of what was their special for the day.  Swedish meatballs with mashed potatos & lingonberries.  Köttbullar.  I told them what they fixed was as good as I had in Sweden.  A guy I am friends with came in to eat & I told him how good they were.  After he ate his comment to me was "Yust like being in the old country!"  Mine to him was "Ya sure, ya betcha!"  The best I have had in the US other than at an IKEA.  There is another place in town that fixes them too.  They are sort of OK but not quite true Swedish.  I told Happy Swede that everytime they serve them I will be there.  And they are like being in Sweden.  Might be as close to Sweden I ever get again.  My heart is always in Sweden.  Always.

    JR & I sat to chat for a long time.  We discussed movies & music.  Old movies & 60s music.  I am out of donuts so he ran in to get me another package of them.  Mmmmmm.

    Stayed pretty cool last night & cooler tonight.  Good for sleeping,  Cinder eventually came to sleep with me.  And she was in for my nap also..

    Photos tonight are from the Happy Swede.  Many little nooks & crannies with neat stuff to shoot.  I missed one but will get it next time.

                                


My plate as I started to eat.  Must always have lingon on the meat balls whether in Sweden or here





Wall mural painted on. Cool.





Some of my ancestors are from Värmland in Sweden.
