6/2026 - Thursday the 4th - MY JOURNEY

 






Today's Name Day:  Solbritt , Solveig


    Today was not good.  I was very sick overnight & awake many hours.  Almost needed to go to the ER.  I cancelled today.  Disappointed.  Had nice plans.  Not this week.
    Weather has been ok,  Maybe a bit cooler.  Light rain on occasion.  Not enough to get excited about.  Western Kansas had places with up to 5" or so.  They really needed it.  They have missed out on lots of rain.  We are not quite that bad here.
    On the news it is official the rains were too late for our wheat.  But will help fall crops.  I hope.  Local weatherman did say something great.  He says he sees no super hot weather on the way here.  I sure hope he is correct!!!  Short time hope.
    Found some new cat food.  Daisy liked it.  I am sure Cinder & Kisse would turn their noses up.  Soo picky.  Even the foods they like they are picky about.  Don't know what do to.  I try new things in case they will like it.  Daisy is set for life!!!  She eats anything!!
    Everyone is quiet today,  Just a short email from JL.  Sometimes I feel people are not wanting to be my friend.  Had one new friend I was so sure we would be friends.  Never saw him again.  We have mutual friends, just not with me.  I cry thinking about it.  Had one fun afternoon.  Scared of losing 2 recent new friends.  Makes me sad.  Feel like I just cannot win.  Definitely something wrong with me.
    I did hear from an old friend from Guatemala.  Great artist.  Spent lots of time with him when he was in this country.  But he has turned political & is busy at his home but the other night he wrote to me.  Great to hear from him.  Nice.  Glad we are still friends.
    MM is away for a famiy wedding.  Looks like he is having fun.  I am a bit jealous.  I rarely to never have those kind of days.  Ignored by family & friends.
    Back at the gallery tomorrow.  New show.  Anxious to see.  I know what it is.  But not seen anything about it.
    I hate the tv.  Awful.  Have a special video on the DishTV does.  I am fighting tears.  Just need noise.  Cinder was on me. Will call her back when I am done blogging.
    Photos are a mix..  Nothing special.  Trying to not share so many.  People maybe don't care.







Lucky photo!! Timed it just right.  Distant relative.





Really miss being part of harvest.  Want to take photos but hate to bother anyone.



Estes Park.  Love the hotel.

Photos I took in Marstrand Sweden




New photos I found in town,  Made a collage with them.








Willie when he trucked for Gerald's Trucking.  Hauledl cattle & grain.  I miss those days.  What fun.  Wish I could have lived in his semi.

Graduation photo when I graduated from nursing school,  I rarely talk about being a nurse,  Too many coworkers hated me,  And they worked hard at being cruel to me & other LPNs.  Some painful memories.

5/2026 - Thursday the 21th - MY JOURNEY

 





Retired on the same day as Colbert, but a different year.

Today's Name Day:  Konstantin , Conny




    Today was a great day.  Slept good with my kids nearby & Daisy waiting for breakfast.  And a cuddle.
    I had an appointment to get my oil changed in my car in Assaria KS.  When I got inside a gentleman invited me to sit with him.  He is my mechanic's father.  What a cool guy!!  We had a great conversation about a variety of things.  And I now have a new requirement for my car getting worked on ---- his father must be part of the job!!!  He made my day.  MM lived in Assaria as a kid.  They remember each other.
    We had rain overnight.  And very cool temps.  Loved it.  Maybe rain the next 2 days & rain now added to saturday.  May be too wet to decorate graves on sunday.  Wait until next week.
    Came home for a short nap.  When I woke up Cinder came to lay on me while I am trying to blog.  And rubbing noses.
    Big mix of photos today.
    Sad sad day today.  Colbert ends his show.  What, oh what, will I do without him?  CBS is an idiot & ruled by outside idiots.  I rarely watch any network shows.  I watch 2 week night shows & 2 soaps.  Unfortunately they all are on CBS.  I will never praise them again.
    I totally screwed up my blog yesterday.  Took me forever to figure out how to fix it.  So frustrating.
    Communication is extra quiet today.  I miss family & friends.  And it hurts to be ignored.  Got an email from JL & she may quit being online.  It is ok.  I am used to losing people I enjoy.

Last night they asked Stephen Colbert the questions of his questionaire.  A different star asked eached question.  This is a photo of them all.

Love this.  True!!

Restaurant in Assaria where my friend AA works.  Ready to eat there after the holiday.
