Today's Name Day:  Frideborg, Fridolf

There was a local man here named Fridolf.  Probably the only person with that name I have known.  Still know his son.

    Had an ok day.  Very quiet.  Trouble getting to sleep last night but when I did it was ok.  Short nap today.

    MM shared photos on SnapChat but not to me only.  Nice email from JL.  That was about it.

    It is a miracle.  My iPhone is now working like it used to.  I load all the fotos I want & no message sayng I am out of memory.  Odd.  I can see the fotos I want to use.  Before that was not possible.  I wonder if the guy who helped me got curious as to why my phone would not work.  Found the problem & fixed it.  I have turned my phone off many times with no change.  I checked the settings on my iCloud.  Just weird.  Nice though..

    I had left some groceries in the car overnight.  Too tired to carry it all in.  And some mail in the trunk.  It is all in the house now.  Plus a few pieces of new mail on my porch.  Good to have Coke to drink again.

    Sick to death of national news.  Very depressing.

    I had hoped to have JR to help me with my car tomorrow & had to cancel.  Totally forgot I have my historical group board meeting, celebrating a board member's 25 years on the board, & a program.

    I was asked to work at the SVAFC this coming saturday.  Now today I got a request to work an entire weekend there in 2 weeks.  Have MH notified I need him to unlock for those days.  I will be glad to see him & the gallery.  Sure missed being there.

    Just outside.  Still warm. Around 52 after highs in the 60s.  Same for tomorrow then cold with high winds.  Few birds, no bulls or deer were seen anywhere.  No traffic.  We usually have lots of cars driving by all day long.  Usually people who live nearby.

    Photos are a mix.  Including one very touching memory.

Love this one!

What a great moment. Willie had just died & we had a heavy snow. My neighbours came to clean up my driveway & yard. So surprised. I never expected them to do it again. And they did not. That was they way it should be. Willie would have been pleased & thankful. They are truly good people.

Winter AI me..  I keep hoping for Winter while our weathermen are giddy over warm temps.  Sucks.

                                      

            

10/2025 - Jueves the 23rd - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Severin, Sören

    I have had a better day.  Slept ok overnight.  Worried about MM flying today.  Flight was delayed but now on his way.  Still worrying.  Texts me often with lots of photos.  Helps my nerves!!  He is a big Packer fan & his pilot on this flight is also.  Cool.

    I ordered a new cane that is supposed to be steadier.  Seems how it works tomorrow.  It has a light on it but I am clueless how to put batteries in it.  Doubt I need it.  Maybe MM can help next week.  And it has a fold down handle to help getting up if needed.  That I will use.

    I feel better today.  Lunch did not upset my stomache so hoping work tomorrow will be good.  And eating out first.

    I sat outside for a while.  The air has a cool nip in it.  There is rain on the radar in Oklahoma.  Coming our way.  Starts around midnight.  Stayed cool today.  No AC needed.

    Cats seem to have a bigger appetites now.  In their winter mode?  Interesting.  Been a miserable summer & they did not care to eat much.  Me either.

    Photos today are a mix of some memories, some I just like.

  

Willie feeding cattle during a winter snow.  I am sure there is a dog in the truck with him.

Willie with our dog Kajsa Jo.  She was special.

My Nico.  From the time he was born he could wrinkle his forehead.  Loved it!

                                                               

05/2025 Lördag the 31st - JOURNEY

  

Today's Name Day:  Pernilla, Petronella

Love the name Pernilla & I like to say it.  Have a cousin in Småland Sverige with that name.  Her husband taught me how he pronounces Sjõgren.  Love my Swedish family!

    You might notice I have changed the name of my blog.  Change is good.

    Far too hot today.  I saw 87F.  This late afternoon there was a nice breeze.  We had a small chance for rain.  Never happened.  Tuesday is our next chance for rain.

    Worked at the Old Mill today.  Quiet afternoon.  LL was on a Zoom call.  After that there was a high school girl in who volunteers.  But when she went home when talked a bit.  Shared gossip!!!  😁

    I had several photos with people & no names.  I posted them on our nostalgia site.  All names are now known.  There was one man I knew but my mind failed me to remember his first name.  Texted a friend I thought might know it.  He did!!  A successful day!!

    Supper was Mexican.  MA had to run to Salina & our newer help is now a waiter & in charge too.  Her middle son worked today also.  He is nice.  Her husband even talked to me.  She did really good!!! 

    One of the cooks came out to see me.  I have known him forever.  Many years.   I have a huge soft spot in my heart for him.  Years ago he would call me from Mexico to talk.

    Dessert were snow cones.  I managed to spill ice on my top.  Luckily there are no stains.  Whew!!  It is a new top.

    I got a bit teary on the way home.  Had some memories in my mind.  Ok now.  No work tomorrow!

    I saw there are covers for my glucose sensor.  Makes them extra secure, especially when I shower.  They came today.  So before work I am parked by my mailbox with my slacks pulled down to my hips trying to apply my fave one.  Glad I live in the country!!!!  I managed to get it on good.  The other ones I ordered have no opening for my sensor.  Try them next time.  If it was on my arm people could see how pretty they are.  But my doc said I could put it on my stomach.  I like it there.  Won't catch on anything.

    Photos today are a mix of things.

Me too.

My church in Sweden.  Rock church.

Just bought this on eBay.  I had not seen this one before.  If the Old Mill does not have it I will donate it to them.
