01/2026 - Torsdag the 15th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Laura, Lorentz
I know several Lauras just here in town.  Or know of them.  Must be a common name.

    Had a nice day.  Slept good. Then went to Lindsborg KS to await friends for lunch at the Blacksmith Coffee Shop.  It was a real blacksmith shop from years ago.  I had not been here in several years.  I worried about where to sit but there is tons of seats!  And they have a great menu!!  I had a chicken paremesan quiche.  Excellent.  I will be back often!!
    We had a nice visit.  Good to see my friends.  Always needed.
    Weather is on now.  High winds tomorrow & cold.  The highs on saturday is only in the 20s.  And continued winds.  Brrr.  These cold fronts continue to play havoc with joints.
    I had a nice nap after I  got home.  Cinder was there off & on.  Kisse stayed close.
    I found an early photo of Cinder & was surprised how small she looked.  She is healthier now.  And eats good.
    I actually had a text or two from MM. But I had to text him first.  I might actually see him after work on saturday.  See how the day goes.  Hope I stay warm at work.  Will dress in layers.
    I got tired of my large purse & went back to a smaller one.  Hope that works.  Easier to use.  Time will tell.
    Mailman put a huge box on my porch making it difficult for me to get to my door.  Had KN come move it today.  I hurt too much to try.  I know what is in it ----- kitty litter.  I will need it in a few days but hopefully then I feel some better & can carry it in the house.
    Soon supper time.  No clue what to eat.  Need something new.
    Spanish lessons are a bit easier.  Won't last.  Never does.  But nice when it is a bit easier.
    Watching the stupid national news.  I should not watch.  Makes me sick.  We are hurting the entire world.
    Photos are a mix.

01/2026 - Måndag the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 




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.
