03/2026 - Fredag den 6:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Perfect photo of Nico & Cinder.  Probably looks better in color.  I should have it framed.  Nice memory.

Today's Name Day:  Ebba,  Ebbe

I have known a couple of Ebbas locally.

    Had a great day!!  First day out of the house in 7 days.  Freedom!!!  All photos today are taken in B&W.  Just my mood.  May do it again!!

    Slept ok with the help of medication.  Nice.

    Lunch was with LL at the White Peacock.  I had biscuits & gravy with a DC --- Diet Coke.  Good food & good conversation.  Also saw MH & had a nice visit.

    Work was a total mess.  If I had possession of a shot gun, my scanner would be dead out in a field somewhere.  That dang thing.  It never worked good for a moment today.  I could maybe scan a couple of photos then it would scan a black or blue image.  I would reboot & start again.  I was not relaxed.  Worked with gritted teeth!!  But we did manage to have some laughs.  Good.

    Then JR & I went for supper & Jalisco's.  AJTR had my booth saved for some people can just show caring easier. Make me feel good. And even shook my hand in welcome.  I ordered carnitas that were so good but my stomach acted up.  I gave up.  Had ice cream for dessert.  It was soothing.

    We were in a tornado watch that ended up as nothing.  When I went home the clouds sort of gathered together & there was lightning.  All in Lindsborg.  At home there was only strong winds.  Winds blew all day.  Ruined my hair!!!

    I was really tired when I got home.  Laid down for a short nap.  Then I tackled my Spanish lesson.  Sort of easy today.

    Now blogging with Cinder trying to lay on me. Settling for laying next to me.

    All photos are local.  Will explain them all.  Had fun using my iPhone.  Downloaded a phone app I am liking.  Lots of options.

My bullls have gained quite a few calves in their pasture.  Nice to see.

Paper flowers on our table at the White Peacock.  I like them.

Inside main dining room.

Carving by Bruce Harding.  He is awesome.

MH's chairs & far window leading to the patio.

Small table.

This month's artist.  It is Noah Flores.  Great artist.  Plus he works for the city & our historical group.  Both his parents are artists.  I know his mom but not his dad.

Table & display of teas & coffees.

Me in front of Noah's art.

Paper flowers up close.

Biscuits & gravy

DC.  Good.

My work at the Mill for the day.  The tiniest of photos of school kids.  First one I saw today was of my daughter.  Must have been around first grade.  Old photos of when life was "normal" always hurt.  Nothing normal now.  Kids hate me since I was stupid & they counted on.  And refuse to let me have contact with son's 2 kids.

Jalisco's TV.  AJTR has baseball on it.  Not any US teams.  My least favorite sport.

Storm clouds facing east from Dollar General.

Cup for sale in the White Peacock.  I like it.

05/2025 Torsdag the 01st - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day: Valborg

Today is the King of Sweden's Birthday Celebration. Hurra, hurra, hurra, hurra!

    We had rain last evening & night.  Very great.  I drove home from Lindsborg in fairly heavy rain & huge drops.  And continued into the night.  Fun to see lightning & hear thunder.  I got like 0.59".  Lindsborg got much less.  I was lucky.

    Had a lunch date but cancelleld as I did not sleep well.  No working today.  JR & I had supper at Jalisco's.  Good burrito & dessert was ice cream.  I needed to make a phone call so we did not sit to chat for long.  They were very busy tonight.  Muy ocupado!

    The radar & sky looked like rain here but nothing.

    Had photos from MM with a couple of his kids.  When I got home I saw KN coming out of my drive.  He was checking fences so the bulls do not get out.  Keeping them out of my yard is a good idea!!  We had a nice visit.  Good to see him!

    TV just said maybe a chance of rain overnight.  And next week we have a chance for soaking rain.  I hope.

    Hope rain stays out of Lindsborg.  The Old Mill expects 500 kids coming tomorrow to tour our entire park.  Many people in showing their crafts, animals, singing, dancing, etc.  All from different schools or home schooled.  I hope it all goes well for them.  ¡Buena suerte!

    All the photos today are from the White Peacock from a few years ago.  One of my favorite places to be, to eat, to drink.

The patio.  In good weather it is great to sit out there.

My favorite muffin.  Has lemon pudding in it.

Outside & the front doors.

   

Wandering Through Life, 1 September 2021

    My day did not start so good.  Even after taking a pill for sleep I never got any sleep until 10am.  I called in absent for work.  I managed a couple hours after lunch.  Why?  Drives me crazy.

    Another fairly warm day.  Around 90F but did not feel too bad.  And a nice breeze.  Rain?  Probably not.  Maybe in a couple of days.  But hopefully cooler days are ahead.  Glad summer is leaving.  It is the worst for me.  But the heat lovers do not care.  They make sure I know it.

    I ate with my brother and friend PM.  Good conversation.  PM knows so much about the history of the college.  Interesting.  My friend NM was resting in my booth. I threatened to sit on him!!  He moved quickly at the thought!  He is fun.  I had not seen the one cook for a while so I said hello to him.  And JS was as ornery as usual.  He is always good to me.  And makes me laugh.

    Asked JS if he knew how to fix cactus —- nopales I think is the Spanish word.  He loves it.  I might try it.  Might.  He said if you chop up the nopales and fry it and then mix it in frijoles and serve it to a Mexican man, he is yours forever.  Ok.  Should I try??

    Photos are all taken today.  I am thrilled to finally have flowers here at home.  Slow coming.  Gorgeous!  And a super sunset.  The sky was quite hazy.
