8/2026 - Monday the 3rd - MY JOURNEY

 

Awesome old old photo of an old car & Old Main.

Today's Name Day:  Tage

    Today was an ok day.  Slept good last night.  A cool night.  Maybe rain around tonight & Wednesday,  Cooler tomorrow.  We also have smoke coming from western US,

    I tried to nap today but about 20 minutes later Dr. Baxa called.  Had a good visit.  Said my bones in the earlier xrays showed lots of bone damage.  But no swelling of joints.  Yet.  He is sure I have times when I am in lots of pain but not all the time.  He is ordering 2 new meds for me to pickup.  Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.  I really like him.  Nice personality & thorough.

    This week is super busy.  Tuesday we vote here in Kansas.  Scary.  No maga for governor please!!!! And I have my last xray.  Bone density?  Work at the Old Mill on Wednesday.  The Mill board wants the historical board to join them in their meeting,  Totally screws my day up.  I cannot go all afternoon & part of the evening with no food.  My diabetes won't allow that.  Have to plan on bringing some kind of food to eat around 5pm.  Thursday I eat out with my thursday group.  Friday I am working for MH.  I have ignored him too much.  He has a show at SVAFC in september.  I Want to give him extra time to paint.  But I am not working on saturday.  I need a break.  Time to take care of me.  Then on monday I go to Hutch for a doctor's appointment.  Sheesh. Then a normal week.,

    Today is MM's oldest son's birthday.  He will be a second grader.  No news on his party.  Hope I am included.

Recent photo of Atlas, Sorion, & Mikael Jr.  Jr is the birthday guy!

 I gave up on a nap.  I had some large bags of trash that I needed to get rid of.  Bet I found 10 bags of trash and more,  Hard to carry them all out.  Daisy just had to be in the way!!!  But I gave her treats for helping me.  I did sit outside for a short time so we could cuddle. I threw away some boxes from outside.  I am done.  I know that my blood sugar got low.  Need supper now.

    saw I got more mail outside.  Get it later.  Too tired now.

    Around noon a "son" from Bangladesh texted me.  We have trouble texting.  Our times a so far apart.  But nice visit.  And photos. Known him for several years.  He always calls me Mom.  And he wants to own a farm like I do.  Need to send him some photos of our cattle and our llamas.  All are gone for the summer.

My ancestors.  First guy is Knute Train.  Third guy is a Train also.

My Swedish memories. First heart is eating crayfish.  Second photo is me & a statue called a snaphans.  Maybe.  Third photo is me in someone's field & with a rune stone. Last photo is me with one foot in Norway & the other in Sweden.

Best cake ever.  Normal birthday cake in Sweden.  But can we get on in LBK???  No.

What I would not give for a real Swedish breakfast.

I am tired!!!

                                                                  

                                                           

                

13 june, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Today was a much better day.  I am relieved.  Took my anxiety pill when I went to bed.  Slept pretty good.  After working hard yesterday, I was tired today & took it easy.  Not as hot today but the heat is coming.  Need a few days of hot & windy days to get the wheat ready to cut!!

    We have Canadian smoke to arrive here wednesday evening.  They say not as bad as NYC, but it will bother me I am sure.  Great.

    I was lazy & had 2 huge piles of boxes I never flattened.  I was lazy.  I set them by the trash bins & they trashed them.  Good to know!!  Will try not to do it too often. 

    I heard a woodpecker this morning.  Can see one sometimes but not often.  I almost always see an oriole every afternoon.  So pretty.  And I often see bluebirds in our pasture.  They never come near my house.  Gorgeous blue.

    Been storms again in western Kansas.  Now I got a warning there are storms nearing us here.  Believe it when I see it.

    Good news.  It is 100 days until the astronomical Autumn or 79 days until the meteorological Autumn.

    Photos are ones I have taken.  Except the giant Dalahorse.  Not my photo & accidently signed it.

                        

15 september, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Normal night last night. Awake & in pain.  It does not help that Nico barks 3-4 times a night.  That drives me crazy.  Finally around 5am I slept some.

    Weather is ok.  Temps 71F & 92F.  Winds around 15mph.  I like that.  Hope it lasts overnight.  Keeps bugs away in the porch light.

    Had an app't with HP to style my hair after shampooing.  I am enjoying this.  Good to see him.  He always makes me feel good.  And look good!  I usually do not look good in his large mirror.  But I have been changing my makeup.  Today I liked how I looked.  Must remember what I used.

    It was a challenge to get to my app't.  The highway is being worked on.  One lane road with a pilot car.  My fave!!  😨  They stop all traffic & work for a while.  Then each way gets to go.  Once.  I sat there for ever.  Glad I left early.

    After my hair, I made a quick stop at Arbys for a sandwich & apple turnover.  Good & I did not have to cook.

    Photos are some collages I have done.  One is Kisse as a baby.  So sweet.
