Today's Name Day:  Denise, Dennis

Friends now with a Denise.  Very cool lady!!  My grandpa was a Dennis. Never knew him..  In school with a Dennis.

    Not up to writing much.  Sick at home today.  No need to whine.  I have rested mostly.  

    Cinder is being a brat.  Wherever Kisse loves to lay, Cinder has taken it over today.  Kisse is glaring.

    Hot today.  Saw 102F.  Glad I could stay in.  Same tomorrow.

    Photos are mostly autumn things.

Nico's favorite laying spot --- between my knees.  He did that his entire life.  Over or under coveres depending on the weather.

Nico's baby.  I buried it with him.  He always knew exactly where it was.  Sometime he would throw it in air & it would be lost.  Then I would have to find it.

In the local library.

Great Grandma with Gracie.

Great Grandma with Gracie.  I am sitting under a sky like.  Neat light shining on me.

Today's Name Day:  Adolf, Alice

    Had a quiet, restful day.  Much cooler.  Thunder & rain around noon & now again around supper.  Severe storm warning now.  Really loud thunder!!  No heavy rain.  Maybe some on the way.

    Yesterday I was too tired to blog.  Had a great day at the SVAFC & supper of sallad.  Visistors were few until late afternoon.  I had downloaded a book on Fika.  I liked it. Read it all.  Even had some Swedish recipes in it.  Small book that I enjoyed.

    No major communication with anyone today.  Busy people.

    I totally forgot tomorrow is trash day.  I have brought no trash outside.  And with high winds both trash bins are on their sides.  And I am not going out in a severe storm warning to set them up & take trash out.  Not safe.  I can do it maybe tomorrow.  I have one appointment so should have time.

    Photos are mostly flowers & a couple of other ones.

 I took my nap as usual.  No cat joined me.  When I got up the tv was turned on.  I had left it off.  Hmmmm.  😊.  I assume one of them stepped on the remote.

Today's Name Day:  Axel, Axelina

Have known or known of many Axels, some are family.

    A very quiet day.  I was just too. tired to do anything.  So I cancelled everything.  No major explanations.  At least not here.  Slept most of the day.

    Got hot again but with a nice breeze.  I saw at least 91F.  I had mail to sort through on the porch.  Not bad to be out.  Too much mail..  Monthly stuff  ----  cat food, paper goods, glucose tabs, soft drinks, & such.  Just time consuming to open & sort through.

    Severe weather is still forecast for tomorrow.  I am still in the worst area.  Hope it does not come here.  Harvest is more important at this time.

    Got a letter from my RA clinic that they had to change my appointment date for a different date at 830am.  Not gonna happen.  I have an almost 2 hour drive,  I sleep poorly, & hate mornings.  Will call tomorrow to change.  Hope my girl has not quit.

    Gotta find a time to go to Hutch to get meds.  Hopefully this week.  Also need  to get my car oil changed.  Maybe next week.

    One family member is no longer considered family.  She showed her true colors on Father's Day.  And she has been lying to me.  I am done with her.  Very sad.  She hurt someone I love.  And a father.

    Photos are just a mix of things I like.

One of my fave photos of The Old Mill.  From a post card.

Near my house now.  Amazing.

Near my house now.

Salt water fish tank in his house years ago.

Vultures in the road.  Why?  Second time to see this. Not vultures but cannot think of the correct name.

Me & Mikael a couple of years ago.  Wish I could help him more.  Getting treated so bad but someone.

04/2025 Måndag the 28th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day:  Ture, Tyra

    Today was a day of rest only.  Both cats were thrilled.  The three of us all cuddled together.

    Severe weather now but not near me.   They had huge hail & high winds.  Keep it there.  JR can see the clouds so he & his camera are outside.  I am sure I could see them but staying in.  It is 85F here now.  Hate the heat.  I have the AC on so the house is ok.

    Tomorrow is trash day but there will be no trash outside.  The bins are tipped over & the wind is gusting up to 30mph.  No need to try to set them up.  I have a couple of bags of trash but they can wait.  With all the cold fronts coming & going I am in constant pain.  And no offers of help so I wait.  Used to get help but not any more.  Given up getting an offer.  My problem.  No one else needs to care.

    Phone call from my cousin with some disturbling news.  Hoping for the best.  She will be here in a couple of weeks.  Hopfully we get to meet for lunch.  I hate not being able to go to Denver so we can lunch, shop, & visit.  Those were good days.  But I cannot drive or fly without help anymore.  And all family is too busy there for me to visit anyway.

    Quiet texting day.  That is ok.  People are busy.

    I am not working at all this week at the Old Mill.  Have a doctor's appointment that cancelled one day.  And next weekend there is a big festival at the Mill.  Friday they have hundreds of kids come in from different schools to tour people there showing crafts, animals, singing, dancing, etc.  And the next day they turn the Mill on for people to tour.  Wish I could be there.  They have a video of it running.  I need to watch.  I work one  day at the SVAFC.  That is good.

    No cattle or llamas today.  If I saw a llama I would take my phone out.

    I have tried to use smaller purses with my cane but have given up.  Hard to get all I want in my purse & hard to take out what I need.  And no way to take my blood meter with me.  Got a new purse that will be much better.  I have a tiny purse in the car so when I got in to the Stuga for a cocktail & supper I can just bring what I need ---- car keys, money, credit cards, insulin.

    Photos today are just flowers.  Ones that I have taken over the years.
