12/2025 - Jueves the 18th - MY JOURNEY




Today's Name Day:  Abraham

    Having a good day.  Slept good last night.  Only 2 low moments.  I have found something that does my blood sugars good ----- cheese crackers & peanut butter.  Sometimes too many crumbs but no problem.
    Super bad weather in Kansas.  Driving here was ok with no dust yet.  Seems the warnings west of here are much worse.  Here is a photo from one of my weather apps of our wind here.
My collection of boxes are a mess.  But still by my house & not all over my yard.  My bulls are near my yard.  Probably not as windy there.  The news on TV showed that we did have a 72mph wind gust!!!
    There is a fire with evacuations in Hutchinson KS.  Has gotten better.  Scary.  Mostly in the country.  And now a fires around Russell & Hoisington KS with high winds.
    MM & I had lunch. plans but Lindsborg had no electricity.  So we waited to see what would happen.  Finally it was back on & off to town I headed. But.  No parking places.  I drove around the block around 5 times.  The last time someone near the front door backed out.  So lucky!! MM was already inside.  He said the minute the power was back on the entire Jalisco's filled up!!!  And they stayed busy.
    MM had a gift for me.  A box of hot chocolate mix & stuff --- mashmellows, spices, etc.  He bought to help me with low blood sugars!!! (-;  We had a nice visit!!
    When we left I was suffering from eating too much & post flu.  So I sat on a bench as MM said he had something else for me.  And what did he bring me??  Our good friend AA!!  I rarely see him.  We had a nice visit & I got 5 hugs from him.  Hopefully will see him & his mom while she is on vacation from the college.  I hope so!!  Miss him.  Met him when he played soccer for Bethany College.  What fun days!!
    Home now & catching up on some shows.  Kimmel & his ugly Christmas sweaters.  They are sooo ugly!!  Where do they find them??? 
    Cats are napping no doubt in the bedroom.  I should join them
    Photos are seasonal.

If I fit I sit. Cute!!



























When my Dad died in this country people donate money for the family to donate for something special.  Dad's money helped to pay for this nativity display.  It is in our church yard.  Always like it with snow on it.

12/2025 - Sábado the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 


Lucia Day  is a Christian feast day honoring St. Lucy (meaning "light"), a 4th-century martyr, and serves as a major Festival of Light in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe, ushering in the Christmas season with candlelit processions, saffron buns, and a focus on hope and light in winter's darkness




Today's Name Day:  Lucia
I actually have a sweet friend named Lucia.  She works at Jalisco's.  And has a sweet young daughter.  Love them both!! 💕

    Had an ok day but cold.  I decided my day was a Jammie Day.  Mostly rested.  Bed felt soo good.  Temp right now is 17F!!!!
    I went outside a couple of time.s  I could really feel the cold.  No mail delivered on my porch.
    Had an email from JL.  Gracie woke MM at around 3am wanting to play.  Who could say no???  She soon fell back asleep, but I got a couple of texts with photos.
    Today Lindsborg celebrated Lucia in town.  Both on Main Street, in a couple of churches, & the Old Mill.  There is food, Swedish dancing, we have 2 Lucias  ---  one is a high school girl & another is a 4th grade girl.  There are lots a cool crafts to buy.  One lady who creates knit things is giving away something to anyone who buys something at the Old Mill.  Great idea & so generous of her.  Even with the cold I hope there was a big crowd.  At the Mill Santa is in one building giving a talk.  The Pavilion has lots of music.  Super cold today.  In the 20s.  Brrrr. 🧊
    At nap time Cinder stayed in the living room, but Kisse loves me in bed.  She demands lots of petting.  And at some point will curl up next to me.  Love that.  She often sits near me in the living room too.
    Photos today are Lucia photos, Santas, Winter ones & drawings.
