Today's Name Day: Josef, Josefina

Josefina is a very special name to me. We had a border collie named Kajsa Jo. I sometimes called her Josefina. She was so special.

Our blizzard day. We got lots of wind ---- gusts up to 60mph. Had a mix of rain/snow then just snow. Did not amount to much. About an inch of snow with moisture content of 0.24". Won't halp our drought even a little.

I slept late. Both cats did also. Cinder never left our bedroom until after our nap. Soo lazy!!

I surely did not need a nap but I took one anyway. Probably something to do with the weather & my health. Went to the bedroom & both cats were in bed. Both!! I managed to lay down & not upset Kisse. Cinder just moves & then finds a new comfy place. Great nap. A blizzard nap!

I went to get the mail. Cold!! Windy!! But Larry & Coco were near my house in the pasture. I made sure I had my camera. When I first stopped near them they looked at me. But no matter what I said later they ignored. How rude!! 😁 Sharing a collage photo of them later.

I had something new for supper. A cheese, egg, & sausage burrito. It was pretty good. Forgot I had them. Need to eat newer things. And I had powdered sugar donuts arrive today. Great dessert!

Our weather stayed in the low 30s today. After my nap the temp was almost 40 so no snow remained. Probably the last snow for me. Only heat to look forward to now. 😦

Photos from MM. Showed what he was cooking. I never cook but his looked wonderful ---- shrimp & potatoes.

Someone who was sick & in treatment & could not communicate was texting others today. Not me. He must have gotten permission to text now but I was not inclued. Kind of usual. I am always the last to know & not included in anything,

Time for Spanish lesson. They are a little easier last couple of days. I am glad.

Larry is the black one. Coco is the brown one.

I created this collage with flowers I probably took the photos of,

Today's Name Day: Tora, Tove

Not a good day today. I cancelled everything I had planned. My sore back I have had all week got worse overnight.. Walking is a challenge. A little better now but not great. I have been careful today not to lift or anything. I am sure the weather is playing a big part in my pain. And another storm is forecast for friday. 😞

I slept pretty good last night. Cinder was close for a while. Kisse cuddled with me a couple times. Very nice. I have learned if I use my weighted blanket over my feet I am less restless. No idea why but I tend not to toss & turn. And it hurts to turn when my back already hurts.

I did watch the state of the union speech. And I survived. All I have to say about it. I remain terrified for my country.

We got a tiny bit of rain overnight & a thin dusting of snow. Temp stayed in the 30s. Today the high was 40-50. Winds gusted to 50mph. A bit less today. Will stay windy for the next couple of days.

I started my day with photos from one of my great grandsons telling me good morning!! So sweet.

Photos today are of sunflowers. I either took them or shared them online.

This float was done in honour of Anton Pearson. In a Hyllingsfest parade I think in 1967.

Today's Name Day: Martina

What a great day!! Back at the Old Mill Museum working on a book of photos about Anton Pearson, a local famous artist. Carved & sketched. I am distantly related to him or some of his family. I added 4 different photos to the Lindsborg Nostalgia group. Had not done that in a while. No photo worthy of being there & blizzards.

Great to see LL. We had a lot to catch up on. She had a Zoom telecast in the afternoon but there was a door closed between us. I was careful what I turned on using my iPhone. I was scared it might somehow connect & mess things up. Missed AP. His day off. But the new director was there for a couple of hours. Saw her last night at Jalisco's.

Supper tonight was a Jalisco burrito I brought home last night. Soo good. I ordered two to eat. Left most of the second one. It heated up perfectly.

My donuts have gotten a bit hard, as usual. I put them in the microwave for 20 seconds. Perfect. Nice & soft.

Tomorrow night is supper at Pizza Hut with friends. JR will join us if he can. He is clueless & won't know until tomorrow afternoon.

Texted with MM & email with a friend. Nothing from anyone else. Used to being ignored. Even if I text someone I tend to be ignored. Did ask someone to be a friend. Thought we were but I guess not. Hope she says yes.

Chilly last night but 44F today, And sunny, Really melted the icy streets in town. Good.

Photos today are snowy photos again from the Mill, town, & my drive way. I just used what I took. There are too many!!! Sorry!!!

Bar across the street.

Today's Name Day: Hilding

Love this name. Knew a local man with this name. He & his wife owned a Swedish product store for years. He was also an artist. They were really nice people. Mom & his wife were friends.

Had a really good day today. Slept good last night. No major pains. Sure makes a difference with no cold fronts headed my way. A blessing. And no winds.

Had lunch at home then scooped poop & fed the cats. I dressed before lunch. Then I was out the door!!!

Got to work & MM saw me headed in. He came over for a hug & walked in with me. Another hug & he was back at to work. He was bartending at the Öl Stuga today. Loved seeing him.

Worked at the SVAFC today so artist MH could stay home to paint. I love being there & I think he is great so that was an easy decision for me to fill in. MH & her husband BH were there for a while working on something. I got to chat with BH for quite a while. Artist MH was in a couple of times. Always good. And he bought a photo of my brother's from his show. Third one he has sold.

Afternoon was pretty quiet. Several people were in leaving photos for the next show starting in a week. A friend, RN, came in & we chatted for a couple of hours. I always like to see him. We have lots of local stuff to talk about. Made my day pass quickly.

Artist MH came to lock up for me. Told him I will let him know about next friday. Pretty sure I will work for him. Small thing for me to do.

JR & I had Mexican for supper. I ordered 2 burritos. Ate 1 & a 4th of the second one. Lunch on saturday. Business was really slow so PR & his daughter went home. I told him as soon as he leaves they will get busy. That is exactly what happened.

Ended the day buying some groceries. I only needed a bottle of Sprite. JR needed a lot of stuff.

Got home & I am tired. Almost took a short nap but changed my mind. Did spanish lesson. It was actually easy. Yesterday I did one & it was so difficult. Hate that. Tonight was fun.

Cats are quiet tonight. They did eat today. I suppose they want new food. But I am tired so not rushing to feed them.

It was warmer last night & today. Saw zero for a low. Our high was in the 20s. In the afternoon the clouds went away. Tomorrow we will be in the 40s.

The road to town is perfect. No ice or snow. Streets in town have a lot of ice in places. I had no trouble driving but you have to watch. When looking for a parking place some were pretty clear but there was one I avoided. Too much snow & ice piled up.

Photos are ones I took near the SVAFC.
