12/2025 - Domingo the 28th - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Jasper, Woodrow
My cousin's father-in-law was Woodrow.

    Had an ok day.  Slept good.  I set my alarm really early to get my water dripping about the time it got really cold.
    Cinder slept with me off & on.  Kisse was near.  Once in the middle of the night there were no cats near me.  Who knows where they were?
    Had a middle of the night photo from MM & Gracie.  But nothing today.  A short email from JL.  Eating something made her ill yesterday so quiet today.  Hope she is better.  CF sent me photos of his now but nothing else.
    We had mist during the night & snow started really early today.  Long before I got up.  I made it out on the porch for a few photos.  I did not move much.  Carport is or was full of snow.  Scared to move much.  And did not try to walk down the steps.  Best to avoid places where I could slip & fall.
    Decided to stay home today.  Lindsborg might be ok but Burma Road could be icy & snow packed.  Best to stay home.  I did read where the interstate was slick & scary.  Maybe eat tomorrow evening.  Roads should be better but still very very cold.
    Spanish is going well.  For now.  And my Mexican friends are flying home today.  How lucky they were to be with family in Mexico.  I can dream.  Had my chance & blew it.
    The Julbok in Gävle Sweden collapsed in a bad storm today or yesterday.  Better than fire!  There is a video of him falling apart!!  Here is a clip from it.  See him lean.  Ended up in a pile of straw.
    I am sick of TV.  Dish has Holiday Dish Scapes.  I am watching some old ones now.  A fave is on now.  And Christmas music.  I never listened to Santa Baby or Blue Christmas.  Do those later.  Been a tough holiday time for me.
    Wish there was something good for supper here.  Boring stuff.  Sigh.  I read about a new cool eating plac/bar opening in Abilene.  It is on my list of places to go.  If. JR cannot get up early to eat at noon I am going alone.  Looks great!!!  I know the street it is on but not exactly where.  Saddles & Spurs.
    Photos are of my snow here & other wintry stuff.

My snow photos are first here.  Me in my slippers.












Two cute photos of cats.











Think this is my church in Sweden








Two AI photos of me.  Playing again.

12/2025 - Viernes the 26th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Stefan, Staffan
Known or related to several Stefans or Staffans.  Mostly in Sweden  Like this name.

    Today was my only day of Christmas & my last day of Christmas.  Not a bad day though.
    Our day ended with a meal at the Crown & Rye.  I got brave & tried the potatiskarv.  Very good.  I did not keep the cabbage on it but had fries instead.
   While eating one of the waitstaff came to talk with me.  She recognized me as being a good friend of her husband.  She made my day.  We have seen each other but not sure we have been introduced. She is very nice.  And I have known her husband since he was in high school.
    We always check the ice cream shop to see if they have any Old Mill Mint.  And they did!!!  I have a tiny dish of it.  Been too long!!  Very good!!
    JR put fuel in my car.  Nice that he does that so I can sit!!!
    Then I drove around town to see Christmas light.  Or Jul lights.  I took photos.  He did not but enjoyed seeing them.  I have one more to picture to capture on sunday.  Then I am done with Christmas.  Tired of it.  I think next year I send out one or two general photos & that is it.  Not a total of 100 or more.  New Years I am doing one or two greetings & then done.  Tired of it all.
    Seemed like fewer houses are decorated this year.  Maybe they are still out of town.  Sad.
    Was way too hot today.  The sun shining in my bedroom window made the bedroom 80F.  Yikes!!!  Turning on the AC did not help.  Got home & the house is ok,  Leaving the AC on all night tonight.  Refuse to suffer tomorrow.
    Have not eaten out with my group of 3 friends.  Too much sickness.  Down to start again in january.  Hope we all stay healthy.
    My phone sucks.  Not enough memory.  I take too many photos.  May have to get another one.  See if they can help me.
    Got my act together & paid my property taxes & water bill.  Must pay propane on monday.
    Photos today are snowmen & snow.  Jul lights tomorrow.































AI Me with a snowman!
