08/2025 - Lunes the 19th - JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Magnus, Måns
was sort of a friend with a Magnus & still know him as an adult.  My great grandmother's last name was Magnusdotter.  Meaning she was the daughter of Magnus.

    Slept ok last night.  Had plans for today.  Got a late start but then all went well.
    While MM got showered & dressed I got  smothered in love by his dog Gracie & Rolo a sweet dog he is babysitting.  They were just what I needed today.  They both were on me at the same time.  And once in a while Gracie would quietly growl reminding Rolo that I am HER grandma. Cute.  Rolo went home tonight.  Wonder if I can get visitation!!  Sweet dog!
    Then lunch was at the SaleBARn.  And we got a big surprise when we got there.  A great friend to both of us, AA, is working there.  Very cool.  And what a major hug I got from him.  Known him since he was in college here & the soccer team captain.  Lordy they need several like him.  Got 4 new team members this week.  Hope they help.  Have to find out his hours there so I can eat there then.  Great food.
    Then we went to the bank & then groceries for MM.  He was out of everything.  I got some monday night but I forgot things I needed.  No big deal.
    Sky looked quite stormy out but Lindsborg or my farm got nothing.  Other nearby places got heavy rains.
    We have cooler weather on the way.  Sunday the high will br 78F.  Heaven.  Friend CW who does not like hot weather. We had a long chat on the cool weather headed here next week.  Won't stay of course, but the break will be heaven.
    Could see that Jalisco's is busy working inside.  Hope it is going well. 
    I tried to take a short nap but it was just a rest.  Hope I sleep good tonight.
    Photos are a mix.

Natioinal Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Used to have a gorgeous black cat come visit.  I think from our neighbours.  But not seen him for a long time now.  He & Cinder got along ok.


Today's Name Day:  Valter, Verner


    I am feeling better today.  I have no appetite so not eating healthy or good but I do not get sick when I eat.  Still very tired but woke up at a normal time today.  Well, normal for me!!!

    Cinder stayed close to me last night & this morning.  She went out after my lunch.  Back in now.  I like her inside.  Like having both cats near.  Think Cinder knows when I do not feel up to par.  She is in the minority,

    During the night for some unknown reason my right hand started hurting.  I had severe pain on all sides of my hand & my wrist,  Today I slathered it with pain cream & covered with my heating pad.  Might have helped some.  Tonight my left hand has some pain also.  Mostly around my thumb joint,  There is always something.

    Spent some time playing with photos.  I enjoy doing that.  Added a new app.  It is sooo cool.  Does things my other ones do not do.

    In looking for photos to use I came across a photo I am not sure I was meant to see.  From a couple of years ago.  Won't say who posted it, but it is cruel &  upsetting.  Sorry to see it again.  Why are people cruel

    TV sucks on the weekend.  Watching Expedition Unknown..  Probably seen most of them but still better than other shows or sports.  Not enough soccer or rugby on.

    My diabetic doctor's office called yesterday.  They had lab results to read to me.  Thyroid is ok.  No change in meds there,  And my A1C is the lowest I have ever had.  That is great.  A1C shows how your blood sugar readings were in the last 2 months.  You can try to lie but it does not work.  Made my day.

    Pretty much decided to quit ordering meals online.  If I miss telling them I do not want a set of meals for whatever time period, then they pick for you & send out.  I did not quite understand that.  I am thinking.  I have a couple of times cancelled.  But decided it is too much trouble.

    There is a commercial on the channel I am watching where they are showing potato chips & singing the typical soccer song that fans sing.  They are showing when the Premier League starts on TV.  Sure puts me in the soccer mood.  Today at the college was the soccer alumni match.  I did not go.  Not up to it & too hot & stuffy.  Humidity tonight is 76%.  Awful.

    People were quiet today.  Got emails from one friend.  And  JS is on vacation so he is sending videos all day.  We did have a long conversation yesterday.  I am glad he is having some no work or work at home time.  He never has time for himself to just relax,  Videos are cool.  At an aquarium now.  Huge place!!

    I love seeing people I care about having fun times but it is also diffcult for me.  I never get fun times anymore.  What I would not give to visit some place fun.  Even just to drive & sight see.  But since I am always the driver, I really cannot see much.  I can remember my cousin complaining about always being the driver due to her husband not being able to drive.  Now I understand  I never realised that there was a time limit on fun. I am past my end date.  My boss & I do have plans to go shopping for wheat weavings & lunch out.  Times with her are always fun.  But hard to get away.   At the Mill we have sold all the wheat weavings we had.  Someone came in & bought all we had!  Adding a photo of wheat weaving.

    Photos are just ones I played with or liked.

                            


Two best friends sleeping together.  Nico is really missed here.



I took this photo.  Called henbit.

I took this of a small pile of leaves then used my new app on it.

I took this photo on Main Street of a dala horse,  The first car seen is my old car.

New app does not do a good job on me!!! Hahaha!!

Bastille Day

Bastille Day is the common name given in English-speaking countries to the national day of France, which is celebrated on 14 July each year. In French, it is called the Fête nationale française; legally it is known as le 14 juillet.

On 14 July 1789, as social and political tensions rose across France, protesters took to the Parisian streets to express their opposition to their King and Queen. The mob grew in size and went on to attack the Bastille, a royal fortress and prison, leading to the eventual collapse of the monarchy.

This year’s celebrations will reach fever pitch as the Olympic torch arrives in the capital to great fanfare.


Today's Name Day: Folke


    Not a good day for me.  I got no sleep at all last night.  No idea why.  I had no cola type drink that keeps me awake.  I give up.  I finally got up 6am being tired of the bed.  Cinder went out then while it was still cool.  Got her back in at 11am before the heat hit.

    Cinder stayed in bed with me after lunch.  Not a good sleep.  No comfy position.  And my hip has started hurting again.  Time to get my heating. pad out.  Kisse stayed close also.  She layed in the window soaking up the sun rays.

    Horrid weather today.  My AC just cannot keep up.  House was in the upper 70s.  Outside I saw 104F.  Good grief!!  

    I was in no mood for supper but I have to eat to take my insulin.  Nothing tasted good.  The minute I get close to my fridge, Cinder is right next to me.  She loves my lunch meat.  I have to hand feed her one slice.  Spoiled kitty!!!  Must eat better tomorrow.

    Cinder has begged to go outside.  Nope.  Too hot.  When it got down to 92F, I let her out.  Feels awful.

    Strange weather last night.  I had several hours of lots of lightning & thunder.  Not even a hint of rain.  Huh???  Why not???  Stupid weather.

    Been texting with my friend AA.  He is in the hospital in Kansas City.  We are watching soccer "together" but miles apart.  I had it on in English but that does not sound right.  I switched it to Spanish.  I can pick out a word or two.  I like how it sounds.  Match between Columbia & Argentina.  Super late in starting.  People rushing to get in causing a dangerous situation.  Championship match.  The one announcer on is one I have hated for many years.  He was part of soccer on TV years ago when we barely had a national team.  One that our college could have beaten easily.  He is awful.  No score yet.

    Not had many texts today.  Mostly from AA.  Wish he was home so I could go to his house to watch soccer.   He was the best soccer player & captain of our team at the college.  And he cared about his team & players.  Those were good times.

    Photos are sort of have a pink theme.  Only took the collage photos.

National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day


Today's Name Day: Jens, Jonas


    I did not have the best sleep last night.  I was either too hot or too cold.  Eventually I just turned it all off, cooled down, & pulled my covers back on.  Then slept ok.  Even managed a short afternoon nap.  Too warm today.  In the 70s.  Do not like it.

    Invited to supper at my friend AA's house.  His mom made bacon arepas for us.  They are awesome.  He is from Argentina originally.  He was an awesome soccer player for our college.  So he looked to see if there was soccer on the TV.  There was!!  It was so much fun to watch with him & to hear what he thought should happen, what should not happen, & more.  And he predicted which team would win.  And he was right.  When he was captain of out college soccer team & the team came out of the field,  he always came to say hello to me.  I was good friends another player & we always said goodbye to each other after the match.  They both rented rooms with a great friend so I got to be friends with them.  And still friends.  I am so lucky.  I had a great evening!!!

    Got home & Cinder met me in my car near where my drive joined my yard,  She was excited to see me.

    Great art show at the SVAFC that ends this weekend.  JR & I are going tomorrow so we can see it & I can take photos of it.  It is carvings of friend of mine.  Love his work.  Will be awesome!!!

    Severe scary weather forecast for monday.  Doubtful we get rain here but wind & hail is possible.  Rain avoids us.

    I am in a black & white mood today.  So my photos are all black & white.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 344....

 Quiet day.  Not what I planned but I ended up cancelling everything today.


Warm weather but cooler.  And windy.  At least on the front door side of the house I did not feel it.  Weather won't be changing much.  Too warm then cooler and then too warm again.  Snow in the far west but not here.  Does not matter to me.  As long as it is not -20F.


I have been working on my husband's family genealogy. I have learned a lot. Interesting. 


Always be kind to everyone.


Photos are all old ones.



Too rare.
