3/2026 - Onsdag den 25:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Missing winter.

There is no name for today.  I have no clue.

    I had sort of a good day.  I slept well in spite of having a nightmare close to morning.  Just spooky.  With me & people I know.  Weird.

    Today was a work day.  Fun to see everyone.  Had good conversation when there was time.  Our new director starts on monday.  I only remember directors who used the office by the front door.  Our new one is going to use a space in our basement.  Guess I will get to know her pretty good.  Will be fun.

    My scanner is much worse.  I could scan one photo.  When I tried for a second one it screwed up.  I would reboot the scanner.  I finally started using a part of the scanner to preview the photo.  If it looked ok I woud continue.  If it was a awful color I stopped & rebooted.  Slowly I moved on.  Working on the tiniest photos & almost done.  I hope a new scanner appears on my desk soon.

    No llamas when I went to work but they were in the pasture when I came home.  Not close enough for a photo though.   And one feral cat running in my back yard.  A grey one.  Young looking.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Fun to see my amigos!!  I Miss there.  Need to go there more often.

    Saw a classmate there & I had ordered a class reunion tee shirt & she had mine for me.  Not sure I will attend.  I do not feel part of my class.  They all keep in touch with each other.  I am in touch with no one unless they live in town & we run into each other accidently.  Sort of like my family.  I suffer from major FOMO ----- fear of missing out.

    Dessert was ice cream from the Barnyard Creamery.  Gotta quit.  Too much.  Either a meal or just ice cream.  Look closely at the photo.  Funny.

    A quick trip in to the grocery store.  I needed 3 things.  Cinder & I are happy now.

    Driving home I saw a couple of small deer & slowed way down.  There were 4 half grown deer ran over the road in front of me.  No time for a photo.  Should have AI design a photo for me!!!  They were so sweet!!!

    I had photos last night from MM.  He was exhausted from doing moving stuff.  Had a text from JL.  Photo from a Texas friend.  That is it.

    I am surprised.  I had people from Sweden look at my blog.  There has been people from Danmark for a while now.  There sometimes some surprise countries.  I am sure missing them has something to do with our government.  Very sad.

    Cinder is not happy.  She wants food now not later.  I am busy.  Cats did not eat overnight so there was almost a whole meal for them today.  And it is gone now.

    I planned to carry trash out tomorrow, but oh no.  High winds.  Cannot make the bins heavy enough do they don't blow over.  Dang.  Ay ay ay ay.  Maybe I can brace one in front of a tree.

    I took a very short nap when I got home.  Cinder woke me early.  Just walking over me.

    Cute photos tonight,  And one photo explaining what you need to notice in each picture.

This explains the previous pictures!!! Love them!!!

11/2025 - Sábado the 01st - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  No name in Sweden today.  It is a holiday.  Graves in cemeteries all have lit candles on them.  Beautiful.  I did that once but did not leave them burning.  I sat & enjoyed the candle then blew it out & did another grave.

    A so-so day for me.  Not really recovered the stress from work yesterday.  Sitting here alone has not helped.  Had only a short nap.  Bright sun when I woke up.  Then dark soon,

    Got pretty cold last night.  Think we hit a low of 33F.  Same forecast for sunday morning.  No chance for rain for a few days.   I wish it would just stay cloudy & no bright sun.  High today was mid 50s.

    Heard strange noises outside.  Like someone was in my yard.  Maybe a car door.  I did not dare look,  Late mail delivery?  Will check later.

    Not much in communication.  MM is busy with his 2 oldest sons.  Nice to see the photos.  He saw his youngest son when came home & landed in Wichita.  That mom rarely shares him with his dad.  Karma will hit her some time in the future.  I fear how he will handle it all as an adult.  Same with the mom of the oldest boys.  Had a nice email from JL.  She is working on quilts.  A photo with no comment from CF.  He led me to believe how wonderful it would be for us with him there.  Wrong.  I am mostly ignored.  He assured me the other grandmother wanted to live chat with all of us together.  HA.  I rarely see even a photo of her.

    JR & I worked on his cell phone account.  I got a new credit card so the two of us added the new one.  Old one good through november.  But it is all ready.

    Starting my 30 days of being thankful through all of November.  I do this yearly.  Should do it daily all year.  But it so difficult for me to see all the family holiday photos.  I was hoping we could go back to celebrating in JR's office but he is maybe not in the mood to do that.  If not I will take me out to eat at noon while he is asleep.  What will be will be.  I only can do what I can do.

    Photos are seasonal ones I found in my memories.  Nothing family oriented, of course.  No cameras that many years ago.  Years ago most of Mom's family celebrated holidays together.  But then it got to be too many people.  So it was just Mom, Dad, me, Willie, & kids.  Either at Mom's or my house.  But as I felt worse & did not want to be in charge.  Pissed off my son.  Boy did he let me know.  That was with his third temporary wife.  I wonder if my RA was quietly starting then???  Not that anyone would care.  Think that wife was the one who created the idea to steal my farm from me.

    JR used to visit many local family members, but I was never included so I have never fit in anywhere.  All the cousins were too young for me.  I was too young for the adults.  I fit in nowhere.  Still don't.  Only in Denver did I feel like family.  They were the best out there.  Should have started going there more often.  Oh well.  Cannot go back.

National Bubble Wrap Day

It is addictive!

Today's Name Day:  Diana

    Just a lazy day.  Felt tired & lazy.  I needed to go to town but will do that tomorrow.  I did get a nap in.  

    Cinder has been out most of the day & back out again now.  I gave her some new food & she turned her nose up to it.  Picky.  Put her dish outside with her.  She ate some of what I put out this morning.  She cuddled most of last night.  Helps me relax.

    AP from the Old Mill museum called about my fundraiser I sponsored.  It was very successful.  Call my financial advisor so he can deposit the money in one of my back accounts.  Then I can get a check this week or next to deliver to the Mill.  I am thrilled that I could help them.  It was fun.  They had a large jar they filled with wheat (Old mill was a flour mill) & had a legend as to how much people had given.  Fun to watch it grow!!  I hope they have someone help next year also.

    We have set aside some free for families who cannot afford a family membership.  No questions asked.  Hope they get used.

    Cinder slept in the living room near me this afternoon.    She is staying close more often.  I like that.  When she was little her fave spot was on my computer keyboard.  I have some cute photos of her then.

    Today was an unannounced Jammie Day.  Too tired to even do that much.  Hope I am perkier tomorrow.

    I hate to even have the tv on anymore.  Nothing but Super Bowl & the players & the one's girlfriend.  Usch.  I ignore the best I can.

    We were extra warm today.  Saw 66F & lots of sun.  Cooler this coming weekend with rain.  And mud.  Double usch.  Then next week 50s again.  Our normal temps should be in the 40s not 60s.  Oh, the summer, heat loving people are loving this.  I would do better to live in Washington or Oregon.  Heaven.

    My tv is on the Science Channel with Josh Gates on Expedition Unknown.  Love his shows.  There is another show about museums I like too.  Or Mysteries of the Unknown.  They are interesting & you often learn something.  Josh has done many shows from the Holy Land.  They truly make me an unbeliever.  He is not but I sure am.  So much misinformation that people believe.

    Wish the trash people would come tomorrow since they missed me last week.  I am not moving my boxes back to near the house.  They can load them soaking wet.  They have skipped me about 4 times but came only one extra time.  I know we have had bad weather but give me a break.  They should at least refund some funds.

    Got word from CF.  They are headed to Florida.  Not sure what city.  I would like to go back there.  Was there for a week before my 18th birthday.  Pretty ocean & land.  But too humid. 💧

    Photos today are from my FB memories.  The last two are mine.  The town is Lindsborg Kansas that I edited..  The stars are taken from my yard.  The first photo is from somewhere in Sweden.  I did not take it, but I wish my church had one inside.  I would go in to light a candle or two.  I lit candles all over Sweden when I was there.

                        

30 june, 2022 Wandering

    Hot again.  Old news.  Humidity is low & we have a breeze.

    I went to Salina to see my financial advisor.  His office in downtown.  But all the cement in town with temps at least 95F was horrible.  Had a good meeting.  He is the best guy I know.  We talk money & many other things.  He helped me with my taxes today.  We made some decisions about my savings.  I need to see him more often.  He says things about me that just cannot be true.  Nice to hear but if they were true I would have friends.  Even family.

    I had planned to go to my grandson's place to shampoo my hair.  But I stopped at a salon in Salina.  New place to me.  Got in quickly.  But the girl I got said she has no idea how to style hair.  Huh???  So I just had a nice shampoo & she dried my hair with no style.  Not pretty but I can redo it tonite or tomorrow.  It will be fine.

    No Cinder here this morning but when I got home she was here.  I fed & watered her.  And we loved each other.  She is a special cat.

    This noon I was standing on the porch & a bluebird flew through my yard.  They are never in my yard.  The are the most striking blue.  He made my day.

    Still saw a couple of combines cutting today.  The wheat in one field was pathetic.  So sad.  And yesterday a combine near Salina caught fire & burned up.  Driver was ok.  It happens when the machine shoots a spark.  Sad.

    Photos today are from where I used to work, The Red Barn Museum & former home of artist Lester Raymer.  He built this house & all art seen in my photos are made by him.
