09/2025 - Jueves the 11th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Dagny, Helny

    Not much to say today.  Home alone with little communication with the outside world,  Email from JL.  Texts from CF, JR, & MM.  Warmer weather today.  Warmer again tomorrow.

    Slept good.  Cinder comes & goes between her chair & curling next to me.  I barely notice.  Same for nap times.

    Working the next 3 days.  My last full weekend of work.  Hoping it is a fun weekend!!

    Photos are autumn, farm, art, etc.

Fun harvest supper meal photo,  Nice memory,

Sweet calves among flowers

Baby Kisse

Something I said???

Cinder & Nico ---  best friends

The river & stuff next to a river in Sweden.  Family lives here.

 

                                               

08/2025 - Domingo the 10pth - JOURNEY

 

Was an old time blacksmith shop with a British phone booth.  Now it is a coffee shop.

Today's Name Day:  Lars

Had a good friend Lars who stayed in Lindsborg for a couple of months.  He is an awesome artist from Sweden.  I really enjoyed his company.  Soooo.  I decided to visit him in Sweden.  It ended our friendship.  He just did not want to have company to spend time with.  Sad.  Wish I had never gone to see him.  And to just remember the fun we had here in town.  I do hear from him every once in a while,

    Today was ok..  I worked at the SVAFC.  Guests were just steady.  My cousin GS & his wife came in.  Not really a close relative so we don't know each other to well.  He knew this month's artist & had some great stories.  I enjoyed his visit.  Then the former newspaper editor came in.  I know him by name & reputation.  He was fun to chat with.  He also knew the artist.  Made for an interesting afternoon.  

    I took the office chair & wheeled around the room.  Got lots of closeups of little things are parts of the art.  Just for my memories.

    I decided to cancel supper plans.  Having some arthritis problems & stomach problems.  Just came home.

    I have made a decision & need to not eat out so often.  I am trying to support 3 families.  I am starting to worry about money.  I doubt anyone else is worried but I am.  Have to decide which nights to eat out on.  There is no way to replace money after it is spent. I just deleted half of what I wrote.  No one cares how I feel.  Deal with my feelings on my own.

    Had a good day but my depression is raging tonight.  Hope it calms downs by tomorrow.  Wish I had someone to confide in.

    Weather was cooler.  Had a big storm warning last night.  I got basically nothing.  Somebody got rain & wind but not here.  Now today there has been a flood warning for here.  And a clear sky.  The weather on the tv shows rain several places but not just here.  Who knows?

    Cinder has taken over my cloth purse that is still on the sofa.  Sleeping in a weird way.  Kisse is hiding.  No idea where.  I wish I was napping but have to finish this then my spanish lesson.

    Really no communication today.  Minimal at best.

    Photos are a mix..

Coronado Heights castle

Normal purple henbit.  And rare white henbit.  Only grew here once.

Think this is a scissor tailed flycather.  Love them but they never come near my house.  And hard to get a photo of.  But sooo pretty.

This is a family photo of Willie, me, & one of our dogs.  Long before dementia arrived.  Our rocking bench made by a friend,  Willie bought it.  Always think of him when I sit outside.

Love this photo.  Old shed & new windmill.  And cattle.

Utah. Bryce Canyon.

Me on a boat at Canyonlands Utah & on the Colorado River.  Wish I could go back there.

Today's Name Day:  Hemming, Henning

    Not a good day.  CF left at noon for Minnesota.  Using an uber driver.  I am beyond sad.  Feel like I will not ever see him again.

    I felt sick all night but my diabetes was ok.  Odd.  I cancelled today.  Felt I should not drive or go out until I feel normal.  Or more normal.  I should not be on FB.  I care about nothing today.  I know I have people who do care but today I do not feel it.  Not cancelling tomorrow yet.  Depends on the weather.  Severe storms possible.

    Photos are things that make me feel good.

On the way

First day at Snow Cone.  Huge crowd.

My heart is here.

05/2025 Onsdag the 21st - Wandering & Capturing Moments

Today's Name Day:  Conny, Konstantin

I had a best friend Connie for years & then she decided she was the center of the world & could not lower herself to be my friend. Long story.  Truthfully I am better off.  Once had a pastor name Konstantin.  I like him a lot.

    Had a great day.  I slept later than I planned so I had to move a bit faster this morning.  But no problem.  Got the kids all ready. Cinder never left bed this morning,  Kisse was all over the place.  Cinder is till sleeping.  Better go check.

    I had divided stuff from my large purse to my smaller purse.  Had to sit in the car & reorganise it all.  I keep the small one in the car to use if I got into the Stuga for supper & a cocktail.  Or something like that.

    I got to work on time.  All my photos were larger ones so they scan faster.  I moved them right along.  One photo has really bothered me.  I just knew I knew her so I looked up the artist I thought it was.  Not quite sure but added her name with a question mark.  There was a group of preschool kids who were a soccer team!! So cute!!  One more day & the pile I am working on is over.  Then to grab another handfull, sort, & start again.' 

    Had Mexican food for supper.  I sure missed being there.  Good food & good friends.  Then groceries,

    CF & I have texted a while tonight.  He is packed & ready to leave at noon tomorrow.  My depression about him is just overwhelming,  I will cry after he is gone.  I was hoping he would be here another day.  😞  My depression was obvious I guess.  I am good at upsetting others with my attitude or being upset over stupid things.  I need to learn to just be quiet & not upset others who then make me feel bad for being stupid.  I can cry for a couple of days & then be quiet.  No one needs to know,

    Nice weather today.  No wind & not too hot.  Rain this weekend.  Plan to decorate graves on saturday.  Unless it rains.  Then can do it the next weekend,

    Photos tonight are just photos.
