5/2026 - Wednesday 13th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Linn , Linnea
Lynn was a boy I grew up with for a few years.  He had gorgeous red hair!! Linnea is a wild flower in Sweden.  Love them.  I have a young cousin in Denver named Linnea.  She is sweet!


    Today was the best day ever!!!!  I did not want to go home from work!!!  LL told me last night she had something for me at work.  It never dawned on me what it could be.  But I did guess right.  I got a new scanner.  A huge scanner so I can scan huge pictures.  Very cool.  Our IT team dialed in around 2pm to connect it to our stuff our software.
    It took me a long time to figure out how to get scanned photos to the album I wanted,  I am sure there is an easier way but once I could do it "my" way I just went for it,  On saturday I will work at fixing that.  Too nervous to try to day.
    Not quite as warm today.  I had a bench on the porch at the Old Mill that got moved for Mill Fest.  Someone was supposed to move it back where it came from for me but it never got done.  But today I met out cleaning/gardening lady on the porch.  She moved the bench for me & then we sat for a 5 minute break & chat!!  Nice!!  I like sitting on it if my back is tired or to warm up from the cold basement,  And to sit to take photos from the porch.
    I got lots of photos done this afternoon.  It was fun.  Photos are of little kids but no photographer listed.  I have posted some on Lindsborg Nostalgia & people actually like them.  Odd but nice.  I hope someone from this generation will recognise them.
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  I splurged with carnitas & a small ice cream. I usually have diet soda but tonight I had a strawberry Mexican soda.  Lordy was that good.
    Stopped at the grocery store for Cinder & I.  Now we are good for a while.
    Got my Spanish lesson done.  I will work on it until I am tired.  If I move down a level I no longer care.  Tired of my entire evening being just spanish.  I like other things too.  So now I am here.
    I did some searching for info on my grandmother Mimi.  Learned some interesting stuff.  I know she taught at a one room school house.  I had the name ---- Maple Grove ---- but not where it was located.  Google knew. She taught in 1916.  You could teach as long as you were not married.  She taught at age 19.  She got married in 1916 also.  I assume she taught for a year then got married.  No more career.
    Slight chance of rain tomorrow.  Not affecting me yet.  Today I have been able to straighten my left leg.  Cool. Walked better.  But my hands are killing me.  they have for days.  Ugh.

4/2026 - Måndag den 20:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Patricia , Patrik
I missed these names a few days ago.  Sorry. I want in school with a Patricia & worked with one.  Related to at least one Patrick in Sweden.  Know people with the last name of Patrick.


    Today was ok.  Did not get enough sleep overnight.  I tried to sleep & did for a while.  Then could not get back to sleep.  Had things I wanted to do today but too tired & too much pain.  As usual.
    Nice email from JL.  Most others were quiet to me.
    Warmer today.  Saw 82F here.  Last night was chilly.  I finally got warmed up.
    My new cat food must be ok.  It got eaten.  Great.  We all need changes sometime.
    Kisse is sleeping here in the living room.  But Cinder has taken over my bed.
    Sharing some local photos today.  Both fairly lately & old ones..
    Someone wanted photos at Coronado Heights with the board members from the historical society.  I did not go.  Too little notice.  And after I got fired with no warning I don't care. Not feeling part of it.  A couple of others were not there either.
    I moved some charging lines to my bedroom.  I can charge those while I sleep.  For my glucose sensor & a laptop stylus.  Then they will work all day.  See if I am correct.
    No cattle here or llamas.  Or I missed them.  Too windy to sit outside.

April 20 every year.


Cool photo from an old book about Lindsborg.

Old building on Main Street.  The Esping building,  Been a number of businesses.  My dad worked in it as a mechanic.  Empty now.  Wish it would be used again.

Photos from a recent restaurant.  Great food but the one owner got drunk & read me the riot act so I quit going there.  Scared I would get verbally attacked in public.  Closed now.  Poor management.  Sad loss.

Kisse had a night time burst of energy.  While I was awake,  Silly girl!!!


Yea.  Like I get to travel.  Did have someone promise to take me to a couple of places but never happened & never will.
