3/2026 - Onsdag den 4:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Main Street in Lindsborg showing from the right:  New tea room that is not open yet, flower shop, Sale BARn on the corner.

Tea room sounds cool.  Selling different teas, oils, spices.  Open soon I hope.

Today's Name Day:  Adrian,  Adriana

When I worked at the White Cross nursing home the owers' last name was Adrian.

    

    Not a good day.  Fell asleep early in bed. Slept nice for a couple of hours.  Then I woke up & that was that.  No more sleep.  Not even in the morning.  Combine no sleep with the increasing pain from my RA was not good.  I did not work today.

    I had hoped to fill better & go out for supper but when I woke up after my nap I just could not get up out of bed.  Slept longer & cancelled supper.  I hate to cancelle work because I like being there but I am learning there is  no one else to take care of me.  Or even care.  Found that out today.  Ignored by everyone except JL.  No one from work even texted me.  I was terrified they were mad at me but I got a nice text this evening.  Must have been a busy day.

    I usually eat out with 3 friends every thursday but tomorrow is cancelled.  No idea why.  I am relieved with that decision.

    With the stormy weather in Kansas last night I got nary a drop of anything,  Coming weather is fog thursday morning.  Storms forming in Oklahoma moving into Kansas in the evening through Friday morning,  Then another band of severe weather starts in Kansas friday night into Saturday morning,  I am in this one also.  Wonder if I get a drop or two.  Then next week around tuesday more storms.  Area is not set yet.

    ​I made a comment on a my fave weatherman ---- Ross Janseen's post.  I complained how the rain always misses my farm near Falun.  And he even answered me asking me how he can help!  If only he could control the weather.  I thanked him & complimented him & his dog.  Just a kind & fun moment.

    I looked out my front door & my llamas were in the pasture again.  Be ready tomorrow about the same time.

    I signed up for Netflix again.  My fave guy on SNL has a special on there.  Want to see.  Found a movie about Pricilla Presley, two about Marilyn Monroe, things from a fave comedian, & several movies that look good.  There are some foreign shows but not what I want.  I prefer British or Swedish.  And clever, not bloody.

    Photos today are mostly ones I have taken.  Not new ones but from the recent past.

            Photos from the White Peacock patio on a nice day

10/2025 - Lunes the 06th - MY JOURNEY

 

Love this photo!!

Today's Name Day:   Jennifer, Jenny

In my box of fotos there are several of a childhood friend named Jennifer.  Wish I still knew her.  No idea where she is.  No one knows.  Unfortunately my last daughter-in-law is Jennifer.  I think many problems with my kids all started with her & her greediness.  The worker at Bethany Home who always drove Mom & I to Salina & Wichita to doctor's appointment.  She is a special person.  I see her in town once in a while.  She was & is a blessing.

    I woke up early today & my first thought was "work".  I thought I had another hour to sleep.  Then it hit me ----- Monday!!! No work!!  Very cool.  Back to bed!!

    Had a little rain today ----- 0.38".  Our usual nothing.  Stayed cloudy & cool.  I just turned my heat on.  Feeling better.

    After moving the box of photos out of one of the cats' nests they both laid in bed with me to nap today.  They will survive.  Several other nests remain.

    Not much communication today.  MM is working & has texted me several times.  His boys are back in Wichita.  I fear for them the neighbourhood they live in.  Got my one photo a day from CF.  Little communication.

    I have a doctor appointment this week but am cancelling it.  Will reschedule it.  Just too tired. 

    I wanted a collage app on my laptop.  I finally found a free one that works fine.

    Not happy with the weatherman.  Loving the cooler weather but he is all excited that the 80s are returning this weekend.  😫. But not for many days. Then more 60s & 70s.  😀

    I have mail on my porch to bring in but after supper.

    Fotos are seasonal today.

 

Made a collage of Kisse & Cinder in boxes.  "If I fit, I sit."

National Pumpkin Day 

Not only do pumpkins make great fall decorations, but the pumpkin also completes a variety of tasty recipes. Join a pumpkin competition or visit any of the many fall festivals featuring the beautiful gourds.

Today's Name Day: Amanda, Rasmus

    What an awesome day!!  Great weather.  Our low was 34 with a high of 68.  Perfect!!!  Wish it would stay a loooong time.  Won't but want it to.  Sooooo looking forward on monday & tuesday to 60mph winds.  What a joy.  😱

    I slept pretty good.  But had a phone call from JS in the morning.  Good to hear from him.

    Before work I drove through the cemetery checking on Willie's flowers.  So far they are ok. Surprised.  Checked on MM's father & my friend John.  John needs flowers.

    Work at the SVAFC today.  And  I had tons of visitors!!!  What a fun day!!!  My fave artist was even in once.  He had an interesting old old newspaper article of him when he lived somewhere else.  One couple was in & I knew his mother.  How fun.  And another friend was in.  We used to be close friends but he has other friends now.  I never can keep friends.  Wish I knew why & what is wrong with me..  He said he hoped my day had been good as he prayed for me today.  Cool.  When he left I got a big hug, a kiss & a love you.  Made my day.  Maybe my week.

    I did not feel like cooking tonight so I went to the White Peacock for a cinnamon roll and strawberry green tea.  Nice meal.  I thought MM was bartending across the street but he was actually bartending at a wedding out in the country at a wedding place.  That would be fun.

    I just called JS.  Wanted to make sure he was ok.  I worry about him.  Great conversation.

    Photos tonight are from an art show from a couple of years ago.  Just some different photos to look at.  Tomorrow will do Halloween photos.  Been searching for what I want.

    Spanish lesson time.

                            

Painting of the Old Mill.  Love this one.

Next 3 are all Lester Raymer paintings.

New Year's Eve

Todays Name Day Sylvester

    Slept good last night.  No nap today.  Nico was ok all night also.  Cinder snuggled with me most of the night.  I think she sensed I needed her.

    Got cold last night.  In the 20s.  Now is 31F.  But no wind.  I sat outside to chat with my nephew.  Had farm business & I had something for his kids.  Something I bought for me but decided I would never use it.  They will love it!

    Not up to writing much.  Having pizza with JR later.  My only celebration.  And today is the birthdays of 2 friends.  Wish they both were here!!!

    Photos are New Years ones.
