Perfect photo of Nico & Cinder.  Probably looks better in color.  I should have it framed.  Nice memory.

Today's Name Day:  Ebba,  Ebbe

I have known a couple of Ebbas locally.

    Had a great day!!  First day out of the house in 7 days.  Freedom!!!  All photos today are taken in B&W.  Just my mood.  May do it again!!

    Slept ok with the help of medication.  Nice.

    Lunch was with LL at the White Peacock.  I had biscuits & gravy with a DC --- Diet Coke.  Good food & good conversation.  Also saw MH & had a nice visit.

    Work was a total mess.  If I had possession of a shot gun, my scanner would be dead out in a field somewhere.  That dang thing.  It never worked good for a moment today.  I could maybe scan a couple of photos then it would scan a black or blue image.  I would reboot & start again.  I was not relaxed.  Worked with gritted teeth!!  But we did manage to have some laughs.  Good.

    Then JR & I went for supper & Jalisco's.  AJTR had my booth saved for some people can just show caring easier. Make me feel good. And even shook my hand in welcome.  I ordered carnitas that were so good but my stomach acted up.  I gave up.  Had ice cream for dessert.  It was soothing.

    We were in a tornado watch that ended up as nothing.  When I went home the clouds sort of gathered together & there was lightning.  All in Lindsborg.  At home there was only strong winds.  Winds blew all day.  Ruined my hair!!!

    I was really tired when I got home.  Laid down for a short nap.  Then I tackled my Spanish lesson.  Sort of easy today.

    Now blogging with Cinder trying to lay on me. Settling for laying next to me.

    All photos are local.  Will explain them all.  Had fun using my iPhone.  Downloaded a phone app I am liking.  Lots of options.

My bullls have gained quite a few calves in their pasture.  Nice to see.

Paper flowers on our table at the White Peacock.  I like them.

Inside main dining room.

Carving by Bruce Harding.  He is awesome.

MH's chairs & far window leading to the patio.

Small table.

This month's artist.  It is Noah Flores.  Great artist.  Plus he works for the city & our historical group.  Both his parents are artists.  I know his mom but not his dad.

Table & display of teas & coffees.

Me in front of Noah's art.

Paper flowers up close.

Biscuits & gravy

DC.  Good.

My work at the Mill for the day.  The tiniest of photos of school kids.  First one I saw today was of my daughter.  Must have been around first grade.  Old photos of when life was "normal" always hurt.  Nothing normal now.  Kids hate me since I was stupid & they counted on.  And refuse to let me have contact with son's 2 kids.

Jalisco's TV.  AJTR has baseball on it.  Not any US teams.  My least favorite sport.

Cup for sale in the White Peacock.  I like it.

03/2026 - Torsdagen den 5:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Still missing my winter.  Going to be an extra long summer.

Today's Name Day:  Tore,  Tove

    Had a better day.  Not a lot of sleep thanks to my phone.  But had a nice cozy nap.  I stretched out on the sofa.  Woke up with Cinder laying on my chest.  Very nice.

    It was foggy overnite & this norning.  Right now there is rain in my area.  Small area.  Stronger storms later.

    Sort of ignored again.  MM sent me photos of Sorion who is here visiting his dad.  I am glad MM sees his kids more often than before.

    Had an enmail from JL.  And my usual morning & bedtime graphics fron C&N.

    I have readers fron Canada.  I like that.  Good people there, unlike here.  We have problems.

    I got so surprised last night.  On Duolingo they actually passed to the next level up.  I was sure I was not doing good enough.  The lessons in Spanish are about weather.  At least something I am familiar with.  Missing my Mexican amigos.  Hope I get to see them tomorrow evening.  Been a loong lonely week for me at home alone.

    No llamas today.  I was asleep.  Dang.

    Photos today are a mix.  I played with some photos that I have taken.  I changed them to B&W then edited them further.  Some are ok.  Some I just don't like.

    Tonight is my favorite tv night.  And just found some shows of Jeff Dunham. Love him.  Got to see him live in Las Vegas.  So funny!!

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
