Weather is really really cold again. In the teens at nite. I almost roll myself up like a mummy at nite to get warm. But much better than being too warm. Of course, no rain or snow. Nary a chance. Very sad. Today was cloudy most of the day.
Swedish Group today in Lindsborg at the Bethany Lutheran Church. Had a couple of members who had been gone for a while. Good to see them. And we got to sing Du gamla, du fria with piano!! That has not happened for a long time! Our program was to watch a video about Birger Sandzén. Very good!! Lots of old photos of where he lived in Sweden and of his family. We got about half of it watched. Will finish the next week.
I met Sally for lunch at Jalisco’s after group. Had my usual Arroz con pollo!!! With a dieta. And the key word there was frio!!! Mucho frio!!! Great good. Better visit.
I made a quick stop in the White Peacock before going home. Got an ice tea. AND. A new painting. It is awesome and I love it!! Painted by Jackie who is part owner. I had a painting there picked out and then I saw this one. Now it is mine. MINE!!!!
Stupid Word Press deactivated my blog yesterday for violation of their TOS. I emailed them but no answer yet. Now I don’t care. Have switched it to another site. Screw ‘em. I like to link to places I got whether a town, state, business, or whatever. Someone reading in France my have no idea what say Walgreen’s is. I am not advertising for them or anything but I think WP thought so. Well, if my life violates them, I will stay away.
Trying --- TRYING --- to watch American Idol. What a challenge. It started with some kind of scraping sound instead of sound. Then I got sound but the picture was black. Then the screen turned bright yellow. Then normal then black and then yellow. See how long the normal lasts now. Not my tv. This channel frequently turns yellow. Well, it is Fox so who knows.

Good that the day was good :) That name ... Sandzén, I met a guy in Eskilstuna with that name, and he was related to people in my hometown. Such a long time ago, that was 1985.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to info about Birger. Tells where he is from in Sweden. I wonder if that guy was a relative. I grew up across the street from Birger's daughter Margaret. Her husband was a cousin to Beverly Sills, opera singer. They were an elegant couple and so very nice.
ReplyDeletekram!
I see that he grew up in Skara. Today, there are 18 people with the name Sandzén in Sweden. Now I don't remember where this guy came from, I don't think he was from Eskilstuna.
DeleteTo me it is an odd name and not so much Swedish. I imagine some of his ancestors have a different surname now.
