Photo a week 2012 – Indulge

I indulged in a brownie at the White Peacock. To die for!

 

Many of us indulged in a Swedish smörgåsbord in Ada Kansas. The best ever!

 

And I am always a sucker for pina colada!!! True indulgence!!

Blogg 18/02/2012 Eating out, work, goats…

 

Weather is a bit cooler today. We had light rain overnite. Extremely light. Maybe rain on monday.

 

Yesterday was my Swedish group. We seem to get fewer all the time. Only 11 there. How much longer can we go on? Used to have 30 every week. All the ones who enjoyed have either died or gotten too sick to come. And no one younger can be bothered. They say good things about us but truly do not care or several of them would show up once in a while. Ha.

 

I met Naomi, Betty, Keo, and Linda in Assaria for lunch. Several local women cook the noon meals and it is great food. Great farm cooking!! Yesterday they had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and pie. I had coconut pie. Mmmm.

 

Today I worked at the Red Barn in Lindsborg. Quiet day. Several people were in but none for tours. And Mary came in to have me help with a computer problem. Well, really a software problem. No problem. An easy fix. Nice to see her. We had time for a little chat also.

 

On the way home I drove past some neighbours farm who raise goats. They have many kids now. Sooo cute. I opened my window to take some photos and they were sure talking to me. So fun to hear!!

 

Tonite it was steak nite in Marquette at Rusty’s. The. Best. Steak. Ever. None of Willie’s friends were there so it was a quiet evening meal. But sooo gooood.

Blogg 13/02/2012 Taxes, ice, nap…

 

 

 

Weather is still bitterly cold. The snow quit around midnite then nothing. Then this morning and all day we had rain or mist or whatever. Roads turned to ice. Glad I could stay home. Felt cold in the house all day. I early on added a heavy sweater and heavy socks to my attire.

 

I had the nite from hell last nite. Had an update for my Blackberry. Said it might take 2 hours. Took much longer. I tried to stay up until it was done. Gave up finally. I had many odd dreams. Then a major cramp in one leg. I almost had to get up to walk it off. I swear I saw every hour on the hour. I tried to sleep late. Ha.

 

Spent all morning working on my Blackberry. Had to sign in to everything again. I got FaceBook to work and Twitter to work but not emails. Somehow after googling for help, I stumbled onto where I could readd my emails. More work than I planned. My phone had quit holding a wallpaper that I wanted. Works now. And my Google sync always gave me an error message but it worked right. Now no error message.

 

I had a doctor’s app’t today with a fasting lab work. But my blood sugar went low and I had to eat. Cancelled it all until march. I was not going to drive on ice anyway. Has to be a life threatening event to get me to drive on icy roads.

 

Took a long nap this afternoon. It was cold and dark out. Perfect nap weather.

 

Finished up with taxes for real now. Got my report printed out and Willie does whatever he does. And now to deal with a new accountant. Hmmm. IF we did paperwork every month we would not have to do nothing. IF. He refuses to work with me. Asked for years. Have now given up. If it is my idea or something I want, not gonna happen. So I give up and expect nothing.

 

Watched the Grammys last nite. Good show. Could do without rap music. Just not my thing. Same for Taylor Swift. I loved seeing Paul McCartney and Springsteen, the Beach Boys. Awesome!!! I was never a Whitney fan and her death does not change that. The show did a nice tribute to her. Sad she died so young. She had so much to live for. Too bad she could not see that.

Photo Challenge – Share Your World: Week 9

A photo of my sweet dog as a puppy. She is half Border Collie and half Whippet.

 

 

A photo of a scissor tailed fly catcher. They are so hard to get close to and this one posed so nice for me, let me get close, and stayed for a long time.

 

 

My all time fave photo. One of the last photos I took of Mom. We eating at her favourite place and we shared a martini. Oh, to return to that moment…..
