Blogg 30/03/2012 Futbol, art, Swedish group, mojito…

 

Weather is just too warm. The house is too warm. The A/C needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, that is not my decision or right or privilege to do that. So, I suffer. There has been rain in the state, but nary a drop near my farm. What else is new?

 

Everything blooming is about a month early. Our wheat is headed out. IF we get a freeze in april, our crop is cooked. And that could happen. Time will tell.

 

Wednesday I had acupuncture. She did the normal needles. I have no idea what has changed but my back pain is a bit less. I have done nothing different. I am not pain free, but better. Hmmm.

 

Today was my Svenska Vänskapsgruppen, Swedish Friendship Group. Actually had a nice group. I had bought a 1900 Messiah poster/article. I brought it and read the text then passed it around for the group to see the photos. It sparked so many memories of Messiah festivals of the past. So much history and so many memories. This was Alf and Maud Brorson’s last meeting with us. Oh, how I will miss them. They leave the monday after Easter. Alf told us about Påsk – Easter – in Sweden. Wish I was there. I always wish that.

 

I took myself out to lunch at Jalisco’s. I surprised Eric there by learning a new phrase all by myself. ‘Muy sabroso’. That means ‘very tasty’. Francisco and I had a fun talk about futbol!! Finally. Someone I can chat with about futbol!!! Most people around here have no idea there is such a thing or any of the players. The waiters from Jaslico’s play futbol every sunday afternoon. After Easter, I am going to watch me my first live futbol match!!!!

 

This afternoon I worked at Lindsborg Collects. My last time. It was fairly slow. My friend Naomi came in to chat a bit. Good to see her!!!

 

Came home tonite and had a mojito. Ended the day just right!!!

Blogg 25/03/2012 …Messiah, Japanese food, Red Barn Studio

 

Weather is warming up again. Ick. I prefer it cooler. I prefer my winter clothes to summer clothes. Oh well.

 

Sunday I had lunch with my cousin Bill. I so enjoy his company! Interesting. And he knows so much family history! I am glad he has moved back here. He has little family like me. Lots of relatives of mine around here but very few give me the time of day. Any day.

 

Sunday afternoon was dress rehearsal for the Messiah. Had to stand far too long for me in one place. The hall was a bit too warm for me. My back hurt but it was tolerable. I think we did pretty good. We had student soloists. They were all very good. I enjoyed hearing them.

 

Today I took my granddaughter Ashley out to eat. We ate at the Diamaru Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi. My fave place. I had shrimp and salmon with crab rangoon. Excellent!!! It was sure fun to see her and chat. We must do this more often.

 

Late this afternoon we had a docent meeting at the Red Barn Studio. Father Frank Cody was our speaker. He was a friend of Lester Raymer’s. He gave us a lot of insight to Lester’s religious paintings and art. We also had wine and cheese and crackers. Always fun!! Tried a new wine. It was dessert sweet. And wonderful!! I do not like a dry wine and prefer something sweet. Must buy me a bottle!

Blogg 19/03/2012 …Finally rain, Messiah

 

Weather was too warm yesterday. Today is much nicer. The high was 55F. Perfect. Gale force winds yesterday. Becoming the norm here. Today we had rain most of the day and more coming. No idea how much. Not enough though. And now the high winds are back again.

 

Yesterday I had Messiah practice in Lindsborg. It was hot and humid in Presser Hall. And we worked hard. During one song that goes very very fast, we were doing soooo good!! Kept the tempo, stayed together. Then. Then the director was reduced to giggles. Surely could not be that we all lost our way at once. Surely not!!!

 

I told Willie we were going out to eat in the evening. I am too tired after singing from 3-5 to cook. Went to Arby’s. It was ok. Anything is better than cooking.

 

Nothing on my agenda today. Nice to veg out for a change. My back has just hurt the last few days so bad I could barely move. Worse than normal. Today much better. Must have been the change in the weather. Gotta get a grip and move more. Gotta. Marsha called this morning. Large tour coming in tomorrow at the Red Barn Studio. I am going in to help with it.
