Blogg 21/06/2012 Pleasant day…

 

 

Weather was great today!!! We actually got 1” of rain last nite. A bunch of small storms all bunched together. I went to bed with thunder, lightning, and rain. Today it never got to 90F. The next 10 days are hot and dry. Hope that changes.

 

I took Elly to Applebee’s for a birthday dinner for her. Good food and better visit. While we were eating a large number of families came in and they all had service dogs with them. The dogs are trained in Concordia KS. The kids are supposed to 13 yrs. old to get a dog but the little boy who sat near us in only 10 yrs. old. Got an order from his doctor. Most of the dogs were labs but two were similar to St. Bernards. They were gorgeous. The little boy next to us had a Border Collie. For more info about the dogs, read here.

 

 

After lunch I did some shopping at Target. They used to have decent clothing but they do not even have a simple pair of black slacks. Why even look there? They have thousands of outfits for teens but not much else.

 

 

I went to Marquette to deliver a new phone to Chris. He was jogging and his phone flew out of his pocket. The whole phone was full of cracks. The slide show above is photos I took there today. And they are all taken with my new iPhone 4S. Takes awesome photos. Even HDR photos. Cool!

Blogg 17/06/2012 Busy times, rain, turning hot…

 

 

Weather has been nice but it is ending. We had 2.5” of rain the last 2 days. Today was 90s and humid. Tomorrow is to be over 100. Ick.

 

I worked extra time on saturday. Lindsborg celebrated Midsommarsdag that day. We were supposed to have dancing on our front lawn, but they got moved elsewhere. We had lots of people come in though. The celebration used to be in one of our parks. And they are both HOT with no air moving even if there is a breeze. And it cost to get in. This year the celebration was downtown. It was free. There were booths and people showing how to do things like make Swedish pancakes. I heard that the crowd was good and many people were going in the shops. Before the downtown was totally left out. I think it was well done and a success.

 

After work I went to Elly’s for her birthday celebration. She had a great crowd. I think 60 showed up. She had it on her deck and yard.

 

Today was Father’s Day here in the US. It was just going to be Willie & I. No family celebration. Sally invited us to join there celebration at the Brookville Hotel for chicken. A nice gathering. We enjoyed it. It must be hard for Willie though. There are those who think he could not care less about being remembered for holidays, etc. but they are wrong. He has talked to me about how much it hurts. Wish I could fix things. When I try, I fail. Tonite I am sooo anxious. Will have to take a pill soon.

 

Late this afternoon there was a Midsummer church service at Bethany Lutheran Church. It is all in Swedish. Had a nice crowd. And we sang at least 3 of my fave Swedish hymns. I loved it. My singing Swedish is my best Swedish.
