Weather is getting hotter again. And again. Usch. Hit 100F today. For joy. Willie burned the last 2 of our wheat fields. Glad he is done. A big worry for me.

Today was my granddaughter Ashley’s birthday. So I took her and Chris out to lunch. They picked Martinelli’s in Salina. It is a great Italian place. Mmmm. Then we went to the mall. I bought Chris some new shoes and I bought Ashley a new jacket and tank top. I saw several shoes that I wanted but really did not want to pay that much. Will probably go back later and get them!!!

 

Came home and took a short nap. Couldn’t get comfy then Willie came home. Sigh……

 

Busy weekend coming up. Gone all day tomorrow, work day on saturday, and sunday should be ok. Just lunch out. Oh well, better than sitting around.

 

The Cook’s Paint sign above was in my relative’s store. I am related to the Train Bros. They had a furniture store, funeral home, carriage shop, and radio repair shop. Many years ago.

Blogg 11/07/2012 Fun times…

 

Weather is getting hotter again. This weekend it is back to the 100s. Took a drive with friends and it is heartbreaking to see the dead and dried up corn fields, dried up ponds, scorched earth. And we are doing nothing to save our environment. Sad and scary. We got 2 wheat fields burned today and one yesterday. As dry as it is, it is scary.

On tuesday I went on a road trip with 3 friends. Two of them were extras when the movie Picnic was filmed here in Kansas. So we visited all the places it was filmed in. We went to Nickerson, Halstead, and Sterling. We had lunch in Yoder at an Amish restaurant that is beyond great. And about 15 kinds of pie to choose from. Then back to Lindsborg for a stop at the Öl Stuga for some cold drinks. It was a perfect day!!!! Great to have one of those.

 

Today I decided just to be lazy. And did a fair job!! I skipped the knitting café I usually go to. Just tired. Then I got an invite to the White Peacock for tea. Could not say no to that. Nice to be there and to have a great visit.

  The rest of the day I did a little housework and chatted with a friend on FaceBook. He is a new friend there. And amazed he asked to be my friend. But I am usually amazed when someone asks!! Just me!! Fun chatting!!

Tomorrow I am going out to lunch with the grandkids. Was Chris’ birthday and tomorrow is Ashley’s birthday. Be great to be with both of them again!!!

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!
