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 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 17/05/2012 Day Alone…

 

 

Weather has been great. While quite warm, there is no humidity. Even at 90F, feels ok outside. Really windy today with higher winds tomorrow.

 

 

Was supposed to meet grandson Chris for lunch today in Marquette at the Valley Café. He never showed. Called later to apologise. He only had 2 hours sleep in the last couple of days. Working too many hours. He crashed and burned today. That is ok.

I loved watching the wheat wave in the wind today. Did a short video of it. Harvest in about 2 weeks. I am definitely not ready. My back will never be ready. I had one nice year where daughter-in-law #2 helped me everyday. That was wonderful even if she turned out to be a horrible person later. Having someone to help cook and carry all the food, tables, chairs made harvest fun. One year out of 45. Sigh. I have no one at all to help and no back up at all. If I get sick or my back gets really bad, makes no difference. I still have to get food and deliver. I have started buying food more than I used to.

American Idol was disappointing tonite. I really wanted Phillip and Joshua to be in the finale. But great to see Lisa Marie Presley. So rare to see her. She is so beautiful and looks so like her father. And I always like seeing Adam Lambert. Next week will be exciting.

I was blessed again today. When I came home a Scissor Tailed Flycatcher sat on our fence for me and posed. Such a lovely bird. They rarely come near the house. Second time he has done this. Very nice.
