Blogg 5/07/2012 Heat and more…

Weather continues really bad. Everyday is over 100F. And no rain. There is rain in other nearby states but none here. Like Kansas has a wall around it.

  

Have not blogged in a while. Had a very upsetting event happen last week. Totally through me for a loop. Totally unexpected. I have just sort of withdrawn. No wants to hear me whine and most don't care. Will blogg when I feel better. Today, just sharing some photos.

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.

Blogg 26/05/2012 Hot days…

 

 

Weather has been awful. High high winds and hot temps. Today in Salina it hit 100F.

 

Willie and our hired man have worked on our combines all week. It did not go well. Cut our first load of wheat late this afternoon. I guess our helper is NOT taking a vacation this year to help us. He will be around on his days off but that is it. My stress level just took a giant leap. I am sure his stress is much worse but he won’t talk about it. I have tried. We used to be a family farm but no longer. It is just him and me. No one to help, no one for backup. It drives me nuts. And as we get older, it is a big worry. But we will do what we can and have learned to survive without asking or expecting help.

Family reunion tomorrow. Wish I could skip it but since I am the president, I must be there. The cousin I like to sit with has decided not to attend and now my brother is not going. My son, husband or any other one close to me all refuse to go. But there will be great family from far away and lots of good food. Be glad when it is over.

Really should not be blogging when I am not feeling good. I will end with some photos from the past week.

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 22/01/2012 Snow…

 

 

Weather stays quite cool and tonite we have SNOW!!! Real snow!!! I went out in it for a bit. Have to enjoy it while I can since our drought is to only get worse. Has very strong winds over nite and this morning.

 

I worked yesterday. I had 4 people come in but not for tours. Nothing to do with me. It was nice to have some action in the studio but still had a boring day.

 

Last nite we went to Marquette for steak nite. Been a long time. The bar has been closed. Could not sell it so it is open again. Best steaks in the world. The salad with it sort of sucks, just lettuce. I forgot to bring my own dressing and a baggie full of crouton, dried cranberries, feta cheese, etc. Now that is a salad!!

 

Met Sally, Paul, and Kenny at Pizza Hut for lunch today. Easy to eat there when I have to work. Nice to visit.

 

Worked again at the Red Barn in Lindsborg. It was beyond boring. Not one person came in. The artist left as soon as I got there. He will be back tuesday. Boring. And caught up on my computer work. Did I say it was boring.

 

NOT a good day for me. The pilot light on our heating/ac unit went out last nite. It will not relight. We have no heat except for out portable heaters. We had trouble all last summer with it. And now we are having trouble in the winter. It is older than dirt. Literally. There is a simple solution but….. I have no say. My stress level is again through the roof. Repair guy will be here early monday morning. Very frustrating. Sort of feel I have no where to turn. No can understand and no one cares, so I will quite whinging.
