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.

Blogg 18/02/2012 Eating out, work, goats…

 

Weather is a bit cooler today. We had light rain overnite. Extremely light. Maybe rain on monday.

 

Yesterday was my Swedish group. We seem to get fewer all the time. Only 11 there. How much longer can we go on? Used to have 30 every week. All the ones who enjoyed have either died or gotten too sick to come. And no one younger can be bothered. They say good things about us but truly do not care or several of them would show up once in a while. Ha.

 

I met Naomi, Betty, Keo, and Linda in Assaria for lunch. Several local women cook the noon meals and it is great food. Great farm cooking!! Yesterday they had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and pie. I had coconut pie. Mmmm.

 

Today I worked at the Red Barn in Lindsborg. Quiet day. Several people were in but none for tours. And Mary came in to have me help with a computer problem. Well, really a software problem. No problem. An easy fix. Nice to see her. We had time for a little chat also.

 

On the way home I drove past some neighbours farm who raise goats. They have many kids now. Sooo cute. I opened my window to take some photos and they were sure talking to me. So fun to hear!!

 

Tonite it was steak nite in Marquette at Rusty’s. The. Best. Steak. Ever. None of Willie’s friends were there so it was a quiet evening meal. But sooo gooood.

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.
