Weather was hot again. Again. Over 100 most of the day. Had Swedish group, lunch at Pizza Hut with 4 of the Five J's, then a road trip to Colby Kansas and back. A long but fun day.

Weather has been great. While quite warm, there is no humidity. In a wind warning all day. Chance of rain tomorrow. One can dream….
Had such a fun day today. Started with my Swedish group. My friends Janet, Jeanette, and Beth attended today. And they enjoyed it. Janet was surprised how many of our group she knew. And even Beth knew a couple. They are planning to return. And even want to plan to bring food for the group. Maybe this is the shot in the arm we need!!!
After we went to the Öl Stuga for lunch. Great sandwiches there!!! Then we walked across the street to the White Peacock for tea and something chocolate. We sat in the back room and were a bit rowdy!! What fun!!
Then I stopped at Lan’s garden to try to take some photos in the gale force winds. I am just soo stupid. I did get a few and a video. His garden is going to be breath-taking soon. It already is very cool. I saw something odd there. In one of the birdbaths, there were 2 honey bees at the edge of the water getting a drink. And then later I saw a hornet doing the same. A first for me.
I have a frustrating situation. Someone I sort of befriended and now truly regret has ingratiated himself into my life on FaceBook. He joined 2 groups of towns that I have or do live in. He has NO connection in any way to either of these places. He scans photos from some place where scanning is not allowed and then posts them as his own. And some of the ‘information’ he posts is wrong. I have corrected him and then he jumped on me in public. He has invented a ‘research’ group that he ‘works’ for. The group is a fantasy. Soon he will be asking people for money. He did this with another group. He had no need for money for anything. If anyone was stupid enough to give him a dime, it went in his pocket. I know a couple of people I know think he is so cool for posting these photos. I would like to tell them, but I do not want to look like I have an axe to grind with him and being petty. I warned my friends I was with today. They already had figured he was weird. It bothers me that he is every where I am on FB. I have blocked him from seeing most of what I post. I am hoping that others get a clue. I will not be meeting him for lunch anymore. Just too weird.

Weather is just too warm. The house is too warm. The A/C needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, that is not my decision or right or privilege to do that. So, I suffer. There has been rain in the state, but nary a drop near my farm. What else is new?
Everything blooming is about a month early. Our wheat is headed out. IF we get a freeze in april, our crop is cooked. And that could happen. Time will tell.
Wednesday I had acupuncture. She did the normal needles. I have no idea what has changed but my back pain is a bit less. I have done nothing different. I am not pain free, but better. Hmmm.
Today was my Svenska Vänskapsgruppen, Swedish Friendship Group. Actually had a nice group. I had bought a 1900 Messiah poster/article. I brought it and read the text then passed it around for the group to see the photos. It sparked so many memories of Messiah festivals of the past. So much history and so many memories. This was Alf and Maud Brorson’s last meeting with us. Oh, how I will miss them. They leave the monday after Easter. Alf told us about Påsk – Easter – in Sweden. Wish I was there. I always wish that.
I took myself out to lunch at Jalisco’s. I surprised Eric there by learning a new phrase all by myself. ‘Muy sabroso’. That means ‘very tasty’. Francisco and I had a fun talk about futbol!! Finally. Someone I can chat with about futbol!!! Most people around here have no idea there is such a thing or any of the players. The waiters from Jaslico’s play futbol every sunday afternoon. After Easter, I am going to watch me my first live futbol match!!!!
This afternoon I worked at Lindsborg Collects. My last time. It was fairly slow. My friend Naomi came in to chat a bit. Good to see her!!!
Came home tonite and had a mojito. Ended the day just right!!!

Weather remains too warm. We have flowers and weeds blooming. Flies are buzzing. I saw my first wildflower in my driveway. That is all nice BUT…..it is still winter. WINTER. And we cannot get a drop of rain here to save our life. And today we had our usual gale force winds. Will they ever quit?
Friday was my Swedish group. And we had special guests. Alf and Maud Brorson are here from Sweden for a month. Maud is the artist in residence at the Red Barn Studio in Lindsborg. She is a textile artist. Great to see them.
I took myself out to eat at Jalisco’s. I am getting soo used to eating alone. Hardly bothers me at all. But then the wait staff at Jalisco’s are more friends than workers. They all joke with me, see if I am doing ok, and take good care of me.
I volunteered again friday afternoon at Lindsborg Collects. That is an art show of art from private collections. The owner must live in Lindsborg and the artists must be from Lindsborg. A great variety of great art. Had fun people visit.
I met my friend Mary after working. We prefer to meet over a glass of wine, but…. There no longer is a place to go for wine. Where we went has closed. Still have the local bar, but there are too many people there. So it was back to Jalisco’s. We get good care and no one cares what we are talking about. Had a great visit!!! Rehashed old news and shared new news. Must meet more often.
Worked today. I only gave 2 tours but there was lots of comings and goings all afternoon. I did get to chat off and on with Maud and Alf. And for a while after work. I love having them here!!! I have several things of hers I am going to buy.
Called my friend Bill tonite. Was hoping we could meet for lunch tomorrow. Not this week. No lunch for me tomorrow. Could go alone, but I guess not.
