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 30/03/2012 Futbol, art, Swedish group, mojito…

 

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!!!
