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 18/05/2012 Happy Days…

 

 

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.

Blogg 30/04/2012 My weekend in photos…

 

Saturday was the Artist’s Open house in Lindsborg at the Red Barn Studio and 10 other studios in town. I worked from 10am till 530pm.

 

My granddaughter Ashley, her boyfriend Zach, her mom Kim, and her friend Liz stopped to see me. Prom nite. They wanted me to see her all dressed up and to get photos of us together. She looked so beautiful and grown up. I almost cried!

 

Too tired to cook so Arby’s for our evening meal.

 

Sunday Elly and I went to Abilene to eat at the Brookville Hotel. They serve family style fried chicken dinners. Too die for. After eating we drove around Abilene looking at some old homes. Then we took all back roads to Lindsborg.

 

Back in Lindsborg, Elly and I went to the White Peacock and sat outside in their courtyard. Heaven on earth!!! Just perfect!

 

And along the way, I took time to smell the roses. Well, the peonies anyway!
