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 17/03/2012 …Heat, work, Swedes

 

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.
