If your name is Hemming or Henning, then today is your day!

Yesterday was quite busy. I had a list a mile long of stuff to for Swedish group today, a wedding Saturday, and family reunion on Sunday. I got it all but a loaf of Swedish rye bread. Will do that Saturday.

Today was Swedish group. The hostess had to cancel so that leaves me. I served an assortment of pastries and grapes. We had a guest from Sweden there today and one from Texas. Our program was a Swedish lesson. Today we learned about holidays in Sweden and reviewed the weather terms we learned a couple of weeks ago.'Vackert vädret'. Last week we had a Swedish man and his wife visit. I wrote up a short article about them and their visit here and included it in our weekly minutes for our local newspaper. And I also submitted a photo of them also. And both were printed. Of course, true to our local paper, I received no credit for either. Oh well. That would be expecting way too much!!

Then off to Salina. I saw many farmers in a field learning about the different kinds of wheat planted. They plant several rows of different varieties of wheat and see how they grow in our soil and weather. They invite local farmers out to see for themselves.

I treated myself to having my hair done today. I have too busy a weekend to have to worry about making my hair look nice.

When I was leaving Salina I saw a sign that reminded me of Becky and her ducks and quacking! I had to turn around and find just the right place to park to get 3 shots of it!!

I was supposed to then drive back to Lindsborg for a meeting with Mary and Marsha. I called when I left town but Mary said Marsha was home and feeling bad. I decided to go home and if Marsha felt better I would drive in then. I never got a call. I hope she got some sleep and rest.

We had quite a surprise yesterday morning. The mother cats were on the porch with their kittens. But instead of 4 kittens we had 6! I hope that is all there is. They are eating us out of house and home!

No blogging tomorrow. Have to work until 4pm and then must be at a wedding by 5pm and after a wedding dance. After my reunion on Sunday will have time.

If your name is Carola or Karolina, then today is your day!

Yesterday was a nothing day. I stayed home, did some housework, sat outside for a long time, enjoyed the cats. Did not even have to cook. Willie brought home pizza.

Jo has had 2 bad days. Willie is working cattle and she does nothing but get in the way. Yesterday she was forced to stay in the house with me. Today she is locked in the truck in the shade. I did get a shot of her living the 'life of Riley'!

Last nite was American Idol Finale - Part 1. It was good and both singers did great. But it lacked something from other years. No huge song with all the fantastic effects. One of the judges wrote a song they both *had* to sing. I did not like the song and it did not fit either of the singers. Tonite we find out who won. I voted - many many times. I was able to get on all I wanted between 1115pm and 1159pm. Hope I helped.

Today is much like yesterday. No plans. Out early with my cats and had a surprise. There were *4* kittens instead of only 3. Cool. I went out this afternoon to take some photos with my real camera, but the batteries soon died. My other set of batteries are still charging.

Weather today and yesterday has been quite warm - 70s to 80s with lots of sun. Unfortunately we also have lots of wind. High winds. In a wind advisory today. Rain is coming back this weekend.

Need to go run errands but just too lazy. Will have to go tomorrow. Have to. The hostess for my Friday Swedish group had to cancel so I will do it. Must buy food. Family reunion is on Sunday. I supply all the plates, cups, silverware, napkins, bread, and butter. I have nothing. Would rather not do it on Friday since I have a hair app't after Swedish group. And if I go tomorrow I might actually have something to blogg about!! And photos!

If your name is Erik, then today is your day!

Today we had great great weather again. In the 70s with sun and a nice breeze. Just perfect. 

I met Connie for lunch at Chili's. We meet every month. Good food!

 Tonite an auction committee meeting was scheduled. My co-chair Todd was absent. I was a bit nervous but it went ok. And we actually accomplished quite a bit.

With the nice weather, we had our meeting in the front courtyard. Very nice. I came home and sat in the sun for a while with the cats. Have not seen the kittens for 2 days and not heard the other litter either. I hope the mother cats just moved them.

When I was leaving town, there was a large tour bus parked. I wonder if they are staying over nite or just hear for something special. Good our busses are returning. We lost many tourists for several years, but with the ecomony, we could lose them again. Tourists are our life blood.
