Good evening!
Much to my disappointment all the
pictures I loaded for this post would
not load!! But this one would go figure.
This was taken on my way to work. It is
raining and the sun is trying to pop out.
Kinda funny I thought. We had rain
most of the day and the sun did pop out
this afternoon.
So back to the plan for this post. I was
going to finish telling you about our
Lindsborg trip. Maybe next Wednesday I
can get those pics to load, it is so frustrating
when you get your pics chosen and then you
can't get them to load!!
What's been going on here---well Mr. Ken
and I are back feeling pretty good minus
allergies for me. Both of us are crazy busy
at work. K with computers and me with kids.
Playing catch up around the house, when both
of us are sick a lot of things get put off. Fall decorating will take place this weekend maybe adding a bit of Halloween thrown in there too instead of separating them.
Got two big Mums last weekend that need
to be planted and I have two mini ones also. Pumpkins are next for outdoors. Put up the
Fall flags yesterday.
DVR'd two shows last night and I might have
more as the week goes on. Can't wait for
Thursday...
Will and Grace are coming back!!!
This is where we are at. How about you?

Hello!!!
I have a couple of questions for you.
Where has this week gone?
Monday came and went before I
realized that I did not post on Mon-
day.
Where has this month gone? Seems
like forever ago since school started.
I can't keep up!
Update on the illnesses. On top of
what we had been dealing with, both
of us ended up with the stomach flu!!
No idea how that happened, we kinda
stay away frome each other when we
are sick. When it rains it pours.
We are over that now and hopefully
we are finished with being sick!
Now back to catching up on all the
stuff we are behind on from home.
A little birdie told me that we are
supposed to have a seasonal change
come Friday.
Mother Nature must have missed
that memo.
It has been so HOT and humid this
week, it will not seem like Fall here
for several days. Very tired of being
HOT, so ready for cooler temps and
cool weather clothes.
What is up with everyone else?? I'll
be back tomorrow to see everyone.
See you Monday and hopefully I
won't forget to post. :)

Hello All!
I must apologize for being
so far behind.
We have been under the weather
off and on for a couple of weeks
and let me tell you, I am tired of
it!!
Mine is mostly allergies but Mr.
Ken has had sinus infection from
you know where and then he had
a bad reaction to his antibiotic.
when it rains it pours.
Let's move on to more fun things.
For our last day trip of vacation we
went to a little town that is touted as
"Little Sweden." Lindsborg, Kansas.
Lindsborg is small town living but
boasts a "walkable and welcoming"
place to live and or visit. At the last
census 3,500 people made Lindsborg
there home.
Valkommen--means "Welcome" in
Swedish.
Art along Main Street.
Descriptive sign for the art above.
More art on Main St. I see I forgot it's
sign.
This is St Lucia. Celebrating the Festival
of Lights. A Swedish celebration on
December 13th.
Heading down Main Street.
One of the Bed and Breakfast Homes.
Very colorful.
Visitor's can rent bicycles to ride
through town. (click on the pick
and you will see it better)
Stopped here for lunch. Great food!
This was on the menu.
My cute lunch date.
Stopped at Trollslanda Toy Store.
It means "dragonfly " in Swedish.
After spending 15 years in Denmark,
the owner brought the feel of a Scandin-
avian toy store to Lindsborg.
I could not resist this picture!
Welcome to Bethany Lutheran Church.
Erected in 1880.
This lovely table is in the entry.
Beautiful organ. Can only imagine
what this sounds like during a service.
These are replicas of the first minister
and church building.
The first church building was built
outside of town on August 18, 1869.
It was so fun to find these on the current
church grounds.
I love old churches but this one touches
my heart because I was raised Lutheran.
Our last stop today is the Lutheran college,
Bethany college.
A peek on campus.
Next week we will finish this tour.
Thanks for your patience with my slow
posts. I will get caught up soon!
See you Monday!!

Please take a moment today
to remember...
See you Wednesday.

Good evening, after several tries
and many pictures later we have
a post.
Not the initial post I wanted but
sometimes you have to punt and
go with something else.
Fast forward to this past weekend,
we took our annual trip to Grinter
Sunflower Farm.
This is the original field, it
is located south of the bigger
field that we went through.
For a dollar visitors can cut
their own flowers to take
home.
There are 40 acres of sunflowers!
Farmer Ted started planting on
July 9th and they were ready
for viewing at the end of
August.
It is so much fun wandering
through the flowers, some are
taller than I am and some are
still blooming!
See you Monday!
Wednesday hopefully we can
get back to vacation post (s).
~Keep on Dreaming~
Happy Labor Day!
Hope you have had a
spectacular holiday
weekend.
Lots of catching up
going on here.
See you Wednesday!
