No State Fair in 2012

As today, Wednesday, arrives it is very clear that there will be no state fair for Terry and I this year.  We had hoped and planned to attend two days but it will have to be in 2013.  Terry did well yesterday.  She ate some food, we went on two walks and I think she slept fairly well last night.  It seems that her digestive system is slowly beginning to work better and better.  I am guessing that our diet for some time will be restricted but of course it is better to be safe than sorry. 
Once again as I sit in the sun room in early morning the cool breeze, the sun lit tree tops and clear skies tell me we are still in MN summer and for now we are enjoying wonderful weather.  The temp today is supposed to be about 90 so it will be hot.  I did give in to the weather and put back the two window AC units.  I had not put them in after I painted the windows but this week looks too hot to not have them in.
I was thinking of sister Joan this morning.  She has a BIG birthday coming this Sunday.  I will not mention what one it is but she will not be 29!  In August sister Helen caught up to me by one year but then I remembered---in January I will go ahead of her by another year again.  Dave, well he always keeps ahead of me.   Brother Red, who died at the age of 27, would be 76 now and I think sister Janet, who also died at the age of 27, would be 73 now?  I am not sure of that.
Each late summer at this time I look back at the many many years I was getting ready for a new school year at this time.  I am so so so thankful that I was able to retire from teaching five years ago.  The time goes oh so fast.  This fall is the 6th that I have been able to drive past the school and smile!!!
Another day to:
  • enjoy that great FP coffee
  • to get some trim on the stairs going into the basement
  • for Terry to keep getting well
  • mow the back yard
  • maybe put some polish on the camper
  • pick the ripe tomatoes
  • water the garden
  • take some walks with Terry
  • take in my appt this morning
  • make sure we  have the right food for Terry
  • drink that great FP coffee--oh I already said that but then one can never get enough of FP

    Yes another 10 years has gone by, still going strong and don't know what the next 10 years will bring. Keep pushing forward with a positive attitude. Charlie got transfered back to Salt Lake in the process of moving now, so the quintuplets will be born here so glad that we will get to be part of that. In the 90's again today have had over 70 days of 90 or better. Wishing Terry the best for good health. Joan
