Here is what a 20+ million dollar man is-Mauer

 Terry and I met Dick and Jeanne Larkin Wednesday for a fun time at Twins spring training, a nice lunch and dessert at their place.  I am not a huge fan of things like games or events where million dollar boys play but this was a fun time.  I wanted to be like Leo and get a ball so I went way off my  myself and waiting until a ball from batting practice came a short way from me on the ground.  I then slipped through an exit that was for emergencies only and snatched the ball up before hurrying away!!  When I rejoined everyone I had it in my back pocket just like Mauer did on the field!!!!
We continue to experience perfect weather, sunny and in the low 80's.  Perfect for tennis and Terry played four times each of the last two weeks and has three times scheduled for next week.  I need to get into the swing of things again.  For most of last week and this week I have been only a cheerleader for Terry.
We are looking forward to Terry's sister and husband coming tomorrow and staying for two nights. They are in the market for a warm place for the winter.  They live just outside of Chicago.
Time is winding down for the winter.  It seems like a short time ago that we arrived in Naples and here we only have about 35 days before we head out. 
Our plans are to head out about March 29 and take in a couple of places on our way to Washington D C.  Then April 6 we will fly out of Washington for a 10 day trip to China.  When we arrive back in D C we will head to New York City for lunch at Katz Deli and a couple of days in New York.  Then maybe we will spend some time in the New England States before heading to St. Paul.  We are trying to plan how to work in woodworking, a trip out West and two weddings this summer.  Like I say, this retirement is difficult, never a day off!
No more FP coffee left and work to do before company tomorrow.
