A sad day

A typical Dale thing!  I am guessing on one of their road trips.

Dale Binde died Sunday.  The Dr. just could not get anything to help his lung condition.  Deb has said there will be a wake and funeral late next week.  With this bum leg it just is too difficult for me to travel so we will not make it up to MN.
Dale was a farmer like no other.  Sometimes I wondered if he had dirt in his veins instead of blood!  Deb will have her hands full now with the farm, the land and all that goes with it.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her, the children and grand children.  One of their daughters, Deanne, died in a car accident about 8 or 9 years ago.
Another tennis match today that I get to drive to and then sit and watch but what the heck I can still do that!
A first cousin of Gail's, David Theilman,  died over the weekend so February has not had a very good start.  Maybe as the month goes on it will improve.  For sure it will as Mary and Mark Saunders will arrive for a visit Saturday night and be here until Wednesday early morning.  That should be fun.
Also I did not get to the phone but Grandma Saunders turned 97 yesterday.  I think this past year has been a trying one for her but she seems to be doing well for her age.
Enough as I need to do somethings before I leave for the tennis match and yes, the FP is almost history.
