Day 34, "Every picture has a story"
Larry Fangsrud and daughter with John and I in the summer of 1970. When I started school in Cayuga in the fall of 1957 Larry and I became friends. We went through grade school, high school and 2 1/2 years of college as best friends. We seldom saw each other after that but have reconnected in the last few years. Larry lives in Havre MT and is a great, if not the best shot, in their gun club. He retired a few years ago and we have visited him twice. The stories we share are many. As sophomores in college he had a Honda 350 and I a Harley 250. We played basketball and football together in HS. In grade school he would sometimes come visit me and I would sometimes visit him in Cayuga. From a humble beginning he was very successful and I should add a great guy.
Terry and I are now settled down for a stretch of home work after getting the wood in ND. We had a delightful visit with cousin Arlene on our way back. She lives in a facility for the elderly in Lidgerwood after falling in her Veblen home a year ago. She just is a great person. At 92 her memory is perhaps better than mine as it seemed she remembers everything. We just dropped in and the look on her face when we walked in was a million $ smile. I am so glad we stopped. I am terrible at stopping in to visit people but when we do it is fun.
John, Liam and Henry will arrive early PM today. I think they will stay overnight and then head to South Bend tomorrow. It is always fun to see them. I do not know when Mary, Audrey and Elspeth will fly home.
I do not need to say this BUT there are a million plus1 things to do around here. Sometimes I need to stop, take a deep breath and count what has been done to make sure I do not look at what is in front of us and quit! God took care of the watering of the garden so no need to do that today. Those darn fans in the living room, well Monday may be the day as I will not do that when John is here. Paul got the woodwork painted while we were out of town so I am guessing the walls will be done next week.
Enough for now as I do want to get in a short Bentley ride this morning.
