A cooler day

Day 16, "Every picture has a story"

Mom with her sister Bertie.  As I have said before Mom was the youngest, by 10 years, in a family of double digit kids.  Bertie was older than Mom.  They both married farmers and lived a mile and a half apart.  Mom did not have a phone for a long time and when she got a phone she was on a different network than Bertie so if they wanted to talk it was long distance!  After the farm burned and Mom and Dad moved to Veblen Mom was 10 miles from her sister BUT the phone call was no longer long distance.  I think they talked often.  

Another tennis day this morning.  I spent much of the day reading and perhaps Terry and I will watch a movie tonight. 

My bike tires are still holding air so I pronounce them both good to go and I should not have to deal with the tires the rest of the season.  GOOD.

John, who used to live next door, called yesterday to see if he could come over and use our internet.  The place he is renting is still not UP in terms of TV or internet.  Afterwards we chatted for some time.  He belongs to Audubon Club just north of here and invited us to brunch next Sunday.  YES, we said as they have an awesome brunch.  That will be fun.  John, at 80 and widowed, is often looking for company.

It is late in the day and I am finished.  My FP, I finished it after tennis as I slept until 6:15 and did not finishe before I headed to the courts.
