Day 26, "Every picture has a story"
We welcome November with open arms as we are beyond Halloween and are looking forward to Thanksgiving on the 22nd. One has to really concentrate when you go out and about as Christmas things have been prominent for a LONG time already and it is difficult to focus on the NOW. I do feel that there is certainly time enough to focus on Christmas AFTER Thanksgiving!
Our story for the picture today centers around Wood Lake School, Gail's quilt and Ronald/Helen. Ronald was 14 years older than Helen. The quilt, it was lovingly made for Ruby and Lawrence's 50th anniversary in 1985. Wood Lake School, the stories could be MANY. Joan, Dave and I attended the last year it was open which was 1955/56. I finished 3rd grade, Dave finished 6th grade and Joan 8th. Our teacher, who lived in Geneseo, invited us to her house for an end of the school year party. The playground, the noon lunches, the 12 students in 8 grades and the list goes on and on. Happy days as I recall. There really is nothing that can compare to walking a mile and a half to and from school each day. Stones, ditches, water puddles, pasture fence posts, sun rises, they all become your friends and make memories that last until the cows come home so to speak!
Well last week my team was 3-0 and yesterday we were 0-3. That means we are at the 500 mark and looking forward next week with a home match. Yesterday was not great tennis (is it ever?) but court #1 (not me) brought the match to a 10 point tie breaker only to lose but it was fun to watch. Not sure about my pairings for next week as I am still waiting for one of my best players to arrive and he will not be here next week.
Terry had another injection in her left knee yesterday as it has been giving her problems. She said it did not hurt but oh my the black/blue mark is huge. The doc said it was for her hamstring.
I will not be at the computer for a few days. I am headed north to MN today to try my luck at deer hunting. I have a buck only license so IF I only see does I will try to capture a deer with my camera. IF I see nothing I will try to capture sunrises, sunsets and landscapes with my camera. I wonder if deer can hear the click of a camera from 200 years?
My FP perfectly complimented my sausage/potatoes/eggs this morning. AND as I sign off I still have about 3 delicious sips left!
