A great chance to do things!

On my list of things to keep busy is to check pictures on the computer.  Here is brother Dave and I am pretty sure it is Lisa.  If so it was taken in 1970 as Lisa was born in April of that year.  Look at Dave, clean shaven and looking pretty darn good!  I even think he is wearing a jacket of the times!

Here we are on the down side of March.  I think most if not all St. Patrick day celebrations were cancelled.  I am guessing that many many homes are busy with kids NOT in school.  It could be the start of a long active summer starting in March.  

Tennis today at 9:00 but will stop 20 minutes early as Terry has an appt.  I am nervous about Terry going out at all but these Dr. appt need to be done.  It will be soap and water on the hands when we get home.  I think they are saying 20 seconds of wash.  I think way way back on the farm we would come in from the shed, the barn, the dirt and a hand wash lasted maybe 5 seconds IF Mom had food waiting!

I HAD to make potato salad yesterday as that darn tennis party was cancelled and the menu had salad on it.  Can't let a whole year go by missing that!  I made it and it is certainly is not up to Terry's standard but I had a burger and salad for BREAKFAST and it did pass.  I think I need to mix a bit more heavy cream to make it moist.  But oh my goodness potato salad, a burger and FP, you could hardly start a day any better!  AND to add I did used Heinz store bought ketchup.  I just added that in case Glorine happens to read this as I gave her a bad time on the phone last December about the home-made ketchup she made when she and Ronald stayed with us one summer.  Of course I have recovered and for sure have forgiven her!!!!

I THINK I am going to drive the car out of the garage this afternoon.  Then I am going to set up a stool in the middle of the garage, kind of put my head down on my fist and then come up with a real plan to redo the garage.  It may take some time!  Things have to be thrown, old cabinets need to be OUT and then the floor needs to be scrubbed and polished.  After that a few new cabinets need to be installed but not as many as there are now as I want to limit keeping things to what one needs and will use instead of keeping things for the sake of keeping them!

No it is 8:40 so time to dress and get to the courts.  I need to leave a note for Terry to make sure she knows I will quit early and be back in time to leave at 10:15.  Tennis usually goes from 9:00-10:30 for the middle play time.

I have half a cup of FP that I will savor as I get dressed and then it is off to the courts.
