Now complete

Terry

Not much new about Terry.  She had PT twice yesterday and even though she says they do not do much I think they are doing as much as possible and it wears her out.  It sounded that they once again had her stand for just a very short time.  No news as to the tests that they have done however it seems that the tests that have come back so far are actually good news as they have not shown anything beyond her feeling sick.  They did a brain scan a couple of days ago and that was negative.  I am very thankful that I am not scheduled for a brain scan as I am certain they would not find anything at this moment in time!  So it in now into day 23 and counting.

Helen and Joan sent me pictures from our Jamestown gathering in 2018 so I will repost yesterdays and add the one I could not find yesterday

Helen thinks this is on the farm, maybe but I don't remember the fridge being there.
Joan confirmed this is at the farm
Pretty sure Helen was in the Air Force at the time

What lake is this at and what year about?
This is at Judi/John's cabin

2018 in Jamestown

I could add that long marriages are a trend in the family.  I think I am correct when I say This y Joan/Ron at 59, Dave and Marlys at 55 and Judi/John at 51 I think. I do not intend to leave our Glorine, John and Judi but will add some pictues tomorrow as I feel we are all siblings.  I am thankful for life that includes ages of (this year) 73, 78, 70, 76, 84 and 84.  I have included Glorine and John in with the sibling ages.  As anyone would know we have so so missed Janet and John over the last many years.  Janet would be 81(?) and Ronald 84.  If you want to add Mom/Dad's marriage at 50+ and their ages at death in their mid 80's I would say for the most part in age our family is above the average AND of course above average in talent!!!

On to more.  I enjoyed Rich/Betty and Liz/Karl coming over for a visit yesterday.  We sat around the pool and visited for almost 2 hours.  This being alone for the last 3 weeks as me almost forgetting how to have a conversation.  It was a fun time for me.

No plans for the day.  I will get a card to Terry but I do not know when I will talk to her.  She said she was scheduled for PT at 8:00 this morning and early afternoon.  Maybe we can get a talk in between those times.  I will have to get a bike ride in.  When I woke up this morning it was to the sound of glorious rain.  We have been so so dry and the rain just sounds and smells great.  It has now stopped but I think it is going to rain again this AM.

I have been passing some of the time by watching on Netflix stories of WW II as they have at least 2 series on.  The one I am watching now is one season but I think I am going in to the 10th 50 minute reel.

Some more time for memory lane

Here was bath time as we camped in Lincoln Nebraska for 6+ weeks in the early 70's.  Our home for the entire time was a blue canvas tent and our cooking was mostly over an open fire.  John was 2 1/2 and Travis was 6 months.  It was an adventure to remember!

We spent 4 nights in Denali National Park on our 2014 camping trip.  When we arrived there was a campsite for only 2 nights and somehow Terry got it for 4 nights!  These pictures were taken on a bus ride that we took that was about 50 miles into the park from our camp site.  We had gotten up that morning and really had nothing in mind except to go to the park headquarters to see what was happening that day.  We got then just before the bus was going to leave.  I rushed back to the car to get the blanket and we got on the bus.  It was certainly one of the highlights of or Alaska trip.  In additon to the caribou and grizzly here we saw Dahl sheep WAY up in the mountains and other wildlife as well.  It was four days of fun as we camped in the park.
