The last Saturday of May 2020

TERRY

Here it is about 8:00 and I have not talked to Terry so no update this morning as I did write last night.  The last few days she has called in the morning so I may hear a bit later on.

Finally a GREAT morning.  I want to say I have nothing bad to say about Mom and Dad who, in their older age, enjoyed instant coffee with the foam on top.  AND I have nothing bad to say about John and Judi who have perked Folgers which is fine.  I have nothing bad to say about Marlys and Travis who have this new fancy Keurig which I also have indulged in the past many days.  AND I don't know about Joan/Ron or Glorine but I THINK they do not enjoy the good life of FP.  BUT as I know and it is a truism that FP is really the best!!!  AND then to enhance it with organic heavy cream one just can not imagine anything better in life.  Well of course life would be better IF Terry were here and well BUT that will come.

A couple of memory pictures for today

Here I am with Esther, Roxanne and Bryan.  I have no idea what the occasion was to have all three at the farm at the same time.  How about that curly hair of Roxanne's!  They kind of look not so happy with Uncle Carmen.

Well this is quit the looking group of basketball players.  What is it with knee pads for basketball?  From left to right we have Greg, Joe, Carl, Chuck, Jack, Walter, Carmen, Larry, Pete, Marvin, Tommy and Orville.  This was taken in the winter of 1960.  I would say those are pretty fancy uniforms!  AND as one can see there were NO uniform socks or shoes.  If I remember right that tiny trophy is for second place.  I have no idea where it was taken as I am pretty sure it is NOT in Cayuga.  I know that at least 5 of these guys are not with us anymore.

Here we are only 2 days away from June of 2020.  It looks like it will be a perfect day in terms of weather.  I think I need to mow the lawn today even tho I did that on Wednesday.  With sun and that inch of rain it is growing fast.  I will have to see how the mower runs today as it has been kind of acting up and I am thinking that is a reason to get a battery one.  I think I will put the bag on today as last time I did leave some clumps of grass which I did not like.

Travis got home from delivering the papers around the Twin Cities and he said things were pretty quiet during the night.  A relief from the last couple of nights.  He did say many stores had their windows boarded up.

No, time to get dressed and maybe a nice bike ride.  Oh my the day should go really well with the FP consumed.  I am hoping that anybody who reads this has a fantastic day and weekend.
