A busy day


TERRY
Well I did not do too well yesterday.  I called Terry about mid day and in our talk I mentioned, in a loving way, her need to eat so there needs to be NO feeding tube.  She got very upset.  She said there would never be that and then shortly after she said good-bye.  We did talk later in the evening and she sounded good.  I would say her feistiness in the afternoon was perhaps a good things but at the time it got me down.  We are now on the week where we will be talking about some transitional placement.  I only hope that it goes well.  

My black thumb reminded me of times long ago.  There I am working hard in our shop.  As you can tell it certainly was state of the art!!!  I have circled our drill press.  The cylinder that is in the circle would be pressed down with the handle as one was drilling.  Well as I was fashioning my new putter for my golf course I had my left hand on the top and the cylinder was pulled down as I drilled.  The lever slipped and the cast iron cylinder shot up and crushed my thumb against the stop on top.  That was the last time I lost a fingernail and the only time I had to tie my hand above my head.  I have written about it before but perhaps never with the picture.  I think it was the only time I saw stars in the middle of the day with a bright sun!  As one can see my shop skills had not gotten very far at that time as I am cutting a piece of wood with a saw intended for metal.  AND I promise I am NOT saying they are great now either.  You can not see my feet but I would bet $100 I did not have shoes on.  No hat and no shirt was pretty much every day on our North Dakota farm.  The shoes and shirt went on if we were allowed to ride with Dad into town.  I would point out that there is a big smile on my face and I do think that was pretty much everyday, almost!

It is 9:00 AM and the Lee's are on their way to the Boundary Waters.  They will be gone 2 weeks and will come through on their way back to South Bend.  They arrived yesterday and we all went over to Steve's for dinner.  After breakfast and a LOT of FP they packed and were ready to leave.

I have not planned out the day yet.  Weather wise it is just a perfect day.  It is currently 70 with a high of 75 for the day.  As I opened the back door this morning I noticed the gallon of primer sitting there and it kind of had a message on it.  Get this on the windows in the kitchen!  Not sure how that can came to talk but it was pretty clear!  Maybe!!!

It does not seem like it is Monday.  I keep thinking it is the weekend and maybe that is because of John/Mary and kids being here.

So the FP, all three pots, is gone and it is now time to figure out the day.  I should not waste it as days like this do not happen often.  Work, I THINK here I come!
