A day to pack

TERRY

I did visit Terry yesterday and she was OK.  We were able to spend about 40 minutes together.  I brought her one of the drinks that her daughter Kim sent.   She said it was good but could only drink part of it.  She said the next time I should just bring half a drink.  It seems that PT is going oh so slowly.  She did stand yesterday and then the gal showed her how to put one foot in front of the other. Like I said it is a slow process.  I head to Florida tomorrow and return Wednesday afternoon which means I will not see Terry for a week as visiting is only M, W, F.  So next Thursday I will have 7 days to get ready for her release.  So so much is still unknown and I am not sure I am up for this!  BUT of course there is no choice so I will do my best and hope that it is good enough for Terry.  The big thing is a wheelchair but I got some advice from sister Joan for that.  Anyway I will keep up with Terry by phone but will not see her until next Friday.

Not much to say today.  I did drive up to White Bear Lake to give Norma and Wayne a jar of my A+ jam.  Norma had e-mailed back and said she would have breakfast so we ate and talked for almost an hour.  I would say that there just is no finer couple than those two.  An example in how to live life for sure.

It is currently 11:00 and I have only the front lawn to mow other than packing today.  There really is not all that much to pack but I just need to make sure I take the right things.  I think I will pack in boxes as I will save the suitcases for our plane trip on the 26th.  I do think I need to put a load of clothes in for the trip.  I am debating about how to spend my time in the car.  I have decided to take two hours at a time with the radio.  So it may be Elvis for 2 hours, the the Beatles for 2, then 50s for 2, then 60s for 2, 70s for 2 and the plan goes on.  With my mind on sports growing up I may hear many of those 50s, 60s songs for the FIRST time.  They are a far cray from Harry Carry and the St. Louis Cardinals!

Darn, I did my pod of coffee and then forgot to put the hot water in the FP so now I need to wait a bit.  Maybe I can get a start on packing the car before the FP is ready.  So I39, I65, I24 and I75 I am coming tomorrow with music in my ears and Terry on my mind.  It will be interesting to see how far I get tomorrow.  I plan to have my FP in TWO cups and then some water to go as well.  That should keep my from driving too far before stopping.  I am sure you get the drift!
