TERRY
We leave at 9:00 this morning for Terry's 9:45 doctor appointment for her left foot. I am guessing they will take an X ray again to see if it is healing. Our in home help is coming at 11:00 today and will stay until 3:00.
Kim and her husband Dave stopped over yesterday as they are driving back today. Kim's left leg is injured so she could not drive. It was nice to see Dave as we had not seen him for some time.
FARM ICONS
Well here is the bridge that was just below the him as you drove out of our yard and drove north. Yes, it is not really part of our farm BUT it qualifies as a farm icon as we spent so so much time around the bridge. In the early spring when the snow melted in the hills to the south the water would be almost up to the under side of the bridge. To the right the creek was just a bit wider and deeper than most of the creek bottom which meant late in the summer when the creek stopped running there was a pond of water that was there. It was a place to try and find tiny fish and just play around. To the left was our pasture as the creek flowed through the entire half mile of our pasture. The bridge was kind of a place place where we would find things, throw stones, walk under the bridge and just spend time keeping busy doing nothing. There was a wire that went from one side to the other and sparrows would often sit on the wire. One game we played was to throw a stick in on the left side and then as it flowed under the bridge and appeared on the other side we would throw stones to see if we could hit it and yes, pretend it was a big ship etc! As one can see the bridge is dilapidated now but way way back in the 50s and 60s it was not that way. I would say Dave and I spent 100s of hours playing around it. Today one has to say a prayer before you drive across it!! As I look at the picture my memory is flooded with good times!
No it is time to get dressed and then get things ready for the doctor visit.
