Two days until turkey month!

 TERRY

Terry had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it seemed like she had not been in the car for a long time. I think I said before they did a "sniff" test which sounds crazy but it is related to her lung.  They also did an X-ray of her right lung.  The appointment lasted about 45 minutes.  As I write this morning she is reading her morning paper which she enjoys.

I say on Facebook this morning that George Lee passed away Wednesday.  He was 96.  He was a wonderful neighbor who lived about a mile from us on the farm.  As with so many of the "Lee" guys he was a avid hunter and active guy.  I smiled when I read about him as at the age of 37 he seemed on his way to being a single guy.  BUT someone set him up on a date with Llse who had come to Veblen SD from Germany.  They were married three months later.  He was in the same vein as Dad and Uncle Halvor with his deer hunting, fox hunting, bird hunting and more.  I could almost say they don't make them like that any more but I am sure that is not true.

I will tell a story about Llse.  Her mother came over from Germany to visit and Llse invited my mom to drive over to meet her mother.  Mom came home and was shocked when she came home.  She said Llse's mother was reading the Bible and drinking a beer when she arrived!!!  Mom just thought that was the worst ever!

I have tennis in half an hour.  This will be the fifth straight day of tennis and there may be one more tomorrow.  

Not any plans for today other than tennis.  Well I could clean up a whole bunch of paper work around here and as I say that it sounds like a good idea.

It is now mid afternoon

Here I am and it is now way after I started blogging as the time is 3:30.  I played tennis for the 5th straight day and I think that is enough for this week.  Some guys play on Saturdays at 9:00 and I have been part of that BUT will forego that tomorrow for a couple days rest.  

I am just exhausted today and really for no good reason but it is what it is.  

Terry is watching TV in the living room now.  She got out of bed in the bedroom and used the walker to get to the couch which is about a 30 foot distance.  I held the belt around her but really she just pretty much walked the entire way by herself.  That is the first time we have done that without the Pt person here.  That is certainly a step in the right direction.

Enough for now and for today.  I promise I have a GREAT Halloween picture for tomorrow!!!
