A cool down is here!

TERRY

Not any thing new to say about Terry as I just blogged late yesterday afternoon.  It is now about 7:00 AM and she is still sleeping which is good.   I am guessing she will soon wake up and want the newspaper.  That is her go to thing in the morning.  So no news but will see how she does today.

The temp is 63 right now and it looks like a high of only 79 today.  Actually a very welcome relief in the weather.  Tennis at 9:00 will be nice.

I came across this picture which was a slide.  It is the Saunders sail boat and in the picture are Aunt Rose and Uncle Hugo.  The short story is they were a couple that would be the envy of many.  Hugo, at the age of maybe 70+ put a new roof on their home by just building a brand new one about a foot higher over the old one.  He built several boats and the last one spent many years at their cabin and pulled many skiers.  But really what I thought was outstanding was what they both started to do when they reached the age of 60 or so.  They got into archery.  Over many years they compiled many many trophies from all over the midwest, both of them.  I would say they were a couple that never sat still and were examples of people who kept on living and doing well into their old age.  I am not sure if they every had a TV as they seemed to be active all the time.  I thought the red sail went well with their red shirts!

Wow we will be celebrating Thanksgiving a week from today.  We have the turkey so I need to write myself a note to be sure I take it out of the freezer in time.  As with most people, we will be just the two of us with no company.  This virus is going crazy at this time so I am guessing that BIG family gatherings will NOT happen at all this year.  I am afraid that may also be true for Christmas but we will see.  I think Terry and I will have a simply meal as I will be making it and my chef skills are kind of limited.  I would really like to make cream potatoes but am not sure that goes with turkey.  I think that is more of a ham side dish.  Anyway I should start to lose some weight now as there will be a lot of left over turkey which is the best!  I wander how one makes turkey leftovers?

That is all for this morning.  Terry is now awake and reading the paper with the TV on.  I am in the middle of my FP and using my favorite Alaska cup so life is good!
