This is it---last day of 2020 and I THINK everyone is ready for 2021

 TERRY

We are looking kind of good!  Terry is back to using the walker for more things and she even suggested that today when she goes to WT she use the walker!!  That is huge.  We will see if that is still true this morning as her appt is at 9:00.  IF she does use the walker to get into the car and then into the WT building I still will put the wheelchair in the car in case she is tired after therapy and wants to us the wheelchair.  Time will tell as it is now 7:30 and we will leave at around 8;35.  

Nothing planned for today in terms of a celebration to welcome 2021.  We have enough left over food to have a feast and then some so probably no cooking for me.  I thought about going out and purchasing a 1000 piece puzzle for old times sake but then said NO.  What is putting a puzzle together without siblings, without fried potatoes on the stove and no ping pong on the kitchen table???  I decided it is best to live in the present and just remember the past without trying to relive it.

OK so I just may quietly resolve in my own mind to change some things in my life.  I need not go into details here but it certainly would be a good thing if I changed in some ways.  

I do wish I had some pictures of some of the things we did on the farm during Christmas.  Things like what we built with the electric set and Lincoln Logs, some of the puzzles we put together etc.  Of course I am not sure IF Dad ever took pictures of those things but even if he did they would have gone up in flames when the farm burned.  Oh my I do not think of it very often but so so so much was destroyed when the fire swept over the farm.  As I look back over that time and the years following I know I would do some things differently but that was then but life is NOW so best to not go there too often in one's mind.

I had a tough time going to sleep last night.  Way too much going through my mind as I lay in bed with eyes closed trying to get my mind at rest!  Part of it may have been because I was exhausted yesterday I decided to just lie down for a short time and opened my eyes THREE hours later.  The nap was heavenly but I paid for it last night.   

I was excited when Aaron sent me this picture of his deer that he shot yesterday.  I called last night and it sounded like he had a fun hunt and he claims that my Weatherby shots to the mark.  He will have it processed and then am hoping they enjoy some good venison.  Of course it is always better when you have gotten the deer yourself.  Aaron is thinking that next year Leo will go with him as he has gone through gun safety and only needs to do the field shoot.  As I talked to him I relived many many memories in my mind of hunting in the North Dakota Badlands with Dave, Dad and John Mouw.  

No here it is 7:45 and I do need to do some things before we head to WT so will sign off.  I will finish my FP in the car as we go.

HERE IS WISHING EVERYONE A MOST WELCOME 2021 AND MAY GOOD HEALTH FOLLOW EVERYONE

In case people who read this forgot WT stands for water therapy!
