TERRY
Terry had a great day yesterday. Two friends, Barb and Barb, stopped over in the afternoon for a visit. They brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers which Terry is enjoying so so much. Just this morning she mentioned that she loves the flowers as each time she looks at them she remembers the visit that she enjoyed. I am going to step out on a limb today and see IF she wants to get into our pool!!! It will be interesting to see what happens IF she does it. I have no doubt that we can do it safely but time will tell if it gets done!
Here I am at the computer and 7 is the big number! Yesterday for dinner Terry asked for egg rolls. We have these mini ones that are really good. So I put 8 of them in the fry pan and put them in the 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. When they were done I put a glove on and set the pan on the stove. I needed to cool them for a couple of minutes so I took the glove off and put it away. A couple of minutes later without thinking I took hold of the handle to turn the pan around on the stove BUT NO glove and my hand took a beating. I now have 7 blisters on my right hand from the hot handle. I can not describe how my hand felt by just using nice words so will dispense with that but after holding my hand in ice cube water for a long time the pain subsided a tiny bit! By the time I went to sleep at 10:00 most of the pain was gone. All is well this morning but I am wondering IF I will be able to hold a tennis racquet Monday morning?? I guess it will be like much of my life, "wait and see"!
We have nothing planned for the weekend. I may get to the grocery store once but that is about it. I have decided over the last month that weekend tennis is not for me now so with no tennis yesterday. My body will have a 3 day rest. I was pleased yesterday. I had left my towel on Thursday afternoon so went over to the club to get it yesterday. Phil, one of our pros, complimented me on my play Thursday. We played on court 1 which happens to be next to the pro shop and Phil was sitting and watching much of the time. I feel I have gotten somewhat more aggressive at the net which I feel has helped my game. Just to make sure anyone who may read this understands my game is NEVER going to be great. I started playing in 2012 (at the age of 65 and over the hill) and then took a winter off with a broken hand and then again took a winter off with a ruptured hamstring which means I have played for about 8 winters and to be honest I never play in the summer so it takes me time in the fall to get back into tennis. No complaints or excuses just facts of a kind of mature male!!!
I watched Henry's BB game on the computer again. He played last night and I watched it this morning. That may have been the last game but I am not sure. I don't know if it is good to bad but as I watch those games it brings me back 56 years to those high school days. It also brings me back to the friends I had like Dan, Larry, John, Dave and others. To this day I can tell you games that stuck out as GREAT and games that stuck out as AWFUL! A two point win at Ellendale late in the season after an 18 point loss early stands out. The two point loss at Britton hurt and the season ending 22 point loss at Lisbon stunk up the place. To be fair John and Dan, two of our starters, were hurt near the end of the season and our subs were less than able fill-ins. But it was supposed to be all fun, right??
I have been enjoying some venison that Aaron sent. Oh my goodness I had almost forgotten how much I enjoy it. I still have a couple of frozen packages that I will save for later. I hope Aaron is able to go hunting again and maybe Leo next year as well. Perhaps a hunting story soon!
I am finished writing for the day. I enjoyed my FP but it is gone so will try to get some paper work done this morning as I need to see what papers I need yet to file with the IRS!
