February 2nd and NO tennis today!

 TERRY

It is 5:40 AM as I write and I think Terry is still sleeping.  I woke up 3 minutes before my alarm was set to go off at 4:45.  Terry has water therapy at 1:00 today and I would say she is same as same as.  

I woke early to see Travis off.  By 4:55 sandwiches were packed, Coke was on ice, TWO cups of FP were ready and chips were in the bag.  He motored out of the driveway before 5:00 with about 1700 miles ahead of him.  I think and am hoping that he stops someplace this evening before he gets too tired.  He does want to get home before late tomorrow as the forecast is for snow in Minnesota after midnight tomorrow.  He drove 26 straight hours coming down BUT hopefully not going home.  After taking 5 weeks of vacation he will be back to work Sunday night when the temp is supposed to get to some minus number!

I did make Tater Tot hot dish yesterday but I doubt it was on the same plane as what he makes.  I went by a recipe and it called for cut green beans which were only OK, not great.  IF I end up making it again something else will be put in.  The other thing is it is NOT a slimming item so I may skip it for some time.

Well modern tech is not always good.  Travis left some time ago and I decided NOT to go back to bed so what does one do at 6:00 AM.  Well you get on the computer and then of course you use your phone for whatever. NO phone anywhere!!!  My first thought was did I somehow put it in a sack that is in Travis' car?  My phone is connected to my hearing aids so I put them on and dialed.  The ring was loud and clear so there was proof that the phone was NOT on its way to MN.  Well for the last 25 minutes I searched pretty much every corner of the house with NO luck.  I was hesitant to dial it much because I did not want to wake Terry.  I went from the garage to the pool area to see if the ring was louder or softer but NO phone.  Finally as I checked the laundry area for maybe the 5th time I opened the door to the bathroom that is attached to the bedroom and there it was on the vanity.  As one would know it was in the last place I looked!!!

I became sad as I said good-bye to Travis as he drove off down the driveway.  It was certainly fun and nice to have him here for a couple of days.  Just a great time to catch up on news and enjoy each others company. I really should say enjoy his company as I am not so sure I am good company to anyone these days.  

No tennis this morning and I am not sure I understand WHY.  I got a call last night from one of the guys and he said it would be too cold this morning so they cancelled.  Well I looked at the temp this morning and it is cool but still in the mid 50s!  I certainly have played tennis in much colder temps than that.  It is still windy but really TOO COLD.  Well I do play enough so it is not the worst thing in the world but still "too cold" is a bit of a stretch.  Well it frees me up to get some things done today.

I think this is about it for this morning.  Here it is getting close to 7:00 AM.  I am guessing Travis is perhaps going past Tampa now as he has been on the road almost two hours and it is 150 miles away.  I would think when you get on the road at 5:00 AM traffic is a non issue.  

Travis did take two cups of coffee so I went ahead and made myself another pot of FP.  Will enjoy it for the next hour or so.  That is it for now.
